Government military forces now

Kowpangtze and nine other Man.
churian towns.
Observers said Gen. Marshall's
services on the Military Committee
likely would have the same good
EFFECT on that group as his presence
did on the truce board, although
they realized that reorganization of
the Army was likely to present
even more formidable and complex
difficulties.
The reorganization committee
met once before Gen. Marshall &C
cepted the advisership. Members
are Gen. Chang Chun and Gen.
Chang Chih-chung. representing
the government, and Gen. Chou
En-lai, Communist.
Information Awaited.
Discussing censorship, WI said
he still is awaiting requested infor-
nation from Gen. Tu Yu-ming,
commander of government forces
| in Manchuria, on the reasons for
the discriminatory ban against
American correspondents entering
Manchuria at any point until all
Russian troops have been with
drawn.
Liu Chieh, vice minister of for
eign affairs, said transportation
difficulties might delay for a few
days the Russian withdrawal from
Manchuria and Jehol, now sched-
uled for completion by February l..
AS delay of only few days Is in
volved, there is no necessity for
formal agreement on this score, he

has received the unanimous backing
of the Senate Commerce Committee
in his request for three additional
SIC, 000-a-year assistant secretaries.
Chairman Bailey said last night
the committee would ask the SEN

partment Of Commerce at the top"
Il think Mr.. Wallace Is going for

intelligent and forward way" Sen

sistant Secretary for Air. Secre-
tary Wallace told Senators the
three proposed new assistants would
be assigned respectively to interna-
tional trade, domestic trade and
small business problems.
Senator Bailey, a leader among
the so-called conservative Southern

at Secretary Wallace's request to
expand business services and aids
Of the Commerce Department.
I'VE like Mr.. Wallace's plans
fine" Senator Bailey told a reporter
today. HE is putting the Com
merce Department aggressively
ahead for both domestic and inter-
national trade of the United States.
He plans a reorganization of
the Commerce Department at the
top" Chairman Bailey said. 1--WE
all want to help him. We're going
to help small business and at the
same time help all business"
Some OF the Senators who before
confirming Mr.. Wallace to his Sec
ond cabinet post last year stripped
away the broad loan authority held
by former Secretary Jesse Jones
now say privately they are favorably
impressed by his new business-aid
plans.
Senator Bailey said the commit
tee also would approve a bill by
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, OF
Arkansas to set up a new "ofice
OF technical services" under Mr.
Wallace. This would make research
technical advances. and patents
available to all business-big, me-
dunn and small-on a share alike

didate for president of the Con-
stituent Assembly today, few
hours before the Assembly met
to name a new interim President
|of France probably Socialist

The Socialists and Communists,
controlling substantial majority
of the Assembly votes, already have
indicated their approval of Mr..
Gouin, president of the legislative
body, as a candidate to succeed Gen.
Charles de Gaulle, who resigned as
interim President Sunday.
Awaiting Formal Accord.
The MRP popular Republican
Movement) was awaiting a formal
accord on q program before an
nouncing its support Of Mr.. Gouin's
candidacy, but MRP leaders said
privately there was no question but
that the party would support Gouin
and participate in a three-party
coalition.
The three parties met this morn
ing to seek an agreement.
1t was learned last night that Gen
de Gaulle may go to Canada next
week for a vacation OF indefinite
length.
Mr.. Gouin, bespectacled lawyer,
attained prominence by organizing
the French Consultative Assembly
at Algiers after the Allies landed
In North Africa.
AS the organizer, he occupies an
unusual position in French politics
He has been described by the Com
munists as appearing above par
ties" although he has belonged to
the Socialist party since 1904 and
has been a Socialist deputy since
1924.
He is 81 and a native Of Peynier

to the bar in 1917. He was one OF
the lawyers for Leon Blum, former
Premier and head of the Socialist
party, in the Rion trial in 1912.

ForrestaI Proposes
Sweeping Changes in
Atomic Control Bill
By the Associated Press.

os Inc Associated Fress.
Secretary of the Navy Forces
tall today recommended sweep
ing basic changes In the domes-
tic atomic energy control bill
proposed by Senator Mcmahon,
Democrat, OF Connecticut.
Testifying before the special Sem
ate Atomic Energy Committee of
which Senator Mcmahon is chair
man, the Secretary said the Navy
Department "concurs In the overall
purpose of the BILL" but finds 1t
unsatisfactory" in several features.
Instead Of the five-member, full
time control commission proposed
by Senator Mcmahon, Secretary
Forrestal advocated an eight-mem-
Der body headed by the Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States. Other
ex-onco members would include
the Secretaries of State, War and
Navy. In addition, he said, there
should be four full-time members
appointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate.
Mr.. Forrestal declared that if
members served at the pleasure of
Inc President, as under Senator
McMahon's plan, they could not
retain the necessary independence. :"
He predicted that outstanding
scientists would refuse to serve un-
der such conditions.
You serve under such q condi-
ton, don't you?" Senator Mcmahon
commented dryly.
No Executive Officer.
Other faults Secretary Forrestal
found with the proposal included:
/. The bill does not provide for
an executive officer or administra-
tor.
2. No mandatory liaison is pro-
vided between the commission and
the State, War and Navy Depart
ments, and the commission would
have no specific responsibility for
the national defense. "At the same
time it is the sole development
agency Of the atomic weapon" he
said. Authority and responsibility
must go hand in hand"
8. Fashionable materials would be
required to be distributed to anv
applicant Who is equipped and OBJ
serves safety standards, regardless
OF the national interest, Mr.. For
restai commended.
Recommendations Offered.
On the positive side, he made this
recommendation:
FOR the period 1916 to 1850, un-
less the use Of atomic weapons is
abolished by international agree
ment, military applications should
be a joint responsibility of the COM
mission and the War and Navy De-
partments. During this period the
commission and the joint chiefs of
STAN should determine the broad
lines along which atomic weapon
development Is to proceed. . -
In 1850 this program should be
re.examined in the light of inter-
national agreements and current
strategic and technical require
ments."
The four appointive members of
the commission under the Forrestal
plan would serve six-year terms, and
would be subject to removal only by
impeachment. They would be ell
gible for reappointment and their
salaries would correspond to that
OF justices Of the Supreme Court,
$4,000 a year.
