 Trouble, Shanghai

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26 The State Department announced today 1t has rejected Russian complaints that two Soviet citizens were att tackled by American Military Police in Shanghai on Sept %.
 The Department blamed the two Russians for the fighting which oc- cured after an automobile acci- dent. The Russians had asked compensation for injuries received in the clash.
 The incident first drew a com plaint from local Soviet authorities in Shanghai on Dec. l9, the pro test was taken to the State Depart nent by the Russian Embassy here
 Coincident with the Departments statement, the Departments Press Officer Lincoln White, expressed the opinion that there was no ulti- matum involved in warning by Soviet officials at Dairen, Man. churia last week to American Naval efiicers to get their ship out of port after it's authorized 48-houl stay had expired.
 This appeared virtually to close the Dairen incident as far as tn. State Department is concerned White said that tbe warning was given by a Soviet .iicial in charge of the dock rather than by Soviet Military Commanders and th .s il was, in his opinion, mot in any sense an ultimatum."
 White previously had stated that the Russian officials were vithir their legal rights in requesting the ship to leave.
 He explained today that clari- iication of an earlier official report on the incident showed that after the naval vessel had approached the expiration of the 48-hour per iod, the Soviet official in charge of the dock granted a two-hour ex- tension.
 As the end of the extension per iod neared, White said, the Soviet official reminded Americans ir charge of the ship that they would have to leave in 20 minutes His warning that he couldn't be respon- sible for consequences if they stay ed beyond the deadline was inter preted at the State Departmnt as meaning that he simply didn't know what would happen since he evi- dently had granted the extension completely on his own authority and was uncertain what the re- action of his superiors might be.

 Attack Opposition

PARIS, Dec. 26-Colonial Min ister Marius Moutet today began an -the-spot investigation of the situation in Indochina as French troops slowly famed out through the northern states of Annam and Tonkin against stubborn opposi- tion by Viet-Nam Nationalists.
 Dispatches from Saigon in the Southern state of Cochinchina re- ported Moutets arrival there yes- terday on a special fact-finding mission. He was greeted by Ad- miral George Thierry D'Argenlieu, French High Commissioner for h. dcchina who had arrived from Paris earlier in the week.
 Moutet also was greeted at the airport by delegates claiming to represent the majority of the An namite population as well as many French, who presented him with a petition asking replacement of D. Argenlleu and most O1 ms regime. The delegates maintained that dis satisfaction with D'Argenlieu was largely responsible for the trouble in the north.
 Saigon it said was fairly quiet during the night, the French Press Agency reported. Hand grenades were said to have been thrown into a French barracks and at French military truck, but without causing any casualties. A policeman was killed and another seriously wound ed in another incident, the Agency said. Saigon was under 10 pm to am curfew.

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-I won't be an nounced for awhile, but Attorney General Tom Clark is matching 8 unique plan for selling civil liber- ties to the American people. He will send a special train through the 48 states carrying some of the priceless treasures of American freedom.
 It was Clark, working quietly be- hind the scenes who had more than anyone else to do with or ganizing the Presidents specia Committee on Civil Liberties which will study southern lynchings anc race problems. Clark, who comes from Texas, has been prompt te invoke Federal law in South Carol ina-Louisiana race disputes, but be- lieves that more can be done by education.
 Accordingly he has evolved the idea of sending special train ac- JUDD tIlC OliltCd AOaSSo the most sacred documents oi American history which guarantees our freedom
 At first Clark proposed equip ping two special cars with show cases which would display the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of 1nde- pendence, the Emancipation Proc lamation, the Constitution and sc on.
 However, he found that the Proc lamation of Emancipation by which Lincoln freed the slaves was in the hands of Abraham Rosenbach oi Philadelphia, famous collector oi old manuscripts. Clark therefore called Rosenbach to tell him about his plan and ask for the loan o. the Proclamation.
