Eisenliower Talks
W itli Mac Arthur
WASHINGTON, March 19 — (A?)
President Eisenhower had a talk
yesterday with Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur about the world military
situation, including the war in In
dochina.
MacArthur, now chairman of the
board of Remington Rand Inc., re
ported that the President wanted
to get his point of view on the
general strategic picture.
They discussed national and in
ternational matters with “great
frankness,” MacArthur told report
ers, but he added “no greater sig
nificance should be attached to the
meeting than that it was a gen
eral discussion between two old
friends.”
MacArthur’s last military post
was that of supreme commander
in the Far East.
When he was asked whether he
and the President talked about
Indochina, where French and loyal
native forces are fighting a furious
battle with Vietminh Red guerillas,
MacArthur said at first that he
“would not care to go into any
greater detail.”
He then added, however, that
Lamont to Lecture
On Artificial Kid
Capt. Lamont E. Danzig, chief,
fluid and renal section, surgical
research unit, Brooke Army Medi
cal Center, Fort Sam Houston, will
give a lecture at 7:30 p. m., March
22 in the lecture room of the Bio
logical Sciences building on the
A&M campus.
He will lecture on “The Use of
the Artificial Kidney in Medical
Practice,” Dr. Ide P. Trotter, dean
of the Graduate School said, today.
“This lecture should be parti
cularly interesting to biologists,
biochemists, pre-medical and medi
cal and medical personnel in this
area,” Dean Trotter said.
Indochina is an important part of
the world situation, and that “in
general we reviewed that situat
tion.” He declined to state his own
views of Indochina, saying “I am
no longer in a position of authority
and I have always thought that
responsibility should go with au
thority.”
It was the first time the two
old soldiers had met since last
June 8, when MacArthur was a
guest at a White House stag party.
He had two sessions with the Pres
ident today. In between he was
guest of honor at a small presi
dential luncheon.
MacArthur has been on inactive
duty since 1951, when President
Truman removed him as supreme
commander in the Far East as the
result of disagreement over policy.
