Japan-Red Link
Expanded Trade
Urged by Senator
BY ROWLAND EVANS, Jr.
Associated Press stan Writer

Senator George, Democrat, Of
Georgia has called for greatly
expanded trade between japan
and Red China. He said in an in
terview yesterday that this is the
only way to insure a prosperous
Japan and at the same time avoic
'"cutthroat competition between
the United States and Japan.
Japan ought to be allowed
and should not be discouraged
from reopening their markets ir
the great trading area of China, -
Senator George said. He is chair
man of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
Natural Markets
"There should be a relaxation
Japan should be allowed TO trade
in her ancient and natural mar
kets."
The Senator said that Chinese
Nationalist blockades of Red
China ports across the Formosa
strait would prevent Japan from
using those entry points unless
some arrangement could be made
with Chang Kai-shek. This is
regarded as impossible now.
But, he said. the Nationalist
have no power to prevent entry
.of japanese goods to northern
China ports. Only goods with a
strict military application should
continue to be embargoed, he
said.
A major trade agreement be-
tween the United States and
Japan, announced Thursday,
lowered or froze existing tariffs
on a wide variety of goods travel
ing in both directions.
Senator George told a news

plants from Southern textile

States concessions to Japan will
hurt their business.
Blasts Concessions
The American Cotton Manu-
facturerS Institute last night
blasted the concessions on tex
tile imports as "a staggering
blow" and a "ravishment" of the
American cloth-making industry
At the same time Senator Olin
Johnston. Democrat, of South
Carolina denounced the conces-
sions as part of "a cleverly con-
ceived sell-out" of the American
Textile industry to the japanese.
The State Department, in an
nouncing terms of the trade
agreement on Thursday, said
that among the concessions
granted by the United States
were moderate reductions on

Conceding that the water

The worst that could happen,

wind close yesterday with the

promising to remember what
happened to $213,924 in bank
Withdrawals for which he now
can't account.
The hilarity that Mr.. Lev's
broken-English testimony brought
to earlier sessions of the hear
lngs was noticeably absent at the
close.
Investigations Subcommittee
Chairman Mcclellan angrily
charged that the witness has
failed" to disprove charges that
he paid $4,000 in bribes to a
suspended Air Force captain.
Lev Shows Indignation
Mr.. Lev's attitude at the wind
up was one of resentful indigna-
tion. He protested when the Sem
ator questioned his truthfulness
when he insisted he couldn't re-
at all how he spent the
$213.924 in cash which a sub
committee accountant found had
been withdrawn from his bank
accounts in 1852 and 1853.
But to the end, Mr.. Lev de-
clared that none of his money
ever went for bribes. blackmail
payments or special favors for
Government purchasing officials.
The subcommittee impatience
with Mr.. Lev. who has been on
the witness stand for five days,
was pointed up when, according
to the Associated Press. Senator
Jackson. Democrat. of Wash
ington, told Mr.. Lev at today's
hearing:
Don't be funny. You've been
a wise guy here for a long time
If there is any truth in you. it
ought to come out right now" :"
Il object for tell me if there
is any truth" Mr.. Lev retorted,
his face flushing. Il object for
saying I am wise"
IDOn't Remember
Mr.. Lev, a one time poor refu-
gee from Pinsk. Poland, who says
he can neither read nor write
English, promised the subcom-
mittee a statement later about
the $213,924,
'"1 don't remember, but I'm
going to-" he insisted, putting
soberly on a cigar. He said he
couldn't recall now what he did
with even five dollars of the
sum.
Leon M. Levy of Brooklyn, a
rival manufacturer. told the sub
committee earlier he heard that
Mr.. Lev paid $50,000 in bribes to
Air Force Capt. Raymond Wool,
who once headed military pur-
chasing Offices in New York.
Capt. Wool denied this. Asked
about $4,000 in cash kept in an
iron box in his home, the Office
said most of it was profit from
a dress shop which he failed to
report on his income tax return.
Senators insisted the tax returns
were right and the money came
from other sources.
Capt. Wool now faces court
martial on charges that he ac-
cepted favors from military con-
tractors "for services rendered"
