Dispute Benefited
China, Hurley Says

Mai. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley be-
lieves his controversy with the
State Department at least had the
effect of impelling Secretary Bvrnes'
statement OF policy toward China
and that this already has had
beneficial results" in that country.
The former Ambassador, who re-
signed after charging that State
Department career men" had
wrecked administration policy in
China, said last night Mr.. Byrnes'
policy statement also will be helpful
to Gen. George c. Marshall "in
bringing together all the parties of
China for the establishment of a
strong, united, democratic govern
|ment." Gen. Marshall has been
named special envoy to China.
Gen. Hurley observed that not all
the documents he requested to back
up his charges against the career
men" during hearings before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
had been provided the committee by
the State Department.
This request appears to have been
overruled, at least for the time be-
ing" he said.
In House speech yesterday Rep
resentative Rogers, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, member of the
Foreign Affairs Committee, said
there should be a further investiga-
ton of Gen. Hurley's charges.

Big Increase Seen
In D. T.. Eviction Rate

Families are being evicted from
dwellings here at a rate six times
as great as in 1912, according to
Rent Administrator Robert E. Cogs-
well.
The principal reasons. he ex-
planned, are growing shortage of
housing and reclamation of rented
homes by owners.
In many cases tenants are evicted
because the houses have been sold
to new landlords who want immedi-
ate possession.
The rate of evictions is about
twice that of 1914 Mr.. Cogswell
said.
Veterans are returning, either to
repossess their own homes, or are
buying for the first time. Many
Government employees who moved
out of town with their agencies are
being returned to Washington.
The housing shortage is expected
by Mr.. Cogswell to become even
more severe After the last war, he
said, the record shows that many
people who earlier had indicated
dissatisfaction with Washington de-
cided to live here instead of re-
turning to their former homes.
The record shows increase in
evictions over the past few years as
follows: 579 in 1912, 867 in 1913
1903 in 1914 and 1888 for the II
months of this year.

Senate Nears Decision
On Surplus Ships
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An impatient and argumentative
Senate neared decision today on
what to do about some $4,000, 600
600 worth of surplus ships.
The chamber by a 1928 roll call
vote late yesterday decided against
chartering some $40 of the war-built
vessels to Russia. England, Norway
and other Allies who have been
operating them under lease lend.
Still to be acted on are terms for
selling the ships.
The vote came after Senator
Knowland, Republican, of California
said this was the time to sell ships,
not charter them. He predicted
that continuation of chartering
would permit foreign nations to
build new, fast ships that would out
strip American flag vessels. Then
the old ships will come back, he
added.
Senator Byrd. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, who voted with Senator
Knowland, said he did so because
the charter proposal was SO compli-
Gated no one could understand it.
Senator Radcliffe. Democrat, of
Maryland, floor manager for the
measure, said that if Russia. Eng
land and the other Allies do not
want to buy the American ships they
now are operating under lease-lend
they must return them by next
March.

Jap Peers Expected
10 Pass on Election
Reforms Tomorrow
Ey the Associated Press.


TOKYO, Dec. 13.-Election re-
form legislation revolutionary in
japanese history is expected to be
passed by the House of Peers
probably tomorrow-as a first step
toward proportionate representation.
While the Diet wrestled with DO
litical reform. Gen. Macarthur at
tackled on the economic front, di-
rectlng the japanese government to
1naugurate broad relief program
to provide food, clothing, housing ;.
medical care, financial aid and well
fare services for unemployed this
winter.
The relief plan, when ready, must
be submitted in detail for Allied
approval. The government also was
ordered to take all necessary steps
to prevent discrimination in distri-
button of food Meanwhile, Allied
headquarters began surveys of food
consumption, nutrition and physical
health of japanese.
Reform Bill Outlined.
The election reform bill would
double the electorate, to about 45,-
100000 voters, by granting women
suffrage and reducing the balloting
age to 20 years.
Shunichi Suzuki. election expert
of the Home Ministry, explained
that the government measure pro-
vides also for drastic redistricting
and wider choice of candidates
for the House of Representatives.
The legislation does not involve
revision of the House of Peers, the
reform of which was promised ear
Ier by Premier Kijuro Shidehara.
A bill altering the present highly
restrictive selection of the upper
house is to be introduced in the
Diet after Japan's first general elec-
ton of the occupation.
Replying to Naoshi Obara. peer,
Shldehara said the revision should
be made before the Diet considers
constitutional changes. but that the
government is not yet ready to offer
a concrete plan.
Korean Rice Sought.
Obara made no mention of the
present lifetime appointment of the
arlstocracy, but advocated establish
ment of specified terms for others
named to the body in imperial ap-
polntment and broader selection
OF the &c members elected by the
countrys highest taxpayers.
The government asked Allied per-
mission to import 100000 bushels of
Korean rice. 1t previously had re-
quested 100000 bushels of food
stuffs.
kyodo news agency said the food
shortage was considered one of the
basic reasons for refusal of labor to
report at coal mines. The requested
Korean importation would permit
increased rations to 100000 colliery
homes. Kyodo said the government
proposed to create a coal board in
an attempt to increase production,
but said prospects already are
brighter with January output ex-
pected to reach 100000 tons instead
of q previously estimated 100000.
Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
reported that 38 of the So war crimi-
nal suspects ordered to surrender atl
Sugamo prison by last midnight had
checked in. Of the other 81, nine
are seriously i'll, seven are abroad
and five are i'll but are expected to
surrender in few days.
