BOSTON, July 26. —(AP)— Gen. Douglas MacArthur charged last night that Soviet propaganda "completely dominates" American foreign policy and claimed the result of the war in Korea has been "indecisive."
Coupling a bristling attack on administration policies abroad with what he called "reckless" spending at home, the five-star General laid down the major points:
1.—The United States has no foreign policy.
2.—Costs of government have risen at "an accelerated, alarming and reckless rate" with no plan for curbing taxes or inflation.
3.—"The survival of the free world is infinitely more dependent upon the maintenance of a strong, vigorous, healthy and independent American than upon any financial aid which we might provide under our own existing stringencies."
In the eyes of Massachusetts politicians, MacArthur has thrown himself into the 1952 Presidential fight—either as a candidate or a campaigner.
Both Republican and Democratic leaders see the 71-year-old General as far from "fading away" after he opened a two-day tour of the bay state with a bristling attack on administration policies—foreign and domestic.
