Wedemeyer
Proves
Truman
Wrong?
WASHINGTON,
D.C.,
(CP)
Backers
of
General
Douglas
MacArthur
claimed
today
that
the
long-secret
Wedemeyer
report
on
Korea,
which
was
made
public
yesterday,
proves
that
the
administration's
to
be
Bared
was
wrong.
Meanwhile,
it
is
reported
that
the
record
of
the
conference
on
Wake
Island
last
fall
between
President
Truman
and
General
MacArthur
may
be
made
public.

Residents
of

have
felt

the
last
20
years
to
Stafford

they
plan
to
pay
for

may

A

will
be
held
to
raise

to

from

eyes.

it
will
be

about
30
years

Mecham
now
is
eagerly

the
time
when

"Only

both

were
acquitted
at

by

in

after

in
five

of

"At

now

serious.
There

he
declared.
"If

"Someone
