Hartman 10 Clarity
u. S.-China Relations
In Macarthur Talks
BY the Associated Press

A desire to clarity United States
relations with the Chinese Nation
alists was reported today to be be-
hind the Tokyo conference of Gen.
Macarthur and w. Averell Harri-
man.
That is understood to be the
chief reason why President Tru-
man dispatched his foreign affairs
co-ordinator to Gen. MacArthur's S
headquarters for a discussion OF
Far Eastern political questions.
Mr.. Hartman left here yesterday
and is due to return next Wednes-
day.
In announcing the trip Thurs
day. the President emphasized that
Gen. Macarthur and Mr.. Harri-
man would talk about a number of
outstanding problems arising out
of the Korean crisis.
Foremost among these problems
in official thinking here, it was
learned today, is that of Formosa
the Nationalist stronghold.
The Formosa issue is considered
urgent for two reasons on which
Mr.. Hartman was fully briefed
before he left Washington.
/. The United States, besides
wanting to keep the island from
the Communists, does not want
it to become new focus of con-
f1ict in the Far East. Therefore
it does not want to tie up toe
closely with Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, whose avowed aim is
to reconquer the mainland OF
China and who apparently re-
CARDS the Korean conflict simply
as a stage in a developing Com
munist war.
2. The time of year in which
the Chinese Communists could
assault Formosa across 100 miles
of open water is drawing to a
close. That makes the rest of
this month especially critical; if
the Communists intend to strike
they must do so in the next three
weeks.
Gen. Macarthur visited Chiang's S
headquarters at Taipeh, Formosa
last Monday to turn down the
Generalissimo's offer of troops
for Korea and to confer with
him on the defenses of the island
Their conference was followed by
separate statements from both
men saying they had agreed on
the basis for the defense of For
mosa
Authoritative sources here say
Gen. Macarthur did not advise
Washington, or at least the State
Department and White House
about his trip-leaving them in
the dark as to the results he
achieved.
Policy makers here assume Gen
Macarthur acted under President
Truman's general instructions for
the protection of Formosa and
discussed only defensive military
arrangements with Chang.

tions engaged in dismantling Ger
man industrial plants.
The defeat of the Mcclellan
amendment was the second time
supporters of the Marshall Plan
had beaten down a move to trim
the funds for the Economic Co.
operation Administration. Earlier
they had waged a successful fight
to exempt the ECA from the 10
per cent overall budget slash under
an amendment sponsored by Sen
ators Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia; Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, and others to
cut non-defense funds by that
amount.
Federal officials were quick to
point out that the 10 per cent cut
in most non-defense funds by the
adoption of the Byrd-Bridges
amendment actually may amount
to as much as IA or Is per cent.
They explained that expendi-
lures for two months of the cur

figure.
Problem illustrated.
The continuing resolution which
Congress adopted when the fiscal
year started July l without new
having been appropriated
that expenditures could
continue at the rate of the last
quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Where the House already had cut
appropriations, however, the agen-
cles took that into consideration.
One agency illustrated in this
way the problems most of the
non-defense agencies will face:
Assume that you are to get
500 for the year and will spend
one twelfth each month. At this
rate, at the end of two months
you will have spent $16.66 and
have 1888 left for the next 10

That the Senate Democratic Policy
Committee had knowledge of the
contents of the Shimon report be-
fore Chairman Neely of the Dis
trict Committee called for the in
quiry, Senator Brewster said:
Il think any one familiar with
the Washington atmosphere will
be able to determine to what de-
gree there is a political flavor to
this matter"
He told The Star today he would
not seek to appear before the Pep
per subcommittee, but would be
more than willing to help the
group if he could.
Subpoena for Barrett.
Maj. Barrett was said to be
willing to appear voluntarily. but
Senate investigators said they had
prepared a subpoena, which prob
ably would be handed to the police
chief when he arrived. This was
designed to prevent any thought
that Maj. Barrett was forced to
appear but also to give the sub
committee legal authority to make
it's demands, Capitol Hill spokes-
man said.
1t. Shimon formerly was as
signed as chief investigator to the
staff OF the United States Attorney
here. He has had some high
ranking senatorial hackers. it is
said.
During the Hughes investiga-
ton, a hot feud developed between
Senator Brewster and Mr.. Hughes.
Several days ago, the Maine
Senator repeated a story he said
had grown old-that during the
Hughes investigation he discovered
that a man was following him
and that a fellow Senator had said
he would do something" about
that.
Told Of Expenses.
AS a result, man showed up,
presumably 1t. Shilnon, and
checked his office for possibly
Wire-tapping and came back a
second time to show a "rogues
gallery picture of the man who
had been following hlm, Senator
Brewster said.
Senator Brewster told The Star
from his Maine home last night
that later the man he assumed
was 1t. Shimon assured him you
will not be bothered again." He
said 1t. Shimon also told him he
had had some expenses" and
that he had directed the officer
be paid. He said it was about
$10O or a little more.
Il did not know but that he
had to follow the other fellow to
New York and had incurred ex-
penses, Senator Brewster said.
I had understood he had been
detailed to the Capitol and took
that for granted perhaps too
hastily. So I directed the pay
ment be made for his expenses"
Grand Jury Hears Fay.
He said this involved no discus
sion about any Wire tapping and
said he was "a little weary" tell
ing about that. since it has been
rehashed so many times"
Meanwhile. United States At

witness to appear yesterday after
noon before the grand jury.
Two police officers who served
under 1t. Shimon while he was

ever, because of his defeat on the

He also said that the Korean
conflict is a civil war and that
both sides to the dispute-both
North and South Korea-must be
represented, and that foreign
troops, meaning American troops,
must be pulled out.
That, Mr.. Austin said off the

U. N. is trying to save itself against
aggression and the force of arms. y
AS a peace proposal, Mr.. Austin
said, "It is a pharisaical effort in

freedom" that only Russia and its
captive states" would really regard
as a move for peace. Sir Gladwyr

Power Failure Hits
Three D. T.. Areas

Homes in the Congress Heights,
Oxon Hill and Bellevue areas of
Southeast Washington were with
out electricity nearly three hours
this morning.
Potomac Electric Power Co,
blamed the failure on a breakdown
OF insulation on a switch at the
Bellevue substation. This put
three 4,000-volt feeder lines out
of commission.
The power went off around 6:10
am. and by 8 am. the company
reported service restored.
For householders with electri-
cally-controlled burners, it meant
little or no heat just at the time
temperatures normally are turned
up. Lights went out throughout
the area.
The company said the failure
apparently affected only resi-
dences. For instance, at Bellevue
the failure involved a housing
project.
The 18th police precinct said it
received numerous complaints.
