Soong Is Flying Here
For Conference With
Truman and Byrnes
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD,

A prompt attack on Far Eastern
political problems so far as they ef-
feet China and the United States
was indicated today when it was
learned that Premier Soong of
China is en- route here for discus
sions with President Truman and
Secretary Of State Byrnes.
The Chinese leader, second in i'm
portance only to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, left London for
Washington yesterday in an Army
Transport Command plane. He is
expected to arrive here before night
fall
State Department officials said
they had not advised of the exact
time of Mr.. Soongs arrival, but that
he would be met at the Washington
National Airport by Mr.. Byrnes and
other officials. The Chinese Ambas-
sador, DR.. Wei Tao-ming. also ex-
poets to greet his chief.
Has Been In Moscow.
Premier Soong comes to WASH
ington fresh from extended conver-
sations in Moscow with Premier
Stain and Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotof1, at the conclusion of which
they signed a treaty Of friendship
and six subsidiary agreements which,
according to reports, solved the
points which have been at issue
between them in the Far East.
OfficialS here are particularly in
terested in any arrangements that
Premier Soong and Premier Stain
may have concluded effecting the
future of Manchuria. As party
to the Cairo declaration which
promised the return to China Of
all territory taken from her by
the Japanese. the United States
appears committed to support
China's claim to full sovereignty
over this area, which was occupied
by the japanese in 1892.
At the same time, there have
been indications that Russia has
claims to advance in Manchuria
probably not for sovereignty but
special rights in connection with the
Chinese Eastern Railroad, which
runs from the Lake Baikal area of
the U. S. S. r. diagonally across
aMnchuria to Vladivostok, the Soviet
Unions most important Pacific port.
May Spare U. S. Embarrassment.
If China and Russia have come to
an agreement between themselves
as to the future Of these areas, it
will relieve the United States from
the possible embarrassment of TAX
ing sides in any controversy between
the two states.
While no agenda has been an
nounced for Premier Soong's talks
with the White House and State
Department, following are some OF
the problems they likely will discuss: ::
l. Chinese participation in the
military occupation of Japan.
2. Distribution of Japanese ter
ritory in the Far East.
3. American financial and eco
nomic aid in the restoration of war
torn China.
4. Future trade relations between
the United States and China and
possibly the expansion Of American
commercial air lines in Chinese
territory.

Inquiry Sought
On Campaigning
OF Texas Senator

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (UP) -
The department of justice has been
asked by a committee OF congress
to find out whether Senator w.
Lee "Pappy' ODaniel CD, Texas,
violated the Hatch corrupt practices
act in his anti-Roosevelt activities
during the recent election.
ODaniel, who strongly opposed
Mr.. Roosevelt'S reelection, took
part in radio programs heard in
A. states and made numerous
speeches criticizing the administra-
ton.
What the senate campaign ex-
penditures committee wants to know
specifically is, what part if any did
ODaniel play in the campaign act
ivities of the Common Citizens
Radio Committee and the w. Lee
ODaniel News company. Both groups
fought the Presidents reelection.
The Hatch act prohibits any per-
son, partnership, corporation, ETC.,
from contributing more than $1,000
in connection with any campaign for
nomination or election to federal
office.
Records of the senate committee
show that the radio committee had
100000 in a special account, of
which $4,000 was turned over to
the O'Daniel Ney<> company in May,
1914. Records also show that the
News, managed by Mrs. O'Daniel
took in about 100000 in subscrip-
tiOnS.

SENATE HAS DUTY IN
SITTING OF APPOINTEES

There may be reason in the custom of
the senate always placing its approval
on presidents choice for cabinet places.
This custom, however, stems back to the
days when the cabinet in fact was a sort
of official family gathered about the
chief executive for what help the mem
bers might render. And this view still
holds to large degree.
However, congress, especially since the
advent of the new deal administration,
has been loading up cabinet positions
with many duties far outside the original
intent as to the official family. In an
abject surrender to the executive branch,
congress has delegated affairs to the
President, who in turn has given them
to cabinet members. Today some cabinet
posts actually hold more unrestricted
power than congress itself.
But when it comes to senate approval
of appointees with the handling of the
nations business at stake, most assured
ly the senate should not consider itself
bound to give blanket approval merely
because appointments have been made
by the chief executive.
A case current in senate hearings at
the moment is Aubrey Williams who has
been named to head the rural electrifica-
ton. Williams only claim for fitness is
that he is new deal supporter He has
no business experience and little bust
ness ability. His selection almost is 100
per cent political. A grave blunder will
be made if the senate permits this ap-
pointment to hold. Williams, like Harry
Hopkins has made his best strides at
giving awav other peoples money, and
most of this experience has been with
taxpayers money. 1t certainly is no mark
distinction to do that In these roles Will
liams and Hopkins has thousands of COM
petitors.
AS to cabinet members with powers
never intended for them, the case of
Secretary of Commerce is proof enough
of the laxity of congress in delegating
powers But at last congress has been
reminded of its own indiscretions. Not all
selectees for such posts are as able and
efficient as Jesse Jones. In fact no mat
ter how efficient, no one person in politi-
cal power should be invested with the
unlimited authority of lending taxpay-
ers' money up to 40 billions without ad-
vice or hindrance.
The Wallace circumstance has had that
one good turn-to pull congress up bit
and to stir it to doing better job of be-
ing more alert in doing the business ex-
pected of it by the people instead of
turning it over to any other governmental
agency.

Japan Hints Move
To Negotiate
Over Internees

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. tUP) -
Japan's stubborn refusal to play
ball on questions involving prisoners
of war and civilian internees APP
peared to be giving way as a re-
suit of American successes in the
Pacific.
Contrary to her earlier refusal to
negotiate regarding such matters,
Japan has now taken the initiative
in a move to arrange Red Cross
visits to certain American prison
and internment camps in return
for similar inspections CT three en-
emy camps holding U. S. civilians
and fighting men.
In announcing the japanese Of
fer, the state department criticized
Japan'S arbitrary and sporadic
approach to prisoner and internee
matters. 1t limited this country
henceforth would stiffen its atti-
tude toward authorizing Red Cross
officials and other neutral repre-
sentatives to inspect camps holding
japanese war prisoners and civilian
interneeS.
The Japanese offered to allow
Red Cross inspections of three
camps holding Americans-if this
country permits similar visits at
U. S. camps at Tinian, Saipan, New
Caledonia and Guam.
The camps involved in the Japan
ese offer were the Santo Tomas
camp in Manila - liberated by Gen.
Douglas Macarthur - a war pris-
oner camp at Singapore and a
prisoners hospital in Thailand.
There are no known American
prisoners at Singapore. The Thai
land offer authorizes visits to none
of the nearby prisoner of war
camps.
There have been other indications
of a change in japanese prisoner
internee policy. Japan recently
took the initiative in opening nego-
tiations for new exchange Of ma
tionals after the state department
had all but given up hope. The
last exchange was late in l943.

WOMEN BEGIN EXODUS
FROM INDUSTRY PLANTS

While there still are more than 100000
women employed in California industrial
plants, for the most part engaged in war
output, there has been a steady drop In
the number for several months. At the
end of 1914 there were 214,900 employed
as against 253,600 at the end OF 1943.
Through December last year $500 relin-
quished their jobs and that ratio held
through January of this year.
Although complete reports from the
country at large are not available, sim
liar proportion to California apparently
is holding out.
This gradual moving out of industrial
work of the nations women is sign of
the readjustment that must take place
as war output demands decrease and the
country approaches what is termed nor.
NAL conditions. That large number OF
women will elect to remain in jobs hither-
to held as mems work, that number, ac-
cording to surveys will be considerably
smaller than economists had considered
q year or more ago.
War emergencies have developed many
women skilled workers in various trades
and occupations which had not been mar
ifest in pre-war times. Many will stay on
