Dousir SUBJECT: Peyton Ford called and said the Attorney General had spoken to'him about an item which he, the Attorney General, had seen on the ticher this morning to the effect that General MacArthur's plane developed mechanical trouble. around 10 o'clock this morning and it was necessary to' have. him change planes as they were hauing difficulty with one engine. The Attorney General told Ford he thought we shoul& check into this and see what the difficulty was.. I told Ford it was probably some operational matter and Ford said he.frankly didn't see any necessity but since the Attorney General made the request he thought we should. ascertain the reason for the delay. I have mentioned this to Mr. Ladd and a check.is being made. cc: Mr. Ladd Mr. Belmont L BN:CMC RECORDED - 71 /2 68 SEP 10 1951 o 18EP17 r51
