Russia Calls Off
Ifs State Of War
With japanese

MOSCOW. Oct. 10 P.-
Japan and the Soviet Union to-
day signed a declaration ending
the l1-year state of war between
them.
Japanese Premier Ichiro Hato-
yama and Soviet Premier Nicolai
IBulganin signed the end-of war
declaration and a trade protocol
after more than Is months OF
off -and-on negotiations.
Practically the entire presid-
|tum Of the Soviet government
and its ruling Communist Party
were ranged behind them in the
klieg-lit conference room of the
Grand Kremlin Palace as they
attached their signatures.
The declaration ending the
state of war deferred all discus
sions on Japan's territorial
claims to a later date. Japan
failed to win the immediate re-
turn of Soviet-occupied Habo-
mais and Shikotan Islands north
of Japan. The Soviet agreed to
return the islands only after the
conclusion of q formal peace
treaty. Treaty talks are to be
held later, but no date has been
fixed.
Favored Nation Treatment
The trade protocol granted
most-favored nation treatment
by both sides. Under that for
mula each nation agrees to give
the other treatment as good as
lit gives any other nation in a
trade deal.
Later Hatoyama and his party
were to be honored at Krem-
LII UdLlQuCG.
Announcing the conclusion of
talks, Japanese officials said they
had reached complete agree
!ment" with the Soviet govern
ment. Russia refused to sign the
San Francisco peace treaty in
1851.

central committee meeting which
opened today.
Polish Communist leaders were
reported ready to demand indie
pendence from Moscow control

Importance for Poland's future

bloc of countries now tied closely
to Moscow.
Along with Gomulka, the COM
mittee reelected Gen. Marian

and Loge Sowinski. All four were
purged and jailed at the height
of the Kremlin's split with Presi-
dent Tito of Yugoslavia. whose
independent brand of commu-
nism resulted in his custer from
the Cominform in 1948.
Defense Chief May Lose Job
Marek- Specialists return
raised widespread speculation
that the downfall of Defense
Minister Marshall Konstantin
Rokossovsky is imminent. Marek-
Spychalski was defense minister
before RokoSsovsky, a Polish
born Soviet army officer, was
brought from Moscow to take
the job in 1949. Rokossovsky has
since become a Polish citizen
and a member of the Polish Po-
litburo.
Rokossovsky. who will be so in
December, was reported ready
in recent weeks to make a pact
with the resurgent Gomulka, but
to many Poles the marshal is a
symbol of the Soviet domina-
ton which the current session
of the central committee is ex-
pected to end.
Another government leader
reported on the way out is
Deputy Premier Zenon Nowak
He, too, is reported to have been
treating with Gomulka but with
out success.
The central committee was
faced with a series of demands
from Polish youth and workers
organizations. all for more free
dom of information in political
and economic affairs.
One demand was presented in
a letter from a workers meeting
yesterday at the Zeran Motor

Originally. the committee was

serious problem in attracting
