OF MACARTHUR
Step
Had Been Considered For Nearly A Year
Washington, May 17.
President Truman told a news conference today that he decided to dismiss General MacArthur when the General issued his ultimatum to the Chinese Red commander in the field late in March, although the President had considered the dismissal for nearly a year.
Mr Truman said General MacArthur exceeded his authority in his message to the Chinese Communist field commander. He explained that the action should have been submitted first to the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The President said he first began to consider the removal of General MacArthur last August when MacArthur sent a massage to a conference of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
