Yalta Publications Called
'Harmless' by Dulles
OTTAWA, March 18 (JP) —Secretary of State John Poster Dulles said today he sees nothing in
American publication of the Yalta papers which Will harm diplomatic relations among the free nations,
said the essentials had all been published before.
Yesterday Dulles refused to reply to a question put to him by a Washington reporter as to why
the papers were released at this time. Dulles, about to take off for Canada, walked away in apparent
anger oyer the question. Earlier he had skid he expected the controversy over Yalta to “go on
I through the ages.” i
But he showed no signs of ir
ritability at today’s 50-minute
news conference in Ottawa. He is
iti Canada on a three-day state
visit which will end tomorrow.
Dulles said the documents were
released ih the normal course of
proceedings in the State Depart
ment and asked why they should
not be published.
He said books by Prime Min
ister Winstoh Churdhill. and For
mer U.S. Secretaries James Ryrnes
and'.Edward R, Stettinius had
made know all the essential facts
Oh the Yalta meeting of President
Roosevelt. Prime Minister Stalin
and Churchill.
Churchill, the only survivor
among the Yalta principals, told
the HoUse of Commons in London
yesterday Britain disapproved of
the American publication. He said
there were "serious mistakes” in
the U.S. account.
But Dulles said it is his belief
the American action, amounting
to a fourth nublication. will not
do any more harm than the pre
ceding three.
A reporter commented that the
State Department is still holding
up, documents on events before
Yalta.
' Dulles said this is true, but that
American policy, in view of the
tremendous volume of such pap
ers, _ is concentrating'on episodes
which ‘ have particular historical
interest.
• He asserted that each nation
must feel free to publish diplo
matic relations in the interest of
public knowledge and historical
acouracy. He suggested that by
simultaneous action of other coun
tries the full picture could be bet
ter learned. s
He said he knew of no inten
tion by the United States to de
nounce the Yalta treaty.

Inquiry
WASHINGTON, March 18 (IP)
—Sens. J. William Fulbright
(D.-Ark.) and Homer E. Cape
hart (R.-Ind.) angrily accused
each other today of playing
politics in the Senate Banking
Committee’s stock market in
quiry.
Capehart set off today’s ex
change by accusing Fulbright,
the committee’s chairman, of
seeking “to harass the Eisen
hower administration and to
harass business.”
The hearing also developed
testimony from Harlow H. Cur
tice, president of General Mo
tors, to the effect that the gov
ernment needn’t worry about
GM creating a monopoly in
the automotive industry.
Curtice told the committee
additionally that he doesn’t
speculate in the stock market.
“I’m just bullish about the fu
ture of the United States,” he
said.
After Capehart’s harassment
accusation, Fulbright advised
the Indiana senator to confine
his “attacks on the chairman”
to executive sessions of the
committee. Capehart is the
ranking Republican member
and headed the Committee in
the last Congress.
With his spectacles resting
far down on his nose, Fulbright
looked over the big crowd of
spectators and said icily:

Yalta Concessions
Aroused Chiang
WASHINGTON, March 18 (JP)
—Chiang Kai-shek “hit the ceil
ing” back in June 1945 when told
of concessions granted to Russia
at Yalta, a high American diplo
mat recalled today.
The concessions which aroused
the Chinese Nationalist leader’s
wrath involved rights in Map
churia and were pledged to Mar
shal Stalin by President Roose
velt.
The diplomat who told of Chi
ang’s reaction had personal
knowledge of 1945 events but de
clined to permit use of his name
because of his present official
position.
. He said Chiang took the posi
tion that the Roosevelt conces
sions violated either the letter
or spirit of assurances which the
United States had given Na
tionalist China previously.

’ Lysistrata! OK'd
By Post Office
After Squabble
WASHINGTON, March 18 (.P)
—The word went out from the
Post Office Department today to
let “Lysistrata" through.
A collector’s copy of the ancient
Greek classic ran afoul of Post
master Gen. Summerfield’s “clean
up the mails” campaign last fall
and was' impounded by the Los
Angeles Post Office as obscene.
Then began a legal battle.
Counsel for the man who had
ordered the unexpurgated edition
by mail from London into
federal court here and asked:
“By what authority does he
translate sex into sin, light into
darkness, literature into obsenity,
‘Lysistrata’ into ‘pornography’?”
Today the Post Office Depart
ment, after winning one prelimi
nary legal skirmish, decided to
call it quits and let thd book go
through.
It acted. Solicitor Abe Mcgreg

the book in question is not for

“Not at all,” Curtice replied.
“I am enjoying it very much.”

German Parliament
OK's Paris Treaties
BONN, Germany, March 18 (/P) —West Germany’s Bundesrat ap
proved today the Paris treaties to arm 500,000 Germans on the side
of the West. The vote was 29-9. It completed the parliamentary ac
tion required in Bonn.
Also accepted was an agreement with France to Europeanize the
coal-rich Saar Valley. All the treaties now go to President Theodcrf
Heuss for his signature. The
Bundestag approved them Feb. 27.
West German ratification leaves
the fate of the rearmament treat
ies largely up to France.
Treaties to Be Debated
The French Senate, where the
issue is in doubt, Will start de
bating the treaties next Wednes
day, with a vote sl/tted Friday.
French officials today hailed Ger
man approval, as “another step
toward the defense organization
of Europe.”
A new challenge to the treaties
developed today when the opposi
tion Socialists announced they
are filing a suit in the Constitu
tional Court against the Saar pact.
They charge it violates the con
stitution.
Bundesrat Passes Treaties
The 38-member Bundesrat took
just 68 minutes to pass the treat
ies. There was no debate. After
the vote. Chancellor Konrad Ad
enauer proudly declared:
“This does away with Yalta.”
They referred to the Yalta Big
Three proposals to carve up Ger
many into separate states and to
reduce its heavy industry and liv
ing standards after World War 11.
Germany Gains Sovereignly
Now, 10 years after Yalta, West
Germany under the Paris treaties
would receive national sovereign
ty, the right to create a defense
force of a half-million men de
signed for atomic war, and join
the North Atlantic Alliance and a
seven-nation West European mil
itary union.
And the Bundesrat made plain
today that the Germans should
use those rights to undo the Yalta
and Potsdam decisions which split
Germany between East and West.
It called on the United States,
Britain and France to meet with
the Russians to discus free nation
wide elections as the first step
toward restoring a united Ger

Faure Wins 10-Day Reprieve
PARIS, Saturday, March 19 (JP)
—Premier Edgar Faure, fighting
to stay,in office long enough to
push through the arms-for-Ger
many treaties, won a 10-day re
prifeve early today just as he
seemed about to fall on the issue
of tax dodgers.
to him. When he didn’t he
called on one of three high
ranking GM officials who
flanked him.
Curtice testified that GM,
which makes about 50 per cent
of the cars produced in this
country, pays no attention to
stock market fluctuations in
its planning.
“Our forward business plan
ning has always been based
upon our evaluation of eco
nomic conditions in general
and the automobile industry in
particular,” he said. “Stock
market operations, as such,
have no effect on our forward
planning.”
Byrd Hits
Ike's Road
Program
WASHINGTON, March l 8 (JP)
—Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D.-Va.) de
livered today what many legisla
tors considered a jolting blow to
the, Eisenhower administration’s
highway-building, plan.
He said it would give the fed
eral government “dictatorial con
trol” over roads, and that a pro
posed 21-billion-dollar bond issue
amounted to financial “leger
demain.”
The program would be financed
in part by bonds issued by a gov
ernment corporation. The bonds
would not be counted as part ox
the federal debt.
Byrd urged, instead, that road
building be expanded by allow
ing the states to collect the 2-cent
gasoline tax now levied by the
federal government.
Byrd, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, is frequently
an administration ally in money
matters. But today he appeared
as a witness before a Senate Pub
lic Roads subcommittee to rake
the highway plan. He said that so
far as he could recall it was the
first time he had ever gone be
fore a committee to testify on
legislation.
After he had finished, it was
evident that committeemen, both
Democrats and. Republicans, were
impressed. One Democrat ex
pressed the opinion Byrd had
“put the last nail in the coffin”
of the administration program.
Meantime the subcommittee
chairman, Sen. Albert Gore (D.-
Tenn.) made public preliminary
figures on the Bureau of Public
Roads showing the federal and
.state share of the 101-bilhbn
dollar road program which the
bureau feels should be under
taken in the next 10 years. A
final report is due next Week.

HELSINKI; Finland, March 18
(yP)—The Finnish tanker Aruba,
carrying 13,000 tons of jet fuel for
Red China, will continue on

Seamen’s union spokesmen in
Helsinki announced Wednesday

volved in a war action, would
strike if ordered to take the Aru

The Re-Be Co., said today it
had been in radio contact with
