SENDAI, Japan, April 19.-Lt.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, United
Nations commander, today told
American troops newly arrived in
Japan, I'VE stand under the i'm
minent threat of war"
On his first inspection trip as
supreme commander, Gen. Ridg-
way told the 223d Regiment of
CALIFORNIA; newly arrived 40th
Division:
ITO all intents and purposes
you're here in war. a2 !!
I'VE stand under the imminent
threat Of war which can be un-
leashed at the time and place of
choosing of other people.
However good you think you
are, and I know you are good.
you've got a long way to go to
reach the standard of veteran
seasoned combat troops (Ameri-
cans in Korea) who are just
across the water. I am confident
you'll use every minute of the
time you've got because you don't

more, it's felt that such policy
might cause some defense en-
Iployes to quit and enter private
industry.
Another factor initiating against
the job freeze request was the bit
ter protests of the Government
lemergency control agencies, who
declared that in some instances it
was essential for them to recruit
defense agency employees for i'm
lportant jobs. The control agencies
strongly urged the commission to
turn down the Defense Depart
ment's request.
Should conditions change and
the national emergency grow
worse, the commission might
change its mind and impose the
requested job freeze. But at pres
ent it appears that defense en-
ployes will be allowed to take
jobs in non-defense agencies If
they so choose.

|Schuman Plan Signed
By Six Nations, Faces
Ratification Fight
By the Associoted Press

PARIS, April designing of the
80 .000-word Schuman Plan treaty
yesterday made West Germany and
France the main partners in vast
coal-and-steel empire.
The Foreign Ministers of the two
ancient rivals and of Italy, Bel
gium, the Netherlands and Lux
embourg wrote into existence the
plan fathered by French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman to Gre
ate a single market for their 81
billion a year production of coal
and steel.
Besides tearing down barriers in
the heavy industry most often
blamed for causing the last two
wars in Europe, the six Ministers
also signed a declaration that they
would continue to work for Euro
pean federation.
Agricultural Pool Proposal.
The six governments, they said,
are resolved ito create the first
supernatural institution and to
thus lay down the real ground
work for an organized Europe"
Further efforts in that direction
are a projected green pool" of
the agricultural resources of Is
European nations. a merger of the
railways and other communica-
tions of most of West Europe, and
the "Pleven plan" for a single
European military force.
The Schuman plan now goes
before the six parliaments for
ratification. 1t faces tough sled
ding in some Of these parliaments,
especially in West Germany.
The German Socialist leader,
Kurt Schumacher. served fresh
notice of opposition at Bonn yes
Iterday.
Adenauer Confident.
"The word Europe has been SUBJ
stituted where the word French
ought to be-" he said of the treaty
West German Chancellor For
eign Minister Konrad Adenauer
who was first to afflx his sigma
ture, said. however. IF I were
not sure that a majority of the
Bundestag dover house, would
decide for the Schuman Plan ]
would not have come to Paris"
The treaty calls for a sort of
independent industrial realm
within the national boundaries of
some 160 million people. Their
coal and steel business will have
separate executive, legislative and
judicial branches.
The basic idea is to raise pro-
duction and wages and lower
prices. The nations are now pro-
ducing nearly 40 million tons of
steel and 225 million tons of coal
a year.
Britain Remains AlOof.
BY unity. a powerful Industrial
machine is created to build UP de-
fenses against any aggression from
the Communist East.
Britain was invited to join the
pool, but she has remained aloof.
The United States, pledged to
the principle of European unity,
has taken a keen interest in the
treaty. Americans probably saved
it from abandonment six weeks
ago when they mediated differ
ences between West Germany and
France.
Some $50 newsmen and camera
men were on hand at the signing.
Besides DR.. Adenauer, the signers
were Schuman, who proposed the
idea 81 days less than a year ago;
Paul van Iceland of Belgium,
Count Carlo Sforza of Italy, Jo-
seph Bech of Luxembourg and
Dirk U. Striker of The Neither
lands.
