Businessmen Told
Hiring Agent for U. 5
Contracts Is Legal
Senate Groups Counsel
Gives Reinsurance on
Five Rercenter, Feurs
By Francis P. Douglas

Despite the opposition to "five
percenters," businessmen were ad-
vised yesterday that they need
not fear hiring an agent to nego-
tiate for them.
This reinsurance was given in a
legal opinion by Robert D. L'Heu-
reux, counsel to the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee on
Defense Production
Mr.. L'Heureux advised the COM
mittee, however. that the company
doing business with the Govern
ment must disclose fully the rela-
tionship between them. If no sin
fiuence peddling" is involved. the
businessman need not be con-
cerned, the attorney said.
Answer to Capehart.
His opinion was published in a
transcript of a hearing held April
4 by the Joint Committee on De-
fense Production. During that
hearing, Senator Capehart, Re-
publican of Indiana. remarked
that there had been so much pub
licity concerning five percenters'
that many businessmen feel it is
illegal to hire some one to go out
and get business for them.
He went on to say that many
small concerns believe it is against
the law to pay some one COM
mission to obtain Government
contracts while they cannot afford
to put some one on the payroll

A great Homecoming celebration
for Gen. Macarthur giving the
people of Washington chance to
pay tribute to the Pacific military
leader started taking shape yester-
day.
The celebration-approved by
the White House and sponsored by
the District Commissioners and a
citizens committee-needed only
a go-ahead signal from the general
himself to move into high gear.
The controversy swirling about
the deposed Far East commander
ceased being an issue in the home

John Russell Young said he had

LONDON, April IA Ernest

a heart attack today, a little over
a month after giving up his post
as Britain's foreign secretary. He
was 10.

secretaries of our country"
For almost II years, with the
exception OF brief period toward
the end of the war, he had been
in the coalition cabinet of Mr..
Churchill and the Labor govern
ment of Prime Minister Attlee.
His health finally broke under the
strain in 1949.
Death Shocks British.
Increasingly frequent illnesses
he suffered from heart trouble,
asthma, high blood pressure and
hemorrhoids-kept him from his
duties at critical times and he
finally accepted on March 9 the
less onerous duties of Lord Privy
Seal.
He was succeeded at the Foreign
Office by Herbert Morrison.
His death came as a shock to the
British. Arthur Deakin. who sue
ceeded him as general secretary
of the big Transport and General
Workers Union. said he talked with
him this morning and 'he was in
perfectly good spirits"
Mr.. Bevin became Ill suddenly

Russell of the Senate committee,
who extended the invitation.
AS for appearing before a joint
meeting of the Senate and House
which now seems assured-Gen.
Macarthur said:
IF such resolutions are ap-
proved, I would regard it a great
honor and distinction to address
the Congress in general terms. ;"
Russell Explains Position.
Senator Russell Immediately re-
piled through military channels.
He pointed out that all members
of the Armed Services Committee
support the move for Gen. Mac
Arthur to address the Congress.
He acknowledged that an invita-
ton to address a joint meeting
of Congress will take prece-
dence" over committee hearings
and he said he understood that
Gen. Macarthur might prefer
that his address to Congress be
in general terms"
But Senator Russell emphasized
that members of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee ''have definite re-
sponsibilities in the field of ma
tional. defense" and added:
please inform me as promptly
as possible what dates subsequent
to April Is will be convenient for
you to meet with the committee. I"
Welcoming Ceremonies Planned.
The invitation from Senator
Russell, sent on Friday, requested
Gen. Macarthur to appear be-
fore closed meeting of the COM
mittee Ito give your views on the
military situation in the Far East
and the circumstances leading up
to your relief from your several
commands in that area
The exchange of messages was
made public by Senator Russell
as the furore over President Tru-
mans drastic action in dismissing
Gen. Macarthur from command
continued unabated and massive
welcoming ceremonies for the de-
posed General began to take shape
here, in New York and in San
Francisco.
Gen. Macarthur was scheduled
to leave Tokyo tonight on the first
leg of his journey home-his first
visit in IA years. According to
plans announced in Tokyo, Gen.
Macarthur and his party, includ-
ing his wife and son, Arthur, IA,
will make a 24-hour stop in Hawaii
for rest.
The general is scheduled to ar
rive in San Francisco Tuesday af-
ternoon and to continue eastward
on Wednesday.
Time of Arrival Uncertain.
Just when he is ex>>cted to ar
rive in Washington remained un-
certain. Some Republican sources
said they expect the general to fly
directly from the West Coast to
Washington. In that event Wash
ington's reception for him might
be held Wednesday afternoon.
Other sources said that Gen.
MacArthur's tentative plan" was
to arrive at New York's Interna-
tional Airport Thursday afternoon
from the West Coast in response
to an invitation from Mayor Vim
cent r. Impelliterri.
It also was said that Gen. Mac
Arthur, if he goes to New York
first, would fly back to Washing
ton for his proposed speech to the
joint meeting of the House and
Senate.

Hirohito Pays
First Social Call
On Macarthur
General to Confer
With Dulles Before
Flight to U. S.
By the Associated Press


TOKYO. Sunday. April is
Emperor Hirohito today paid an
unprecedented social call on Gen.
Macarthur.
He drove through a throng of
Iawed Japanese to the American
Embassy for possibly his last meet
ing with the man who has run his
country since the japanese sur
render in 1945.
The Emperor and Gen. Mac
Arthur had met 10 times previous
ly. But this was the first real So
Icial meeting of the Emperor and
the ousted occupational COM
mander.
Gen. Macarthur otherwise spent
his last day in Japan in quiet Sc
Iclusion. He, his family and aides
viii leave by plane at am. to-
morrow Is pm. E. S. T., today
for the United States.
To Confer With Dulles.
Hirohito drove through the
Iwhite-walled embassy gates at
noon. He sat stiff1y in the back
seat of a green Cadillac with the
16-petal chrysanthemum imperial
seal on the radiator.
The crowd got only a fleeting
glimpse of the diminutive monarch
Ias he tipped his black homburg in
greeting.
Last-minute talks on the pro-
posed Japanese peace treaty were
scheduled for Gen. Macarthur
tonight before his departure.
Ambassador John Foster Dulles
hurried his trip from Washington
to seek what he called the wise
counsel of the deposed occupa-
tion commander on a treaty for
Japan.
Gen. Macarthur and his party
win leave Tokyo tomorrow morn
ing and arrive in San Francisco
Tuesday. The Generals arrival in
the United States was postponed
to permit a 24-hour stopover in
Honolulu.
Gen. Macarthur had said many
times he would be reluctant to
leave Japan until his job-suc-

tion-was finished. He leaves be-

but Mr.. Dulles was hurrying here
for an eleventh-hour conference.
Mr.. Dulles is a Republican ad-
wiser on foreign policy with rank
of ambassador. For months he
has been in conference with Allied
powers trying to arrange an early
Japanese treaty.
MIR. Dulles is expected to arrive
in Tokyo at 8 pm. Is am. EST
today. He planned to confer with
Gen. Macarthur Immediately.
The General is spending quiet
week end at home with his family.
1t. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
who is taking over all of Gen.
MacArthur's commands, flew here
from the Korean battlefields last
night and announced there would
be mo change in basic policy"
Gen Ridgway, formery a para
troop commander, was wearing
his battle fatigue uniform-but
without the now-famous hand
grenade taped to his shoulder.
Gen. Ridgway praised Gen.
MacArthur's leadership and said
he would press for an early con-
clusion of a peace treaty for
Japan.
Van Fleet Arrives.

Price Increases Add
ST. Million 10 City's
Building Costs in YeaI
Budget Office Reports
Funds Eormorked for
Items Are Far Short
By Horriet Griffiths

Increased costs have raised the
price tag on the Districts building
construction schedule through
next fiscal year by $3.710,85o,
Budget oficer Walter L. Fowler
reported yesterday.
The commissioners had asked
the budget office to study and
report on the extent to which
the funds originally earmarked
for the work had been left behind
by the inflationary trend.
The projects studied include
those authorized for this fiscal
year. but not vet under contract,
and those requested by the Com
Imissioners in the 1852 budget
proposal awaiting hearings by
Congress.
Nine Schools Covered.
Mr.. F'owler's calculation does
not include highway sewer or
water production facilities.
It covers nine schools or addi-
tions, the Cleveland Park Public
Library building. pump house and
electrical changes at Glenn Dale
Sanatorium, elevators and paving
and drainage work at Gallinger
Hospital. the Home for the Aged
and Infirm, kitchen for the In
dustrial Home School for colored
children. utilities at the District
Training School, the Industrial
Home School for white children
and the Sewage Treatment Plant.
Present contract authoriza-
tions or amounts requested for
these projects total $12,182, 100.
Revised in the light of present
cost estimates, the figure jumps
to $15.892 $50.
Specifications Trimmed.
The new total takes into ac-
count the restoration OF items
eliminated from contracts let on
three schools-River Terrace Ele-
mentary, Douglass Junior High
and Terrell Junior High-which
would cost $255.000.
School officials were forced to
trim down the specifications in
order to let the contracts under
available funds. In addition, $12S,-
$50 was transferred from other
appropriations to meet the Dou-
glass and Terrell building costs.
Mr.. Fowler said he did not know
what would be done to meet the
situation. While there will be
some increased revenues this year,
including $5o0,000 more in the
estimated yield of the sales tax,
he said they probably would not
meet the increase in construction
expense. =
He added that the 1852 budget
estimates are based on a full $12
million Federal payment to the
District. The amount was cut to
$t0.8 million this fiscal year.
Other officials indicated, how
