Act Considered
As Peace Step
By SAM SUMMERLIN
TOKYO, Feb. 28 — (AP) —
Diplomats signed an agreement to
day _providing that American
troops will stay in Japan indefinit
ely on just about the same terms
as exist now.
No limit was set on the size or
composition of the occupation
forces. No time limit was set on the
length of their stay.
The agreement implements the
U. S. — Japan security pact signed
at San Francisco last September.
It will become effective automa
tically when the peace treaty is
ratified.
Dean Rush, Chief U. S. negotia
tor of the agreement, hailed it as
“another step toward peace.”.
. The dosument provides imme
diate consulation for joint de
fense of Japan “in the event of
hostilities, or imminently threat
ened hostilities.”
The pact covers administrative
details for keeping American gar
sion forces in Japan when the oc
cupation ends. It provides:
Provisions
1. The U. S. may bring into
Japan whatever armed forces are
needed, their dependents and at
tached civilians.
2. Japan will grant the necessary
facilities and land for garrison
forces.
3. The U. S. retains criminal
jurisdiction over everyone brought
in this agreement.
4. The U. S. retains wide tax
exemptions.
5. The two governments will co
operate to “ensure the security of
the United States armed forces,”
dependents, civilians and property.
6. Japan will furnish necessary
facilities, rights of way, etc.
7. Japan will contribute $155,-
000,000 yearly for procurement
by the United States of transporta
tion and other requisite services
and supplies in Japan.”
The agreement covers only Am
erican forces.
If other nations in the occupa
tion forces are to remain in Japan
after the peace they would have to
negotiate separate pacts.
The document lays down the
broad outlines for future mainten
ance of U.S. troops in Japan.
Further details will be worked out
by joint consultation.
A “preliminary working group”
was created to begin negotiations
“on an urgent basis” to determine
exactly what facilities and areas
1. S. garrison forces will need.
work, and canning. There are
Community Exhibits for both
white and colored each year that
draw numbers of exhibits from
communities of this area. Facili
ties at the fair last year were en
larged to take all entries and will,
from all probability, be enlarged
again this year.
Exhibits
In addition to these exhibits,
swine and poultry shows, live
stock competition and community
sponsored concessions booths, the
fair each year provides a well
known carnival for the entertain
ment of the public. Last year the
featured show was Prell’s Broad
way with all of the entertaining
and educational highlights which
fascinate fair-goers.
With the numercus improve
ments that have been realized at
the local fairground, off Sunset
Drive near the VFW Club, Ath
enians have been quick to realize
the importance of the Ag Fair and
last year attended all nights of the
week long fair in huge numbers,
even on nights of heavy rains.

For President’s Office
Truman Will Tell
Plans After Trip
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28— (AP).
Senator Richard B. Russell of
Georgia announced today he will
seek the Democratic nomination
for President.
Russell said in a statement he
could “do no less than comply”
with the unanimous requests of
the Georgia General Assembly and
the state’s Democratic Executive
Committee that he become a can
didate.
As the second Democrat to make
a formal entrance in the race,
Russell cast himself as a “Jeffer
sonian Democrat who believes in
the greatest practicable degree of
local self-government.”
Senator Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee is the other announced
candidate for the Democratic
nomination.
President Truman told his news
conference today he will not say
whether he will run for renomi
nation until he returns from a trip
to Florida, probably late in March,
A number of Southern Demo
crats have been urging Russell to
make the race. They said that if
the President ran again they
wanted their own candidate so
that they could support him
wholeheartedly,
Russell had conferred this
morning with a Georgia delegation
which handed him a resolution
adopted Monday by the State
Democratic Executive Committee.
The resolution read in part
“Your nation calls you to assume
leadership in these troubled times.
You cannot fail them.”
Among those in the Georgia
group were Charles Bloch, chair
man of a subcommittee from the
State Democratic Committee
named to present the resolution to
Russell; James S. Peters, chairman
of the Georgla State Democratic
Executive Committee; Benton
Odum, Newton; Mrs. Julius Y.
Talmadge, Athens; Lt. Gov. Mar
vin Griffin, Bainbridge; Speaker
of the Georgia State House Fred
Hand; Mrs. Iris F. Blitch, Georgia
National Committeewoman;
Spence M. Grayson, president pro
tem of the Georgia State Senate
and B. D. Murphy, Governor Her
man Talmadge’s chief of staff.
The quric?%ns who p}:m to see
Russell are ‘Frank Upchurch, H.
Er ‘Wolf and James fiugh?é,, all of
St. Augustine. -
Upchurch told a reporter they
hoped to see Russell later in the
day to urge him to run, but had
not made an appointment.
“We'll be glad to support him
if he’ll run,” he said.
In a news conference exchange
with reporters, Truman did not
commit himself to an announce
ment on his return but knocked
down speculation that he might

By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 —(AP)
— Senator Sparkman (D-Ala) said
today he hopes the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee will ask Gen,
Dwight D. Eisenhower to return
from Europe soon. to testify on
U. S. aid to North Atlantic Treaty
Nations.
“I am not trying to entangle him
in a political situation,” Spark
man said, adding:
“I just think it would be quite
helpful if our committee could get
Eisenhower’'s views before Con
gress decides how much to vote
this year in aid to Western Euro
pe. After all, as Supreme Com
mander there he knows more about
the situation than any other man.”
Senator Brewster (R-ME), an
other Foreign Relations members
who is supporting Senator Taft
of Ohio for the Republican Presi
dential nomination, said Eisen
hower’s testimony “might contri
bute something of value if his ap
pearance could be completely di
vorced from the Presidential poi
itical picture.”
The main lawmaker made it
clear, however, that he doubts
there could be such a separation.
Eisenhower has said he would ac
cept the Republican nomination
but won’t seek it. He also has sald
he will not ask to be relieved as
commander of the North Atlantic
Forces to try for pelitical office.
Sparkman and Brewster expres
sed their views regarding Eisen
hower to newsmen as Senator
Russell of Georgia made ready to
receive a home state delegation at
tempting to put him into the De
mocratic Presidential race.
In expressing the hope Eisen
hower will be called before the
Senate Foreign relations Commit
tee, Sparkman said:
“It has been just about a year
since the General was before our
Commitee. At that time the build
ing of the European defense army
was just getting started.
“He said then he would come
back and report te- us from time
to time. He has been back once
briefly but he did not get a chance
to go before any congressional
committee. I am not saying he
should do so sometime soon, but I
hope he will.”
The President reportedly will
aslk Congress early next month to
follow up Atlantic Pact decisions
at Lizsbon by appropriating about
$7,900,000,000 to continue foreign
military and economic aid another
year. _ 3
Sparkman declined to say
whether he would move that
Eisenhower be called to testify
when the hearings start, possibly
the latter part of March.

UN Negotiators
Ask China Reds
For Accounting
By GEORGE A. McARTHUR
MUNSAN, XKorea, Feb. 28 —
(AP)—U. N. truce negotiators to
day asked the Communists for an
other accounting of non-Korean
civilians believed captured by the
Reds.
Staff officers handed back to
the armistice subcommittee the
deadlock over voluntary repatria
tion of prisoners. The officers
reached virtual agreement on all
other points. The subcommittee
will meet Friday.
Negotiations on truce supervis
ion appeared deadlocked on Com
munist insistence that, Soviet Rus
sia be named to a neutral super
visory commission.
Allied staff officers handed
Communist delegates a list of 57
names—two more then were on
the original U, N. list Dec. 30. The
new names are those of the Rev.
Father Jean Colin, a French Cath
olic missionary, and Alfred Gerald
Matti, a Swiss national.
The Reds disclosed late last
month that 48 foreign civilians are
interned in North Korea, but 28
weren’t on the Allied list. Thus
the U. N. still seeks an accounting
of 30 civilians who may be held
by the Communists.
Col, James C. Murray ?ave Red
negotiators the new Allied list
after the Communists agked for a
guarantee that foreign nationals
in Allied-held territory would be
returned. Muyrray said he knew
of none and asked for names.
However, he indicated there
would be no objections to writing
such a guarantee into the armis
tice agreement.
Murray also asked the Reds to
exchange information on all pri
soners ever held by either side.
The Communists gave no indica
tion they would comply. ~
The staff officers working on
prisoner exchange plans wound up
22 days of wrangling Thursday
with virtual agreement on all but
the key issue—voluniary repatria
tion.
The prisoner exchange subcom
mittee will take over this thorny
problem again in a meeting sche
duled for 11 a. m., Friday (9 p. m,
EST Thursday) in Panmunjom.
The subdelegates have not met
since Feb. 6.
Negotiations on truce super
vision bogged down completely.

Hears Acheson's Reports
Hearts Are Sad
. : 1
For H-Bomb Site
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Editor
AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 28—(AP).
This weekend the town of Ellen
ton ceases to exist—a place of
beautiful homes, more than a
century old, a historic early
American monument,
It had to go to make part of the
room for the huge H-bomb plant
that covers 815 square miles of
South Carolina across the Savan
nah river near here.
A year and three months ago
notice was given, and March 1 is
the deadline when every person,
business, interest and every home
has to be gone. What is left prob
ably has to be destroyed.
All Ellenton’s 600 people are
gone and 80 of their 150 houses.
They are amond 6,000 persons
similarly moved from the vast
military area.
Bitter Hearts
Ellenton's story is typical of
them all. Even though this is
rrobably the most kindly eonduct
ed of all dictated evacuations, and
though many Ellentonians and
others have reaped rich financial
rewards, the story is sad. There is
bitterness in many hearts today.
“They looked at 114 sites before
they came here for H-bombs., Why
did this have to happen to me?”
is a typical reaction.
On group is attempting to start
a new Ellenton, near the reserva
tion, but many miles from their
old home, in a nct-se-beautiful
site. Many have scattered, fin
ishing life-long neighborliness.
Among some there is a sense of
injustice at not getting what they
believe is replacement value for
what they had to give up.
These values were not lost for
any lack of effort to be generous
by the U. 8. Atomic Energy Com
mission, and state, county and
federal agricultural and’ engineer
authorities. It is just a case of
the difficulties of justice by fiat.
Replacements
They are getting schools pro
vided by government. Removal of
graves and cemeteries is free, En
gineers appraised the land liberal
ly, at better than current values.
People who were land-poor—llots
of area with little productivity—
junmiped to comparative wealth.
Others, by the time they got their
money on smaller parcels of land,
couldn’t replace because outside
land had skyrocketed in this area
at boomtown rates.
Some took their complaints to
court and juries have never failed
to give them more. But many
haven’t the means to go to court.
Hardest hit were among tenant
farmers, both negro and white.
They had no land to sell. They
had no more jobs. Many were too
old to compete for jobs in new
areas. Still more were heart
broken to leave.

Secretary May Be Asked To Explain
Some Of Conference Decisions
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.— (AP) —Secretary of State
Acheson today met with the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee in the first stage of what may become a battle ever
foreign aid funds.
The Secretary reported in a closed session on results of
the Lisbon conference of the 14-nation North Atlantie
Treaty Organization (NATD). »
Acheson returned yesterday from the Lisbon conference
which decided on a formula for merging German units into
a European army, and set a 300-billion dollar budget for
Western European defense. -
Members of the House commit
tee already have expressed belief
that U. S. Foreign Aid should be
geared to the actual progress made
by European countries toward uni=-
fication. .
In that sense, Acheson’s report
on the Libson meeting was a pre
lude to the administration’s for
thcoming request for funds.
Administration statements made
clear in advance that Acheson,
President Truman and other lead
ers were confident they would be
able to report enough progress to
justify the proposed $7,900,000,-
0000 mutual security appropriation
request the President is expected
to submit in about two weeks.
However, it was certain Acheson
would be called on to explain some
of the conference decisions which
so far have been treated only in
the broadest generalities.
Outstanding among these is the
announcement that the interna
tional force now commanded b{
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will
have a total of 80 divisions in a
state of “appropriate combat read
iness’ by the end of this year.
Next Monday Acheson will testi
fy at a closed session of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
Tomorrow night he will make a
radio and television speech to the
nation. (9:30 p. m. EST on NBC
and Mutual Radio newtworks, and
Dumont-TV, It is to be carried
again by NBC-TV at 11:15 p. m,
and rebroadcast at 11:30 p. m. by
ABC.) Pl
Senate Group
Meantime the Senate group cen
tered its attention today on the
proposal .that this country join
Canada in__construction the 818
million dollar St. Lawrence sea
way. Senator Wiley (R-Wis) said
he would urge the committee
to take an early vote but chairman
Connally (D-Tex), foe of the pro
ject, said he did not know when
the committee might act.
The Senate is expected to take
