Red China Hurries
18 Men 10 Moscow
Headed by Premier
BY the Assoeiofed Press


TOKYO. Sunday, Mar. 8. =
Communist China hurried a
high ranking 18-Member dele
cation headed by Premier Chou
En-lai off to Moscow by plane
yesterday while the Red army
in Korea pledged support to the
Soviet Union in a fight to final
victory"
Gen. Peng Teh-huai, COM
mander of the 100000 or more
Chinese Red troops in Korea.
messaged Moscow his men Gin
memory of great Stain will
turn their sorrow into strength" ."
In an obviously directed state
ment, Peng declared the Chinese
and Korean Red armies would
IDEAL the enemy still heavier
blows if he dares engage in any
adventures" and threatened
"ignominious defeat" to any
allied offensive.
No Comment on Malenkov.
Peng said the Chinese people
and the army he commands will
stand alongside the people of
the great Soviet Union and
fight to final victory in defense
of a lasting peace in the east
and the rest of the world"
The Red broadcast, monitored
by the Associated Press in Tokyo,
devoted almost its entire news
cast to Stalin's death but gave
only the bare text of the Tass
announcement that Georgi M.
Malenkov had succeeded to Sta
Inns powers. There was no ccm-
ment on this
Instead, a long series of mes
sages emphasized grief at Stall
ms death and the need for con-
tinuing to follow closely Stain s
policies in Red China.
Mao Stays at Home.
Red China's leader, Mao Tee
tung. and leading members, OF
his regime called on the Soviet
Ambassador in Peiping, Alex
ander Panyushkin, to express
condolences in person.
However, Mao remained in
] China and did not head the dele
cation to Moscow
The economic, military and
diplomatic caliber of Chou En-
lai's delegation suggested it was
high enough to conduct Sino-
Russian talks in all three fields
although there has been no an
nouncement that such talks
would take place.
China has geared itself to a
policy of close economic collah-
grafton with Russia this year,
particularly in starting a five
year plan, and there was evil
IDENTIFY concern in Peiping on
how that program might be af-
fected with new leadership.

Appointment of v. M. Molotov
as foreign minister in Georgi
Malenkov'S new Soviet govern
ment is regarded by top United
States officials as move to-
ward giving Russia a more ag-
greSsive foreign policy.
While none in high position
here could say how or in what
area Russia's steady pressure for
Communist expansion might be
intensified, the tendency of the
best informed officials was to
look for possible trouble in the
Middle East. That vulnerable
area is of great Importance to
the West and even before Stalin's
death the Soviets had begun to
WOO the Arabs with propaganda.
President Eisenhower, Secre-
tary ef State Dulles and British
Foreign Secretary Eden have
been reviewing the possible ef-
fects of the Russian government
reorganization. They are re-
ported to agree that for the mo-
ment the Western powers should
sit tight. avoiding any action
which might be considered either
provocative or softening their
determination to defend the free
world.
Russian Situation Reviewed.
A communique on the British
American talks issued yesterday
affirmed that the Russian situa-
ton had been reviewed, saying
that the principals exchanged
views regarding developments in
the Soviet Union"
While authorities now believe
the Kremlin may embark on a
more aggressive pursuit of its
foreign policy aims, they do not
look for any quick. basic change
in those aims. After all, the men
who are now in the forefront in
Russia were close to Premier
Stain and presumably were de-
cisively influenced by his policies.
Malenkov himself, so far as
factual information and first
hand impressions go, is almost
an unknown quantity. Many
Americans consider him to be
hater of the West. Some British
experts regard him as primarily
Soviet iSolationist. Presumably,

miss Hoeyls Honored
By Social Workers on
ederaI Retirement

Miss Jane Hoey, who was fired
recently from her position as di-
rector Of the Public Assistance
Bureau of the Department of
Health. Education and Welfare,
last night was honored follow
ing her formal retirement from
Government service.
She was presented with a
scroll by members of the District
Chapter of the American As
Sociation of Social Workers, Of
which she was a longtime mem
ber. The presentation, by Philip
Schiff, speaking for the group,
took place at a meeting of the
association in Pierce Hall, Six
teenth and Harvard streets NV.
The scroll commended Miss
Hoey, among other things, for
cher commitment to the service
of the needy" her dedication
to the profession of social work"
and because, she has been so
renowned as citizen, adminiS-
traitor, educator, leader, COM
munity organizer and civil serv-
ant"
Representatives of the Schools
of Social Work of both Catholic
and Howard Universities were
present, as well as other persons
from professional associations.
Miss Hoey was fired from the
Government, after 18 years of
service, to make way for the
appointment of an "administra-
ton representative" She told
reporters she is a registered
Democrat but has never been
politically active. She had pro-
tested preliminary moves to dis
miss her on the grounds that her
position was a policy making
post. She maintained it was
merely a policy-recommending
job.
Last night she decried the
idea of appointing persons to
professional jobs on the basis of
politics.
A panel discussion on juvenile
delinquency, following the pat
tern now prevalent with groups
throughout the city, preceded
the meeting. Participants were
Miss Winifred Thompson, staff
aide to the commissioners Youth
Council; Ferdinand Grayson of
the United Community Services,
and Paul Cherney, also Of the
Youth Council.

NEW YORK. May 22.-Retail

Merchants generally had larg-

Resistance to the decline was
shown in many sections OF the

The distillers were favored
with some gains of major frac-
tions. They did well yesterday,
too. They are getting the bene-
fit of a few price increases and
indications of better tax treat
ment in Washington.
