 There isn't any concise defini- ton of conservatism but the five star general talked at home town news conference here yes terday like a man the average Southern Democrat could go along with on many issues.
 This was particularly true of the handling the candidate for the Republican presidential nomina- ton gave the explosive civil rights issue.
 He said, in effect, that no one can legislate civil rights, adding that the states should decide whe- ther to establish their own Fair Employment Practice Commission.
 Assuming the Republicans pick either Eisenhower or Sen. Taft as their nominee, the party will go into the November campaign with out champion of the compulsory type of FEPC many racial minor ities are demanding as a, test case on civil rights.
 Taft has proposed a voluntary FEPC, with no powers to enforce it's announcements against racial, religious and other discrimination in industrial hirings and firingS.

Russians 10 Retain
Port Arthur as Result
OF Moscow Farley
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Sept. 16.-The Soviet
Union announced today that it is
handing back control of Man
Ichuria's vital Changchun Railway
to Communist China this year, but
that Russia will continue to use
the Manchurian naval base of Port
Arthur-190 miles west of Korea
until Japan signs peace treaty
with the Communists.
The new agreement, announced
here by the Soviet news agency
Tass, came at the conclusion of
top-level Soviet Chinese talks
which have been going on here
since August II.
The lass announcement in
cluded four important points:
/. The new agreement on Port
Arthur, which was occupied by
Soviet forces at the end of World
War II. Under the 30-year Rus
SIAN Chinese treaty of friendship
signed in Moscow on February IA,
1850, the Soviets agreed to get out
of Port Arthur by the end of 1852.
In note published today Red
China's Premier and Foreign
Minister Chou En-lai asked the
Soviets to stay because in the alb
sence of the Japanese peace treaty
with the Communist powers, "con-
ditions have arisen dangerous for
peace and favorable for reitera-
ton of Japanese aggression"
Economic Questions Discussed.
2. A communique said that "im-
portant political and economic
questions concerning the rela-
tons" between the two countries
were discussed. Under the 1850
pact Russia granted China $500
million in credits toward the pur-
chase of materials and equipment
from the Soviet Union. Western
observers had suggested that
China probably was asking for
additional aid because of her ex-
penses in the Korean war.
3. Return of the Changchun
railway by the end of 1852, as
provided in the 1850 agreement.
A separate communique said the
railway would be returned to full
Chinese administration by the end
of this year, without any Russian
payment of compensation for its
use. A mixed Soviet Chinese
commission will handle details of
the handover.
4. The absence of any reference
to the port and rail center Of
Dairen, Is miles east of Port
Arthur. The 1850 treaty provided
that the future of this city (and
presumably of Russia's rights
there) would be considered after
the signing of a japanese peace
treaty. The lack of any mention
of Dairen apparently means the
two nations are standing pat on
this understanding. The city,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-09-16

meanwhile. has been under Chi
neSe administration.
The communique said the ne
gotiations had been conducted by
Prime Minister Stain, Foreign
Minister Andrea Y. Vishinsky and
Trade Minister p. N. Kumykin for
the Soviets.
The Changchun railway is the
shortest rail route from central
Siberia to the Russian, port Of
Vladivostok. It also extends south
to Dairen and Port Arthur.
Stain gave a great banquet in
the Kremlin last night to cele-
brate the end Of the talks, the
first such entertainment since his
1850 banquet in honor of Chinese
Communist Leader Mao Tze-tung.
