Hodge Urges Removal
of Korea Boundary
By the Assccioted Press

SEOUL, Korea, Mar. Lit. Gen.
John r. Hodge today called for early
removal of the boundary dividing
Soviet and American occupied sec
tions of Korea, and set forth his
earnest intention" to prevent domi-
nation of the country by small
minorities"
The American military comman-
dant made his statement on the eve
of joint United States-Soviet COM
mission meeting to form a provi-
sional Korean government. He served
notice that American members Of
the commission plan to travel
throughout the divided country and
confer freely with representatives
of democratic political and social
organizations"
In his statement Of American
aims, he added that it was not con-
sidered possible to establish "genu-
inely representative democratic gov
ernment" until Korea becomes an
economic entity and all democratic
elements have a right to carry on
their campaigns in both occupation
zones
Russians now occupy Korea north
of the 38th parallel; Americans,
south of that line. Travel across the
border still is restricted by the Rus
slams, and arrangements for ex-
changes of goods and produce have
just been completed.

Return Of De Marcos
WAS Noi Official Plan,
|Curran Tesfifies

United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran today denied any official
objective was involved when an as
sault indictment resulted in Julian
R. De Marcos, 70, being returned
here from Tennessee for recommit-
ment to st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
after he went there upon being
freed from the institution through
a District Court habeas corpus pro-
ceeding.
De Marcos is now seeking his
freedom from the institution
through another habeas corpus
proceeding before Justice James w.
Morris. He went to Tennessee after
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough re-
leased him last year. But the
United States Court of Appeals re-
versed Justice Goldsborough ons
grounds that a single jurist can
not free man who is a patient in
a mental institution.
The Appellate Court ordered De
Marcos returned for recommitment.
Before he was apprehended, an in
dictment charging De Marcos with
assault with a dangerous weapon on
a fellow patient at st. Elizabeth's
was handed down. De Marcos was
brought here under the indictment,
which was subsequently nolle
pressed.
James j. Laughlin, attorney for
De Marcos, contended, when Mr..
Curran took the stand today, that
the indictment was issued merely
to afford basis for a bench war
rant under which De Marcos could
be returned for recommitment to st.
Elizabeth's, and that this was un-
lawful.
In response to Mr.. Laughlin's
questioning, Mr.. Curran said he had
nothing to do with getting the in
dictment; did not personally pre-
sent it to the grand jury; did not
interview witnesses, and at no time
saw any justice of the Court of
Appeals in connection with the case.
MIR. Curran also denied, under
continued questioning, that he COM
planned to Justice GoldSborough

laxed than I've ever seen him since
he came here"
Apparently taking little note of
his surroundings, the pianist played
on unperturbed as photographers
flashed cameras around him. His
only sign of restlessness came Just
before he went on the air, when he
fingered the keys impatiently while
waiting to start playing.
Ignores Audience.
The man, nearly 6 feet tall and
stocky, came on the stage of the
small auditorium about As minutes
before broadcast time. He walked
stiff1y, apparently in trance-like ig-
norance Of the audience.
He approached the piano, paused
for a moment, then sat down abb
ruptly and began Immediately to
play. For the next 80 minutes o,
more he played with vigor and with
dramatic intenseness.
"He doesn't realize that he is tc
broadcast" DR.. Altshuler said. "He
is just playing music"
. AS the time for the broadcast
neared, a nurse halted him. He
fidgeted impatiently during the pre-
liminaries and on four occasions the
nurse was forced to restrain him
from continuing the music.
Finally, she gave him a signal anc
he swung into the cadenza.
A woman attendant stood beside
him as always to turn the pages oi
the music and thus prevent him
from repeating the score over ano
over again.

DETROIT, Mar. 11.-"Maestro
X" Wayne County General Hos
pitals pianist who performed last
night over a national radio hookup,
today was believed little further
on the road back to mental health.
DR.. Ira Altshuler, hospital psychi-
artist, said he was encouraged" by
the rendition of the Cadenza from
Mozart's Concerto in D Minor"
given by his charge, a 45-year-old
musician, once said to have been
well-known, who was committed to
the hospital nearly 10 years ago.
Three recent events have done a
lot toward bringing Maestro x" out
of his mental illness, according to
the doctor, who describes the ma
lady as "a form of negativism."
Two weeks ago he played for a
convention of music teachers in
Detroit, receiving acclaim that even
included the word genius" Last
week he attended a concert of the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and
for time left off the low muttering
that has been constant part of his
illness, the doctor said.
Short of Genius.
The radio broadcast last night
was the third step, DR.. Altshuler
declared. His patient played for
"a minutes over the air and later
went on to entertain the 100 per-
sons gathered at the hospital with
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata"
If their verdict for the brief con-
cert fell short of the genius desig-
nation, they at least gave the mu-
sician hearty applause for excep-
tionally fine playing.
The maestro seemed as unaware
of his audience as he has on prev
ious occasions. He turned to ac-
knowledge applause without a smile
or bow and showed no sign or emo
tion or recognition even when his
70-year-old mother came up to greet
him after the performance.

Congress Pensions
Will Be Debated by
House "Wednesday
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Congress comes to grips this week
with its most embarrassing subject
pensions for its members.
House consideration of the sub
ject-which several years ago pre-
|cipitated bundles for Congress"
drive that drove the legislation back
to committee-has been set for
Wednesday.
In announcing to his colleagues
that the measure will be voted on
this week, Majority Leader McCor-
mack referred to 1t as "that very
just bill that should have been
passed long ago."
In view of the recent recommends
alton Of the Joint Committee on
Congressional Organization, House
leaders expect no trouble passing
the bill. The committee recon-
lmended, among other things, that
members of Congress make them
selves eligible for participation in
the civil service retirement fund.
Representative Vinson, Democrat,
Of Georgia, author of the bill, said
he doubted whether any one would
vote against it.
"This is fair and just legislation"
Mr.. Vinson said in a statement. "It
is not pension. It is retirement
on a contributory basis, which
means members of Congress will
have to pay into the fund, just like
other Government workers, before
they get anything back"
Before being eligible for the mini
mum payment of s418 a year, a
member of Congress would have to
serve at least five years and reach
the age Of SIS.
Payments range upward, based on
the amount contributed and the
age at retirement. A member with
IS years service and a minimum
contribution Of $2,500 could retire
at rs on a pension of S3,712 an
nually, or slightly more than one
third of the annual $4,000 con-
gressional salary.
A member defeated before he had
served five years would get a re-
fund Of what he had paid into the
fund.

said, pay increases will get auto
matte approval as soon as increase
patterns for industries or local areas
have been set.
OPA, he announced, is stream
lining its price analysis machinery
so that applications for increases
can be handed swiftly.
The Sterilization Ofiice's policy
statement reiterated that the pub
lie is going to have to pay higher
prices for some products.
This Is particularly true of metal
goods, OES said, indicating that re-
tail price increases may be author
lied for automobiles, refrigerators
and washing machines. The agency
said also that any further producer
increases for food and clothing may
have to be passed on to the public.
But it expressed belief that these
can be held to a minimum and that
while there will be 'bulge in the
price line" there will be mo break
through"
No Basic Change in Program.
The OES policy statement, de-
tailed explanation of how the wage
price formula will work in practice
set forth no basic changes in the
program laid down by President
Truman last month.
In brief, the policy remains that
wage increases generally must be
Government-approved if they are to
be used as the basis for price in
creases.
One modification provides that
under certain circumstances en-
ployers still may apply for price in
creases even though they grant an
|unapproved wage increase. Under
the policy. as set forth originally
they waived this right.
The new ruling is that If in the
case of an unapproved pay in

Strike Is Feared.
Any ne.of the three major issues
likely to be raised by Mr.. Lewis
could deadlock the wage conference
and bring about strike, Govern
ment officials fear.
The profit margin of the coal pro-
ducers is SO small, officials say, that
a wage boost of any size likely
will result in the necessity of raising
coal prices. Operators say that the
industry already is in a poor COM
petitive position with other fuels
because of price boosts made during
the war to meet Mr.. Lewis wage
gains. The mine owners will strenu-
ously oppose any further hike.

Sees Limited Number of Boosts.
The stabilization chief said he
believes I'VE are all going to be sur
prised at the limited number of
price increases" which will result
from the new wage-price formula.
He qualified this by saying it would
depend on whether Congress renews
stabilization controls.
Mr.. Bowles earlier said the new
wage-price policy was a practical
step toward a future of sustained
prosperity" He said the policy
would work, If every American de-
cides that it must.
In that statement supplementing
an explanation of the stabiliza-
ton plan, he made no direct ref
erence to critics of the formula, but
he said there must be good deal
of give and take and perhaps little
sacrifice" in carrying it out.
This will require, he added, "a
little less scrambling to get ahead of
the next fellow who may seem to
have some slight temporary advan-
tage."
Seeks to Quiet Fears.
The policy has been assailed by
leaders of both the CIO and the AFL
because it clamps restrictions on
wage increases. The National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers has con-
tended it does not allow adequate
price help.
The Bowles statement and the
policy explanation, issued. last night,
were designed to quiet these appre-
tensions.
1.-The thing we Americans need
more than anything else right now
is confidence Mr.. Bowles declared
He added that achievement of full
production and prosperity "is being
delayed by fear and doubt and blind
self interest"
The new wage-price policy, the
stabilization chief continued, "can
rid our economy of those bottlenecks
and clear the way for the greatest
flood Of goods this great Nation has
ever seen."
He promised that the Government
will slash red tape to a minimum in
handling applications for approval
of wage increases and for price
hikes.
