u. 5. Zone Rightists
In Korea Allowed 10
Accept Russian Bid
BY fhs Assoeiofsd Press

SEOUL, Koreay Mar. 27.-High
American officials said today that
Korean rightists are welcome to
60 to Russian occupied North Korea
to confer on Soviet-sponsored gov
ernment plan.
Broadcasts from Pyongyang, So
Wet occupation headquarters, yes
terday invited Kim Koo and others
to q meeting Of the North Korean
Peoples Committee April IA.
One American authority remarked
that 1t might be a good thing to let
them "go north and find out fol
themselves how the Soviets oper.
ate on the home grounds"
Another American, who also in.
sisted on anonymity, counseled eau
ton. He said the North Korean
maneuver might be intended to dis
rupt plans for an election in Amer
ican-occupied South Korea May
or might be test to see how much
pro-Soviet strength could be ex-
pected in the south.
whatever it is" he said, cit is
adding to the confusion of an al
ready confused situation"
U. N. Commission Barred.
The situation stems from the q
year inability of the United States
and Russia to agree on a unified
Korean government.
The Russians insisted on consult
ing only Communist and leftist
Koreans. The United States re-
ferred the case to the United Ma
tions, but the Russians refused to
let U. N. commission enter their
occupation zone even for courtesy
call.
Instead, the Soviet-dominated
North Korean Peoples Committee
announced 1t was putting the final
touches on a government designed
to rule all Korea.
The American commandant, 1t,
Gen. John r. Hodge, countered by
ordering an election May 8 for a
Korean government. Although this
election can apply only in the Amer
lean occupation zone, the u. N. COM
mission has voted to observe it.
Marked Shift in Attitude.
A number of South Korean lead
ers, although anti Communist, have
opposed the election for fear it
would further solidify the divisiornof
Korea. All of these were invited by
the Pyongyang broadcasts to par
ticipate in the April IA conference.
Presumably they would be asked to
approve the draft of a constitution
for the Soviet-controlled people S
republic"
The bid to rightists in general and
to Kim Koo in particular repre-
sents a marked shift In the Soviet
attitude. He was denounced bitterly
by the Russian and Korean Com
munists throughout the futile ses-
sions of the Soviet-American COM
mission because he opposed the pro-
jected 5-year Allied t1usteeship over
Korea.
Both Kim Koo and the moderate
rightist Kimm Kyu Six expressed
willingness to accept the Pyong-
yang invitation, despite the ac-
knowledged risk of being held In
house arrest and misquoted while
there.

Showdown on Control
OF Atom Is Expected
By Delegates at U. n.
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Mar. 27.-Re-
sponsible United Nations delegates
said tonight the Russian Western
Power deadlock on world atomic
control is moving toward q show
down.
These sources expressed belief
this may come at the 1s48 U. N.
General Assembly in Paris begin
ming in September.
The delegates, who would not
permit Identification, have watched
every turn Of the involved atomic
talks between Russia and the West,
principally the United States, Brit
ain and France.
They said that the groundwork
for the showdown apparently Is be-
ing laid now at important meetings
of the working committee of the
United Nations Atomic Energy
Commission. The Soviet Ukraine,
which replaced Poland last Janu-
ary, has lined up with Russia in
the first policy declaration.
More Statements Monday.
The working committee will meet
at lo:3o am. Monday for further
statements.
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet deputy
foreign minister, is expected to sum
up the Soviet views after everyone
has spoken.
Reliable sources have said Fred
erick H. Osborn, American deputy
on the Atomic Commission, is will
ing for the Assembly to inquire
into the situation.
Atomic energy was showed aside
at the 1947 Assembly.
Now those delegates who have
struggled through long hours OF
committee meetings are represented
as feeling that 1t Is time to lay the
whole disagreement before the AS
sembly and see whether the pres
sure of the full Assembly can do
anything toward breaking the stale
mate.
Plan Offered In 1916.
On June IA, 1916, Bernard M.
Baruch, American delegate to the
U. N. commission, presented this
country's plan for atomic control.
He said the United States would
dispose of its bombs when it was
satisfied that the world had estab-
Ished q safe, effective and operat-
ing system Of control.
On June 10, 1946, Mr.. Gromyko
laid down the Soviet plan, which
called for an immediate convention
outlawing atomic bombs and pro-
viding that no more would be manu-
factured. Mr.. Gromyko said con-
trolls could be worked out after the
prohibition was in effect.
The commission majority Of 10
members stood together on the
American plan, while Russia gained
only the support of Poland.
The U. N. program next week
shapes up this way:
Monday-Atomic Working Com
mittee.
Tuesday-The Security Council on
Palestine.
Wednesday-The Security Coun-
Gil on Czechoslovakia.

Would Permit Canadian Vessels 10 Garry Freight,
 Passengers, Alaska Ports

WASHINGTON, April 14.--lR-- 4 Senate committee was urged to- day to revise the maritime laws tc pernit Canadian vessels to carry freight and passengers to and be- tween Alaskan ports.
 The Senate Interstate and For eign Commerce Committee was con- sider;ng two bills to accomplish the plan. One would amend the Jones Act to permit American shippers tc route goods for Alaska by way of a Canadian port and by Canadian vessels. This is now prohibited al- though such goods can be sent to 0anauIan port and S. ipped south to la west coast port. The bill would amend an 1886 law forbidding for eign vessels to carry passengers be- tween American ports.
 Senator Butler (R-Neb), who in- troduced the bill to amend the Jones Act, told the committee in a statement the law discriminate against Alaska.
 After 27 years of operation under the Jones Act of 1920.' he said, the carriers have failed to establish satisfactory Alaskan service
 If we are to encourage American settlers to go to Alaska, and this we must do if we are to make AL aska strategically strong. we must have adequate shipping at rates which will permit economic devel- opment."
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska tolo the committee the proposed changes in the law would aid development of Alaska. He and Malcomb Miller representing the Territory, said the proposals would not take freight business from the American linei and would make it easier for Alas. kans to get goods they need quick. lv and to travel between Alaskan ports.
 Representatives of the Seattle steamship companies now operating the Alaskan service were present tt oppose the legislation.
