OVER MACARTHUR CONDUCT OF Disclosure By Gen. Bradley
At The Senate
Senate Inquiry
Washington, May 24.
General Omar Bradley testified today that during the November crisis in Korea the Joint Chiefs of Staff ordered General MacArthur to withdraw his Tenth Corps from exposed positions and save his command,
Under heavy fire of questions from Senator William Fulbright, General Bradley reluctantly told the Senators investigating General Mac- Arthur's ouster that the Joint Chiefs sent this "directive" on Nov. 30 during very critical fighting against the Chinese Communists.
The day before, the Joint Chiefs had told General MacArthur they were worried about the exposed position of his command in view of the snowballing Communist attack.
