Peace Talk Proposal Arouses ~
PRES. URGES
 HEN|SpHERE
 SIREN H

WASHINGTON, March 26.--R- President Truman urged the na- tions of the new world today to strengthen and coordinate their de- fense forces against great perils' posed by the aggressive expansion of the Soviet system toward our own hemisphere.
 We must now plan as a primary task for the strengthening and the coordinated use of our defense forces in this hemisphere, MT, Truman said in a speech prepared for the opening of the inter- -Ameri- can foreign ministers meeting.
 We must also consider how we may best use our strength to sup port the cause of freedom against aggression through the world"
 In those words the American chief executive sounded the theme which this government hopes will guide the work of the foreign ministers of the q American republics meet ing here in their fourth session.
 In advance of the foreign mini sters' conference, it was learned that MT. Truman's administration is giving urgent consideration to an $8O,0Oo0O0 military air program for Latin America.
 MT. Truman laid neavy stress in his speech on what he. called a need for action to concert our deienses and combine our strength in order to support men in Europe and Asia who are battling for free- dom.'
 He pictured the Soviet system as one of "unbridled power, imposing slavery at home and aggression abroad" a sai3. B Haa @ He assailed the inexperienced by some of his political opponents in this country-that the American nations can protect themselves re-
 
 gardless of what happens to the rest of the world. o9ss5 f2as 1se3'
 There will be no security in the world without. the U. N.," he asserted. Powerful and productive as the Western Hemisphere is, we cannot make it safe by building a wall around it."
 While he did not specify the pre- else steps he hopes the conference meeting here for the next two or three weeks will take, it is known that the U. s. hopes to get agree ment CD for development of a strategic plan for Western Hemi- sphere defenses, @ for building up the total strength of the Latin American nations on which the U. N. could call for help against ag- gression anywhere.

NO TRACE OF CL0DEMASTER LOST AT SEA

SHANNON AIRPORT, Ireland, March 26 -lR- Ships and planes swept the North Atlantic for the fourth day today seeking a trace of the vanished U. s. Air Force Globe master and it's 53 American airmen. Speculation that the giant plane had been sabotaged appeared in the British press.
 Officials, their hopes virtually dashed that any of the missing air men would be found alive, remained silent concerning what might have happened to the big transport. But there has been speculation in Brit ish newspapers that it might have exploded in flight. The newspapers said they considered it odd that so few clues have been found in the re- latively well-traveled area of the Atlantic.
 A giant U. S. Navy aircraft car rier and two destroyers were joining the air-sea hunt for the Globe master.

Easier Was
 Celebrated,
 World Over
By Associated Press

Continuing international tensions heightened the fervency of peace hungry Easter celebrants through out the Christian world yesterday.
 Even in, Eastern Europe. where orthodox Christianity no longer is favored as a way of life, Easter services were jammed. M
 Thousands of Pilgrims flocked to the site of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. They found in the Holy Land a twentieth century symbol of the crown of thorns barbed wire entaglements remaining from the 1948 Arab-Jewish fighting.
 Pilgrims to Rome heard Pope Plus XII make a fervent appeal for brotherly accord to free the world of lust and violence so that all might live and work in peace.
 Chaplains with United Nations forces in Korea held services al crude outdoor altars to bring their embattled congregations Christ's message of hope.
 An urgent wish for a peaceful ordered world was the dominent theme of observances everywhere.
 In Communist-governed Czecho- slavia, in Soviet occupied East Ger many and in Moscow itself. Easter services were damned. In the Philip pines, soldiers with fixed bayonet' guarded the faithful from possible raids by the Red-inspired Hukba- lahaps.
 There were cheerful aspects, how. ever. New York and Paris staged the customary Easter fashion shows Sudden showers fell in Israel, break ing the worst drought in 80 years.

DEPORTATION FOR COSTELLO
 NOT POSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, March 26,-(R-. Attorney General McGrath told senators today there is no way un- der the law to denaturalize or de- port Frankie Costello, New York racketeer.
 ! McGrath testified before the sen- ate crime investigating committee that Costello ha sbeen convicted only once of a serious crime-car- rying concealed weapon in 1915- and for that reason is not subject to deportation.
 The Attorney General said the law states an alien must nave been sentenced twice for serious crime which occurred within five years of his entry into the country be- fore he is subject to deportation.
 He noted that Costello, born in Italy, became naturalized citizen in 1925.
 Even if he were denaturalized, McGrath said that would not be sufficient for his deportation.
 McGrath charged that some newspapers he did not name were deliberately trying to make it ap- pear that the Department of Jus tice has some means it could I1se to denaturalize and deport MT Cts- tello."

WASHINGTON, March 26 -tR- The latest FBI report lists only 10 avowed Communists party members in Alaska and 36 in Hawaii
 The figures were given today by Director J. Edgar Hoover in copy righted interview in the magazine "U. S. News and World Report"
 Hoover disclosed that the FBI has secret agents among a group of American Communists which he said "has gone underground for possible action at later date"
 This technique" he added, lis necessary in keeping abreast with clandestine operations of any sub versive organization"
 He said All that remains of the Communist party above ground is a self constituted core, which for appearances sake maintains pub lie contact"
 A new FBI count" of party mem berS in the United States puts their total at 43,218, drop of more than 20 per cent from the 55,00O figure Hoover announced last year. The party itself has stopped issuing membership figures.
 Hoover's breakdown on avowed Communists showed 22,575 in New York = more than five times the number in any other state. Next was California with 4,550 The list gave Washington State S07 and Oregon 150.

 NE " TER M . FOR TRUMAN R ''||.I|
By JACK BELL


 WASHINGTON, March 26 --tR-- The signs indicated today that any new term bid by President Truman may meet with opposition within his party.
 Most Washington politicians will ing to talk about it apparently think MT. Truman has hit new low in popularity because of recent ex- posures of alleged influence rackets within his administration.
 Many of these politicians agree that the Korean war venture has had bad political reaction on the Truman administration, despite it's recent military turn for the better
 Labor has been firing broadsides at the Presidents production and economic. stabilization setup and doesn't seem to be much nearer to reconciliation than it was several weeks ago.
 The railroad switchmen's dis agreement with management goes on with little apparent progress to- ward solution. Railroad union men generally are credited with feeling they haven't been treated entirely fairly by the White House.
 To all of this has been added a sure sign that the President will have some expertly-led opposition from Southern Democrats if he should decide he wants another four years in the White House.

LONDON.-The most important question I came to Europe to an- sWer is: Will there be war this year? Will Moscow strike before Western Europe can be rearmed?
 It still remains extremely diff cult to answer that question, but my personal hunc., is there will not be war.
 The word "hunch" is used ad- visedly. For all the ingredients are on hand to make war. Moscow has ample troops on the Yugoslav bor- der to attack overnight. Moscow also has ample troops in Germany plus heavy concentrations of the old Nazi Luftwaffe, plus important reserves of tanks and repair shops to throw us out of Germany and march to the English channel in a couple of weeks.

GENERAL AR0U5E5
 DISPUTE
Attack on Coasta China Might Have Been Start-
 ed forC Certain Purposes
By JOHN NJ. mGHTowER


 WASHINGTON, March 26 --tR-- The dispute that rages between General Douglas Macarthur and the Truman administration over how to win the Korean war has reached fever heat again. The ad- ministration may shortly ask the general to clear with Washington anything he says involving broad foreign policy issues.
 This may or may not prove &C., ceptable to Macarthur, but State Department officials as well as some others with great influence at the White House privately say some thing must be done to prevent repetition of last weeks exchange of shocks and harsh words between Tokyo and Washington.
 Ignores Truman's Order
 President Truman circulated last December a firm, government-wide directive declaring that any state ment on foreign policy by any of- ficial or employe of the government in speech, article or other public utterance, should be cleared with the State Department. Informants said today that order was called to MacArthur's attention at that time.
 Friday night. Washington time, Macarthur left Tokyo for the 38th Parallel area of Korea to order LIN forces to cross into North Korea as tactical requirements made nec- essary. Before leaving Tokyo he is- sued a statement to the press.
 Bid for Peace Talks
 In this statement he made bid for peace talks with his opposite number on the Communist side, said the Chinese Reds were licked and incapable of waging modern war and warned that if the United Na- tions launched attacks on Chinese bases and coastal area the Red na- ton would probably suffer military collapse.
 This statement, a check showed, caught the State Department com pletely unawares. It apparently also caught President Truman without advance notice.
 Coastal Attack Tinted
 The key Macarthur clause which set off the alarm here was that the United Nations could probably suc- ceed in forcing a military collapse of Red China by a limited coastal attack and base bombing war. A Tokyo dispatch yesterday suggested Macarthur probably was trying to divert the Chinese Reds attention from Korea to the danger of coastal attack.
 Aches0n Surprised | Whatever his objective, any state ment he makes - even hedged m with ifs" about extending the war in the Far East always sends huge shudders among the Canadian, French, British and other friendly governments. When the Europeans come into the State Department wanting to know what does Mac Arthur propose to do," Acheson and his aides get upset about the proo- lems of holding together the politi- cal side of the coalition of which

GOVERNOR MAKES ] COMMENT REGARD
 l EDUCATION HEAD

In signing Senate Bill No 92, an act amending the previously exist ing provisions concerning the quail fications of the Commissioner of Education, Governor Ernest Gruen- ing today gave out the following statement: MA%@ tK BW "A considerable number of letters and telegrams in opposition have been received from teachers, school administrators, parents and civic groups. based on press dispatches, the burden of which is that this act lowers the standards required of a prospective Commissioner of Educa- tion and that this is objectionable. If the act did this would consider these protests fully warranted.
 "A reading of the act itself, how ever, leads me to an entirely con- trary view and in order to let the public know that I am aware of the protests, have given them full con- sideration and feel that the fears they reveal should be allayed, am making this statement.
 BrOadens Requirement

 Senate Bill No. 92 merely re- moves that one narrowing require ment. that the candidate shall have taken a few specific undergraduate courses, and substitutes broader requirement., that the Commissioner shall be chosen according to quail fications prescribed by the Board oi Education That does not constitute lowering of standards. On the con- trary, it makes possible the raising of standards as it permits the Board to establish specifications, comph- ance with which should assure that the person so selected will be truly chosen upon merit, and because ol his special fitness to propose ano execute beneficial educational poll. cies for the general supervision government and control of the pub l lie schools of the Territory
