Korea Agreement
Rejected by Reds
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Mar. 9.-The Russian
commander in Korea has disap-
proved a Soviet american agreement
reached recently in Seoul aimed at
breaking down the barriers for
Koreans between the Soviet and
American controlled zones of that
divided country.
This was noted in an official an
nouncement, received today, in
which 1t. Gen. John r. Hodge
whose American forces control
Southern Korea, reported on the
Soviet meeting held at
Seoul from January l6 to Febru-
ary S.
The announcement said the con-
ferees had agreed that Koreans
could move back and forth across
the 38th parallel between the Amer
lean zone and the Russian-occupied
north If the trip was necessary
because of personal or family needs.
The same privilege was to be ac-
corded Koreans engaging in trading
or commercial activities along with
their trade goods.
Although the joint conference
agreed to these two items" the
announcement said, they were dis
approved by the Soviet commander
for North Korea (Col. Gen. I. M.
Chistiakov) and will, therefore, not
be put into effect. The United
States representatives had hoped
that establishment of inter-zone
commerce by the Koreans would be
a step toward removal of the barrier
of the 38th parallel, but Soviet dis
approval postpones this progress.

Broadcasters Charqe
Fec Attempt 10 Seize
Control Of Programs

A charge that the Federal Com
munications Commission is seeking
to impose artificial and arbitrary
controls over what the people of this
country shall hear" has been made
by Justin Miller, president of the
National Association of Broadcasters
Mr.. Miller made the assertion yes
terday in a statement attacking the
FEC report on radio programming
made public Thursday.
The NAB head said the FEC study
Iof programs and recommendations
for improving standards showed "a
lack of faith in the American system
Iof free radio" and reflected "a
philosophy of government control
which raises grave questions of con-
stitutionality"
Free Speech Ignored"
The statement continued, in part:
THE report overlooks, completely
freedom Of speech in radio broad
casting, which was a primary con-
sideration in the minds of Con-
gress when it passed the Communi-
cations Act. I" y
1T indicates a reversion to that
type of governmental control and
regulation from which our fore
fathers struggled TO escape. In this
instance, just as with the issue of
freedom of the press, there can be
no compromise.
High lighting a few examples
OF inadequate programming, the re-
port then proceeds to indict the
entire radio broadcasting industry.
Relying on its own administrative
practices, it now asserts powers far
beyond those given to it by Con-
gress and inconsistent with the
constitutional limitations under
which Congress acted ="
Standards Improved.
Mr.. Miller contended broad
casters were conscious of short
comings but had improved stand
ards in 25 years to a greater extent
than any other industrial or pro-
fessional group.
: The FEC report indicated the
agency would scrutinize station pro-
gramming more closely than in the
past before issuing renewal licenses
and listed changes in regulations
intended to give the FEC more de-
tailed information on the balance
between commercial and sustain
ing programs and the amount of
time consumed in advertising.

tention to programs on the part of
the press and Endorsed organized

DE Marcos Hearinq
To Resume Monday

The habeas corpus proceeding In
which Julian d. De Marcos, 79,
seeks his freedom from st. Eliza
beth's Hospital is scheduled to be
resumed Monday in District Court
before Justice James w. Morris.
DR.. Albert Marland of the Com
mission on Mental Health. yesterday
told the court he believed De Mar
cos was suffering from paranoia, al
though he said the man has a good
memory and splendid intellect.
The physician based his conclu-
sions, he said, on the belief De Mar
cos has delusions as to his treat
ment in Canada. De Marcos, the
physician said, believes he was per-
secuted there. Under ss-exam-
ination, however, DR.. Marland ad-
mitted that if De Marcos beliefs
are correct regarding the treatment
received that it would mean the
man is not of unsound mind. De
Marcos was convicted of man.
slaughter in Canada in 1884 and
later found to be of unsound mind.
De Marcos attorney, James J.
Laughlin, said late yesterday that if
the court will permit he will call to
the stand on Monday United States
Attorney Edward M. Curran to
testify regarding a charge of as
sault with a dangerous weapon
placed against De Marcos which was
nolle pressed. Mr.. Laughlin MAIN
tains the charge was placed merely
to bring his client back here from
Tennessee after the man had been
freed in habeas corpus proceeding
in December. 1914.
The assault charge, which was
dropped, accused De Marcos of as
saulting an inmate of st. Elizabeth's
Hospital with a pencil. The Court
of Appeals earlier had reversed the
District Court ruling in the habeas
corpus proceeding in which De Mar
cos was freed in 1914.
The Government is represented in
the present habeas corpus proceed
ing by Assistant United States At
torney John p. Burke.

ance of the pugnacious Prime Min.
lister must have echoed in the
minds of many Englishmen wher
they read the reports of Churchill's
speech, made as private citizer
at Fulton, Mo. For there was much
IN what he said at Fulton that
could have sounded. to his owr
people. very like a plan for the en-
pire's liquidation.
He proposed to the United States
continuance of the intimate re-
lationships between our military
advisers similarity of weapons
and manuals of instruction and
interchange of officers and cadets
at colleges joint use. of all
naval and air force bases in the
possession of either country all over

Eventually there may come the

ship q"
Dubious Business.
Comment in the British press on
this forecast has thus far been ex-
tremely guarded, but some English
citizens could hardly have escaped
saying to themselves, "Whoops f.!
There goes the old empire"
These would be Englishmen who
take a realistic view of the present
state of affairs and recognize that
the United States has become
vastly stronger than Great Britain.
To them the Churchill proposal
might have seemed like the fly in
viting itself into the spiders parlor.
Either that or-pleasanter thought
the British camel getting its nose
under the American tent. In any
case, dubious business.
AS for the American reaction, it
cannot be called enthusiastic on
the whole. Whether acceptance of
the Churchill plan resulted in our
absorbing the British Empire, be-
ing absorbed by the British Empire
or merely the merger of our two
systems on even terms, the idea
Is not too attractive
In the first place, we have about
all the troubles we can handle,
both at home and abroad. There
doesn't appear to be much nourish-
ment in any other country's trou-
bles, certainly not in the aggregate
under which the British Empire is
now staggering. We are prepared
to help the British, even to the
extent probably of extending a few
billion dollars of credit. We recog-
nize that having Britain back on it's
feet is desirable from every point
OF view.
Entangling Alliance.
But that is not the same as iden-
tifying ourselves completely with
the interests of the empire. It is
not the same as becoming full
partner and standing with Britain
against the world. Gradually we
have come to believe that we can
be part of and should be part of a
world organization, in which no two
or three or four nations are arrayed
against the others. We have been
trying to work toward the end of
all entangling alliances.
For it is an entangling alliance
that Churchill offers, an alliance
against Russia. If he had not said
SO in plain words, that fact would
still have been perfectly clear.
Well, Russia is causing us plenty
OF concern; has become one of our
delicate and dangerous problems.
We are seeking to handle the prob
lem with all the wisdom we possess.
We want to reduce, not expand it.
We don't want war. Yet no surer
way of bringing ourselves-and the
