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.

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

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

Commander
Adds Pledge
Of Strength
By Rossell Brines
TOKYO, Jan. 20 -JPy- General
MacArthur today politely but
bluntly declared it was up to the
western powers to make up their
minds what to do about the war
with Communist China.
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."

Fire in Fairbanks
Burns Apartment
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Jan. 20
-0$")- Five families were made
homeless by a $50,000 apartment
house fire last night.
A frozen fire hose in 50 degree

shuttled a half mile to bring water
to the fire.
Cause of the blaze was undeter

taken in by neighbors.
Only casualties were frostbitten

A policeman and fireman had to

their toes, which had frozen to

Indochina to

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

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

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

bility a new offensive will be
launched before February 6, the
