OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, Portland, April 11, 1951
- Douglas MacArthur Fired

A banner headline above the masthead reports: "MacARTHUR, FIRED, TO RETURN TO U.S." with a large photo of the "Dismissed supreme Commander..." and small photos of his replacements, Ridgway and VanFleet.
The report notes near the beginning: "...dismissed General of the Army Douglas MacArthur from all Far East commands on charges of failing to support United States and United Nations plans to defeat communism...".
