British Call Mac 'Most Unpopular' Yank, Jebb Says

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

General MacArthur is probably the most unpopular American in England today, Sir Gladwyn Jebb, British Delegate to the United Nations, was quoted as saying Saturday.

Jebb was the guest of the United Nations Council at an informal reception in Kirkland House. Hugh Schwartzberg '53, president of the U.N. Council, in releasing Jebb's remarks to the press quoted Jebb as saying that MacArthur's dismissal was "probably justified."

Own Business

Schwartzberg said that Jebb recalled the U.N. resolution of last July, placing supreme command of the Korean situation in the hands of the Americans, and said whoever the American government dismisses is its own business.

Jebb was also quoted as saying that eventual peace in Korea depends on the attitude of the Communist government, not on whether or not we bomb the Chinese supply bases.

At Jebb's request, the U.N. Council did not release the statement on his remarks until the British Delegate had left for New York.
