...farewell interviews with old friends in the White House press corps last week, Harry Truman managed to take a shot at an old foe. His "primary reason" for firing General Douglas MacArthur, he told United Press's Merriman Smith, was that MacArthur "wanted to involve us in an all-out war in the Far East." For more than 24 hours after this shot zinged off in the old soldier's direction, there was nothing but silence. Then, having laid his guns carefully, MacArthur sent back a whole volley. Through his aide, Major General Courtney Whitney, he issued...
...mobilization plan outlined three successive phases: first, expansion of the bases of production, i.e., raw materials and plant capacity; next, stepped-up (but not all-out) production until the needs of the U.S.'s 3,600,000-man defense force and its allies were covered; and, finally, throttling down to output for replacement only.

No one at the Eisenhower headquarters was inclined to get into an argument with him. Contrary to some speculation, there was no oversight and no deliberate affront in the way the Durkin appointment was handled. Taft was asked for recommendations, submitted some (including Connecticut's former Senator John A. Danaher). His suggestions were considered, and rejected. Ike thought that Durkin would give the Cabinet balance and implement the campaign...

Chairman Paul Magnuson tipped the commission's hand: instead of recommending a compulsory national health service, it will advocate all-out expansion of voluntary prepayment health plans, with health centers (run by local doctors) dotting the country...
