Air Trade Agreement

An agreement exchanging th'
five freedoms" OF air commerc,
between the United States ant
France was signed in Paris toda,
along lines similar to those worket
out between the United States ant
Great Britain in Bermuda in Feb
ruary.
The new bilateral accord opens Il
American air carriers ports OF entry
at Paris and Marseille, and ir
French provinces in Africa, ths
West Indies, Northern South Amer.
lea and French Indo- China. Eight

agreed to by the French.
In return the French will have
the right Of commercial entry tc
Washington, New York, Chicago

proval, they also will have the right

cans agreed to offer no objection

African points opened to Ameri-
cans included Algiers, Tunis and

torial Africa. Americans can use
Quadeloupe and Martinique in the
West Indies and French Guiana in
Northern South America, as well as
Saigon and Hanoi in French Indo-
China.
The agreement. like that signed
by the United States and Britain,
provides for control of rates by the

bated fifth freedom" or the right

ment in Paris, the State Department

Proper Investigation
OF State Department
Reds Is Demanded

The House Military Affairs Com
mittee today faced q challenge to
make q proper investigation of the
facts" about It's "pro-Soviet" charges
against Is State Department en-
ployes.
Col. Alfred Mccormack, chief OF
the State Departments new intelli-
gence unit. issued the challenge In
= letter to Committee Chairman
May, declaring that '"the atmosphere
IN Washington today is all too full
Of slanderous charges and discred-
liable rumors about public officials" /"
His letter. made public last night,
was in reply to one from Mr.. May
refusing Col Mccormack permis-
sion to testify before the committee,
but asserting that the committee
will pursue "the objective it has
been seeking"
Expects to Retire Soon.
Col. Mccormack said this means
that the committee will seek, with
out proper hearing" to eliminate
from the State Department "the Is
'pro-Soviet' sympathizers' whom I
am alleged to have brought into the
department from military intelli-
gence, as well as myself"
He said he was not concerned
about his own position, since he had
entered the department with the
attention OF returning to private
life as soon as the intelligence unit
was organized land I expect to be
taking that step before long"
He vigorously defended the rec
ords of his associates, however,
charging that the committee has
''impugned their characters by cir
culating charges made by rumor-
nongers and malcontents, whose
grievances have no better basis than
their own incompetence"
Stresses Public Duty.
1T is your public duty" he as
serted, "as. well as an obligation of
honor, either to withdraw the
Charges or to make proper investi-
cation of the facts"
Col. Mccormack said he had taken
into the State Department from
military intelligence total of 20
persons, almost all of whom trace
their American ancestry back at
least three generations" All of them
had outstanding records in the
Army, he said, winning altogether
seven Legions of Merit, three Bronze
Stars, 10 battle stars. four War De-
partment citations and numerous
concentrations, in addition to Brit
ish, French and Belgian decorations.

Board hearings were concluded yes

ton was summed up in the closing
paragraphs of letter from Secre-
tary Anderson, which read:
1T is the view of the department
that this whole question of the rela
tive treatment of Cuba and the
Philippines in respect to sugar could
and should be dealt with in legisla
ton providing for the control OF
sugar imports through quotas and
through international sugar agree
ments rather than duties. Such a
course would both protect the in
terests Of domestic producers and in
sure fair and equal treatment in
respect to sugar imported from the
Philippines and Cuba, regardless of
the level of duties.
Recognizes Need for Relief. o
However. the department rec
ognizes that Philippine relief and
rehabilitation is urgent and that
policy concerning the islands has
been determined. 1t therefore calls
these matters to the attention of
the committee but interposes no
objection to the favorable consid-
Grafton of the bill"
The committee rejected the sug-
gestion that the Philippine sugar
allotment be left for general de-
termination later on Presumably
the committee acted on the theory
that Congress is here dealing with
comprehensive economic program
to enable the Philippines to recover
=, from the ravages of a war which
hit the islands with full force, just
as they were preparing for inde-
pendence.

II the United States insists upon
large dollar payments Immediately
for lease-lend and surplus property
settlements, it will seriously impair
the market for private American
exports, the Commerce Department
warned today.
Such payments would strip
foreign countries Of the supply of
dollars which they must have to
buy American commodities, said a
study prepared for the department IS
March survey of current business.
Indications are that the United
States will have added $1,000, ,000, 900
to $4,000, ,o00, 900 more to its foreign
credits by the end of 1947, it was
estimated.
This extension of credit would
come from participation In the

civilian supplies abroad through the
military services, and credits to

sible, only six remain at Freedmen's S
now and all are i'll.
Watson B. Miller. Federal secur-

emphasized the need for an entirely
new hospital.
we have been working with the
Bureau of the Budget closely for
the past three years and have the
understanding that it will approve
funds for new hospital after the

Mr.. Miller said he hoped to ask
Congress for hospital that would
cost q or 3 million dollars" and
would be the best of its kind in
the world"
Tomorrow afternoon Mr.. Miller
