5-Naiion Group Urges
Far East Trade Curbs
As Part Of World Plan
BY ,he Assoeia,ed Pres.

A five-power conference agreed
yesterday that controls over Jap
Ianese trade with Communist
China and other Red nations
should be co-ordinated with other
free world trade restrictions.
| As result, japanese represent
Iatives will take part in trade dis
Icussions by a free world committee
lin Paris.
The decision, in effect, will
broaden the scope of the Paris
committees interest to include
trade controls in the Far East as
well as European trade.
A formal announcement made
by the representatives of Japan,
Britain, France, Canada and the
United States did not spell out
the exact nature Of the agreement
but did say that recommendations
are being made to "other inter-
|ested governments" These gov
Iernments are the members of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion, plus West Germany, which
make up the Paris Committee.
One Of the basic questions
raised by yesterdays decision is
whether it will result in any
change in the rigid restrictions on
Japanese commerce with Com
munist Asia. which we're imposed
during the occupation. These
curbs were continued after Japan
gained its independence earlier
this year.
State Department Press Officer
Lincoln White told reporters the
conference here did not discuss
the level Of controls over Japan's
trade with the Red bloc. The
meeting was solely concerned, he
said. with the question of ma
Ichinery for co-ordinating Japa-
neSe policy in this field with that
Of the rest Of the free world.

The State Department is plan
ming a formal appeals procedure
for Americans who may be denied
passports for travel abroad be-
cause Of alleged prot Communist
activity. it was learned yesterday.
The new procedure, designed to
meet criticism that some passport
applications have been turned
down arbitrarily without due proc
ess. is expected to be announced
this week.
1t provides that any citizen who
does not admit he is a Communist
may present his case before a
three member Appeal Board if he
thinks he has been refused a pass
port unjustly.
The Appeal Board would be ap-
pointed by the Secretary of State
from among department officials
outside the Passport Division. A
majority decision by the board
would be final.
Admitted Communists would not
have any right of appeal.
System to be Revised.
Creation of the appeal board
lis the major new development in
Ia proposed complete revision of
the system for handling doubtful
passport applications.
The revision was undertaken
after Senator Morse, Republican.
|of Oregon, charged two months
ago that Americans were being
denied the right to travel abroad
without a "fair hearing and re-
|view."
Asserting that the Passport
Division was exercising "tyranni-
cal and capricious power" Sena-
tor Morse demanded that its de-
|cisions be made subject to a re-
view board set up outside the
State Department.
Secretary Of State Acheson de-
Tended the passport operation in
q June 18 news conference, as
serting "there has been no arbi-
trary action Of any Sort" But
he announced that procedures
were being reviewed and If any
Improvements" could be found
they would be put into effect.
The review has brought recon-
mendations which. officials said,
largely formalize what the Pass
port Division has been doing, ex-
|cept for creation Of the Appeal
Board outside that division.
Three Phases Of Action.
The proposals provide for three
phases of action on doubtful pass
port applications.
The first phase involves q deci-
sion whether to issue the passport
or tentatively refuse it on the
basis of all available pertinent in
formation in Government files
about the applicant.
The second phase comes into
play when there is a tentative
refusal. It involves these steps:
1. Informing the applicant why
he is tentatively denied a pass
port.
2. Telling the applicant he may

|DriscoII's Aid Asked
In Hog Disease Fight
BY the Associated Press

Chairman Cooley Of the House
Agriculture Committee yesterday
urged Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll Of
New Jersey to cooperate with the
Agriculture Department in efforts
to eradicate an epidemic of vesi-
|cular exanthema in hogs.
Mr.. Cooley told reporters he
will make a similar appeal to other
governors. He said the disease ex-
lists in is States, endangering the
Nations pork supply.
The outbreak could easily re-
suit in substantial increases in
prices of pork and pork products.
Mr.. Cooley said in telegram to
Gov. DriScoll.
He said New Jersey apparently
was one of the focal pionts of in
lection. He added hogs from the
State recently had been shipped
into North Carolina and were
held under quarantine there.

Modest Success Cited
IN Steering Arms Jobs
To Distress Areas
By the Assoeioted Press


The Government yesterday re-
ported modest success in steering
defense contracts to distress
areas" and little if any evidence
that 1t was merely shifting the
unemployment elsewhere.
The Office of Defense Mobiliza-
tion released results of the first
three months of its program un-
der which firms in labor r-surplus
cities obtain military orders merely
by matching prices offered else
where.
The plan has been criticized in
several cases as transferring the
unemployment" from preferences
areas to cities not on the DISTRESS
list.
The issue right now is a hot one
In shipbuilding. California build
ers protest that their yards, which,
they say are in depressed condi-|
ton, have lost contracts to New
York after entering the low bids.
The Navy took the bids to Ship
builders in preference areas" and
New York yards got the jobs.
May Exempt Shipbuilding.
The Californians complain that
whereas. New York has unemploy-
ment in other industries, its boat
yards are busy. ODM will start
hearings on the complaint this
week and may end by exempting
shipbuilding from the preference
policy.
But ODM's manpower director,
Or. Arthur S. Flemming, told a.
reporter that the volume of con-
tracts placed in hardship areas by
price-matching has been too small
to affect employment elsewhere
materially. Even so. the program
has helped to lift six cities from
the distress category, he said.
Contracts worth $38, ,783, ,902 were
channeled by the price-making
device to New York, New England,
Michigan and other distress areas
in the three months ended in
June. This was only two and two
thirds per cent of the total of
$780.927.173 in military contracts
awarded in the hardship areas,
and less than one-third of one
per cent Of total military buying
In that period.
Cities Off Distress List.
The distress" tag meantime was
taken of Detroit. Flint, Grand
Rapids and Bay City. Mich, Mum
Gle. Ind, and Reading, Pa. mean
ing that their unemployment had
dropped below the six per cent
level. Forty-six cities now remain
on the labor surplus list, entitled
to contract preference.
Mr.. Flemming said the records
indicate no case of a city being
dropped into the hardship cate
CORY by the shifting of defense
work elsewhere.

arrest without Capt. Murphy's
foreknowledge.
Capt. Monroe, as well as Sergt.
James E. Beach and Corpl. Rob-
ert w. Smith, refused on the
other hand, to give Capt. Murphy
information he demanded in con-
nection with the alleged gambling
activities of William T. Whitehead
In the 14th precinct.
Sergt. Beach contended he was
transferred to school crossing du-
ties because he tried to make
gambling cases. Corpl. Smith
made the same charge to the
subcommittee, and added that he
believed he was shifted p the
Riot Squad for punishment.

sure was warranted. the board
said, because the charge reflected
on the integrity of his suprior
officers"
On the refusal Of Capt. Mon
roe and Sergt. Beach to give their
captain information. the board
ruled that while Capt. Murphy
should have taken disciplinary ac-
ton at the time, it is now too late.
The board bore down on Capt.
Murphy for failing to discipline
the two men for refusing to supply
the demanded information, and
also censured him for failing to be
more specific in telling his men
why he wanted the information.
In Capt. Murphy's favor, how
ever, the board ruled that the
complaints of Sergt. Beach and
Corpl. Smith against Capt. Muir
ply were unfounded.
It also was found that Capt.
Murphy was not on friendly terms
with the gambling suspect, White
head, and that the captains order
ito return money seized from
Whitehead was proper since it
was personal property having no
status as evidence.
An implication that Capt. Muir
ply knew Robert L. Nowland, for
mer partner of Charles e. Nelson,
convicted numbers operator, was
|refuted by the board. Nowland's
name had appeared on an appli-
cation of the police official to
join a fraternal organization. But
lit was brought out that Nowland
was merely chairman of the men,
bership committee Of the organi-
Ization, not the captains sponsor,
Still dealing with gambling ac-
tivities in the 14th Precinct under
Capt. Murphy's regime, the board
declared that while the COM
mander's record for gambling law
enforcement could not be con-
sidered imposing" his lack Of en-
forcement "can only be ascribed
to the fact that he was q new
precinct commander and lacked
experience"
It was pointed out In this con-
nection that Capt. Murphy had
no definite policy" to guide men,
bers Of the precinct. He required
his force "to depend upon their
preliminary police training and
headquarters vice orders to cope
with the situation" the board de-
clared.
Nonetheless, no evidence was
adduced to indicate that Capt.
Murphy Gin any way attempted to
impede the prosecution" Of the
numbers case that Capt. Monroe
and Sergt. Beach based their COM
plants on.

be asked at this stage to swear
Ito statement that he is not and
never was a Communist. II he
admits he is a Communist, his
passport is automatically denied
with no further appeal. But ii
he Swears he is not Communist

5. Consultation with geographic
and security officials of the de-
partment before another decision
The third phase involves the
formal hearing. If the decision
after the exploratory hearing still
is to deny the passport, the ap-
plicant would be informed of the
privilege to appeal to the three
man board.
The boards hearings would be
conducted with most Of the for
mality of a court. Witnesses
would be sworn and a transcript
taken. The applicant could be
represented by counsel and could
file a brief in addition to testifying
in person.
Provision for Denial.
Except in unusual circum-
stances, where the overriding ma
tional interest requires otherwise,
passports would be denied, revoked
or limited when it is determined
that the applicant is:

abroad which would violate United
