''No foreign government," A in1i1t~ IAalltllJ,,< "was responsible for, or ever 1ntluence4 - the decision of the President to recall General MacArthur." This, he pointed out, had been made perfectly clear by Si · ,retary of Defense George Marshall at congressional hearings. Secretary Short added, moreover..: that the British Oovellnll9nt never made any request that MacArthur be removed. All this - a reflection of the debate going on in London. Where, in Parliament, there are expressions ot concem abou t American policy in Korea. Worry - about the bombing of the power plants along the Yalu River. In Congress, today, Republicans declared_ that the British might as well pull their small military force out of Korea, if the~, insist on blocking action against the enemy. .... - ESPIONAG E Brit a in has a new spy sensat1.on.
