BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Green H. Hackworth, State De-
apartment legal adviser, testified to-
day that the st. Lawrence seaway
bill was not intended to be treaty,
but an agreement subject to con-
gressional approval.
Mr.. Hackworth appeared at the
opening of hearings by a Senate
Commerce subcommittee to deter
mine the legislative course Of the

Saying the agreement would be-

Doris Duke Upheld
On Nevada Residence
lin Divorce Case

By the Associated Press.
RENO, New, Nov. 2l.-District
Judge William Mcknight has up
held, in effect, Doris Duke Crom-
wells contention that she was a
bona fide resident Of Nevada when
she obtained her divorce here last
December.
He held as null and void yesterday
a New Jersey court ruling that
neither Mrs. Cromwell nor James H.
r. Cromwell, former Minister to
Canada, were actual Me- ida resi-
dents at the time.
Evening star., 1944-11-21

However, he postponed his formal
decision until November AZ in order
to prepare findings OF fact and con-
clusions OF law"
Judge Mcknight said he had read
all the dispositions submitted and
mad concluded that the motion by
Mrs. Cromwell's attorney, william
Woodburn. to amend all proceedings
should be granted and is granted. "
Mr.. Woodburn had asked the court
to determine the validity of both

sanction"
Had it been intended as treaty,
he continued, approval of both
Houses would not have been neces-
sary.
Senator Bailey, Democrat, of
North Capital objected to Mr.. Hack
lworth's statement, asserting that
under his definition the character
ization of a document would be de-
termined by the method of ratifica-
tion rather than by its content.
Quick Passage Hopes Dashed.
1 Chairman Overton of the subcom-
mittee observed that Congress has
the right to regulate its own citizens
but not those of any other nation.
He added that the moment Congress
decided to do anything In Canada,
it could not do so under an agree
ment.
Arguments over the seaway, which
has been recommended by President
Roosevelt. dashed plans for quick
passage of a billion dollar flood con-
troll bill.
Instead of acting on the bill in a
matter of hours preliminary to TAX
ing up $500, 100000 rivers and har-
bors authorization, the Senate faced
the prospect of controversy that
might run into next week.
The plans were snagged when
Senator Aiken. Republican, of Ver-
mont insisted on presenting his
amendment authorizing the seaway.
Even as the Senate moved toward
debate, Senator Aiken kept his COL
leagues in doubt as to whether he
would offer his amendment for the
flood bill or the rivers and harbors
measure.
Many Issues in Flood Bill.
Should Senator Aiken hold his
amendment for the latter bill, the
st. Lawrence controversy would be
removed from the fiood-control
measure, but there would still re-
main arguments over States rights.

and irrigation as well as several big
projects.
The House approved bills call for
postwar construction of food con-
troll, hydroelectric facilities, harbor
works and related projects through
out the country program backed
in principle by President Roosevelt
to create a shelf Of public works and
jobs.
Only recently the President re-
newed his long standing request for
approval of the seaway, estimated to
cost from $200,oO0,0oo to s40o, 900 900.

the atrocities, to be translated into
Japanese and Dutch and used dur
ing the next several weeks continu-
ously in broadcast after broadcast.
Some of these will not get through,
but some will. Also the Japanese
government, which maintains moni-
tors, will know Of the existence OF
the repeated broadcasts. So far as
the effects Of such procedure are
concerned, 1t might we'll cause the
Japanese to forbear in the case of
prisoners still in their hands. But
mostly it would make the Japanese
realize that the United States now
has every reason to press the war to
a complete and decisive finish.
There have always been lingering
beliefs among the Japanese that the
United States and Britain would
tire of long war in the Far East
and optimistic hopes that Japan
would be able to quit with a sub
stantial share of her booty intact.
The story Of the atrocities, to-
gether with the comments of Ameri-
can and British officials, would serve
to refute any such notion and would
explain to the Japanese people who
are not aware of the reasons why
the Allies fight in the Pacific that
to the lnfamy of Pearl Harbor an
even worse record has been added.
Certainly the story of American
reaction to the Japanese barbarities
should be told to the American SOL
diers and sailors stationed overseas.
While the antipathy to the japanese
has been very bitter anyway among
our forces in the Pacific area, the
official report of the atrocities COM
mltted against Americans and Fill
pinos should nevertheless be broad
cast In detail to all our overseas
forces, and repeated often.
While nothing the japanese did
at Pearl Harbor can be condoned. it
Is probable that inside Japan there
has been an alleged justification
patched up to bolster the idea that
the japanese had really cut off dip
lomatlc relations before the actual
military bombardment of Pearl
Harbor occurred. While this is not
factually true, it is one Of the things
probably not difficult to make the
Japanese people believe. Likewise,
the Japanese people have been told
that the British and Americans
thWarted their economic expansion.
But while questions of that kind
might be debatable inside Japan, the
report OF atrocities will be heard
with feeling of puzzlement. For
while japanese denials will be made.
nevertheless there are plenty of edu-
Gated Japanese who will begin to
suspect that there must be some
truth in the official reports of the
American and British governments.
These Japanese will perceive at once
that their opportunities to mingle
again on terms of equality with
Americans and British after the war
Will for a long time be made difficult
II not impossible unless something
Is done promptly to depose the mill
tary clique which rules Japan or at
least to change from it's barbaric
course and give decent treatment to
prisoners.
The result cannot but be bene-
flclal to prisoners still held and
might even be the means of stirring
up dissension inside Japan. Ger
tainly the stories should be broad
cast regularly to South America
