Archer L. Lerch announced today
that Koreans soon will be given a
much greater role in operation Of
their government In American-oc-
cupied South Korea.
Future American control, the
military governor explained, will be
exercised only to avert govern
mental disaster and not for the
purpose of imposing American ideas
or methods in matters relatively
unimportant."
Outlining future American mill
tary government policy, Gen. Lerch
said that with few exceptions Amer
ican personnel will withdraw from
operational activity and will be or
ganized within each province and
within each department as an In

The balloon, filled with helium,

.LiIienthaI Opponents; nj
.Coneede Fight Is LOST
Against Confirmation
Test Vote Of 81 to 80
In Senate Generally
Accepted as Decisive
BY III. Associated Press

Senate foes of David E. Lilien-
thai conceded defeat today in
their long effort to block his
confirmation as chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
A 52-to-38 test vote yesterday was
generally accepted as decisive. The
l4-vote margin killed a motion by
Senator Bricker, Republican, of
Ohio to send all the atomic nomina-
tions back to committee for an FBI
check.
The Senate is taking an Easter
recess and the final vote cannot
come until next week. But the fight
was gone out of most of the anti
Lilienthal forces.
Senator Taft, Republican. of Ohio
who charged that Mr.. Lilienthal was
too soft" toward Communism and
Soviet Russia, said he saw no reason
why the final tally should be much
different from yesterdays vote. He
claimed the outcome was just about
what he thought 1t would be.
Rest Is Anticlimax.
THE rest of it is anticlimax-just
a routine matter said Senator
Wherry of Nebraska, the Republican,
whip, who took an active part in
the fight to block the nomination.
Eighteen Republicans teamed with
"a Democrats to beat Senator Brick
er's motion Thirty lone Republic
ans and seven Democrats voted
for it.
Chairman Hickenlooper of the
Atomic Energy Committee. which
recommended Mr. Lilienthals con-
frmation, looks for greater margin
on the final vote Like many other
members, he viewed yesterdays test
as the opposition's biggest show OF
strength.
Senator Bricker accepted defeat
of his motion with good humor.
"Oh, it's all right" he told a re-
porter. I'VE still vote by ma jorities

BY the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW. April 4.-Foreign Min
lister Molotov. in the first official
Soviet comment on President Tru-
mans proposed aid to Greece, went
on record today in an interview with
Johannes Steel with the declaration
he doubted the plan would restore
democracy" there. a
The best way to restore democ-
racw to Greece would be to do away
with foreign intervention. Mr. Molo-
tov commented.
The implication that Greece was
no democracy at present was an as
sumption advanced by Mr.. Steel
American writer and radio COM
merftator, who put the question tc
Mr.. Molotov in this way: do you
believe that President Truman's pro-
posed American policy on Greece
wilr restore democracy to Greece?
Mr.. Molotov's declaration or
Greece and other questions came in
series of 10 questions and answers
put to him in writing by Mr.. Steel
who arrived in Moscow early in the
conference of foreign ministers.
Mr.. Molotov stated compromise
was possible between Russia's pro-
posal for unified Germany and the
United States plan for a Federal
Germany. II the questions could be
decided by a German plebiscite.
Mr.. Molotov said he saw q danger

political organization of Germany
would lead to Germany's dismem-
bermerlt.
The Soviet Minister also said it
was his opinion that the results Of
such q development would give
German nilitarists and revancf-
ists trevengersl. an opportunity to
take the affairs of Germany into
their own hands.

Selection Of Grady
As Envoy 10 India
Revealed by AehesoI
State Department Officiol
Believed Truman Had
Sent Name to Senate
By Gornett D. Horner

Henry F. Grady, West Coast
shipping executive and former
Assistant Secretary of State, has
been selected by President Tru-
man as the first American Am
bassador to India.
This was disclosed prematurely
today by Acting Secretary OF State
Acheson, who was under the impress
sion that the formal nomination of
Mr.. Grady had been sent to the
Senate by Mr.. Truman.
The nomination presumably was
ready to 60 to the Senate. but could
not be sent today because the Sen
ate was not in session.
Only yesterday President Truman
told his news conference he had not
offered the job to Mr.. Grady, and
said he could not answer questions
at that time on who would get the
appointment.
Acheson Takes Chance.
Mr.. Acheson was asked at his
news conference when an Ambas-
sador to India would be named.
He said today-that the President
was sending the nomination to the
Senate.
A reporter asked Mr.. Acheson
then if he could say who the NOM
inee was. Mr.. Acheson turned to
Lincoln White, State Department
press officer, and asked if he knew
if the nomination had been released.
Mr.. White told him he did not know.
Mr.. Acheson then remarked he
would take a terrific chance and
told his news conference Mr.. Grady
had been selected.
After the news conference had
broken up, State Department Of
ficials discovered the nomination
was not being made formally today.
Long Record of Service.
Mr.. Grady. now president of the
American President Lines, a ship
ping concern with headquarters in
San Francisco, has a long record of
Government service.
He gained valuable background
for his new assignment in l942'when
he headed an American technical
mission to India to study ways Of
promoting Indian war production.
Asaf Ali, India's first Ambassador
to this country, presented his
credentials to Mr.. Truman about
two months ago.

George Says He Back!
Greek Aid Bill as
Means 10 Curb Reds
Not Merely Relief
Measure, He Says;
Easy Possoee Seen
By J. A. oLeory

Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia announced today his
support of the Greek Turkish
aid bill is based deliberately OF,
the ground it Is vital 'to check
Russian expansion noW," and
not merely as a relief measure,
The Georgian added his inf1uen-
tial voice to the support of the
s4oo, coo 900 measure amid indica-
tions it will have fairly easy sailing
in the Senate.
WITH floor debate due to start by
the middle OF next week, the bill Is
likely to produce at lesst q week OF
comprehensive discussion of the
world situation. The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee approved ths
measure, 13 to 0, yesterday.
Must Keep Strong.
Senator George declared that IN
adopting this policy it follows that
we must keep strong" Then he
added:
"And we must also have the faith
that positive policy now asserted
by the United States will bring te
our aid, and assistance other nations
who also have a fear Of Russian
expansion"
One Of the most significant signs
Of Senate approval was the an
nouncement by Senator Pepper
Democrat, Of Florida, that he will
support the bill, even If it is not
further amended. Senator Pepper
joined Senator Taylor, Democrat, OF
Idaho. in sponsoring a substitute
which was beaten In committee yes
terday, to conf1ne the program to
rlon-military aid to Greece alone
through the United Nations.
After asserting the bill should not
be regarded as mere relief meas
ure, Senator George pointed out
that Russia already controls the
Balkan states to the west, is def
nitely in Manchuria, Korea and
parts of China. He said "her long
arm" also is reaching down to
India. .-<..
Greeks Can't Stand Alone.
Greece cannot stand alone and
if Greece should fall into the hands
of Albania, Yugoslavia or Bulgaria
Turkey would be virtually sur
rounded" Senator George continued
Turkey is the key to the Middle
East. What is of vital Importance
the Mediterranean would fall in
the Russian orbit and the position
OF whole Western Europe, including
Italy and France, would be gravely
endangered"
A week ago it looked as though
the opposition was gaining head
way with the argument that this
country was bypassing and under
mining U. N. by taking aid directly
to Greece and Turkey.
Senator Vandenberg. Republican
of Michigan, foreign relations chair
man, came forward, however. with
his amendment under which this
country agrees to discontinue direct
aid whenever U. N. acts to under
take 1t.
This gives expression to American
faith in U. NJ without leaving
Greece and Turkey unaided while
q. N. is deciding what it wants to do
The bill will not go through the
Senate, however, without a COM
prehensive foreign policy debate
