The British Socialist publica- I tlon New Statesman and Nation i made thn charge In a front-page I editorial entitled, "MacArthur | Rides Again." The editorial said MacArthur i deliberately ignored "the clearly- ' expressed purposes of his super¬ iors" to avoid contact with the Chinese in Korea and seemed "Intent upon turning the Korean War Into a world war." MacArthur broke with preced¬ ent to authorize a reply to the attack. His spokesman said there was "no truth to any part" of the editorial. He eald MacArthur had re¬ ceived no instructions of any kind from his superiors about Chin¬ ese forces in Korea. MacArthur's only orders have been to destroy the North Korean military forces and restore order and peace to the countrj'.

WASHINGTON — Lund crime comic books have little or no effect! on juvenile delinquency, a nation¬ wide survey of public offlclals and child counselors revealed here yes¬ terday. Instead, the survey, released by the Senate's special crime investi¬ gating committee, showed juvenile delinquency is largely attributable; to lack of love In the home, eco-; nomic Insecurity, parental neglect, j and family bickering. ! Wide Survey | The survey was conducted among more than 70 public olficials and .child counselors. They included probation officers, welfare experta. psychlatrlsU, prison officials, and 'Director J. Edgar Hoover of the ';FBI. The committee published the replies without comment in a 250- ipage report. 'The committee asked if the ex¬ perU believed comic books are bad « waate of time, if nothing worse. Some replied that they should l)e ¦censored or banned. Other* con¬ tended they are a factor contrib¬ uting in some degree to delln- quenoj'. Only >l»y 'Contribute* But the dominant view indicated that sensational comics have little influence on delinquency and act— if at all—only as a contributing factor that may lie dangerous for "unstable" children made "vulner¬ able" by other factors. Some of the experts said comic iKioks are beneficial to youth—^by pounding home the maxim that "crime-does-not-pay" and by pro¬ viding a release for the aggressive drive of some children. Hoover haid that "lurid and ma¬ cabre" comics glorifying the crimi¬ nal and ridiculing law and order "may influence the susceptible boy or girl who already possesses defi¬ nite anti-social tendencies."

The editorial said MacArthur i deliberately ignored "the clearly- ' expressed purposes of his super¬ iors" to avoid contact with the Chinese in Korea and seemed "Intent upon turning the Korean War Into a world war."
MacArthur broke with preced¬ ent to authorize a reply to the attack. His spokesman said there was "no truth to any part" of the editorial.
He eald MacArthur had re¬ ceived no instructions of any kind from his superiors about Chin¬ ese forces in Korea. MacArthur's only orders have been to destroy the North Korean military forces and restore order and peace to the countrj'.

GEN. IKE thinks RUSSIA NOT READY FOR BIG WAR
DALLAS, Tex—Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said yesterday he be¬ lieved Russia neither wants nor is equipped to wage global war at the present time.
His remarks were made m a speech at the City Club, and Eisen¬ hower stressed that he spoke fot himself, onlv', and that he was not an expert on Russia.
"But I have .lany friends who know the Russian situation - II," he said. "The consensus among them is that the Russians .-rtill are not in a position, from either pro¬ duction capacity or morale, to pro¬ voke a global conflict."
Eisenhower firmly refused to dis¬ cuss with newsmen a United Press survey of Republican party leaders from coaj^t to coast which showed him a "long-shot" choice for the presidential nomination in 1952.
"I refuse to discuss politics in any form." he declared.
