Eisenhower and MacArthur Ike Scheduled to Leave Hawaii by Plane Late Saturday Night for U.S. By DON WHITEHEAD ABOARD CRUISER HELENA EN ROUTE TO HAWAII, Dec. 10 (AP)—Gen. Douglas MacArthur will discuss his plan to end the Korean war with President-elect Eisenhower in New York, a reliable source close to Eisenhower said today. Neither time nor place has been set for the meeting, the informant said. However, there were indications the meetings might be held next week. Presumably it will be held either at Eisenhower's residence at Morningside Heights or his headquarters in the Commodore hotel. It will be only the first of a number of meetings between the two who commanded the Pacific and European theaters during World War II, the informant said. He said Eisenhower plans to call on MacArthur frequently for consultation on Far East affairs during the new Republican administration. Eisenhower expects to leave Hawaii by plane Saturday night and arrive in New York Sunday night. Meanwhile, Secretary of State designate John Foster Dulles told friends he hopes after he takes office to make a world tour that would carry him to Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. Dulles said he planned to study world conditions as they relate to Eisenhower's program of peace, informants reported. Dulles is interested in making the trip to get first-hand information just as Eisenhower made his trip to Korea. But Dulles has no timetable and has said he does not know when he will be able to board. Truman Calls on MacArthur to Disclose Plans ABOARD TRUMAN SPECIAL, Dec. 10, (AP)—President Truman called on Gen. Douglas MacArthur today to disclose to him "at once" if he has an air-tight plan for ending the Korean war. In effect, the president produced MacArthur to deal directly with the White House—and now without waiting to confer with Republican President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower. "If we can cut this fighting in Korea short one day we should do so," Truman said in a terse written statement. "I think if anyone has a reasonable plan for ending the Korean fighting in an honorable way that will not lead directly into a great war, that plan should be presented at once to the president." Less than two hours after Truman issued his statement, a reliable source reported that Eisenhower and MacArthur will meet takes office to make a world tour that would carry him to Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. Dulles said he planned to study world conditions as they relate to Eisenhower's program of peace, informants reported. Dulles is interested in making the trip to get first-hand information just as Eisenhower made his trip to Korea. But Dulles has no timetable and has said he does not know when he will be able to break away from the task of reorganizing the State Department. Later Dulles told correspondents that the conferences abroad the Helena "will pay dividends to the American people for years to come." "There won't be any immediate grand-scale pay-off," he said, "but it will be a gradual thing, reaching into every part of the government's operations at home and abroad. "We have been able in this time to form the framework of the new administration policy and we all know the direction we are going and the goals we are aiming for." Eisenhower and his advisers continued talks aboard the cruiser today. Inhalator Called Anaheim Fire department's inhalator and the police department answered a call to 710 S.

(UP) The army announced today it will apply the brakes to production tanks and trucks. Some plants will have to close as a result of slowdown.

His bride-to-be, left waiting at the church, did not know of Howard's plight until notified by police. Chiang Kai-Shek's Pendulum Swings Back Again Spencer Moosa, veteran Associated Press correspondent, was on one of the last Nationalist plane flights out of China three years ago today when the Communists were completing their conquest of the mainland. He alone among foreign correspondents stuck it out to the last with Chiang Kai-shek's beaten forces in West China. Not until Chiang left China did Moosa leave. In the following dispatch, Moosa contrasts that distant day with today. By SPENCER MOOSA TAIPEH, Formosa, Dec. 10 (P) Three years ago today, President Chiang Kai-shek quit the Chinese mainland for Formosa before the onrush of the conquering Communists. Chiang vowed to return. But to most people he was finished, once and for all, with the only prospect the Communist seizure of Formosa and, for Chiang, flight or death. Since then, the wheel of fortune has turned. Fewer and fewer persons now deride Chiang's chances of making a comeback. His armies on that day were beaten and scattered to the winds. Today he has possibly 600,000 men in his army on Formosa. While it is shy on equipment it is getting more and more material help from the United States. His air force and navy, with obsolescent and inadequate equipment, had preceded him to Formosa. Both forces still need equipment, but they have the promise of more modern tools of war from the United States. And the morale of both services is high. It was a cold, dismal day that Chiang left Chengtu, last Nationalist capital on the mainland, for the flight from that city to Formosa. Chengtu had been the capital for 10 brief days after Chiang had withdrawn from Chungking, the previous capital. People waiting for the fateful hour of departure knew it was at hand when they saw a soldier carry the telephone switchboard from the commandant's house at Central Military Academy, Chiang's headquarters. A little later Chiang emerged, got into his car and left. He looked at the big bronze statue of himself on the academy grounds. What his thoughts were, he kept to himself. A few days before he had to this correspondent: "We shall continue the fight from Formosa." seemed hardly possible then. On the way to Phoenix Hill Field outside Chengtu, Chiang sailed the long lines of his soldiers passing through in their retreat southward. Chiang stepped out of his car at the airport. He wore a long Chinese gown, a heavy, dark topcoat and a felt hat. He boarded his four-engine plane, the Chung Mel. for the flight to Formosa, 1100 miles away. Others in his party boarded three air force transports. A company or so of Nationalist soldiers at the air field watched silently as the planes roared aloft. But no flags flew and no band blared. In the four planes heading for Talpeh, more than one person must have reflected that a nation had been lost forever. Today they are not so sure.

Daily Living for Peace of Mind Editor's note: This is one of a series of daily articles by Anaheim ministers and is published by the Gazette in the interest of the kind of daily living that leads to contentment and happiness in troubled times. Light on the Road By Rev. William McKinley Walker Wesley Methodist Church When Wm. T. Grenfell of Labrador fame was considering the proposed trip to the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts—the costs, the deprivation and suffering, and the loneliness—he had difficulty in making the decision. He consulted his mother as to what he should do. She replied, "I would use daily the words of the 143rd Psalm, 'Teach me to do today the thing that pleases Thee.'" Grenfell went, and thousands of fishermen and their families were blessed by his medical ministrations of many years. Do you waver in deciding how best to fit into the program for your life? Turn to Psalm 143:8 and 10, and with David and Grenfell say, "Cause me to follow the way wherein I should walk and teach me to do Thy will." If everyone who reads these lines would do this, Anaheim would far exceed her present glory.
