No Advice from johnson
The secretary, who returned to
his office from a trip yesterday,
said he had conferred within the
Navy department and the decision
was concurred in unanimously by
his top adviserS-that no disci-
plinary action be taken.
Mr.. Matthews said he had re-
ceived no advice on the point from
his superior, Defense Secretary
johnson. Mr.. Johnson's office has
let it be known that the defense
chief believes that Capt. Cromme-
lin and his supporters are fout-
ing law but that he intends to let
the Navy handle the case in it's
own way.
A naval court of inquiry re-
convenes next Wednesday to hear
Capt. Crommelin and others.
Matthews Calls for Harmony
Mr.. Matthews took occasion yes
terday to say he personally favored
military unification and that he
feels it is "the duty of all hands to
respect the action of Congress, to
work for harmonious results under
existing laws"
The Navy's long smouldering
fight against unifcation OF the
armed forces. once publicly
squelched by President Truman,
fared into the open with the
Crommelin statement last Satur-
day. It centers around the broad
question of each services role in
war and lately has focused on
the B-36 strategic bombardment
plane.
Cedric Worth, suspended assist
ant to Undersecretary of the Navy
Dan H. Kimball, is the acknowl-
edged author of a once-anony-
nous memorandum criticizing the
B-36 and it's procurement which
touched off hearing by the

Force in Red Strikes
by the Assoeioted Press

ROME, Sept. 15.-Premier Al
eide de Gasperi declared today
that his government is ready. If
necessary, to use force to save
Italy's economy.
MIR. de Gasperi's words, spoken
at the seventh congress of Ital-
ian savings banks at Venice, were
the bluntest warning yet to the
Communicated threat of an au-
tumn campaign of strikes, voiced
by Giuseppe de Vittorio. Commu-
mist boss of the General Confed-
Grafton of Labor.
Mr.. de Gasperi also made what
he said was "a last appeal to the
reasonableness" of Italian sailors
whose week-old strike held pas
senger ships paralyzed in Ital-

In message to the people of
the United States, DR.. Adenauer
said:
I'VE owe the United States an
extraordinary amount. Perhaps
never in the history of the world
has it happened that a victorious
power devoted itself to the re-
construction of the vanquished.
IF the United States continues
! in the way it now is doing, then
world history one day will regard
this reconstruction as something
greater than was the attainment
of victory"
Cautious Attitude Urged.
DR.. Adenauer, real power be-
hind the year-long preparations

in regard to relations between
Russia and the Western Allies:
II do not belong to those who
say that peace can be attained
only by war. But it is necessary
to be cautious in ones attitude
toward authoritarian govern
ments.
Russia more likely will be
peaceful if determination to pre-
serve peace is shown on the other
side.
DR.. Adenauer was asked if he
wanted to see Western Allied
troops withdraw from Germany
"at this time"
He replied: Eyes, If Russian
troops withdraw at the same
time"
But he added that when all
Allied troops pulled out of Ger
many. he would want exactly the
same number Of Western Allied
troops on Germany's western bor-
ders as the Russians keep on her

Before Allied troops withdraw,
he said, he would like it insured
that the Russian zones people S

present status to that of a real

dered the staff to work on report
Of them.
Present plans are that the re-
port shall go much further than
an exposition of the Hickenlooper
charges and answers to them.
Senator Mcmahon has a messianic
zeal about the great new force
with which the human race can
now so easily destroy itself. His
fear has been not that this democ-
racy would talk too much about
1t, but that it would not take the
time and pains to understand the
Pandora's box it has opened.
A full review of atomic policy
as contained in the Mcmahon Act,
which puts atomic energy under
civilian control, is now contem-
plated. The goals for peacetime
use, which are very gradually. be-
ing attained, will be described.
Security Is Vexing Problem.
The most vexing problem of
all in atomic energy is security
which was the real heart of the
Hickenlooper charges. The Sen
ator attacked commission care
lessness, security procedures, etc.
The portions of the report that
deals with this aspect will doubt
less be the most controversial.
Actually there is considerable
atomic isolation in Congress for
which Senator Hickenlooper is
spokesman. The degree to which
Senator Vandenberg sympathizes
with it is a question; it is be-
lieved that an offhand anti-Lil-
lenthal comment by Senator
vandenberg set off Senator Hick-
enlooper.
In a rather confused episode
recently, Senator Hickenlooper
was reported to have told an
American Legion convention ses-
sion that the military should have
greater control over atomic en-
ergy. Senator Mcmahon prompt
ly reasserted the principle of
civilian control and Senator
Hickenlooper formally stated that
he had been misquoted. that he
too. was for civilian control.
Officially the military does not
want back control of atomic en-
ergy or even the bomb stockpile
which is now Acc property. But
1t seems indisputable that there
is a faction in the military and
On the hill which keeps limiting
that Democratic control of atomic
energy is too great a hazard.

Vshinsky Expected
To Ask New Meetinq
OF Big 4 Ministers
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Sept. 15.-Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
slated to head the Soviet dele
CATION at the United Nations AS
sembly in New York next week, is
expected to press for a new meet
ing of the Big Four Council OF
Foreign Ministers.
With Secretary of State Ache
son, British Foreign Secretary
Bevin and French Foreign Minis
ter Schuman all due to be on
hand, informed circles here said
MIR. Vishinsky will urge an early
formal meeting of the council.
When the foreign ministers
ended their Paris meeting on Ger
many last June, they agreed to
meet Informally during the U. N.
session to discuss their next meet
ing.
Some Issues Left open.
The Paris session reached an
agreement to end Soviet traffic
restrictions (the blockade) in Ber-
lin, but several other questions
were left hanging.
Among major problems still to
be solved are possible future eco
nomic and political unity OF Ger
many, an independence treaty for
Austria and reconciliation OF
divergent Allied views on who
should write a peace treaty for
Japan.
The Austrian treaty was turned
over to the ministers deputies,
but they have failed to reach an
agreement, thus turning the mat
ter back to the Foreign Ministers
Council.
Moscow informants said Mr..
vishinsky, who was turned down
at the Paris meeting, probably
will press again for action on a
peace treaty for Japan.
Split on japanese Treaty.
Mr.. Acheson, backed by Mr..
Bevin and Mr.. Schuman, con-
tended a japanese treaty was not
a question for the Council. They
argued it should go to the Far
Eastern Commission, which in
cludes Australia and the Philip
pines.
Mr.. Vishinsky stressed then,
and probably will do so again,
that he felt the Foreign Ministers
Council was the place to begin
negotiations on Japan, informants
said.
(Mr. Acheson and Mr.. Bevin
agreed in Washington this
week that a japanese peace
treaty is urgently needed in
order to accomplish long
delayed Pacific settlement.
(Mr. Acheson indicated the
United States and Britain may
make a new bid to Russia to
end the two-year deadlock
over who should draft the
treaty.
Mr.. Vishinsky lunched at the
American Embassy here Tuesday
with Ambassador Alan G. Kirk, it
was disclosed last night. Admiral
Kirk said it was a friendly, purely
social" occasion. 4S
He said he had invited the So
Wet foreign minister in view OF
the possibility that Mr.. Vishinsky
would leave for the New York
u. N. meeting soon. He said he
had followed the practice of meet
ing with a foreign minister before
the statesman left his home coun-
try on previous diplomatic as
signments.
Moscow observers noted, how
ever, that it was the first time in
several years that this principle
Of diplomatic courtesy had been
applied by the American Embassy
here.

Roscoe Perry Awaits
Hoax Theft Sentence

Roscoe Perry, brother Of the
prize fighter. Aaron Perry. today
awaited sentencing in District
Court for the hoax-theft of nearly
$4,000 from a Giant Food Store
last November.
Roscoe, 20, colored. Of the 1900
block Of Twelfth street NV. was
convicted by a jury in Judge
James w. Morris court. He prob
ably will be sentenced later this
week.
Key witness in the prosecution
by Assistant United States Attor-
ney Frank Reifsnyder was Robert
Garsh. 26, manager Of the store,
who pleaded guilty several weeks
ago to participating with Perry in
the pre-arranged daylight theft
at Tenth and U streets.
Garsh testified that he and
Perry discussed the staging of a
fake robbery twice before it &C
tually came of on November 8.
On that day. by pre-arrangement,
Perry entered the store at time
when the store detective was gone
and business was light. Garsh
said.
In the rear Office, Garsh said. he
handed Perry about $4,000 cash,
let the man hit him with his fist
and then gave a robbery story to
police after Perry left.
Perry contended he was
framed" by the Garsh family who
he testified, bore him a grudge be-
cause he influenced his brother to
quit prize fighting. Aaron Perry
was under contract to Robert
Garsh's father at the time of the
theft, Defense Counsel Curtis
Mitchell contended.
The jury deliberated four hours
before returning a verdict in the
six-day trial.

:British-Argentine Pact
Hits Reciprocal Trade
Policy, Senators Say
" fhs Asseeiofsd Press

Senator'S today described the
British-Argentine trade pact
signed yesterday as heavy blow
to this country's reciprocal trade
policy.
Publicly and privately. they ac-
cused Britain Of following policy
which tends to choke OF the free
world trade sought by the United
States.
The pact, binding Britain and
Argentina to do most Of their
trading with each other over the
next five years, was signed in
Buenos Aires.
"Serious Situation" Seen.
The State Department. which
had vigorously objected to such a
deal, made the best Of it yesterday
and issued a toned down state
ment expressing qualification that
substantially more fiexibility"
had been written into the agree
ment.
But Senator George, Democrat.
Of Georgia. said the treaty has
created a serious situation" He
said it will complicate his job of
getting the Senate to approve an
extension Of the reciprocal trade
agreements from asked by Presi-
dent Truman.
AS chairman Of the Senate
Finance mmittee. Senator
George will lead the fight to ex-
tend the Presidents powers to
negotiate trade agreements which
lower tariff barriers.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
ranking Republican member of
the Finance Committee, said the
pact will have a tremendous i'm
pact on our reciprocal trade sys-
tenn"
U. s. Seen Frozen Out.
Under the agreement, Britain
will furnish Argentina most Of
her imports in return for meat
and cereals. American critics say
the pact will virtually freeze the
United States out of the Argentine
market.
But even more serious, some
Senators say, is the fact that the
treaty sets a pattern which may
wreck American efforts to break
down trade barriers.
1.-THE pact tends to restrict
rather than expand freer world
trade" Senator Millikin said.
"And 1t indicates we are working
at cross purposes with the second
greatest trade country in the world
