Couzenko Recommends Governments Offer Inducements For Red Spies In U. s. and Canada to Quit Communism

D WASHINGTON, R-Igor Gou- zenko, whose testimony cracked a Soviet spy ring in Canada, says he thinks there may be hundreds of Red agents operating in the United States.
 And he recommended, in copyrighted interview with the magazine US. News and World Report made public Monday, that the government make it worth while for some of them to quit and come out with their docu- mentS."
 That is what Gouzenko himself did in 1925. He was then a code clerk in the Russian embassy in Ottawa. He smuggled out docu- ments which led to the cracking of an atomic espionage ring.
 Gouzenko, asked to. estimate how many Soviet agents might be working in the United States now, replied:
 T think it might run into hun dreds. As some indication, they spend several million dollars in telegrams alone"
 Many of these agents, he said, work through rings, perhaps with embassy contacts, and others are 'agent residents (who) would work independently and have di- rect contact with Moscow by radio"
 Among both types, Gouzenko said, "There are some who learn to like the way people are treated in the United States and Canada" He said there are Russians who, if assured fair treatment, would break with Communism as he did. He advocated five-point pro- gram to encourage such defections among Red agents. It would in clude CD prompt US. or Canadian citizenship, (2) lifelong protection, (3 material security, (N help in finding employment, and (5) for nal acknowledgements 'ethat his service V. entitled him all assist ance and help"
 Gouzenko was asked to give his appraisal of the work of Sen. Mo Carthy, chairman of the Senate Investigations subcommittee and for years controversial figure because of his searches for Com munists in government.
 'I think he is doing good job," Gouzenko said, But he would do a much better job, ob- viously, if he had documentary evidence. But in his job he is doing the right thing because he is bringing into the open many things which many people are trying to use as excuses and pre- texts ..
 "I think we should help to make his work better than it is."

PAGEANT
OF PRICELESS
TREASURES
By Elizabeth Evans

you have visited the greatest ia
panese art exhibit ever to leave the
shores of Japan, be sure you get
your ballot, study the collection and
enter your vote. The results of Sc
attle's voting will be tabulated and
sent OF Seiichiro Takahashi, head OF
the Commission for the Preserva-
ton of Cultural Properties in Tokyo!
/ Here are the results of the first
weeks balloting:
No. 1-Pine Trees in Snow. BY
Maruyama Okyo 1t is pair of six
panel screens. CThis has been my
own top favorite since the day I
saw it installed before the museum
was opened to the public; I'd like to
look at it for hours)
No. 2-Monkeys in the Bamboo
, Grove. BY Hasegawa Tohaku. This
is another pair of six fold screens.
B No. 3-Peonies and Plum Trees
by the Brushwood Fence. BY Kaiho
Yusho. This is still another pair of
six fold screens.
No. 1.-The pair of demon Ian
tern bearers that grace the en-
trance on each side of the muse
um's central court. Made of wood,
they were sculptured by Koben.
No. 5-Ama- mo Hashidate. This
is 18th century landscape scroll
by Sesshu.
So the screens seem to be the
favorites but it is interesting that
sculpture and scrolls came into the
voting, too.
! We received newspaper clipping
from Tokyo the other day. 1t was a
detailed story from that city's lar
gest English language daily, telling
about the series of five educational
art exhibit television shows that
Kings Community Workshop,
KING TV, is presenting every Mon
day from 2 to 2:30 pm. during the
month of the exhibit here. The u
nited States Information Service
had picked up the story in Seattle
and sent it out all over the world.
The note from an anonymous TV
viewer who sent us the clipping
stated, Thought you might like to
see how far Seattle's fame is sprea-
ding"
We liked it very much; we also
like everythngi else about the great
success of the exhibit here and the
better understanding that We are
sure it gives of another nations
culture. For through their arts,
perhaps better than any other way,
men can learn that all peoples are
truly brothers.

Equal Consideration
Sought by JAd

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 30
(JACL)-Urging equal consideration
for persons of japanese ancestry
both those in the United States and
in Japan, Mike Masaoka, Washing
ton representative of the Japanese
American Citizens League, testified
last week before the Special Senate
Judiciary subcommittee on Trading
with the Enemy Act
The subcommittee chairman is
Senator Everett Mckinley Dirksen
CR., III.
Pointing out that four of the five

Germany were the principal enc
mics of this country. Today. by the
vicissitudes of international desti-
MES, the United States looks to ia
pan and West Germany as bulwarks
of our democratic frontiers in Asia
and Europe, which we seek to en-
large and extend. The United

the return of vested property TO the
nationals of these countries, is to
invite unnecessarily tension and
misunderstanding. Such diserimi-
nation would also play into the
hands of our present enemy, the
Communists, who would feature
this slight as another indication of
Americas hostility to the Japanese
and the Asians," the JACL official
said.
I'VE are not here suggesting that
Japan is more important than Ger
many; we are suggesting, neverthe-
less, that preferential treatment of
Germany over Japan in this kind of
situation will result in ill-will and
antag0nisms that will make ii far
more difficult for our friends in ia
pan to keep her as our ally in the
Pacific and to cooperate with our
various programs for building up
the defenses of the free world.
THE few million dollars involved
certainly are not worth the risk of
losing or alternating Japan, which is
just as much the key to Asia's flu

Masaoka declared.
Senator Dirksen replied that nei-

knowingly discriminate against the
japanese or any other people. He
mentioned his recent survey mission

Japanese Art
Exhibit Attracts
Large Crowds
BY MURIEL THURBER
Publicity, Seattle Art Museum

Crowds have been flocking into
the Seattle Art Museum to see the
Pageant of Priceless Treasures.
Everyone seems to like a differ
ent one of the scrolls and screens.
One of the most popular is the
Scroll of Animals which unrolls to
make moving picture" painted by
famous priest known as Tobo So
no, 18th century Walt Disney.
Frogs and rabbits are shown wear
ing funny clothes, competing in con-
tests, and in one scene, even splash
ing each other and bathing in a
stream The children love this sto-
ry-telling scroll as we'll as a six
fold screen which shows three furry
monkeys in big tree.
There is something to fascinate
everyone in the collection of fabu-
lous treasures: for sailors, there is
storm tossed boat with a beautiful
view of a land-locked harbor; for
climbers and lovers, there's
every kind of ragged cliff and beau
tiful waterfall and mountain trail;
for fishermen, there are streams;
for gardeners, there are detailed
sketches of their favorite flowers;
for interior decorators. there are E.
legant screens and fresh modern"
sorts of arrangements of furniture
pictured; and for bird lovers, there
is pair of screens, each showing
nine birds, all of which many visi-
tors can't even find.
Only ten days in before Sc
attic will have to send this great
exhibition on to Chicago and Bos-
ton. The response has already been
terrific to the greatest and most va
luable collection of art treasures e.
yer assembled and no Seattle resi-
dent will want to miss this Seafair
event. The Seattle Art Museum in
Volunteer Park will be open from
II am. to pm. daily through
Aug. 9.

Several times this last two weeks
I've parked my car as close as l
could to the Seattle Art Museum in
Volunteer Park so I could observe
the crowds going and coming to the
great exhibit of japanese art now
on display until Aug 9. Always,
there are Japanese museum goers-
some of them young, some of them
old-but all of them obviously en-
joying the experience. Some come
in family groups; others come sing
ly. But there is no doubt that the
Japanese Observation-Disclosures of
them-of Seattle and its surround
ing area are visiting the museum
One of the cashiers at the en-
trance says that many of the Japa-
nese visitors, particularly the older
ones, have come to see the collect
ion more than once. Some of them
have come over and over again.
The Seattle Art Museum staff is
proud of the way that Seattle has
taken this priceless collection to its
its heart Never has any art exhibit
here approached the success of this
one if attendance figures are a
guage of popularity. And the 1000
catalogues ordered by DR.. Richard
E. Fuller, museum president, to last
all month, are already sold This is
exceptional for a catalogue that is
rather expensive-$2.50
And there's the interesting result
of voting for favorite pieces in the
collection. Beginning last week,
every adult museum goer has been
given ballot asking him to record
the number or description of the
piece he likes above all others. If

5 Pct. of Applicants
For Marriage Fail
To Pick Up License

Five per cent of the persons
who filed applications for mar
riage licenses here this year
didn't come back to get them.
This was indicated in figures
at the marriage license bureau
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia for the
first IL months.
Statistics showed tn at Of
1927 applications, only 8,149 liz
censes we're issued-a difference
of 478.
A bureau attache suggested
some of those who don't come
back to get their licenses might
get married elsewhere.
In one case. it was recalled, a
man of foreign birth had waited
% years from the date of filing
the application before coming
back for the license. 1t turned
out he was unfamiliar with the
English language. He thought
he had gone through all the ne
cessary steps by merely filing
the application. The man had
married and was raising a family
when he went back to pick up
the license.
