ance before the joint Senate con-
mittee investigating the MacAr-
thur controversy for another round
Of searching examination On this
Icountry's Far Eastern policy.
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, of
Connecticut, the first Senator to
question Mr.. Acheson at this
mornings session, sought to dispel
what he described as ''the fiction"
that concessions granted to Russia
Iat Yalta paved the way for the
Chinese Communist victory in
China.
The Connecticut Senator based
his questions in part on secret
testimony taken in recent years
by the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. He added that this
testimony documents to "an
amazing extent" the proposition
that Chang Kai-shek'S downfall
was caused by the corruption,
the rottenness, the inefficiency
and the stupidity of the Chang
Kai-shek government"
Secret Report Released.
In connection with his examina-
tion, Senator Mcmahon read into
the record secret testimony given
before the Foreign Relations Com
mittee in 1949 by Maj. Gen
David j. Barr, blaming the Ma
tionalist collapse on the ineptness
of the Chang government. This
was done over protest of Senator
Lodge, Republican. of Massachu-
sets and some other committee
members who said the testimony
should not be disclosed without a
vote by the foreign relations
group to release it.
Senator Mcmahon also reviewed
this country's loans to the Chang
government in 1942-43 and de-
clared that the American tax
payers were robbed by this
corrupt gang of crooks and
should hope that the admins
tration would start to do some
thing about it."
He said that 81 million in gold
made available to the Nationalist
government to bolster it's cur
rency was used by Nationalist
government officials for their
own private profit"
MOrgenthau Rejected Loan.
Asked about the loans, Secre-
tary Acheson read a 1943 report
by former Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau, turning down an
application for further Chinese
loans on the grounds that they
would result in no significant con-
tribution to stopping Chinese in
1ation.
At Senator McMahon's request,
Mr.. Acheson also read into the
records the concessions bearing on
the Far East that were granted
the Soviet at the big Three
Yalta Conference.
These included the preserva-
ton of the status quo in Outer
Mongolia, the restoration to Rus
sia of the southern part of Sakha-
lin, which was taken from her by
the Japanese in 1904, interna-
tionalizing of the Port of Darien
and recognition of the Soviets
"pre-eminent interest" there and
restoration of the Russian lease
on Port Arthur as naval base.
Soviet Agreed to Help Chang.

ing that old fellows like this John
Faraday don't usually buy that
kind of ticket-and that's how
happened to notice him particu-
larly."
Excellent" Caldwell said.
There's no doubt in your mind
then that he boarded your ship
on the morning of Thursday, Oc-
tober 12th?"
'NoSSir."
"Your post is at the gangway
where people must come aboard?"
'YeSSir"
How long did you remain
Until we cast off"
"And he didn't leave the ship
before it sailed?"
Positively not, sir. Like told
the police, he couldn't have got
ten off without me noticing"
Then, if for any reason he
wished to return to shore before
sailing time, he'd have had to pass
you and go down the gangway?"
That's right" TraSk nodded
vigorously.
DO people ever return to shore
after once boarding the ship"
Certainly, sir. Dozens of them
do, every trip. They like to get
their bags and luggage aboard
early. then stand on dock with
their friends until just before the
ship leaves. We take their tickets
when they come on board with
their luggage; then, if they want
to 60 ashore again we give them
special ticket which they have
to give me when they get back
on" He shook his head with GER
t&inty. This Faraday didn't leave
after he got on, no matter how
you figure"
Il think he did, Caldwell con-
tradicted. Il think he left the ship
before it sailed, and never made
that particular trip to Michigan"
Caldwell held up his hand. Let
me explain. Faraday didn't leave
the ship, but he didn't make the
trip to ST. Joe either" With
movement so unexpected and
swift that didn't realize what
was happening, Caldwell leaned
over his desk. sank his fingers into
Richard Starr Flecker's name Of
white hair. and jerked the entire
head of hair from his head.
Flicker, too surprised TO pre-
vent Caldwell's action, shouted,
and grabbed-but too late. Cald-

umphantly, and pointed to the
shining bald plate which it had
covered.
