Neglect by Traders
Drives StocksDown
Fractions 10 Point
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. ia pretty
much neglected stock market
|drifted slowly lower today with
price changes mostly in small
fractions.
There was no rush to sell and
the downward movement had no
real vim behind it. The down.
ward movement was the result fol-
the most part of plain neglect.
Traders weren't particularly
surprised. They anticipated irregu-
lar sessions and slow activity dur
ing the Thanksgiving week.
Most of them did not expect any
real decisive action in the market
until the holiday Interruptions
end.
The soft spots showed up in
about every major group. Here
and there loss of around a point
cropped up but for the most both
declines and advances were frac-
tional.
At one time Firestone lost two
points, Chrysler dropped Ia and
Dow Chemical was off a point.
United States Steel, Bethlehem
Republic and Youngstown. each

was down and Packard up slightly

On the bond market prices slid
into slightly lower ground with

Government bonds were Cuiet and
price changes were negligible.

Negotiations Data

(Senator Hickenlooper took over
the questioning at this point and
examined Secretary Acheson close
ly about the concessions to Russia
at the Yalta Conference. His in
quiry was based on his statements
and records that Germany was
near defeat and that the United
States was making plans to inten-
sify the war with Japan at that
time. He demanded of Secretary
Acheson the reason for granting
such important areas to Russia
and Mr.. Acneson replied that his
questions were purely hypothetical
and could not be answered in the
light Of conditions in January
1945.)

.Acheson Again Tells
OF Basis for Peace

Senator Kefauver-Mr. Secre-
tary, on June 4, =. question
was asked by Senator johnson
and myself, too, and you read
from either a letter or q part of
"a letter from Gen. Ii Tsung- jen
of May 5. 1949. in which he says
in part that in spite Of the help
that has been given by the United
States that the Nationalist gov
eminent of China has not made
judicial use of it, ct cetera.
Is that all of the letter Of the
Acting President Ii Tsung- -jen?
Secretary Acheson-I think
was askeu about that yesterday
and said that ] would undertake
to find out. I have not been able
to do that yet. However, I shall
do it. . do not know Of any
thing that President Truman
would object to having made pub
lic-but I have not seen it all.
Senator Kefauver-Now, Mr.
Secretary. what worries me about
the situation in Korea, aside from
not knowing how the conflict is
going to be brought to q con-
clusion, is the matter Of whether
we can place any reliance upon
any peace treaty that might be
made with the Chinese Commu.
mist government
You stated in your opening
statement and I think we are all
agreed that great deal Of reli-
ance cannot be put upon the pres
ent leadership there. So then, II
We make an agreement with
them, what assurance can we
have that the agreement will be
carried out?
Must Reflect Existing Facts.
Secretary Acheson - Well,
think I said in answer to earlier
Questions on the same subject
Senator Kefauver. that an agree
ment to have value is one which
really has to reflect certain exist
ing facts. Those facts, If they are
of the nature which make fol
keeping Of an agreement will be
an important factor on it's being
kept.
i Therefore, if the situation grow.
ling out of this fighting is that thu
Chinese Communists have Learned
THAT they cannot carry out theil
purpose of driving us out of Korea
and that they suffer very heavil,
lin attempting to keep it up, thai
they recognize that the purpos,
has to be dropped and find solu.
, ton which they are willing t,
keep-that is the real basis OF
. which we can expect to have sue

have in mind, and what the Stat,

ADA Resolution

Senator Knowland-. 5. I woule
] like to call your attention, Mr.
Secretary. to statement issued
tby the Americans for Democratic
Action on September Is. 1850:
1.-THE United States should i'm
lmediately withdraw recognition o1
the Chang Kai-shek government
las the government of China, and
treat it as a de facto authority
on Formosa for the time being
The matter of seating Communist
China in the U. N. has to be linked
at this moment to China's inten-
tions with regard to Korea and
Formosa.
"The United States should pro-
pose that before consideration is
given to seating Communist
China, the U. N. has to receive
from the government the most
explicit assurance that it will not
intervene nilitarily in Korea and
will not force a military solution
of the Formosa problem, both is
sues now before the U. N. itself. ]"
Was that. the viewpoint of the
Americans for Democratic action,
ever the viewpoint of the Depart
ment of State?
Secretary Acheson-No, sir.
Senator Knowland-Do you
agree or disagree with that point
Of view?
Secretary Acheson-No, I say 1t
is not the view Of the Department
Iof State.
Senator Knowland - Going
back to the January 11th state
ment in the United Nations
wherein we did instruct our rep
resentative, Mr.. Austin, to vote
for this resolution, that is 1851
wherein we instructed our repre-
sentative. Mr.. Austin, to vote fol
the cease fire proposal, you have
already testified that among the
nations named were Communist
China. the Soviet Union and Great
Britain, all of whom at that time
had agreed that. Fornosa should
be turned over to the Communists
and all of whom had expressed
an idea that Red China should
be admitted into the United Ma.

Are you familiar with the fact
that there appeared an article ir
the New York Times dated Janu.
ary II by responsible CORE.
spondent at Lake Success, Mr.
Walter Sullivan, in which he sale
and I quote:
United States circles indicated
an expectation that the Chinese
Communists would reject the plar
presented today and implied thai
American support had been giver
with this expectation in mind.
Is that a correct statement oi
fact?
Secretary Acheson-Well. it /;
correct that I believed that tbs
Chinese Communists would reject
the proposal, and I think I stated
that to some members who ars
now in this room.
Senator Knowland-Did we sup.
port the resolution having in mine
that they would reject it?

deal with political officials as wei

of the so-called Peoples Republi,
cf China?
Secretary AcheSon - Well,
think the only thing that cal
throw light on that is what ha
been done In the past, and 70,
know, Of course. that the groul
set up by the United Nations. tn,
Good Offices Committee. have at.
tempted to get negotiation
started.

the Communist authorities Ii
Peking. that is. the political au'
thorities of the Peoples Govern.
Iment Of China. or whatever thu
official name is?
Secretary Acheson-That is the
governmental authorities. The
U. N. has made attempts to get ir
contact with them. The Govern
Iment of the United States di-
Irected Gen. Macarthur in Oc-
Itober. think it was. 1850 to make
Ipronouncement directed toward
the commanding general Of the
North Korean forces.
There are two instances, where
in one case an attempt was made
Ito get communication to the
commanding officer in the field
and in the other case an attempt
has been made by the U. N. to
get in touch with the government
tai authorities in control Of the
forces.
Peoples Republic Included.
Senator Hickenlooper-Now, the
U. N. proposal which we joined
in and approved. calling for a
cease-f1re, speaking of the govern
mental representatives including
the four or five which you named
this morning, that included the
Peoples Republic of China, did
lit not?
Secretary Acheson-That is
correct. That was one of the
five principles. The fifth principle
was that after the fighting
stopped. then outstanding ques-
tions in the Pacific including
these two would be talked about
in a group which included the
four named countries.
Senator Hickenlooper - Now
Mr.. Secretary, did not that
offer OF the U. N. to which we
ascribed and consented and
Joined in, did not that In fact
recognize the existence of the
Peoples Republic of China as q
government. a political govern
ment-whether de facto or de jure
would make little difference. II
constituted a recognition Of that
government, in my opinion.
Secretary Acheson - Recogni-
ton by whom. Senator?
Senator Hickenlooper-By us
in joining in that document
which invited the Peoples gov
ernment of China to sit down
around the table to negotiate the
question of peace and settlement
Secretary Acheson-I do moi
think it did in any respect.
