INQUIRY, INTO U.S. POLICY
Republican Move In Congress (N2. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 16. Thirty-three Republican Senators, meeting privately, decided to seek a Congressional investigation of the. Truman Administration’s foreign and military policies. The meeting instructed the Senate Republican Policy Committee to draft a resolution proposing the machinery for the investigation. Senator Eugene Millikin (Colorado) said that the resolution probably would propose the appointment of a special committee representing the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Senator Millikin said that some Republicans at the meeting had suggested an attempt to impeach Mr Truman, but the group decided to take no action along these lines until after the proposed inquiry was completed.
Fifty thousand letters and- 18,000 telegrams already have flooded into the White House as the result of General MacArthur’s dismissal The President’s press secretary (Mr Joseph Short) said that about 60 per cent, were against Mr Truman and 40 per cent, for him. Mr Short said that the later messages were rather heavily in favour of the President. The reaction in the first few hundred letters received last week was four or five to one against Mr Truman.
