Candor laaaarr ' 131 XT United Nations for Instructions MacArthur Asks i ? Eisenhower Says 'Bygones Are Bygones' " By Preston Grover FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan. 0-.P-Gen. Eisenhower extended the hand of friendship to west Germany today and invited the former enemy to help, him ward off Russian communist aggression. "Bygones are bygones," he said. "I bear no enmity against Ger . many and especially against the German people. ... I believe in the essential freedom-loving qual ity of the German people." It was one of the warmest gpeeches the general has made on a tour of investigation around the European nations of the North At lantic alliance. West Germany is not a member of that alliance, but the west hopes she will contribute both troops and industrial power. The speech was not delivered directly to the Germans, but to newsmen. who saw that his words were relayed. They met him at the Rhine-Mam airport. It was a wet grey day and there was nothing in the reception here . to indicate the Germans were glad to see the general who directed their final defeat in World War II Strict Precautions Even had the Germans wanted to greet him, they would have been prevented. U. S. military se curity precautions were the strict est seen in this American occupa tion zone center since the end of the war. A platoon of assassins could not have got through the network of military police. Prac tically all ground traffic was froz en. There were no crowds along the street either in Frankfurt or at Heidelberg, headquarters of the European command, where Gen. Eisenhower was driven after his brief airport news conference in Frankfurt. U. S. army, navy and sir force units paraded for Gen. Eisenhower at Heidelberg Honor guard represented American, French and British forces in Ger many. Call for Demonstration Communists called a demonstration- at Roemerplatz a sort of city center in Frankfurt for next Monday, hut the call was follow ed promptly by a city police or der forbidding all public meetings until the general lees. Gen. Eisenhower made it plain he would be glad to have the Ger mans on his side. The thing considered by Amer ican officials as most likely to bring the Germans in would be the presence here of an increased number of American troops. Gen. Eisenhower assured the Germans that he felt more Amer ican troops will be sent here. Political Question There has been a difficult ques tion of politics for the American officials to settle whether Gen. Eisenhower should discuss defense nd rearmament directly with German officials such as Chancel lor Konrad Adenauer and the so cialist opposition leader, Kurt Schumacher. Asked by a reporter whether he planned to meet German officials, Gen. Eisenhower said he is an of ficial of the Atlantic pact organi zation, of which Germany is not a member. Moreover, he added, he has little time to see other than a limited number of persons at ach halt. His one meeting with officials will be on a social level. About three score Germans, including Adenauer and Schumacher, have been invited to a reception for Gen. Eisenhower Monday night at the home of John J. McCloy, U. S high commissioner. Reds Order ERP Signs Torn Down VIENNA -()- Marshall Plan funds have been used to rebuild federal roads and bridges in the Russian zone of Austria and for several federal agricultural pro jects. At each project about 60 In all Austrian and ERP au thorities erected hugs signs: This work is being done with ERP funds.' They have stood untouched up to two years. Now the Russians have realized the signs counter act all the Communist agitation against ERP. Soviet commanders have ordered local Austrian of ficials to pull them down.

Russ Return Manchurian Reins to China By Spencer Davis SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. A Chinese communist broadcast from Peiping today lifted, per haps inadvertently, a corner of the iron curtain over Manchuria. It disclosed that Russian gov ernment economic agencies for almost five years after World War II held on to theaters, stores, factories, warehouses and resi dences which the Russian army had seized in Manchuria from the Japanese in 1945. The official Red China broad cast, heard by the Associated Press in San Francisco, said the Soviet economic agencies had handed over to the Chinese Reds some 302 different pieces of prop erty. These included 47 factories, 11 cinemas, 188 residences, 33 ware houses and 23 land properties, the radio said. Their value was not estimated. It said the transfer from Rus sian to Chinese communist own ership began on Aug. 9, 1950 and was completed by Aug. 17, 1950. This was five years to the day after the Russian Second Ukrain ian army went into action against the Japanese in the last week of World War II. - The Russians oc cupied all of Manchuria and Ko rea as far south as the 38th paral lel in 1945. Troops Removed Russian troops have remained in Port Arthur and Dairen, but pulled out of the rest of Man churia in early 1946. This week, Nationalist Chinese reports said three Soviet divisions again were back in Manchuria. This has had no confirmation from other official sources. ; The Chinese broadcast today said that details of the transfer of Japanese property had just be come public. It gave no other pos sible explanation for reporting In January something it said had happened in August. The broadcast said there were 18 more items included in the transfer than originally listed In an inventory attached to a note of Soviet Foreign Minister Vishin sky to the Chinese Red premier Foreign Minister Chou En-Lai. That not was written Feb. 14, 1950, during the visit to Moscow of Chou En -Lai and China's red leader" Mao Tse Tung. Disagreement Noted - It sugegsted that there was some disagreement about the number of properties the Soviet economic agencies still held in Manchuria. There was no indication in the broadcast that the Soviet economic agencies had been disbanded or withdrawn from Manchuria. In 1945 the Chinese Nationalists complained bitterly that the Rus - v J i1 i "-- .--.-.y-r- ... taok UH svs to cmapJeU. sians were "stripping" Manchuria of millions of dollars worth of its industrial might developed by the Japanese. In 1946 on a first-hand Inspec tion tour a group of American newspapermen, including this cor respondent, confirmed that "strip ping" had taken place in the in dustrial centers of Mukden and Changchun. Russian military authorities then took the position that the Japanese built industries of Man churia were "war booty" and as such the rightful property of the Russian army. Stock Market Prices Take Turn Upward NEW YORK, Jan. 20 -JPf- A swing to higher prices today clim axed a week in which the stock market paused only briefly in its forward movement. In four days out of six the mar ket advanced. The two days of declining prices were regarded in Wall Street as evidence of hesit ancy rather than retreat. The week was loaded with de velopments that at times past might have upset the market com pletely or hit it with a resounding smack things like President Tru man's huge war budget, the in crease in margin requirements in securities markets, and the shake up in the high command of the economic stabilization admimstra tion. But soaring prices and wages, and the strong flow of investment money into the stock market, kept anve the tear or more inflation which has been one of the most impelling forces behind higher prices being bid for stocks. The volume of trading expanded sharply during the week to 18,- 248,000 shares, the largest since the week of Oct. 23, 1937. when the total was 22,163,000 shares. The volume today was 1,140,000 Needlecraft Lovely, bold design in simplest filet crochet. Each square s inter' esting to do: and you have a xnas- terpleco when squares are joined.

During the course of a quick visit to Eighth army headquarters in Korea, the United Nations com mander said confidently, "No one is going to drive us into the sea." But he twice made clear in a 400-word statement that his out numbered forces were holding on while awaiting instructions. This was the first time a top ranking military official has un derscored international indecision over whether U.N. forces would stay or leave Korea. It has been indicated, but not pin-pointed in diplomatic negotiations since the Chinese Red army first hit the XJH. forces last November. MacArthur said, "this command intends to maintain a military po sition in Korea just as long as the statesmen of the United Nations decide we should do so," but he made clear that his forces could not expect to match the potential military might of Communist China's millions. The allied forces, he said, now stand "resolute and undefeated. awaiting that further political de cision which can only come from the chancellories of the world now faced with this entirely new and unanticipated problem. Considering that the entire mil itary might of Communist China is available against this relatively small command, only by maneuver may it avoid hazards inherent in the great odds which it now faces." After conferring with his top field commander, Lt. Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway, MacArthur re turned to Tokyo showing more confidence and poise than at any time in the past two months. Less than a week short of his 71st birthday, the U.N. commander appeared fresh and well groomed after his hour and one-half visit to Ridgway's headquarters. The visit itself his eighth to Korea since the war began was described as "routine." SUBMARINE MOUNTAINS LA JOLLA, Calif. -UP)- A big mountain range under water in mid-Pacific has been found by a VS. Navy-University of California expedition. It extends from Wake Island to Necker Islsfnd and is 1,000 miles long, 100 miles wide and 14,000 feet high. Coral was dredg ed up from tops of the range at 6,000 feet depth. Since coral grows only above 200 feet, it is assumed that. the tops of the range were once above water. shares as compared with 1,070,000 shares a week ago.

The homeless families were taken in by neighbors. Only casualties were frostbitten thumbs and eyelids. A policeman and fireman had to remove their boots and separate their toes, which had frozen to gether. Marines Call Up Air Reservists WASHINGTON.

Indochina to Seek Support From People By Seymour Topping SAIGON, Vietnam, Indochina, Jan. 2MiP)-Chief of State Bao Dai today ordered Premier Tran Van Huu to reshuffle his cabinet in an attempt to rally greater pop ular support In the face of the mounting military power of communist-led nationalists. The premier was directed to dis solve the cabinet which took office last April and form a new one more broadly representative of anti-communist elements. His task was not easy, for the majority of Vietnamese have been lured by the nationalistic demands for full independence from the French as voiced by Moscow-educated Ho Chi Minn, leader of the Vietminh rebellion. Many observ ers believed iiich influential ASSOCIATED PRESS STAFFERS Pacific '' V?'. V" X ' , ' groups as the northern Catholics will bold aloof from ex-Emperor Bao Dai's French-sponsored Viet nam republic until the French def initely have gained the upper hand in the military field. The premier may be able to form a slightly broader govern ment, however, because of negoti ations which resulted in the tech nical realization of agreements with the French and made Viet nam semi-independent. Working to his advantage, too, was the French success this week in turning back the Vietminh's most ambitious offensive north of Hanoi, the northern capital. The Vietminh is estimated to have used 35,000 to 40,000 well equipped troops in the offensive. But the main thrust, about 30 miles northwest of Hanoi, was turned back. Gen. Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, French commander, warned yes terday there was a strong possi bility a new offensive will be launched before February 6, the Vietnamese and Chinese new year. Donald R.
