Resignation Of Araki
As Envoy 10 US. Reported

TOKYO, Jan. 2O.-The news
paper Asahi said today the gov
ernment had accepted the resig-
nation of Eikichi Araki. Japan's
first postwar Ambassador to
Washington.
Mr.. Araki returned to Japan
last month. There has been
newspaper speculation that he
was resigning because he was
by-passed in the important re-
arming negotiations in WASH
ington last October. These were
handled for Japan by Hayato
Ikeda.
Asahi said the Washington
post has been offered to Sadao
Eguchi. Japan's Ambassador to
Canada. a career diplomat. It
added that the State Depart
ment in Washington had been
asked if Mr.. Eguichi was accept
able.

to get of the hook in Western
Europe and If it has now reached
a point of despair about the
chances of establishing the EDO,
isn't it possible that any deal
even a Second-best deal-might
be attractive to the State De-
partment?
That this should actually
happen at the coming con-
ference seems highly unlikely. to
say the least. It is said here. and
that the Big Three found them
selves in complete agreement
when they sat down to work out
plans for Berlin.
It is clear enough. from public
statements of various leaders
that there is a fixed line beyond
which the West will not retreat.
But leaders - particularly in
this part Of the world-laSt only
as long as they continue to rep
resent the political majority IN
their countries. Europe. and
especially France. is embarked
on a toboggan slide toward
normalcy and neutralism which
in this country at least is al
most out of control. And now
in the United States Europeans
see political tendencies which
arouse interest and hope-or
fear-depending on the point OF
view.

House 10 Consider
New Blueprint for
Military Promotions
BY the Assoeiossd Press

The House considers this week
q new blueprint for promoting
military officers. designed to
eliminate what its Armed Serv-
ices Committee calls morale
shaking "hit and miss" restric-
tons by Congress.
The bill, which may reach the
floor Thursday. establishes CELL
ings for the number Of officers
each service can have above the
rank Of Army captain and it's
equivalent. It is supported by
all three services.
The committee, in a report ex-
planning the bill, blamed year
to-year curbS" by Congress for
discouraging young men from en-
tering military service. The
curbs are applied usually through
last-minute amendments to APP
preparations bills.
"A young man about to make
the service his career wants to
know what his opportunity for
promotion u.s." the report said.
Laws May Vary.
At present, it added, che re-
allies that his entire career is
subject to laws that may vary
from year to year."
The complicated bill would
establish a sliding scale Of CELL
ings for top officers in proper
ton to the total number of off,
GERS each service has in uniform.
The Army, for example, would
be permitted $50 generals for
$4,000 officers. $50 for 100000.
The committee report, discuss
ing hearings by a subcommittee,
said:
!. "AS a general conclusion,
the committee found that there
was no abuse Of promotions in
the armed forces"
2. There are more senior off,
GERS today. proportionately, than
during World War II, but the
committee said they are needed.
Number Of Officers.
1.-THE number of officers re-
quired to handle the procure
ment needs, the staff planning
and hundreds of other require
mentS for 20 divisions is approx
imately the same as it is for Is
divisions" it said.
The report sited, as an ex-
ample Of dwindling supply of
new officers, these figures: In
1851, 80 per cent Of outstanding
military students who were Of
fered regular Army commissions
declined. In 1853 the figure was
Al per cent.
In June, 1858, sol officers en-
tered the Army and Air Force
from West Point. During 1858,
124 academy graduates Of all
classes resigned from these serv-
ices, IS per cent of whom had
between 10 and II years service
against retirement.
The bill also would iron out
retirement regulations which the
committee said might help
morale.
