would view with "gravest appre-
hension" any pay increase for
postal workers in excess Of a
House bills proposal for an aver
age 712 percent boost
The President stepped into the
controversy as the House got set
to vote on pay bill Monday.
The Senate Post Office Com
mittee already has recommended
a proposed 10 percent postal pay
hike and strong move IS on in
the House to vote a similar raise.
In letter to Rep. Murray ID
Tenn, Eisenhower said he is
concerned" even about the $50
million dollar measure okayed by
the House Post Office Committee
because Of its fiscal impact. Muir
ray is chairman Of the committee.
The President vetoed 5 per
cent pay hike for postal and civil
service workers last year on the
grounds that the bill did not in
clude mail rate increases to help
offset the cost as far as postal
employees were concerned.

Progress Reported
In Mcclellan Sfasser
Session on Dispute
BY JAMES Z. NEWTON

Chairman Mcclellan Of the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee and Foreign Aid Admins
traitor Harold E. stassen held a
peace" conference today and
they agreed that progress was
made in ironing out differences
over investigation of an aid prof.
ect in Pakistan.
But opinions of the Arkansas
Senator and Mr.. Stassen varied
as to the completeness of the
accord reached in the heretofore
angry controversy.
Understanding Seen
MIR. Stassep described the 90
minute talk as constructive"
and said, II believe we reached a
general understanding on a fair
way to proceed" in the subcom-
mittee's probe of Government
plans to build three grain stor-
age elevators in Pakistan.

cussion and I believe we made
progress toward more harmoni-

at issue was not finally resolved

three unsolved issues"

accused Mr.. Stassen of obstruct-

Gen. Macarthur at that time
discussed the planned invasion
of Japan and urged that "as
many Japanese divisions as pos
sible should first be pinned down
on the mainland, principally by
Soviet forces"
Gen. Macarthur denied making
such a statement to Forrestal.
Retired Maj. Gen. Courtney
Whitney, Gen. MacArthur's aide,
challenged the authenticity of
this section of the diary and
suggested that if Mr.. Forrestal
actually did dictate it, he might
have been suffering from mental
illness.
Authenticity Supported
The st. Petersburg (Fla.)
Times, in a copyrighted article
last night, quoted two persons
close to Mr.. Forrestal at the
time as vouching for the au-
thenticity of his diaries.
The newspaper said Miss Kath-
crime Foley, former confidential
secretary to Mr.. Forrestal and
now a resident of st. Petersburg,
told reporter. There's not the
slightest doubt of the authenti-
city of the Forrestal entry" She
described the suggestion that
Mr.. ForTestal had been mentally
i'll as ridiculous"
The newspaper also said it had
talked by long distance telephone
to a stenographic reporter who
accompanied Mr.. Forrestal on
the 1945 Pacific trip during
which he met Gen. Macarthur.

lander, who was reached in

Release All Papers
On YaIta or None,
Macarthur Proposes

NEW YORK, April 4 Rs-
Gen. Douglas Macarthur says he
favors release of documents
dealing with responsibility for
the Yalta decisions" only If the
record is released in full.
II would be Fundamentally in
approval . to have published
all documents which bear upon
responsibility for the Yalta de-
cisions," he declared In a state
nient last night. But" he added.
81 would deprecate most UNI
equiyocally a partial and selec-
tive release"
The wartime Far Eastern mill
tary chief referred to the re-
quested release Of certain Army
documents and messages dealing
with the war against Japan.
Publication of these records
was sought after Gen. Mac
Arthur denied statements that
his advice had prompted conces-
sions to the Soviet Union in
order to enlist Russia in the
Pacific war. These concessions
were made by the United States
and England at the Yalta con-
ference in February. 1915.
Lid Clamped Down
The Army on Saturday an
nounced it had frightened the
security classification of Gen.
MacArthur's wartime message
file and other documents and
was leaving a decision on their
release to the Defense Depart
ment.
Gen. Macarthur said he wants
the whole record released-if at
all - because he understands
that the Defense Department is
now being asked to release only
selected documents dealing with
plans for carrying out the Yalta
decisions. He said this release
would exclude "the documenta-
ton which preceded the Yalta
decisions and which alone might
cast light upon the responsible
ties involved"
Such partial release, the gen.
eral added. could only result in
added confusion in the public
mind concerning the issue under
discussion, which is the respcn-
sibility for the Yalta decisions.
Denial Challenged
In an editorial on March IS
the Washington Post and Times
Herald challenged Gen. MacAr-
thurs denial of any responsible
ity for the Yalta concessions
The newspaper said the general
was known to have pleaded "for
concessions to get Russia into
the Japanese war"
Similar statements were made

Gen. Macarthur repeated
anew last night his earlier denial
of this, saying:
After the recent publication
Of the Yalta documents, to my
utter amazement, it was stated
on the floor of the Senate that
the concessions made at Yalta
by the American and British
chiefs of state were based upon
my recommendations.
Such statement is utterly ,un-
founded and without the Slight

In its editorial disputing Gen.
MacArthur's denial of any re-
sponsibility for the Yalta con-
cessions, the Washington Post

Aruba Reported Told
To Sail On as Long
As Crew Will Work
BY m. Assosiatsd Press

HELSINKI, Finland, Mar. ID.
The Finnish tanker Aruba
plowed through the Indian
Ocean today, repeatedly under
orders to sail on with her 10000
ton consignment of jet fuel for
Red China as long as her balky
crew continues to work.
A radio message picked up in
Colombo. Ceylon. said the tank
er's owners had radioed orders
to avoid all ports and stay on
course as long as the crew re-
mains amenable.
Calm Aboard Ship
A spokesman for the owners
the Re-Be Shipping Co. of Hell
sinki-said they had been in
contact with the Aruba's cap
tain who said all was calm
aboard the tanker.
Earlier today the company had
said the ship might call at
Colombo tomorrow.
Earlier the Aruba's owners said
they had revised plans to send
the ship to Red China after her
crew refused to sail into dan
gerous areas"
May Be Intercepted
The Aruba case gained world
wide attention when United
States Congress members de-
manded that the shipment be
halted. The Nationalist Chinese
warned they would take steps to
intercept the Aruba if she headed
for the Red mainland.
A spokesman for the Re-Be
Co. refused today to disclose the
Aruba's eventual destination.
There has been speculation she
might put into an Indonesian
port to reload her cargo into
other China destined ships.
