the entire spy ring was smashed.
/ No coercion of any kind was
used by Japanese officials to OBJ
tain the confessions, the witness
asserted.
MY opinion as to why Sorge
confessed is that he felt his spy
activities were just about COM
pleted in Japan and that they
were very successful" the Jap
anese official testified.
Under questioning by Repre-
sentative Walter, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, the witness said the
Russians undoubtedly knew in ad-
vance of japanese plans for ag-
greSSion.
Sought Troop Dispositions.
Mr.. YoShikawa said that when
the japanese Government mobi-
Ilized 100000 soldiers in August.
1941, Sorge and other members
iof the spy ring tried desperately
to learn where these troops were
to be used and continued their
campaign of promoting an attack
to the South.
Sorge and OZaki argued, the
witness said, that the japanese
could find much needed natural
resources in Southeast Asia at
little military effort while an at
tack on Siberia would mean fight
/ ing strong Red Army for barren
land.
In connection with Sorge's re-
ports to Moscow on Japanese
American negotiations prior to
Pearl Harbor the following mes
sage from the master spy was
sent to the Kremlin:
In Konoye's opinion. they (the
talks will end successfully if ia
pan decreases her forces in China
and French mdo-China and gives
up her plan of building eight ma
val and air bases in French Indo-
China. If America refuses to
compromise by the middle of Oc-
tober Japan will attack America,
the Malay countries, Singapore
and Sumatra.
"She will not attack Borneo
because it is within reach of
Singapore and Manila. However,
there will be war only if the talks
break down, and there is no doubt
that Japan is doing her best to
bring them to a successful con-
'clusion, even at the expense Of
her German ally"

Those airplanes of your side

We have full proof to substantiate
the above fact
The Communists said the U. N

that trucks of the Red delegation
would not be attacked by Allied
planes if the vehicles were
marked with white flags.
In his reply, Admiral Joy
pointed out the Red negotiators

Kaesong meeting that all vehicles
to be used by the Communists to
travel to KaeSong would be pro.
tected from air attack if marked
properly and if the Allies were
notified in advance of their route
and time of travel.
Furthermore, he said, the Reds
did provide such notification oi
the route and travel time of theil

August 6 reply to your letter that
we had ordered a new strict ad-

that we had guaranteed anew the

agreement.
Informed of Red Reply.
"You are surely aware that this
agreement is that concerning the
naturalization of Kaesong as men
toned in your August 7 letter."
Gen. Ridgway had been out of

The delegation held it's custom
ary staff conference during the
day.
Bridge Again Washed Away.
The pontoon bridge over which
the delegates aides travel in a
jeep convoy to and from Kaesong
was washed away again today. 1t
was the fourth time in three weeks
the span had been carried away
by the swollen Imjin River or de-
liberately taken down by Amer
Iican Army engineers in efforts to
save it.
Engineers cut it in two last
night a few hours after rebuilding
it. But during the night the river
broke the lasheS holding the main
section and carried it miles
down stream.
A missing bridge, however
would be no obstacle to resuming
negotiations. The ENJOYS go by
helicopter and their aides can go
the same way.

Soviet Will Fail to Block Treaty
With Japan, Acheson Predicts

Confidence that Russia will faiI
in efforts to block the signing of {
peace treaty with Japan next
month was expressed by American
officials today.
Secretary of State Acheson tolc
IA news conference yesterday he
expected Moscow to carry on 9
peace offensive" propaganda
campaign aimed at disrupting the
treaty conference opening in Sar
Francisco September 4.
But he did not appear worried
about the prospects and other Of
If1cials said they could not see how
the Soviet campaign could succeed
in diSrupting the session.
Mr.. Acheson said he expected
the propaganda campaign to stress
material like that in Soviet Presi-
dent Nikolai Shvernik's letter te
President Truman earlier this
week, renewing a Russian pro-
posal for a five-power pact, in
Icluding Communist China.
Dismissing the Soviet propose
as Superf1uous in view of the
United Nations Charter which he
described as a peace pact among
60 not just s. nations, Mr.
AcheSon challenged Russia "tc
join us Fundamentally on the
United Nations road to peace"
He emphasized that since the
end of World War II the U. N
has been working to attain the
peace objectives outlined in Mr.
Shverniks letter. But it's work
has been obstructed continually
by the Soviet government" he
added.
Noting the Soviet Presidents
declaration that governments
must encourage the support OF
peace with deeds as we'll as words
Mr.. Acheson said these deeds are
exactly what we have been await
ing from the Soviet Union"
He told questioners he saw nc
evidence in the letter of any
change in Soviet policy in the
direction of encouraging real
peace,

President Truman faced ques.
tioning about the Shvernik letter
at news conference scheduled
for 4 pm. today, and was ex-
Ipected to take substantially the
same line as Mr.. Acheson.
Mr.. AcheSon said he had seen
no indication Russia would send
a. delegation to the San Fran
cisco conference. Moscow. urging
that a Japanese treaty be pre-
pared in a conference of only
five big powers, has objected to
the American procedure of ad-
vance negotiation of treaty terms
among all the nations that took
part in the Pacific war. They
have been invited to sign the
document at San Francisco.
Pacific Security Pact Seen.
The treaty, which would restore
Japan's independence and end the
occupation, is one of three inter
national arrangements worked out
by Washington in consultation
with other Pacific powers.
The other two agreements are a
security treaty among the United
States, Australia and New Zealand
and separate agreement with
Japan which will permit American
armed tCrces to remain, on jap
anese territory.
The State Department an
nounced last night that the treaty
with Australia and New Zealand
will be signed at San Francisco on
September three days in ad-
vance Of the scheduled opening OF
the japanese conference. The de-
partmenr described it as lone of a
series of arrangements toward
strengthening the fabric of peace

Change In Plans Denied.
There have been reports that
the Air Force abandoned the idea
|of having everybody in blues by
July l and started issuing the new
clothing to everybody at once, but
Air spokesmen denied that there
had been any change. They say
the regulation remains unchanged,
but admit that it may be neces-
sary to move the date back in
stead.
The Air Force is not yet is
suing blue raincoats to its en-
listed personnel although such
clothing is required of officers
except in the Far East. The en-
listed personnel are still being
issued the old Army khaki rain
coats and this lack of uniformity
in the ranks is said to rankle the
generals when they pass in re-
view.
So there is a plan within the
Air Force to issue new blue coats
and the estimated cost is $13 each
instead of So for the present ones.
Such a plan has been proposed
and the final decision is expected
to be made at the highest Air
Force levels shortly. Then it
would have to be approved by the
Defense Department.

The sample was brought in by

No Maryland Samples.
Officer Smith said no samples
were obtained from Maryland
but that it was understood to be
growing all along the river bank
into that State.
In some instances, it grows six
or seven feet tall, he related.
According to the tip, he said
the weeds were being taken into
the two cities and sold, after first
being dried out. He added there
was nothing to indicate that the
owners of the property involved
were concerned in the use or dis
tribution of the weeds.
Senator Kefauver inquired
whose obligation it was to destroy
the source. Officer Smith said he

LOSS CAUSED BY LEASEHOLD SALE

ruled a loss resulting from the sale

The decision was handed down in
the case of Los Angeles resident
who sought compensation when
forced to give up. at loss, a lease
on a small hotel at the time persons
of Japanese ancestry were evacua-

owner.
The Attorney General said "it
would be a strict and unrealistic
construction of the Evacuation
Claims) Act to hold that the phrase
loss of real or personal property
comprehends only losses of tangible
property or incorporeal property
rights.
All items claimed we're allowed,
with the exception of rather eX-
pensive camera which disappeared
from storage while the claimant
was in a relocation camp.
The Attorney General said the
claimant should have deposited the
camera with local police as required
by law. This loss was disallowed,
The claimant was awarded total
of $1,000.
Mike Masaoka, national JACL
Ado director, said the Attorney
Generals Interpretation of losses on
lease was lin line with what the
JACL ADO has urged in the past"

decision.

YORTY'S BILL
WOULD END
RACIAL BIAS
Calf. Representative
Lifts Issei Hopes
For Citizenship

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan 20
(ADC)-A freshman representative
from California. Samuel w. Yorty.
3D. has introduced a bill to re-
move race in naturalization saying
he hoped it would demonstrate
our attachment to the principles of
Justice. the JACL ADO said today.
Rep. Yorty was elected to sue
coed Rep. Helen Gahagan Doug
las who unsuccessfulIy sought cleo
ton as a Senator from California.
When he introduced the measure,
Rep Yorty said: During these days
when democracy is called upon to
block the ambitious entertainments
of communism, it is fitting that we
should strive not only to preserve
our democracy, but also to improve
and perfect it.
I'm introducing Cthis) BILL I am
seeking to accomplish what I know
is the will of the majority of the
Congress. and which surely would
have been accomplished by the last
Congress except for technical legal
difficulties
MANY of our resident aliens
now ineligible for citizenship are
the parents of children who served
,.,ifL c.oot ,l;et;not;o,. l., tI,o Iasf
war. The largest numbers are of
Japanese descent, and If reason to
bar them from citizenship ever
existed that reason most certain
ly does not exist today"
He said passage of such law
would strengthen the bonds of
friendship between the United
States and Japan, but added
20. course, the international sit
uation is not as important as the
desire to demonstrate our attach
ment to the principles of justice by
dealing justly with the almost 1O0,-
600 loyal Americans who have re-
sided among us for many years, who
have worked and lived as good Am
orleans but who are, never
theless, technically barred from ever
being able to proudly say: I am a
citizen of the United States.
Il am sure this Congress will want
to make it possible for these people
to obtain their citizenship without
further delay
The bill introduced by Rep. Yorty
is identical to the Walter Naturali-
zation bill, a measure first introdu-
ced at the request of the JACL
ADO, and which, in the words of
Mike Masaoka, "the JACL ADO is
fighting for in justice to the thou
sands of loyal Issei in the United
States. They deserve citizenship. I
know eventually Congress will give
it to them.

MONTREAL, Canada. Jan 20-A
private bill will be introduced in the
Quebec Legislature when it opens
its 1851 sessions late this month
which, if passed, would grant a
charter to the Buddhist Church of
Quebec. in Montreal. This would
legally recognize Buddhism as a re-
ligion in Quebec with rights to esta-
blish a church within the province
Barring unforeseen Developments
it is expected to pass the house.
In accordance with the laws of the
province, a public n5tice was insert
ed for four successive weeks in both
English and French newspapers to
the effect that the Buddhist Church
was seeking incorporation as an &c
clesiastical body to which no object
ion had been received.
The need for a charter arises out
of the fact that under a Quebec law
Catholicism, Professionalism and Ju-
daism are the only religions which
are legally recognized and the others
must present a petition for a char
ter to the Legislative Assembly.
While the latter, and this includes
Buddhism, might BE- morally sane
toned in Quebec, without a charter,
they have not the usual privileges
accorded to officially recognized re-
ligiouS organizations.
In a sense, the law seems to favor
these three major religions, but it
is not discriminatory 1t does not
