Doub asU.S. Attorney
BY the Asseeiated Press

BALTIMORE, June 2.-Mary-
lands Republican Senators, But
Ter and Beall. have ended their
precedent-shattering feud and
agreed on one man for United
States attorney for the State
George Cochran Doub, Balti-
more lawyer.
Senator Butler announced the
agreement last night after he
and Senator Beall had gotten to-
gether for a heart-to-heart talk
in a small room off the Senate
floor of the Capitol.
Mr.. Doub was Buffers choice.
Wilfred T. McQuaid, Balti-
more Traffic Court magistrate
and a former assistant United
States attorney. was the choice
of Senator Beall and Gov. Nc
Keldin, although the Governor
did not figure directly in the
impaSSe.
Mr.. McQuade, it was reported,
was in line for a "well-paying"
executive position with the De-
partment of Justice.
The agreement on Mr.. .Doub,
G. o. P. candidated for Maryland
attorney general in 1916, virtually
assures his actual nomination
by President Eisenhower. If ap-
proved by Congress, Mr.. Doub

Moscow is reliably reported
to be urging Japan to sign a
peace treaty before "it is too
late" The two countries are
still technically at war.
In the present uncertain sit
uation in the Ear East, the
Japanese political leaders are
compelled to look over both
shoulders. Premier Yoshida
remains a strong advocate of a
national policy of close CO.
operation with the United
States. He is said to have told
those who have been urging
him to move toward a possible
shift to the Peiping-Moscow
axis that so long as John
Foster Dulles remains Secre-
tary of State, Japan need not
fear any change in American
policies in the Far East.
Unfortunately, the last offer
for an armistice in Korea COM
municated in secret to the
Reds by the American military
representatives of the United
Nations has caused almost as
much dismay in Japan as in
South Korea.
If the offered terms, revealed
unoficially last week in Seoul,
are confirmed, the japanese
consider them as a definite ap-
peasement which is bound to
affect ultimately the whole of
the Far East.
Most Japanese politicians
are realiStS. They believed
that Japan would be rehabil-
1tated as a power with a
steadying influence in Asia
through close cooperation
with America. In the last IL
months Japan has been re-
building its military forces
with our tacit approval. These
are primarily designed to en-
able that country of nearly
80 million people to defend
itself in the event Of Red
aggression.
Some japanese looked a
little further. They envisaged
the possibility of a showdown
between the United States and
the Reds and wished to be
ready to give this country the
manpoWer support which we
would certainly need in such
an eventuality. The Japanese
have no doubt about how such
a conflict would end and
expected to be rewarded by
the return of territories taken
from them by the Yalta agree
ment and also gain a position
of economic influence in
Manchuria.
Japan'S economy cannot sur
vive unless she has access to
Manchurian raw materials and
finds outlets for her industrial
production on the Chinese
mainland.
The impression created in
the Far East that the new
sAmerican Government would
deal from strength made pos
sible the return of Premier
Yoshida to Office last spring.
But the. present reports that
this country is at the point
of accepting an armistice in
Korea on terms which in the
eyes of Orientals have all the
earmarks of appeasement made
a deep impression throughout
the Far East.

The priced committee seats

The Senator from Oregon, a

Taft Gets Support From Rhee
Sentiment Is Developing Also in Congress in Behalf
Of Ohioon's Viewpoint on u N-Koreu Problem

Of that country settle the prob
lem themselves.
The idea that the q. N. has
too many .croSs-currentS Of
loyalty among its members to
deal fairly with the Korean
issue is basic in the thinking
of the President Of Korea. 1t
is understood that a protest
has been made by him because
the U. N. negotiatorS did not
consult the Korean govern
ment's representative in draw
ing up the latest proposal and
only notified him of the con-
tents just before it was pre-
sented to the Communists.
There is no explanation as to
why this was done to a faith
full ally.
Further support for the
viewpoint of Senator Taft has
come from Senators Know
land of California and H. Alex
ander Smith of New Jersey.
Republicans, both of whom say
the recent Taft speech was
misinterpreted and distorted.
Senator KnoWland, for in
stance, says: LAS I read his
(Senator Taft's) entire text,
what he was referring to was
the situation in the event the
present cease-fire negotiations
should break down. and it was
only on that basis that he was
suggesting that we would then
have to make plans and not be
tied down by the United Ma
tions restrictions which have
been upon. us ever since the
outbreak of the Korean war"
The California Senator said,
IN his radio interview. that he
didn't think the Greeks or the
Turks would desert the United
States in the Far East and he
was sure the Philippines and
Thailand, which have forces in
Korea. would go along with the
United States. He pointed out
that the Republic Of Korea

Looks Like Virtue May Triumph
Stirring Western Drama Now Being Enacted on Capitol Hill
CottIernen Meet Hotter Opposition Than Anticipated

Two great westerns" are
having q run in Washington
Just now, one in the movie thea
tiers and the other in the
Interior Committees Of the
House and Senate. Both have
the same general theme, the
war between the wicked cattle
barons and the honest home
steaderS. In the movie the
honest homesteaders triumph
because they have Alan Ladd
on their side and he shoots
the wicked cattlemen dead.
In the drama Of real life 1t is
too early to tell who is going
to triumph. The homesteaders
haven't any Alan Ladd, only
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son and Secretary of the IN
terror Mckay, and it isn't cer-
tain yet which side either Of
them is on. They seem to be
trying to keep out of the battle.
Neither has accepted an in
vitation to testify or sent any
body up to the Capitol to tes-
tify for his department or sub
mitted an opinion on behalf
Of his department.
At issue is what is known
as the stockmen's bill, in
troduced in the House by Rep
resentative D'Ewart, Republi-
can, Of Montana, and in the

publican, Of Nebraska and

It would be a step away
from the two-party system
which we have always regarded
as somewhat important. if in
deed not vital, to the continu-
ance of our Government in an
orderly way"
Senator Morse's argument
that equal suffrage for every
State was no good if discrim-
inatory practices were followed
in the Senate itself failed.
Senator Morse is copying up
to Oregon Democrats. He will
make their Jefferson Day din
ner speech June IL in Port

may well have weakened his
resolve to remain an independ-
ent through 1857, when his

AS for "going it alone" Sem
ator Knowland declared he
had supported the NATO
Treaty. the Marshall Plan, the
United Nations Treaty and the
Greek Turkish aid program
but he added: II don't think
these alliances can ne merely
one-way, where our friends in
Europe expect us to support
our commitments-which we
will do-in Europe, and at the
same time, when we are pre-
sumably trying to stop Com
munist aggression, for them
to in fact encourage Com
munist aggression in Asia. To
me that doesn't make sense"
Senator Knowland thought
the British, in their House of
Commons debate, rather than
Senator Taft by his speech,
had opened up the whole sub
ject of the value of the U. N,
particularly when the British
statesmens propose that Red
China be admitted to the
U.N. after the armistice in
Korea He thought. too, that
Senator Taft was really speak
ing to our allies and was send
ing a signal to our allies that
these alliances have to be two
way streets. and that we can't
have them running out on us
in Asia, and at the same time
expecting us-aS we are going
to do-to live up to our COM
mitments in Europe"
Considerable sentiment Is
developing in Congress behind
the Taft viewpoint. which is
that. if the truce fails, the
United Nations cannot handle
the Korean negotiations any
longer and that a new group
ing of governments outside
the U. N. mechanism will have
to be established If American
boys are to be brought home
at an early date.

Capital Transit Plea
For 10 Pei. Return
Shocks Examiner

Capital Transit Co.'S insist
ence that it is entitled to a 10
per cent return on its rate base

an Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner yesterday.
The examiner, William T.

Confirmation Of the point Of
view Of Senator Taft that the
United Nations as an instru-
mentality for making peace in
Korea has broken down and
that q new alliance has to be
forged in Asia now has come
from other important mem
berS of the Senate and from
the Korean government itself.
The Republic of Korea,
which has suffered the biggest
losses on, the allied side, has
served notice on the United
States Government that the
So-called U.N. plan for a truce
in Korea can only mean even
tually the enslavement Of all
Korea by the Communists.
The proposal of President
Rhee is that an alliance be
formed by the United States
and the Korean government
and that, in the event of an
attack on the southern forces
in violation of an armistice,
America will come to the aid
of the Koreans as against the
aggreSsors. This would be a
defense pact, which the Ko-
rean government wishes the
United States to sign before
there's q truce in Korea.
But the same proposal in
cludeS a suggestion that Amer
lean and all other allied forces
be withdrawn at once from
the south and that all Commu-
mist Chinese troops be with
drawn from the north so that
only Koreans shall remain in
the north and the south.
So confident is the Korean
President that all of Korea
would become pacifled under
such an arrangement that he
is willing to see American
troops go home while the pac-
iflcation is undertaken by the
South Korean armies.
What it all amounts to is a
proposal that everybody get
out Of Korea except the Ko-
reanS and to let the natives

of a limited number of large
cattle companies at the ex-
pense of the well-established
national interest. In effect,
it is claimed. the proposed leg
iSlation would not only aban-
don our settled policy of pro-
tecting Government land
against overgrazing, but would
abandon much of the land
itself.
In the interest of conServa-
ton, the Government grants
only temporary grazing per-
mits. This makes it possible
to protect the land against
damage by cattlemen con-
cerned only with immediate
profits. The bill would make
these permits the property Of
the grazers. permitting them
to sell them to buyers of their
own choosing. Opponents
charge that this would not
stabilize" the cattle industry,
the pretended purpose, but
instead, would introduce the
element of naked speculation
into the business.
The privileged permit hold
ers would be able to sell rights
in the use Of the public's land,
with the public having vir-
tually no voice insthe matter.
Finally, the bill would ham
string the administrative au-
thority Of the Forest Service
by allowing appeals to the
courts in many matters now
left to the discretion of the
administrators. This could re-
suit in continual harassment
of the administrators, with the
public the likely loser.

member Of the United Nations,
Premier Yoshida stated last

tion. This was a gratuitous
expression Of opinion. But
those who know the ways Of
our Oriental ally saw in this
statement a definite indication
that the Tokyo government
was getting ready to run for
cover.
In the meantime, q Jap.
anese-Chinese trade agree
ment is about completed. An
agreement with the U. S. S. r.
for purchase Of a quantity Of
coal and oil at about half the
price Japan is now compelled
to pay for American coal has
been in existence for several
months. 1t is an ironical fact
that the oil which the Musco-
vites are selling comes from
that portion of Sakhalin Island
which belonged to Japan for
40 years before vi day.
The Muscovites believe in
beating the iron while it Is hot.
The Kremlin is following in
Japan the peace offensive in
augurated in Europe after
Stalin's death. It Is aimed at
iSolating America in the West
and East.
The treaty which Moscow is
reported to be Offering Japan is
said to be more advantageous
than that signed with the
Western allies at San Fran
cisco.
Communist tactics in Japan
have changed in the last few
months on orders from the
Cominform. Instead of stress
ing communism and striving
to change the monarchy into q
peoples republic" the accent
has been placed on propagating
hate against foreigners. es-
pecially Americans.
The propaganda is effective.
Millions of men who served In
the armed services during the
war have not yet forgotten the
defeat. Hundreds Of thousands
of Japanese prisoners were kept
in Soviet camps until recently.
They underwent the usual
brainwashing and returned full
of hatred for the Americans.
The Yoshida cabinet hoped
to overcome the complex con-
ditionS caused by anti-Ameri-
can propaganda, an economic
crisis which will be accentu-
ated by the end Of the Korean
war and finally the conviction
of industrialists and business
men that the Asiatic mainland
provides the only opportunity
for sound economic develop
ment.
But if the impression that
America has finally decided to
appease the Reds is confirmed,
Yoshida or his successor will be
forced to look toward the Red
relationships of China and
Russia.
