For Pacts With Reds,
Stevenson Reveals
Could Ease Tensions
He Says After Talks
With Eisenhower

The Eisenhower administra-
ton is weighing the possibility
of negotiating non-aggression
pacts between the Soviet and
the Western countries as means
of easing tensions in Europe.
This position was outlined at
a news conference late yesterday

by Adlai E. Stevenson, after he
talked to President Eisenhower
and other officials about his re-
cent world trip.
The President is Every much
interested" in the pact idea, and
said that the State Department
is studying this approach as we'll
as others, in an effort to work
out a solution of the Russian
situation, the 1852 Democratic
presidential candidate told re-
porters as he prepared to leave
for New York after a White
House luncheon.
At the State Department off,
cialS said today a non-aggression
treaty is being considered as one
of several possible alternative
methods for reducing tension
with Russia. But they empha-
sized that it is by no means the
only possibility under study and
that no final decision has been
made about the idea. They said
it was in the stage where the
pros and cons were being looked
at from every conceivable angle.
Test of Sincerity.
Mr.. Stevenson said that if
Russia were unwilling to accept
the proposal, "it would be rather
apparent that her peaceful pre-
tentions are not as sincere as
they might be-"
To offer Russia these guaran-
tees. Mr.. Stevenson said, also
would have the additional ad-
vantage of letting the Western
world regain" the offensive in
the peace maneuvers.
1t would put the Russians on
the spot with regard to their
intentions, he said.
Suggested in Chicago Talk.
Mr.. Stevenson suggested the
pacts as a means of weakening
the Russian argument that the
West is a threat to the Soviet
and her satellites, when he spoke
in Chicago at the conclusion of
his trip.
Some Republicans charged at
the time that he was preaching
"appeasement," but he said yes
terday that Gen. Eisenhower
doesn't feel that way about it.
Mr. Stevenson said the Presi-
dent asked him a number of
questions about the countries he
had visited and he, in turn, got
some information about the
hydrogen bomb that he did not
have.
No Secrets Revealed.
In response to a reporters
query, he said that he had not
gotten any information on any
subject, during his talks with
the President, that could not be
discussed.
After the news conference, Mr..
Stevenson talked briefly for
neWsreel cameras, and said that
President Eisenhower had ex-
pressed appreciation for Demo-
cratic support in the last session
of Congress.
Mr.. Stevenson visited the
White House in response to an
invitation rendered at the ti11ra
he was leaving for his world
tour.
He met Gen. Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles pri-
vately for half-hour before
the stag luncheon.

Lewis Wins Fight
To Keep Forbes as
Mines Bureau Chief
Coal Operators Reported
Booking Union Chief
In Retoinine OfficioI
By jones Y. Newton

John L. Lewis today apparently
had persuaded the administra-
ton to retain his choice as head
of the Federal Bureau of Mines
after baking efforts to bring a
new man on the job.
At the Interior Department, it
was said that John j. Forbes.

>--~----~~-~-~-
an appointee of former Presi-
dent Truman, would remain as
Mines Bureau chief, at least for
the time being. And if Mr..
Forbes has to be replaced, it was
said, Mr.. Lewis has been given
assurance that he would get
preview of the new choice to see
if he meets with his approval.
Mr.. Lewis fought har b during
the Truman administrati ion to get
Mr.. Forbes the job. which falls
under the Interior Secretary.
More recently he fought just as
hard to keep him in the job.
Pension Blocked Lyon.
Last June, President Eisen-
hover designated Tom Lyon, a
copper mining expert from
Utah, to succeed Mr.. Forbes.
Mr.. Lewis pulled out all the
stops in fighting him. Mr..
Lyons name was withdrawn
after it was brought out in a
Senate confirmation hearing that
Mr.. Lyon was receiving revoc-
able pension from a private
corporation.
Mr.. Lewis is said now to have
the support of big coal mining
interests in his fight to keep
Mr.. Forbes in the job. or to
obtain a replacement Satisfac-
tory to him. In return for this
support, Mr.. Lewis is said to
have agreed to help the oper-
ators obtain modification" of
the Federal Coal Mine Safety
Code, under which all the mines
operate.
Talked With Mckay.
Mr.. Lewis and Harry M.
Moses. president of the Bitumi-
nous Coal Operators Associa-
ton, held a lengthy talk with
Secretary of the Interior Mckay
Tuesday. At the department it
was said large number of mat
ters were discussed. including
possibility of undermining the
safety code and the question of
the dictatorship of the Mines
Bureau. Mr.. Moses, however.
denied that Mr.. Forbes name
was mentioned in the conversa-
ton.
Several years ago, Mr.. Lewis
bitterly opposed the appointment
of James Boyd, Mr.. Forbes
predecessor as head of the mines
bureau. He succeeded in keeping
Mr.. Boyd off the Federal pay
roll for two years, but Mr.. Boyd
eventually got the job.
Mr.. Lewis for two months has
been free to terminate the
United Mine Workers work con-
tract with the> coal operators.
But SO far, he has not moved
and has shown no indication of
starting a new drive for higher
pay. The industry has been in a
state of near-depresSion for more
than a year.
1t was understood that that
was one of the major topics
discussed by the UNIV chief and
Mr.. Moses with Secretary
Mckay.

g. 0. P. in New York
Meeting as Wicks
Decries Pressure
By the Associated Press

ALBANY, N. Y. Nov. H.
New York States top Repub-
lican policy-makers meet today
in the face of declaration by
Acting 1t. Gov. Arthur H. Wicks
that the conference was devised
by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and
the State G. o. P. chairman as
a pressure move.
Mr.. WickS' statement on the
meeting of the State Executive
Committee was contained in a
letter sent yesterday to Repre-
sentative Dean p. Taylor, Re-
publican, of New York, the
Republican chairman. Mr.. Tay-
lor replied that "after all, the
only pressure involved here is
the healthy force of public
opinion"
Mr.. Taylor called the meet
ing here to make clear the
party'S position in the row be-
tween Gov. Dewey and Mr..
Wicks, precipitated by the Kings
ton Senator's visits to labor
extortionist Joseph S. Fay in
Sing Sing Prison.
Special Session Set.
The issue of whether Mr..
Wicks should retain the post of
Senate leader, which gave him
status of acting Lieutenant Gov
ernor when the Lieutenant Gov
ernor resigned, will be taken up
at a special session of the Legis-
lature next Tuesday.
Mr.. WickS, one of the two
Senators on the Executive Com
mittee, contended in the letter
that today's meeting had been
devised to "apply political pres
sure on members of the Senate"
and constituted political inter-
ference with the legislative
branch of the government.
Mr.. Taylor asserted in his
statement that Mr.. WickS was
mistaken in saying that the
Office he holds is strictly legis-
lative."
Disputes Basis of Title.
He added:
1.-THE only title he holds except
that of Senator is that of tenn
porary president of the Senate,
which he acquired by the grace
of the Republican members in
party caucus" The Senate ma
jority leader customarily is elect
ed temporary president.
Gov. Dewey requested October
IL that Mr.. WickS resign his
Senate leadership after it was
disclosed that Mr.. Wicks had
visited Fay's cell. Mr.. Wicks
refused, contending he saw Fay
in efforts to maintain labor
peace in his senatorial district
around Kingston.
Fay is serving a 71z to Is year
term in State prison for extor-
tion from contractors on the
Delaware aqueduct, a unit of
the New York city water system.
He has been moved from Sing
Sing to Clinton prison, Danne-
mora.

Post Office Expected
To Expand Leased
Sites by $40 Million
By Robert J. Lewis
Sfor Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.-The
Post Office Department is ex-
panding its facilities sharply all
over the country to meet the
needs of the Nations increasing
population, and expects to lease
at least $40 million worth of new
privately owned real estate in the
next two years
That was disclosed here yes
terday before a session of the
National Realtors convention by
assistant POSTMASTER General
Ormonde A. Keib, who reported
the department already is paying
out annually considerably more
than $32 million in rent for
$4,000 properties. Z
In addition, he said, the de-
partment pays rent on a sliding
scale for $4,000 additional postal
units in small stores.
SIS Million in Rent Budget.
In the current fiscal year which
began July /, 1858, the depart
ment's budget provides SIS mil
lion in new rent funds to be
committed for new space, and
another SIS million is to be re-
quested for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /. 1854.
Mr.. Keib, long a figure in the
National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards and a former presi-
dent of the affiliated Institute
of Real Estate Management,
said the SIS million in new rents
funds this fiscal year will allow
leasing of $35 million worth of
new real estate"
For one building alone in
Cleveland that has just been
completed, he said, the Post Of
flee Department pays an annual
rental Of 100000.
This building, he explained,
provides the department with its
largest amount of rented space
in any one building. It is a par
eel post depot and transporta-
tion service station accommodate
ing over 70 railroad cars and
125 trucks.
Other Plans on Board.
On the drafting boards now
are plans for buildings in other
cities having total of more
than 100000 square feet of space
for comparable purposes. which
the Government hopes to include
in its post Office expansion pro-
gram.
Besides it's vast amount of
rented space to serve 10000 post
Offices in the United States and
possession, the department man
ages 5000 Federally owned prop
critics containing more than 80
million square feet of space and
occupies an additional As mil
lion square feet in Federal build
ings managed by the General
Services Administration.
No new Federal Post Office
construction has been under
taken since the outbreak of
World War II, he said. The re-
suit has been that the Govern
ment is relying on private own
ers to construct buildings for
leasing.
Leases are limited now to
maximum of 20 years. but Mr..
Keib said he hopes the limit will
be raised to SO years. with a 20
year initial lease authorization
provided for, plus six f1ve-year
renewal option periods.

Although the heavily favored

Bio Seven and Atlantic LOOP
Due to Siqn Bowl Pact Soon

A favorable decision on a pro-
posed Orange Bowl playof be-
tween the Atlantic Coast and
Big Seven Conference football
champions probably will be made
within a couple of weeks, it was
learned today.
The Big Seven, opening it's
regular, two-day September
meeting at Kansas City yester-
day, voted to name a special
committee to study details of
the plan, according to the As
sociated Press. This was re-
garded as a favorable omen,
since a ban on post-season events
other than those sponsored by
the Big Seven or NCAA (such
as basketball tournaments and
track meets. has kept Big Seven
teams out of football bowl games
for the last two years.
Big Seven's Last Bowl Game.
Oklahoma's 1851 Sugar Bowl
team, which lost to Kentucky,
was the last to make a post
season appearance.
Dean Geary Eppley of Mary
land, a member of the Atlantic
Coast Conference Committee
studying the Orange Bowl pro-
posal, declined to comment off,
cially. But Eppley pointed out
that the main thing" to con-
slider was that such pact would
take a terrific amount Of pressure
off individual universities.
Eppley said the discussion of
possible bowl game opponents
created so much talk as to put
Evening star., 1953-09-29

them in an unfavorable light
around a university. He thought
a decision by the conference
would remedy this situation.
The Maryland dean added
that he thought the Atlantic
Conference probably would agree
on some kind of combination"
within the next couple of weeks.
1t is no secret that Maryland
would welcome a bowl tie-up.
It's action in defying the South
ern Conference ban to accept a
bid to the Sugar Bowl two years
ago paved the way for the forma-
ton of the new Atlantic Con-
ference.
Atlantic Group Favors Plan.
All of the other six members
of the new Atlantic group. Duke,
North Carolina, North Carolina
State, South Carolina, Wake
Forest and Clemson, are known
to favor post-season games with
their lucrative box-office re-
wards.
The Big Seven includes Okla
homa, Missouri. Nebraska, Kan
sas. Kansas State, Colorado and
Iowa State.
If the two groups do reach an
agreement with Orange Bowl Of
f1cials. it would kill another plan
for playing the National Foot
ball League championship game
in Miami. This idea was put
forward when the Orange Bowl
found it difficult to find suitable
college teams for it's New Years
Day attraction and pro club
owners were interested.

contract yesterday at a reported
annual salary of o.000. ending
rumors that he was "out" as boss
of the Indians.
Hank Greenberg, Cleveland
general manager, said: We've
always been completely happy
With Al and at no time has there
been any consideration given to
not renewing his contract"
Lopez Scoffed at reports in the
Cleveland News that he had
thought of leaving the club un-
less he could get promise from
Greenberg that he Lopez would
run the club in his own way"
Plans Team Changes.
I'm very happy to stay in
Cleveland" Lopez said. "I never
talked to any other club owner.
I was under contract to Cleve-
land and didn't know what Hank
wanted to do. He told me to
wait until we got to New York
and we'd have a talk"
Tackling the tough job of try
ing to end the Yankees five
year reign, Lopez said there
would be some changes made in
the Indians before next season.

he said. I'VE might be inter-
eSted in first-base help, some

club won SO games in 1851 and
1852 and 90 games this season.

games, you have to have a pretty
sound club" he said. I'VE just
need a little help at the right
spots"
The team is in need of left
handed pitcher. Indian officials
hope Dick Tomanek, who came
up from Indianapolis to beat De-
troit late in the season, may be
the answer.
"The only fellows you can get
are stop-gap players who have
been around for years." Green
