U.S.-CREEK AGREEMENT
REVEALED IN DRIVE TO
STOP RED FREE TRADE

"a the Canadian and II the
British.
Since the U. S. Constitution
makes the President responsible
for the conduct Of foreign affairs,
McCarthy's move raised a con-
| stitutional question. It was not
clear whether a senatorial subcom.
mittee, in bypassing the executive
branch of government to negotiate
an agreement with foreigners, had
infringed upon this presidential
prerogative.
There was no comment from the
White House or State Department.
81 didn't want any interference
by anyone Mccarthy replied
when reporters asked if he had
informed the State Department or
any other government agency
about the negotiations.
Later in New York Mccarthy
said he felt President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State Dulles
"will be pleased" He said another
$50 ships may be covered by to-
morrow under similar agreements.
Members of McCarthy's subcom-
mittee, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike, said they had not seen
the agreement in advance. How
ever, Senator'S Mundt (R-SD) and
Mcclellan DARK said they were
aware of staff work leading to it.
Senator'S Potter (R-Mich) and Jack.
son (D-Wash) said that, although
the announcement was a surprise,
they approved of the agreement.
Mccarthy made his announce
ment at an unusual news confer
ence in the subcommittee's hear
ing room. The public was admitted,
as well as reporters. The confer
ence was filmed for television
broadcast later.
Obviously jubilant, Mccarthy
called the shipping agreement a
major blow against the Commu-
nists. He said he had been told
that "this viii have a very, very
demoraliZing effect on the Chinese
economy and their efforts to wage
war"
Mccarthy said the agreement
was worked out with Manuel Kulu-
kundis, president of the Greek ship
owners New York committee. He
said similar but separate agree
ment was entered into with Stavrcs
Livanos, described as the operator
of So of the 242 ships but not a
member Of the New York com
mittee.
Livanos' attorney, Donald D.
Geary, said in New York his client
readily agreed to stop trading with
China. Geary said LivanoS' bust

has been a subject Of controversy

Reporters were curious about
why the ship owners entered into

said would cost them 4 lot Of
money.

committee was the use in trade

Mccarthy Says
His Committee
Has Effected
Similar Pact
BY JOHN CHADWICK

WASHINGTON IN - An agree
meBt between the U. S. and Greek
governments - Independent Of a
similar move announced by Sen.
Mccarthy (R-Wis) - has been dis
closed in the drive to cut off free
world trade with Iron Curtain
countries.
An American official said the
Greek government within the past
10 days had agreed to ban such
shipments by Greek ships flying
the Greek nag. The Greek gov
eminent decree, it was understood,
would not affect Greek-owned ships
which sail under the colors Of other
countries.
This disclosure last night came
n the wake of McCarthy's an
nouncement to a news conference
Saturday that his Senate investi-
cations subcommittee staff had
negotiated an agreement with the
Greek owners of 242 merchant
ships To break off all trade with
NoFth Korea and Communist China.
Mccarthy mentioned the Greek
government decree then, but he
said it had yet to be ratified by
the Greek Parliament. And he said
his action went "far beyond" it.
McCarthy's subcommittee today
called 1 hearing on Iron Curtain
trading, but the inquiry appeared
% have been bobtailed by McCar-
thy's announcement of the agree
ment with the ship owners. Pre-
vious plans had been to stress ac-
tivities Of the Greek-owned ships.
Summoned as witnesses were
Harold E. Stassen, director of the
Mutual Security Administration,
and Frank C. Nash, assistant sec.
rotary of defense.
Mccarthy said Saturday that his
agreement, negotiated without con-
sultation with the Eisenhower ad-
ministration, provided that the
Greek ship owners would not ''car-
ry cargoes Of any type from one
Communist port to another In any
part Of the world"
The Greek governments action.
IS reported here, was understood
TO apply only 10 ships flying the
Grpek Nag. Officials said the
Greek government could take no
action against vessels owned by
Greeks but operating under the
flags OF other countries.

Associated Press Foreign News Analyst
A rising tempo of oppressive
measures against workers and
farmers in the Soviet hinterland
indicates that a frightened re-
gime sits in power in the Krem-
lin today.
Communist party leaders have
been instructed to tighten the
screws on workers and peasants
in all the 16 Soviet republics to
wiring out a maximum of pro-
duction at a minimum of cost.
And the Soviet press makes it
clear that these orders extend
to satellite Eastern Europe.

Chances are that while the

The latter will be aimed at Great

Annapolis, June l3.-Civilian
Residents of a Federal reserva-
tion near Frederick today lost
their bid for Maryland voting
rights In the Court Of Appeals
The court ruled that a Freder-
lex County Circuit Court acted
properly in refusing to render
opinions on the number of ques-
tions asked.
The 800 families Of Camp De-
trick, through four actual plain
tiffs. had contended that their
status represented taxation
without representation"
However. the Appeals Court
said it cannot deal with the
matter until actual controversy
is shown.
The opinion said the parties
had not shown any actual con-
fiict with the State officials
named as defendants.

''The election laws prescribe
the qualifications for registering

plea to Congress, contending the
questions are not judicial but

Can those suffering from mental

Motion in Assembly.
Maryland's court of last resort
said it could not give answers

It said that a declaratory judg-
