Closing Of La Prensa
Not U. 5. Affair, Says
Peron Foreign Chief
Argentine Minister, Here
For PorIey, Also Denies
Executive Is Responsible
By Gornett D. Horner

The Peron government of Ar
gentina insists that the closing of
La Prensa is no business of the
United States or the other Amer
lean republics.
This was one of the few things
made clear by DR.. Hipolito Jesus
Paz, soft-spoken, 34-year-old Ar

conference here for which he was
As minutes late yesterday.
Another thing on which he was
very definite in an involved sort
of way was that the executive
power" in Argentina - that is,
President Peron-isn't responsible
for the enforced shutdown of the
big Buenos Aires newspaper.
Started as Labor Problem.
DR.. PaZ insisted that La
Prensa's troubles started as a
labor problem, then came before
a judge and now are in the hands
of a congressional investigating
committee. Because of the con-
stitutional separation of powers in
Argentina, therefore, he, as a
part of the executive power, "
couldn't even express any opinion
about whether La Prensa ever will
be able to publish again as an
Independent newspaper.

has been shut down for nearly
two months. A boycott of the
pro-Peron News Vendors and
Printers Union forced it's closure.
The Peron-dominated Argentine
Congress recently named a COM
mittee to take it over and in
vestigate. Yesterday, this COM
mittee branded the papers editor
and publisher, DR.. Alberto Gainza
Paz, a fugitive from justice. The
committee had ordered him jailed
for contempt of congress.

Work ofKeepingR Red!
From Armed Forces
Doubled Since Korea
High OffIeioI Agrees
Military InfiItrotion
Has Priority Now
By John A. Giles

The armed forces have increased
their activity to ferret out Commu-
nists by more than so per ce,it
since the Korean war started last
June Is.
A high official said today that
the increase was measured both In
terms of additional manpower for
the Army's Counter Intelligence
Corps and in the amount of inves-
Itigative activity. He added that
both the Navy and Air Force also
had stepped up their activity pro-
Iportionately.
But the official, who may not be
named, said he concurred in the
recent assertion of Senator Fer
guson. Republican, Of Michigan
that the Communists in theil
country had given top priority to
Iinfiltration of the military estab-
Ilishment in place of the State De-
Ipartment, the target before the
Korean war.
Problem Increases.
The problem of spotting and
ousting Reds in the armed forces
has increased not only because of
the Communist change of target
but also because of the simple
fact that the services strength
has expanded swiftly. he said.
And it is increasingly difficult
to spot them-both among those
in uniform and among civilians
employed by the military - "be-
cause you don't find these card
carrying Communists any more ~
the official said.
Nevertheless, the Army is salts
fled that the measures it is taking
are adequate although we don't
say no one gets in," he said. But
if they do slip past the screening
process and become at all active
I'VE think we are finding them u
he added.
The Counter Intelligence Corps
most difficult job in trying to
combat the Red menace is the
checking of several hundred
thousand civilian personnel. And
once found, it is far more difficult
to get rid of Reds among the
IcivilianS.
Enlisted Foreigners Problem.
There is no degree of COM
munism in the armed forces. If
evidence is produced that shows
Communist association, a man is
regarded as a military security
risk.
A most difficult screening job
has just been thrust on the Army
with the passage of law allowing
the enlistment of $500 foreigners.
How are you going to throw a
background investigation on a
man born in Communist-con-
trolled Warsaw. for instance?"
the official asked.

Three Senator's Favor
Naming Macarthur
Ambassador 10 Japan
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senators Brewster. Republican,
Of Maine; Knowland, Republican,
Of California, and Cain, Republi-
can, Of Washington, were agreed
today that Gen. Macarthur ought
to be made Ambassador to Japan.
Senator Stennis, Democrat, Of
Mississippi went along to the ex-
tent of saying Gen. Macarthur no
doubt could render a very fine
mission" He objected, however,
to the practice of naming too
many military men" to diplomatic
positions.
The four took part in a radio
discussion of Far Eastern, prob
lens yesterday.
Senator Brewster said at one
point that he was confident Rus
sia cannot fight a war in the
Orient" In support of this con-
tention. he said military men agree
the Trans-Siberian Railway from
Russia to Manchuria is incapable
of moving large forces and sup
plies to the Far East.
Says Tide Has Turned.
Senator Stennis expressed be-
lief that "the tide already has
turned against communism in
Asia.
The three Republican Senators
agreed with the Mississippian'S S
view Of the treaty as "a great
triumph in diplomacy" Senator
Knowland, however, cautioned
against "the possible dangers of
delay" in ratification Of the treaty,
which he said might result in
''loss Of the diplomatic iniative"
in the Far East.
Senator Brewster said, "I have
high hopes that Gen. Macarthur
may return to Japan as Ambas-
Sador." He added that MacAr-
thur, as lone man who shares the
respect Of both the Communists
and all Asia" might solve the
complex political problems in the
Far East.
Hopes for "Open Door,"
Senator Brewster said he hoped
the next so years would see the
same "open door" policy in China
as most of the last SO had seen.
Such policy, he said, should be
based on the theory that "a strong,
Independent, progressive" regime
there is essential to world peace.
Senator Cain wanted to know
how Senator Brewster would go
about reopening China's doors to
the free world. Senator Brewster
answered that the Chinese first
must be freed from Communist
domination. That objective, he
added, might be brought closer by
Gen. MacArthur's return to the
Far East.
