After Gen. Ridgway called them
on these violations, the release

y. 5. Indicates Delay
Till 81 in Ratifying
japanese Peace Pact
BY III. As,oeiotsd Press

Although the United States Is
pressing for speedy signature of a
peace treaty with Japan. there
were strong signs today that this
country will not ratify the pact
until next year.
Senator Mcfarland of Arizona,
Democratic leader in the Senate.
told a reporter his majority forces
have no plan now to, bring the
proposed treaty up for ratificationI
before Congress adjourns, perhaps
in October.
Meanwhile. some State De-
partment officials were reported
puzzled. by the early arrival of
Russia's delegation to the treaty
signing conference.
A 32-member group of Soviet
diplomats, led by Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko, reached
New York yesterday aboard the
Queen Elizabeth-eight days be-
fore the opening conference ses-
sion in San Francisco Septem-
ber 4
Proposals to Be Disclosed.
American officials speculated
that Moscow's delegates may
spend their pre- conference time
trying to round up support for
Russia's expected opposition to
the treaty draft sponsored by the
United States and Great Britain.
Mr.. Gromyko told reporters yes
terday Russia's proposals will be
disclosed at the San Francisco
meeting. Scowling, he expressed
hope any treaty would serve the
best interests of those countries
which have suffered most from
Japan's wartime aggressions.
Swapping mo comment" to
furry of questions, Mr.. Gromyko
strode off the ship.
State Department officials said
they have no idea how the Rus
sian delegation will get to San
Francisco.
State Department tranSporta-
ton officials told reporter they
have made repeated fruitless tele-
phone calls to the Russian En-
bassy to ask about the delegations
travel plans.
The Russian silence, they said.
has scuttled department plans to
arrange for a private railway car
to carry the Russians to the West
Coast. No railway company will
have time now to provide such &C
commodations, they said.
A Dc-6 airliner may be made
available to the Soviet delegation
If the Russians feel like flying,
something they generally avoid In
the United States. But even this
will depend upon quick notice
from Soviet officials.
Wants Signing by Sept. 9.
With a wary eye out for pos
sihle delaying tactics by the Rus
sian delegation. the United States
is pushing for signature of the
treaty draft by some 40 to Is ma
tions by September 8. ,a.zf,
But signature is only a first
step. The treaty would become ef-
fective only after it was ratified
by Japan and by a majority of IA
designated nations which sign the
pact. The IA, named in the treaty
draft, were the principal belliger-
ents in the Pacific in World War
II. Ratification by the United
States, as the occupying power, is
required.
In the United States, authority
to ratify is reserved to the Senate,
and Senator Mcfarland told a re-
porter he sees virtually no pros
pect of bringing it up before ad-
journment now scheduled tenta-
lively for October /. He said
there has been no strong senti-.
ment for ratification this year. He
added that weeks of debate" will
