 JAP PEACE TREATY
(By Associated Pressl


 Top United States defense chiefs arrive in Tokyo today for vital talks with General Macarthur. These confabs may pave the way for a separate peace treaty with Japan.
 Defense Secretary Louis Johnson and General Omar N Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who are due today, will be joined Tuesday by John Foster Dulles, State Department adviser. General Macarthur is said to favor an early peace treaty but believes the United States should retain bases in Japan because of the march of Communism in the Orient. Because of disagreement with Russia an overall peace treaty is impossible at this time. News papers and politicians discussed tie possibility of separate treaty with the West from every angle.

DEWEY IS
 TO RETIRE,
 TERM END
will Not Be Candidate for Re- -eIeetion = Brief
 Statement Issued

ALBANY, NY, June 17-tR-Gov.
 Thomas E. Dewey today gave final.
 emphatic mo" to Republican pleas
 that he run for reelection.
 The twice defeated COP nominee
 for President, who last winter re-
 nounced future White House ambi-
 tions, ended months of dramatic
 suspense over his political future
 by announcing in l0-word writ
 ten statement.
 T shall not be a candidate for
 reelection next fall" He said he probably would re-enter private law practice when his second four year term expires.
 Dewey's decision apparently ieft the field wide open for the expected nomination of It. Gov. Joe R. Han ley. 74-year- veteran of two wars. Hanley announced his candidacy soon afterward Assembly Speaker Oswald D. Heck immediately pledged him his support, as did other Republican leaders. Elaborating on his formal state ment, Dewey said at a news con- ference that he was very tired after 20 years in public life. But he added
 there was nothing wrong with him
 that long rest would not cure. He
 is recovering from an operation to
 correct a bursitis condition in his
 right shoulder, and he is suffering
 from low-blood pressure.
 On the question of 1850 Repub- |lican gubernatorial candidate.
 Dewey told reporters:
 T shall not attempt to dictate the choice of the convention for any office"
 Dewey made clear, however, that although retiring from public office he was not renouncing further ac- tive interest in national or interna- tional politics. He said: "I'll continue to be active in pub lie affairs and in the discussion of issues affecting the welfare of the state and nation. and perhaps most importantly, the very serious prob lems affecting the cold war"

Bv DREW PEARSON

 MsH1NoroN : Several Dem ocratic senators are giving unad- vertised support to the Republican proposal for a separate committee to investigate the Justice Depart ment and the Amerasia case.
 The Democrats don't want their strategy known to the Republicans, but what they are planning to do is broaden the Justice Department probe to include other wartime cases which were hushed up, par ticularly the mysterious shushing of the Chicago Tribune prosecu- tion for giving aid and comfort to the Japanes following the battle of Midway.
 So far the Justice Department has never given an explanation as to why a grand jury, called to indict the Chicago Tribune for a serious breach of wartime secrecy, suddenly was called off.
 The Democrats also have in mind probing another mysterious case involving the Chicago Tribune when it published on Dec. 5, 1941-two days before Pearl Harbor-a sen- sational story about American mo- bilization showing that the United
