Call Soviet Aggressor
In Korea Since 1916
Reporotions Mission
Chief Is Tydines'
Mystery Witness
By Cecil HoIIond

Edwin w. Pauley, former head
of the American Preparations
Commission to Japan, said today
that 1.-The Soviet Union has been
deliberate aggressor in Korea as
far back as May %. 1896"
Mr.. Pauley turned out to be
the mystery witness" called
before the Senate Armed Services
Committee today for what was
described in advance as important
testimony about the Korean
situation.
Chairman Tydings had refused
to divulge the identity Of the wit
ness even to committee msmbers
in advance of the session. But he
had increased the air of mystery
about the witness by arranging
for the meeting to be held in
the Senate Caucus Room-the
largest available for public hear
ings-and committee aides advised
newsreel, radio and teleyision
agencies to be present.
Gen. Roberts Not Called.
Brig. Gen. w. L. Roberts, former
head of the United States military
mission in Korea, was waiting to
take the witness chair, but was
not called. The committee may
hear him tomorrow
Mr.. Pauley testified that at the
time his mission reached Korea
for a reparation survey, it found
itself facing another iron cur
tain-as rigid and as grim as any
that l had seen in Europe"
He referred to the 38th parallel
separating South Korea from
North Korea where. he said, the
Russians moved rapidly to impose
a Communist regime on the coun-
try. From what he observed dur
ing a short and closely guarded
inspection trip into Communist
held North Korea, Mr.. Pauley
said, he was convinced then that
Russia never had any intention
of leaving the country.
Giving Our Views.
Senator Tydings did not explain
why such an air of mystery had
been thrown about Mr.. Pawley's
appearance before the group. ex-
cept to say that he had been
called Tuesday afternoon by the
Pentagon and the White House
and told that Mr.. Pauley had a
statement which 1t was thought
should "be considered by the COM
mittee and the country"
AS Mr.. Pauley began a long
statement reviewing his expert
ence behind the Communist iron
curtain in Korea, Senator john
son, Democrat, of Texas, asked
if what Mr.. Pauley would say re-
fected his views or those of any
Government agency. Mr.. Pauley
said they were his own views and
that he had not had his state
ment cleared by any Government
agency.

The House began voting today
on standby price and wage con-
trolls for President Truman, but
the Senate Banking Committee
continued to struggle with the
problem of how far it wants to go.
Developments today included:
The House adopted an amend
ment exempting from the pro-
posed standby controls rates OF
public utilities, the insurance busi-
ness. and the rates charged in the
publishing industry - newspapers,
magazines, radio, television, mo-
tion picture or other theater en-
terprise, or outdoor advertising
! facilities.
/ The Senate committee spent
the morning exploring the possi-
bility of having the standby con-
trolls take effect automatically
when the general price level
reaches a specified point, but re-
cessed without reaching any de-
ciSion.
Vote on Bill Tomorrow.
The House will continue to act
on amendments all day, but with
an agreement not to pass the bill
before tomorrow. Likewise, mem
bers of the Senate committee ex-
pressed doubt that group would
be able to report a bill before to-
morrow.
Through a misunderstanding.
the Senate committee was report
ed last night to have adopted in
principle the plan of Senator Full
bright, Democrat, of Arkansas, to
tie the price and wage control
power to the Governments cost Of
living statistics, so that the con-
trolls would apply automatically at
a specified level.
Senator Fulbright, Chairman
Maybank. and other Senators
agreed today the committee voted
only to explore" the idea.
Rigid Formula Opposed.
This plan would have disre-
garded the plea of President Tru-
man not to write a rigid formula
into the law. Chairman W.
Stuart Symington of the National
Security Resources Board went to
the Capitol this morning to urge
Senator Maybank to give the
President discretionary controls.
Senator Maybank made it clear
he agrees with this viewpoint,
declaring, "if you are going to
put in standby powers, you cam
not tie the Presidents hands,"
When the committee meets this
afternoon, Senator Capehart, Re-
publican, of Indiana planned to
make another effort to have the
committee report out the limited
powers asked for by the President
originally to allocate scarce ma
terials and control credit, leaving
price and wage controls for sep
arate study. This motion was
rejected twice yesterday, however.
and there are no signs it will
carry today. Chairman Maybank
said he would still rather keep
the whole subject in one bill If
it can be completed for Senate
debate by Monday.
Rent Control Discussed.
Meanwhile, in the House there
was talk of new rent control legis-
lation-either separately or as
part of the pending bill. Admin

Soviet Boycotts
u. N. Military
Staff Committee
Speculation Aroused
Again on Possibility
OF Council WuIkout
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 3.-Rus-
sia faced another diplomatic de-
feat today on the question of
seating Red China in the United
Nations and there was speculation
this might lead to a new Soviet
Walkout.
This speculation arose after
Russia boycotted meeting of the
U. Ms Big Five Military Staff
Committee in New York this fore
noon.
Some diplomatic circles said this
indicated Russia is not yet ready
to end her general U. N. walkout-
strike and has only returned to the
Security Council for a propaganda
blast at the West.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jakob A. Malik returned to the
Security Council Tuesday to as
sumo the Council presidency under
the monthly rotation system. He
was defeated 8 to 3 the same day
on an effort to rule Nationalist
China was holding the Chinese
Council seat Illegally.
His Agenda Rejected.
Some diplomats had looked for
another walkout after this defeat,
but Mr.. Malik stayed on. Now
seven of the Councils II members
have declared they will reject mis-
proposed agenda. which would
give the Chinese representation
question precedence over the Ko-
rean problem.
The question is this: Will Mr..
Malik ignore a decision which
would not only put Korea ahead
but might sidetrack the China
issue indefinitely.
Six countries--Britain, France,
Ecuador, Cuba. Norway and Ma
tionalist China - followed the
United States lead yesterday in
insisting that the council dis
cuss the Korean question before
considering admission of Com
munist China to the council, and
that the two questions be treated
separately.
Warren r. Austin, American
chief delegate, led the fight to re-
ject any deals" for settlement
of the Korean war. He declared
the United States will never agree
that the end of North Korean
aggression depends on any other
issue.
Indias Attitude Watched.
AS the third day of debate be-
gan today on the procedural
tangle, council delegates watched
with particular interest to see
what India would do.
The great Asiatic nation hasn' t
the power to alter the outcome,
but her strategic position in the
east gave added significance to
whatever stand she takes when
her delegate, Sir Bengal N. Rau,
speaks today on the agenda pro-
posed by the Russian delegate,
Jakob A. Malik, council president
for August.
The council is still tangled In
debate over what it should discuss,
and in what order. Some dele
gates hoped to get vote on the
question today.
Mr.. Malik has insisted on the
program he presented:
l. To consider seating the
Chinese Communists.
2. To consider a peaceful set
tlement" in Korea.
In demanding this agenda, he
has denounced United States mill
tary action in Korea as an act of
aggression.
The United States is pushing for
consideration first of it's previ-
ously-submitted proposal denounc-
ing North Koreans defiance of
the U. N. and asking member ma
tionS to help localize the war.

Defense Department
Cuts Public Works
Items 10 299 Million

The Defense Department has
decided to limit it's public works
program for this fiscal year to
bare essentials costing $299 mil
lion. it was learned yesterday.
Originally a s43O million pro-
gram was planned. The decision
to cut this back was brought about
by a more careful screening of the
armed services needs and the fact
that Congress has been slow in
passing authorizing legislation.
| A public works program costing
about $500 million is contem-
plated in the fiscal year beginning
July /. -
The major item in this years
program is $164 million for hous-
ing and installations in Alaska
and on Ok:nawa. There also is
$50 million for the radar network
to protect this country from a
surprise attack.
Other Projects Included.
The air engineering develop
ment center at Tullahoma, Tenn,
costing $50 million, also is in
cluded in this years program
along with the long-range guided
missile proving ground at Banana
River, Fla, at IS million and $50
million worth of miscellaneous
construction.
Most of the military housing
planned for continental bases has
been eliminated since the services
feel they can get sufficient quar-
ters under the WherTy bill for
the present.
This legislation authorizes pri-
vate contractors to lease land on
Government reservations or lands
adjacent to them for construction
of housing units for rental to
military personnel. This hous-
ing is financed by the Federal
Housing Administration on or
near permanent bases only.
Small Items Deferred.
In addition about $50 small
public works items such as sprink-
Ter systems and air station power
houses have been deferred for the
present.
The Senate passed legislation
authorizing most Of the deferred
items but the House has not yet
acted on the measure. After
authorizing legislation is passed
it is then necessary to get ap-
preparations to finance them. ,
