The document signed in Tokyo
Bay in 1915, the department said,
was not . treaty but IN armistics.
To avoid lsEalistic haggling over
this point, i6 months ago the Unit
Cd states proposed-and Panama
agrsed-to negotiate for . new

down almost oil it, other bases In
Panama.
Ths Panamanian government
eventually accepted United States

principal nssotiator, resigned In
protest. The accord was initiated
by Ambassador Hines for the United

on Panama's sovereignty.
In his statement today Mr.. Ihgel
said that II Panama continues Its
present attitude 1T leaves Us no
alternative but to look to . new

Of the present site"
He added:
1--WE certainly are not going to
spend hundreds OF millions Of dol
lars in developing the present canal
or for q Sea level canal at the pres

bases to defend the canal In times
of war.
II shall recommend to the Appro-
priations Committee the withhold

the present canal site. Until such
time as We obtain rights to defend
the canal and I shall recommend
the appropriation Of money to check
ali former surveys Of other canal
sites and to make surveys for new
canal outside Panama"
There have been proposals in the
past that the United States con-
struct q canal through Nicaraguan
territory.
Mr.. Engel said proposals for .

II can promise that this is not
going to be q witch hunt or q So

Mr.. Andersen said 4 week or 10

He added that one Of the COM

prior to January 20, 1s47.
1T was on that date that the
Government announced 1t had pur-
chased about 2o.ooo, 900 bushels Of
wheat" Mr.. Andersen said. THE
price then was around t2oe .

and wheat eventually went over

II want to scrutinize the names
Of those-primarily those who might
have knowledge Of Government pro-
grams-who entered the market Just
before that date. I want to know
If inside information was profitable
to some people"
Mr.. Andersen said he also would
check to see who was in the market
just prior to September 10, l947,
when he said the Government be-
gan buying some 100000 bushels
of wheat.

Hans Eisler, Hollywood song

Fisler is further charged with
having gained admission to this
country through perjury and pass

Here is the astounding part OF
this incident. While Eisler was try

the immigration officials urging his
