late Secretary Of Defense. is an
indication of how Mr.. Truman re-
acts when an aide is under heavy
attack.
Mr.. Truman was ready to ac-
cept Mr.. Forrestals formal offer
to resign early in is49. presuma-
bly, because the Secretary did not
lend a hand in the presidential
campaign Of the previous Novem-
Der. But, at about the same time.
two widely known radio COM
mentators and newspaper col
umnists began a long campaign
of abuse against Mr.. Forrestal.
The Presidents intense dislike
of these commentators caused him
to delay for several months ac-
ceptance of the Secretary's resig-
nation. No IS. o. B." was going
to tell the President how to run
his job.

Senator Mccarthy, the attacker

hated by the President than the
two commentators.

Most important, however, he has
been ambassador to the Soviet
Union and Great Britain. There
is little likelihood the Republi-
cans would oppose his nomina-
ton.
Chief Justice Vinson is another
possibility. according to some OBJ
servers who argue that he is one
of the few Democrats with suf-
f1cient stature for the post. These
observers agree. however. that it
would involve a big sacrifice on
Justice Wilson's part to give up

for what has become the highly
volatile post OF Secretary of State.

Dean Acheson is in London at
tending the Foreign Ministers con-
ference. His absence. however,
has not mufi1ed the Washington
rumor drums which continue to
beat out the message that he will
resign as Secretary of State at
the earliest convenient" time.
Under persistent attack for
months-over his attitude toward
Alger Hiss. the American diplo-
matte defeat in China. and
charges that the State Depart
ment was alive with Reds, Mr.
Acheson is said to feel that he
is a political liability to the ad-
ministration.
A sizable segment of the Demo-
cratic majority on Capitol Hill

several hard-headed Northern
machine men. feel the same way
Many capital observers believe
Mr.. Acheson's second year as Sec
retary will be his last. but that he
will not resign before the Novem-
ber congressional elections.
Indications are that the Secre-
tary would like to step out sooner.
for several reasons: /. The great
amount of time he has had to
devote to defending himself has
cut the departments efficiency and
morale. 2. He has been concerned
about the serious illness of one of
his daughters. 3. Mrs. Acheson is
reported to favor his retirement.
Decision Up to Truman.
In the last analysis however, it
will be President Truman who will
decide when. and If. >fr. Acheson

attack by Republican Office seekers

leave before November would be
interpreted in many quarters as
an admission of the charges.

Five Senators Oppose
Moves 10 Strengthen
Western Germany
BY the Associated Press

Five Senators have appealed tc
Secretary of State Acheson to op-
pose increased German steel pro-
duction and ANY further inde-
pendence" for the West German
government at this time.
They said any moves to
strengthen Germany might
weaken Western unity and aid the
Russians in "their attempts to alb
sorb all of Germany within the
Eastern bloc of nations"
The appeal was contained in a
letter the five Senators sent to
Mr.. Acheson in London, where the
Secretary attended the Western
powers foreign ministers confer
ence.
Gillette Releases Letter.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, released the letter yester-
day. Besides Senator Gillette, its
signers included Senators Hen
erickson, Republican, of New Jer-
sey; ives, Republican. of New
York; Kilgore. Democrat, of West
Virginia, and Lehman, Democrat
Liberal, of New York.
The letter was dated May O.
before the recent developments
involving Germany in the talks
among Mr.. Acheson. British For
eign Minister Bevin and French
Foreign Minister Schuman.
The Big Three ministers have
been discussing ways of drawing
Western Germany more closely
into Western Europe's economic
and military defense pattern.
The letter said chances of uni
flying the nations of Europe will
fail "if once again their people
begin to fear the resurgence of
German industrial and military
might"
See Steel Increase Unjustified.
"Given the already existing sur
plus of steel above market require
ments this year in Western
Europe" the Senators said, mo
increase in the present level of
German steel production can be
justified.
They referred to reports that
Germany's present steel produc-
ton of 11.2 million tons annually
may be increased to 1875 million
tons or more this year and to las
million tons by 1852.
Before giving the German gov
ernment greater independence. it
was argued, the Allies should con-
centrate on land reforms. con-
sumer goods production, housing,
outlawing cartels and raising Ger
man purchasing power.

 Miss Gregorioff's essay,

 In these swiftly changing times of foreign and national
 affairs, we are all aware of the
 swirling tide in which we float. We are concious of the num-
 erous plans of conducting the l worlds business which are suggested and tried, and which are usually found to , be lacking in one respect or another. Yet, we are steadily aware that with all these con stant changes in the affairs and politics of the world at
 large, we have a solid and
 steadfast government of our own that we never doubt. All young Americans have had the rare privilege of be- ing through one of the most testing periods of history.
 With their eyes wide open they have seen a new history
 in the making. It was a new
 era in which great men were
 not always correct, but in which they always did what they thought was right. Yet we know that there have been other periods in history when times were distressing. We look back and see with open minds and hearts the dangers that our country has encount- cred since it's birth. We see wars that were fought, dis putes settled, land that was slowly developed, a govern ment that was crudely created, 1 and we know that in the| hearts of each of these, our courageous historians, there has been the immediate desire to have a full-grown, free and independent nation. Their de- sires have been fulfilled, for this union has survived all threats and has sprouted into! a fruitful nation in which i freedom and justice are for ever held dear.
 All Americans are aware of the incomparable land of free l min which the live and now i: as it was in the past, men are to fight, and even to lie to keep this nation free to develop into a more perfect union. All are willing to fight for democracy; for here, in America, each is entitled to free and civil rights under democratic living.

NEW TREATIES FOR BOTTOM FISH
 NOW UNDER STUDY

VANCOUVER, Wash. May 16-R New treaties affecting the Amer ican fishing industry are now un- der study in Washington, D. C., Senator Warren G. Magnuson said here on a visit yesterday. Special attention is being given the Amer ican fishing industry to protect the drag boats, or bottom fishermen, he added.
 Despite a publicity campaign leveled at the so-called Russian crab imports, the crab industry on the Pacific Coast is suffering this season from a shortage of crabs and resulting poor catches, and not from a poor market" he said.
 "The market on a national level is undersupplied, prices are at a high level, and the crab boats of the American fishing fleet are get ting some poor catches" he said.
 Magnuson declared, however, that bottom fishermen do need some special attention Imports of Can- adian foreign fish in that category have a serious effect on the bottom fish price, he said, and he has asked the State Department to hold special hearings on that matter be- fore the reciprocal trade renewals are acted on this fall.

It was rather easy for North to
