MoIik Flies to London
For japanese Treoty Talks

LONDON, June / (P.-Soviet
Ambassador Jacob Malik few in
from Moscow today to open talks
with a japanese delegation on q
World War II peace treaty be-
tween the two nations.
Mr.. Malik, who left his London
post a week ago to consult with
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M
Molotov, asked Japan's chief
delegate Shunichi Matsumoto to
visit the Soviet Embassy this
afternoon for the initial talk.
A Japanese spokesman said
the two ENJOYS would discuss
procedure for conducting the
negotiations, which may last six
months. Japan is pressing for
an overall settlement of differ
ences over territorial issues, fish,
ing rights, trade, diplomatic ties
and repatriation of japanese
prisoners of war still held by the
Russians.
Rejected 1851 Treaty
Mr.. Molotov first put out a
feeler for the peace talks last
September and early this year
Premier Ocliiro Hatoyama took
up the bid. Russia refused to
sign the 1851 San Francisco
treaty which ended the technical
state of war between japan and
the Western allies.
If the Russians and japanese
reach an agreement. 1t is ex-
pected to set a pattern for what
the Soviets describe as normal
ization" Of Japan's relations with
Communist China as well as with
Russia's East European satellites.
The United States and Britain
have no direct part in the Russo
Japanese talks. However, their
official observers are watching
closely from the sidelines.
Western diplomats expect
Russia to try to weaken Japan's
close ties with the United States
and to- WOO her toward a more
neutral role In the East-West
struggle.
Favor Neutralist Stand
While Japan has a security
pact with the United States, Mr..
Hatoyama has indicated pub
licly he would like to take a more
Evening star., 1955-06-01

neutralist stand to encourage
trade with Red China.
Japan wants these things from
Russia:
/. Return of the Russian-oc-
cupied Kurile, Habomai and Shi-
kotan Islands north of Japan.
2. Return of all japanese
World War II prisoners still held
by the Russians.
8. A fishing agreement giving
japanese trawlers their prewar
right of fishing up to three miles
off the Siberian coast.
4. A trade agreement.
5. Support for Japan's bid for
a seat in the United Nations.

Paper Is Denied
Court Transcript

NEW YORK. June / R.-A
State Supreme Court justice has
ruled that a newspaper has no
legal right to be given a tran
script of a court trial at its de-
mand.
This decision was handed
down yesterday by Justice An
thony Di Giovanna in denying
a request by the New York Post
that County Judge Samuel s.
Leibowitz be directed to give the
paper a copy of his charge to
the jury in a recent Brooklyn
manslaughter case.
Justice Di Giovanna said the
trial transcript was not a public
record. which normally would
be available to a newspaper.
"The mere fact that a transcript
which has been taken relates to
a matter of public interest does
not make it a public record"
the justice said.
Policeman's Trial Is Issue
The Post has 80 days in which
to appeal the decision.
The trial in question was q
manslaughter case against Po-
liceman Robert Surrey, who shot
and killed a Brooklyn youth on
February 13 as he fed from the
scene of a disturbance. Last
April 18 a jury acquitted the
policeman after celebrating 10
minutes.
In refusing to order that the
Post"be given a transcript of the
charge, Justice Di Giovanna
said:
while the court is of the
opinion that the petitioner is
animated by motives of high
public interest. it cannot pre-
vail on this motion except by a
demonstration of statutory right
or common law right given 1t,
which 1t has not DONE"
Freedom Not Involved
He denied that freedom of the
press was at issue. saying:
1.-THE trial in which the charge
herein sought was delivered was
open to the press and to the
public and no contrary conten-
ton is made. Petitioners report
er was, or had an opportunity to
be, present and to report what
transpired thereat. presumably
did so, and had full opportunity
to record or make notes Of the
charge given and to comment
thereon"
Justice Di Giovanna said that
| IL anyone had the right to de.
mand a trial transcript, the
court stenographer might be
kept so busy he would be unable
to carry out his court duties.

By VINCENT s. BAKER

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - Many
of us, when we were children, read
one or more of the "Horatio Alger"
stories. Thees were stories about
white American boys who rose
from pverty and obscurity to
wealth and prominence. We like
them because they embodied the
American dream.
The story of Mary Mcleod Beth
une is all this and then some
Horatio Alger plus. She was black,
not white; a girl, not a boy; and
yet she achieevd not only personal
success but, in cooperation with
others, victories for her race and
for the, democratic ideal. She pos
sessed keen intlligence and unwav-
ering determination. She possessed,
also, unshakable faith faith in
God, in people, in democracy and in
herself. These qualities sustained
her in moments of adversely and
mellowed her in moments Of tri-
umph.
Mrs Bethune was militant with
out being bitter. 1t is said that it
was little white girls taunt:
"You can't head' that started her
on her career. She accepted the
taunt as challenge, not an insult.
When a conductor on train di-
rected her to gimme your ticket,
Auntie" she turned to him and
asked sweetly, "Now, which one of
my sisters children are your"
When she and a number of white
women were guests at the White
House, one of the women said to
her, 81 think it's very nice of Mrs.
Roosevelt to have invited you
here" Mrs. Bethune replied, IL
think it's very nice of Mrs. Roose-
welt to have invited all of us here"
The school which Mrs. Bethune
started on $1.50 and faith, now has
twenty-seYen buildings, one hun.
dred. teachers, one thousand stu
dents. Her efforts on a broader
scale have brought closer the day
OF equal opportunity for all. Our
sadness at her passing should be
tempered by the realization that
the American dream can still come
true-from illiteracy to immortal
ity.

support, it is requirement of the
