tive Army and Navy witnesse!
and to look over official records
Republican protests may ex'
plode in the Senate and House
unless some compromise il
reached.
They are keeping silent now
in the hope they may force ap-
prevail of procedure similar to
that of the Senate War Investi-
eating committee.
When Mr.. Truman headed
that committee as a Senator,
each member was free TO poke
into any government records h
wanted to see.
He could talk to anybody who
might have information on the
was program.
ORDER NOT SIGNED
Then he could report to other
members and if they decided an
investigation was warranted, IT
was so ordered.
Senators said this system pro-
duced many worthwhile leads.
1t has continued under the chair
manship of Senator Mead 3D.
N.Y..
Republicans helped draft an
order they hoped would permit
its use by the Pearl Harbor COM
mittee.
But when William D. Mitch
ell, counsel for the Pearl Harbor
group, took the order to the
White House Mr.. Truman didn't
sign it.
Now the Republicans say the
Democrats, with a six to four
majority, will be able to dictate
not only which witnesses shall
be called but what records are
opened.
Democrats retort that the
whole committee, not any indi-
vidual, has the responsibility for
the investigation and should de-
eide its course.
The House heard charges yes
itary secrets might prevent a
full investigation of the Pearl
Harbor attack. It delayed action
on the measure, previously vot-
ed by the Senate.

UNCI0 Enyoys
Eye Regime
For Austrians
By RALPH HEINZEN

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. CUP)-
European delegations at the United
Nations conference look with inter-
est at the new austrian provisional
government set up in RusSian-oc-
cupied Vienna.
Many gave it their endorsement,
seeing in it a promise of political
stability for central groups.
Most European foreign ministers
gathered here were familiar with
DR.. Karl Renner, head of the pro-
visional government, and described
him as an influential figure among
Austrian workers.
They saw strange parallel be-
tween the situation in Austria to-
day and after the last war. In both
instances, it was Renner who en-
erged to head provisional regime.
His 1918 government was predom-
inantly social with no
Communists. The present coalition
includes two Communists; otherwise
It is Overwhelmingly Christian So
cialist and Social-Democrat 1t has
not been recognized by the Allies.
Renner'S Social-Democrat party
was compared here with the British
Labor party in its moderate ten
dencieS. In pre-war Austria, he had
sought the coalition of his party
with the Christian Socialists or
Catholic party Of Monsignor Seipel,
Dollfus and Schussnigg.
European quarters here said the
makeup of the Renner coalition
would place Austria in the middle
Of the road politically. While it
does contain a Communist minority.
1t has no pro-FaSciStS.
If the Renner regime is recogniz-
&c. by the Allies, diplomats here be-
heve it could go through to the
promised elections late this year or
early next without more than minor
changes.

Spaniards Try
To Crack Open
Jap Envoy Safe

WASHINGTON, May 2. CUP)-
The confusing case of an attempted
safe-cracking job at the japanese
embassy by attaches of the Span
ish embassy left Washington offic-
ialdom bewildered.
Open admission by the Spaniards
OF entrance into the enemy embassy
was met by a confusion of state
ments by state and justice depart
ment officials and District Of Col
umbia police who investigated the
potential international incident. =
The State Department let it be
known, however, that it would not
make an incident" of the mystery,
feeling that the Spaniards, in being
asked to leave the Japanese en-
baSSy before the safe was opened.
had been reprimanded enough.
Out of the welter of confusion,
this fact emerged:
Don Carlos de Goyeneche, second
secretary Of the Spanish embassy,
and T. Alberto Mateos, vice consul,
accompanied by a professional safe
expert, on April 1.-two days after
Spain severed diplomatic relations
with Japan-illegally entered the
japanese embassy in Washington
where they were caught by police in
the act of drilling open safe.
Prior to March ~, the Spanish
embassy, as a neutral agent, handl-
ed japanese affairs here and acted
as custodian of the palatial embassy

WHAT SHALL WE DO
WITH SURPLUS SALES CASH

The President has completed the per
sonnel of the committee, or bureau Whlch
will oversee sale of surplus war pro-
perties 1t is to be presumed he has
named competent, experienced and hon.
est men for this most vital and gigantic
task There is, as must be expected,
tame duck" or so on the committee.
It is pretty hard for veteran job holder
as senator or representative to be sep
arated from the payroll, and it often
happens that some new committee is the
escape route for the lame duck brigade.
But until otherwise proved, lets go
on the premises that it is good COM
mittee, and consider the job itself. To
a large degree the Barucn plan as worked
out and announced some time ago, has
been taken as a pattern or guide, If not
in toto. That sounds like good start.
1t is calculated to do several things much
better than the plan of 1918 offered or
produced. 1t calls for placing the sur
plus property where it will do the most
good regardless of pressure politics or
pulls"
1t further is aimed to prevent flood
ing the market to the detriment or des-
truction of industrial reconversion. And
it will, if followed guarantee against
speculation, gambling and the making OF
fortunes for chislers. No committee
dare to permit any of these phases to fall
or be ignored.
But what of the disposition Of the
revenue-the cash? The Baruch plan
specifically would apply all against the
smothering, gigantic public debt.
Fair estimates place the funds to be de-
rived from the sales up to O,OOO,O 900
Not so staggering a sum when stacked
up against the vast amounts coincldent
with the war. But sum not to be con-
sidered as chicken feed by any means
There will be, and already is, plenty
of hands reaching out for this ready
cash when it begins flowing into the
treasury. Plenty of spenders fairly
water at the mouth to use it for cur
rent purposes, even to finance new bu-
reaus and new dreams
1t is to be hoped the committee will be
instructed to impound the cash for one
purpose, and one only-payment on our
debt.
But this rests on the whims of the
chief executive and congress. Fortunate
ly there is large bloc in congress that
will not stand for any more of Morgen-
thau's LOUIS like he is issuing for the
Social Security funds as they are paid in.
Let's get started in every way possi-
BILE to pay the debt.

SPEEDY VICTORY WOULD
AID PEACE PROBLEM

Admittedly there are growing breaches
and misunderstanding among the Allied
powers on postwar programs. Now, are
these ill signs only matter of differ
ences on detail? Principles and funda-
mentals are becoming involved How
ever, it is more the lack of firm grounds
to start upon, rather than actual mis-
understandings, and this lends to the be-
lief that no insurmountable difficulties
will appear.
However, now it is evident that the
longer the war is prolonged the more ag-
gravating these barriers to understand
ings will become, and less safe grounds
found for a sound program. Not until
the liberated countries entered the PIC
ture was the full import OF clashing
views manifest.
AS ever there is the matter OF terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGMENT, returning of full
sovereignty or giving it up, the literal
translation of the almost moribund At

BE ON GUARD, AMERICA!

(Christian Science Monitor)
If anyone still thinks, after what has
happened in Belgium, that the war with
Germany is about over, the landing and
capture of two Nazi spies on the East
Coast, and the possible landing of others
in Japanese balloons in the West, should
d;sillusion him. The fact that trained
enemy saboteurs are still entering the
United States not only proves that Ger
many is fighting with every ounce Of her
strength, but that active collaborators
are at large in American territory. The
FBI has done good job.
1t is important, warns FB1 Director
Hoover, to report Immediately suspicious
activities of any character. 1t is import
ant, as WE'LL to keep a close mouth on
matters the enemy shouldn't know about.
Submarines still are operating in the At
lantic; the two captured spies were land
ed in Maine by U-boat. Ships can still be
sunk and troop trains wrecked. But each
citizen can help to thwart the enemy.
