japanese Arrogance
Creeps Back, People
Now Demand Rights
Rx The A.,nciniad Press

TOKYO, June 28.-Gen. MacAr-
thurs expressed opinion that super
vision of Japan should last a gen.
Grafton came when many Japanese
by subtle hints were beginning to
indicate their belief that foreign
control was about ended.
japanese generally were not yet
acquainted with Gen. Macarthur s
remarks to visiting American editors
here yesterday. Newspaper stories
were held up temporarily to clear
American censorship.
Gen. Macrthur's previous proposal
for an early peace, followed by with
drawal of military forces, has led
to a slow and somewhat limited re-
turn of japanese arrogance. This
is noted particularly among bureau
Gratis and some businessmen who ex-
pect to capitalize on the reopening
of foreign trade.
Insisting on Rights"
The attitude of these people has
stlffened sufficiently to indicate they
are beginning to feel there is no
longer any need to be as subservient
to the occupation as before.
This attitude is denoted by an in
creasing insistence on rights"
greater assurance that Japan will
be granted foreign loans and an
evidently growing impatience with
continuing the cost of the occupa-
tion.
"You can see now that we are
demoncratized," they say. rs the
occupation really necessary"
The attitude might have been re-
fiected in the recent Government
trial balloons for the return OF
OkinaWa and some of the Kuriles.
Gen. Macarthur had not dis
cussed the subject publicly before.
But to the American editors he gave
what appeared to be a definite
answer by stating that territorial
questions already had been settled
and by implying the belief that the
United States should retain Oki-
JldNd. E1S QCGS1 lDCl tiIC AobCSA az
the cornerstone of American de-
fense in the Pacific.
Regaining Pride and Hauteur.
japanese literally interpreted
Gen. MacArthur's demand for an
early peace according to their pre-
vious opinions and they seemed to
pay little attention to his accom-
panying proposal for continuing
supervision.
Many, fearing the Russians or
their own oligarchs, expressed the
hope that American military forces
would remain indefinitely. Others
began to regain their pride and
hauteur with consequent return
of attitude that everything must be
done the japanese way.
They implied clearly their belief
It would not be long before the
japanese would be running every
thing. Generally, they are the men
who could be expected to gain power
when foreign control ends.

Macarthur DiscIoses
Failure 10
Seize Southern Korea
BY The A.soe;ofed Press

TOKYO, Sunday, June 29-Gen.
Macarthur disclosed today that
Korean rightists had failed in an
abortive attempt to take over the
government of Southern Korea in
March.
Gen. Macarthur routine monthly
report on the occupation, covering
Korea for March, said:
"On March 2. an effort was made
by the former Cffungking provi-
sional Korean government in exile
to declare itself the de jure govern
ment of Korea. A body of political
counselorS was named, with DR.,
Syngman Rhee as president and
Kim Koo vice president.
Military Government authorities
Immediately announced that the act
was illegal and there was little
evidence of popular support. .
Nothing More Officially.
The supreme commanders report
said nothing more about the little
publiciZed incident.
Sources in Korea, however, gave
this background:
Kim Koo, veteran rightist inde-
pendence leader, had announced
several times before that he in
tended to proclaim that his war
time Korean government-in-e exile
actually recognized by no country
was the legal government of Amer
n-occupied Southern Korea
His proclamation finally appeared
in some Korean language papers but
gained little attention and no sup
port and finally died of its own &C
cord.
Some observers thought Kim Koo
was trying to get Korean police sup
port in hope Of showing such
strength that the Americans would
have to recognize him, but this did
not happen.
Rhee in Washington at Time.
He made his move while the other
most prominent rightist, DR.. Rhee,
was in Washington. Rhee denied
any connection with the attempt puC
returned to Korea soon afterward.
BY that time the movement had
expired.
The Korean information continues
that both Kim Koo and Rhee oppose
the big-power trusteeship plan for
Korea and are not cooperating with
the present American-Soviet joint
commission seeking to agree on a
unified government.
Observers there believe that the
two stand together when they have
a common objective but split when
ever the time appears ripe for emer-
gence of a Korean national leader.
Each wants to be the George
Washington of Korea"

The restaurateur has informed
the Senate Civil Service Committee
that he is willing to put up a
ST 900, 900 performance bond to back
up his contention that he can do
a much better job of operating
the cafeterias than is now being
done by Government Services, Inc.
In the event that the committee
should decide that he isn't doing
a good job in the operation of the
cafeterias, the 81 100000 would re-
vert to the United States Treasury.
The Senate Civil Service subcom-
mittee investigating the affairs of
GSI is definitely interested in the
novel offer. but it has not COM
mitted itself on the deal. Com
mittee Spokesmen say the groups
immediate task is to complete its
recommendations on whether GSI
should be allowed to continue opera

Loyalty Investigations.
II there is to be any loyalty inves-
tigation of Federal employees this
year, it's a safe bet that it will be
done under the conditions set up by
Chairman Rees of the House Civil
Service Committee.
Mr. Rees expresses confidence that
the House and Senate will go along
in favoring his bill over the loyalty
investigating plan of President Tru-
mans. The Kansan has conferred
with Chairman Taber of the House
Committee. and
Chairman Allen of the House Rules
Committee, and evidently has re-
ceiyed pledges of their support.
Mr.. Rees' measure is Identical In
many respects with President n'u-
mans plan, but his bill provides for
a more thorough checkup of Gov
ernment employees already on the
Federal payroll. The Rees bill would
also relegate the Civil Service Com
mission to a relatively minor role in
the Investigations. with the F'BI tax
ing full charge of the program.
incidentally, some Government
officials expect the designations of
several hundred suspected Federal
employees as soon as Congress ap-
propriates the necessary money for
the investigation. These workers
