The Korean War created the need of US steel production to continue. Without steel, the manufacturing of weapons such as aircraft and a long list of supplies the US Military required would be hampered.President Truman took control of steel production. Later the US Supreme Court ruled that Truman did not have the legal authority to run the US steel mills.

What action led to general MacArthur immediate discharge during the Korean war?
General-Of-The-Army Douglas MacArthur refused to accept the idea of the Korean War being a limited war, and wanted to win it; he believed that he could do this by means of an invasion of China. However, Harry Truman, the President of the United States then in office, believed such a limited war would be preferable to allowing the Korean War to explode into World War III. Involving China in the conflict would have been, Truman believed, "the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong enemy."MacArthur's repeated criticism of that decision amounted to insubordination, as far as Truman was concerned, since he was convinced that it threatened the principle of civilian control of the armed forces as embodied in the President, whom the Constitution elevates above any general OR any admiral by making the President civilian commander-in-chief of all the armed forces of the United States. Finally Truman relieved MacArthur for insubordination and ordered him back stateside. Truman explained, "I could do nothing else and still remain President of the United States."

What emotions did Truman have towards Stalin during the Potsdam Conference?
Probably frustration was the main emotion. (Entire books have been written about this meeting, which marked the beginning of decades of "cold war" between the nations represented.) Truman was pretty straightforward about his feelings and emotions. Truman did not disagree gracefully, and Potsdam was a situation where he and Stalin disagreed about so many things, yet he had to remain graceful and diplomatic. Frustration. There were other factors adding to his frustration: (1) Truman had only been President for 4 months, so a lot of what he was dealing with was new to him. (2) Winston Churchill, who arguably had been the defacto leader of the US-Britain military alliance, was voted out of his office in the middle of the Potsdam Conference. So Truman started with the clever and experienced Churchill at his side, but suddenly found himself at a loss with Churchill's replacement Clement Atlee. (3) WWII had virtually ended for everyone else, but Truman still had to deal with Japan; effectively defeated, the Japanese leaders still refused to surrender, threatening an extension of the war that had the potential to result in over a million deaths.
