Appointment Memo
Snares CoosweII

A District Commissioner yes
terday administered q verbal
wrist slap to Robert F. Cogswell.
director Of the Occupations and
Professions Department. for
making a recommendation on
an appointment to one OF the
quasi-independent boards in his
department.
The tiff arose in an otherwise
routine move to reappoint Dom
aid C. Dow. 555 Randolph street
NV. to the Board Of Plumbing
Examiners.
Trade spokesmen indorsed Mr..
Dow'S selection. But when Com
missioner Renah F. Camalier no.
ticed a memo in which Mr.. Cogs-
well stated he also had mo OBJ
lection" to the appointment, he
questioned the propriety Of the
recommendation.
Mr.. CogSwell. said Mr.. CANA
lier. lacks authority to handle
anything but the administrative
details Of the 19 boards in the
department. A reorganization
order establishing the depart
ment makes this so, he said.
The department directo
pointed out in his memo, how
ever, that he was asked for a
recommendation by sources trac-
ing back to the Commissioners.
Despite the jurisdictional dis
pute, Mr.. Dow was unanimously
reappointed.

Bills Theft Spurs
Plea to Check All
Government Gold
BY the Assoeioied Press

Representative Wickersham,
Democrat. of Oklahoma pro-
poses an overall inventory of
every nook and Granny of our
entire Government including
checks on gold at Fort Knox
and in United States mints.
I'VE must ask ourselves: What
have waste, inefficiency and cor
ruprion taken from the sum to-
tai of the assets belonging to
the American people?'" Mr..
Wickersham said in a House
speech yesterday.
ITO answer this question, an
overall inventory is a must"
He referred specifically to the
$22,028. 1888 1893 of gold held by
the United States as of last De-
cember 20 in mints at Philadel-
phia. New York, San Francisco
and Denver, and asked:
Would searchers find bars of
surplus putter or surplus lead,
surplus dried eggs or dried milk,
surplus wheat or corn, in these
places as they found worthless
paper on the day after New
Years Day in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing!"
This reference was to the dis
covery on January 4 that $780,
600 in newly printed $40 bills
had been stolen from the En-
craving Bureau and replaced by
packages Of blank paper.

way as to interfere with normal
trade patterns of friendly coun-
tries. Countries other than the
United States, notably those Of
Western Europe, are normal
traders with the Soviet Union.
! A heavy export of goods there
might defeat United States pol
icy interest in maintaining and
expanding these trade patterns
for countries to which billions
Of American aid dollars have
gone.
4. Despite the relaxation of
cold-war tensions. there has
been no real evidence of any
change in Soviet policy or pur-
poses. The political policy of
the United States is to maintain
strong Western defenses. In the
past such political policy has
had an important bearing on
economic policy.
The Andreas application itself
does not. according to official
informants. pose question of a
real policy change by the Amer
lean Government.
But if the tensions of the cold
war continue to ease. the de-
mands for more East-West trade
among American and European
businessmen alike can be expect
ed to become increasingly urgent
and politically more potent.

Firemen Ask Ban on Calls
By Locked-0 Residents

The Fire Department wants
to make sure there's really
something burning when people
call and say they're locked out
side and their dinner is burning
on the stove.
Fire Chief Millard H. Sutton
asked the Commissioners to in
clude fire trucks in the police
regulation which makes it illegal
for people to make a false call
for a hospital ambulance or a
police car.
He told the Commissioners
yesterday that firemen some
times are C.,led on the pretext
that children are locked inside
homes, or that food is burning
on the stove. On arriving. they
find that some one has locked
himself out, and wants firemen
to help him get back inside.

Pressure Is Mounting on U.s..
.ToEdse Cold War Trade Curbs

rectly upon the Commerce, De-
partment.
2. The accumulation Of vast
stores Of surplus agricultural
commodities in the United
States. This has created enor-
NOUS pressure on tn. Eisenhow-
er administration to find ways
Of disposing Of these surpluses
without wrecking any Of the
regular world trade channels or
domestic businesses. One OBJ
vious place where a market
might be found is behind the
Iron Curtain.
3. A slow move toward gen.
eral easing of international ten
sions. The State Department is
prpobably most responsive to
this pressure, although it makes
its impact felt in many places.
The more the Soviets make
friendly gestures. the more trad
ers everywhere tend to look for
business with the Soviet Union.
Opposition Powerful.
But on the other side is a set
Of arguments which remains
powerful and which has many
adherents, especially in the
State Department and probably
in the Defense Department as
well. They include:
1. A major policy OF the ad-
ministration has been to exploit
differences between the rulers
and the ruled in all the Com
munist countries. A major source
of trouble for the Soviet leaders
has been low agricultural pro-
duction The export of any large
quantity of foodstuffs such as
fats and oils would run con-
trary to United States policy on
this point.
2. Agricultural surpluses for
foreign sale are often in effect
subsidized by the Government.
The Government buys at a high
er domestic price and disposes of
the supplies for export at a
much lower world price. It is
difficult to see how the admin
istration could justify the SUBJ
sidized export of any foodstuffs
to Russia in the light of domi-
mating political attitudes.

foreign economic policy is not

Pressures are mounting on the
Eisenhower administration to
lower some OF the cold war bar
riers so as to permit more trade
between the United States and
Russia and its satellites.
Many top officials responsible
for international economic policy
feel some decisions will have to
be made fairly soon. Meanwhile,
splits appear to be developing
between the interests favoring
trade and those wishing to main
tain maximum economic pres
sure on the Communist bloc.
The issue may come into focus
upon an application by Mime
sofa Businessman Dwayne An
dreas for permission to export
10000 tons Of butter and 5000
tons Of cottonseed oil to Russia.
These are not strategic materials
and there is no policy barrier
against them except a general
policy under which the Govern
ment reserves the right to bar
any exports to Russia contrary
to the security interests Of the
Jn'-ed States.
Ofhcials said today the An
dreas application is now before
an interdepartmental committee
made up Of representatives of
the State. Agriculture and Com
merce Departments. 1t deals
with broad issues Of economic
security embracing the partic-
ular problem Of East-West trade.
This. Of course. is not exclusively

BY the Assoeieisd Press

PANMUNJOM. Saturday, Jan.
l6.-Red China's Peiping radio
said last night the United Ma
tions Command would endanger
the Korean armistice by accept
ing the 90, 900 Chinese and North
Korean prisoners to be turned
back by India from an anti-Red
camp next Wednesday.
The United States 9th Army
already is making preparations
to take back the $4,000 as war
prisoners on that day-and then
release them as civilians at 1901
am. a week from today.
The first Red reaction to
India's plan came last night in
a Chinese language broadcast
for home consumption. 1t was
monitored and translated in
Tokyo.
Peiping radio said Americas s
intention to take back the pris-
oners makes the Korean situation
much more critical. It did not
elaborate.
Chance to Change Minds.
India announced Thursday its
intent to turn back the $4,000
to the U. N. Command and give
back to the Reds the 81 Amer
leans, one Briton and 325 South
Koreans in a pro-Red camp.
Yesterday India made it clear
that when the transfer Is being
made any man wishing to change
his mind and go home will be
allowed to do so. 4
An Indian spokesman said his
command will turn back the
unrepatriated war prisoners
whether the allies or Commu-
nists want them or not.
The return will begin at 8
am. Wednesday q pm. Tues
day. EST.
Although the Indians are
awaiting replies to letters OF
notification sent both commands
Thursday the spokesman said
the tenor Of the replies will
make little or no difference.
Asked by a reporter if the In
dians would go ahead with their
| plan to get out of the prisoner
of-war business, the spokesman
said with emphasis:
"It is not our plant is our
decision"

His words echoed the determi-
nation shown by 1t. Gen. K. S.
Thimayya. Indian chairman of
the Neutral Nations Repatria-
ton Commission, who, said of
the Indian project there has
been no agreement-this is uni
lateral action by me-"
Lending emphasis to their de-
cision, a number Of Indian Of
f1cers were busily planning leave
trips in Tokyo now that their
work at Panmunjom is almost
done.
The Indians have received no
reply from either command.

Asks About Rhee Plans.
At the final hearing yesterday
on the Korean treaty, Senator
Humphrey, Democrat. of Mime
sofa, showed concern over what
the United States might have to
do If President Syngman Rhee
of South Korea decided to move
his troops northward in an ef-
fort to reunite his country.
Senator Republican Leader
Knowland of California replied
that this treaty creates no di-
lemma that would not exist to-
day without the treaty If the
South Koreans resumed hostili-
ties on their own.
Army Secretary Stevens tes-
tilted that If Mr.. Rhee took uni
lateral action the treaty would
be imperative. but he added
that the United States would
have to make some important
decisions fast.
Questions Fleet Cut.
Senator Humphrey also ques-
toned whether the United
States will weaken its position
at the peace table by retiring
so naval vessels and withdraw
ing two divisions from Korea
at this time.
Mr.. Stevens replied that the
United States still would have
substantial naval force in the
Pacific, and the withdrawal OF
two divisions from Korea Is still
only in the planning stage.
Senator Wiley said he is q
legislator. not a military man,
and must rely on the judgment
of President Eisenhower and
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. Army
Chief of Staff. that the United
States is not weakening its de-
fenses in the new approach 10
military strategy.
Senator George, Democrat, OF
Georgia. has suggested a clarity
ing clause in the Korean treaty
to make it certain that the
United States would not be obli-
gated to support any unilateral
action the South Koreans may
take to reopen hostilities. Senator
Wiley says he sees no objection
to such a clause.
