MONROE (LA.) MORNING WORLD JUNE ll, 1950 DIARY REVEALS Continua from Firtl moving government documents illegally The Star story, which observed that Forrest a1 acted the highest broke as buzzed with suggestions for getting access to his diary. They sought possible clues to the origin of the goslow proposal in the controversial Am era si a case diarj is locked up in the White House where it has remained since he died last year in a plunge from an upper window of Naval Hospital here. He then was secretary of defense. The Star said its information came from notes among Mr papers In New York It added that the data is expected to be made available Monday to the senate foreign relations subcommittee investigating the asia case This inquiry concerns the question whether the justice department was diligent in handling the case in view of the outcome Officials testified that the prosecution collapsed because evidence was illegally obtained Some critics dispute this point The subcommittee is investigating the Amerasia case as an outgrowth of charges by Senator McCarthy that the state department is under Communist influences He asserted that the Amerasia episode is the key to a Red network in the government. The investigators only this week were working on the mystery on which the story shed new light.

The diary notes showed, the Siar said, Mr. Forrestal acted in the case after being informed on Monday, May 28, 1945, by one of his special assistants, MaJ. Mathias Correa, that arrests were scheduled to be made two days later, including a lieutenant in naval This reference was to Andrew Roth, ho was assigned as a son man with the state department. Roth was one of the three indicted in the case, but the charge against him was dropped. The two who paid fines were Philip Jacob Jaffe, the editor, and Emmanuel Sigurd Larsen then a state department ploye Another state department em- plove, John Service, was never indicted.

McCarthy has attacked him as pro Communist. Service and the state department have denied it Service is still with the department as a diplomatic officer The diary, in Its May 28 entry, was quoted as relating; Correa reported to me that thp department of justice had evidence to the effect that Lt. Andrew Roth had been furnishing confidential and secret documents to a man named Jaffe, head of a publication named Amerasia in New York City. Jaffe has had intimate relationships with the Russian consul in New York departments of the government involved are the office of strategic the state department and the foreign economic administration. Correa reported that it was proposed that Lt.

Roth should be taken into surveillance Wednesday.

Chuikov said Capt. Tuynila and Sgt Smirnov, both members of the Soviet repatriations mission in the French zone, were injured in a collision with a German car while they traveling through the American zone near Nuernberg Sunday en route to French headquarters in Baden-Baden. He complained that both were not given the necessary aid by American military police arriving at the scene. On the contrary, he said, the military police them and maltreated the seriously injured Capt. Tuynila by dislocating his arm and kicking him on the chest and A German doctor from the town of Pegnitz was forbidden to aid the Russians, he added.

Moreover, the general wrote, American authorities had not permitted the chief of the Soviet military mission in the American zone to visit the men in hospital. From all this. Chuikov con- OFFICIALS IVE (Continued from First P8ge) with MacArthur. Their trip was announced first, in fact, and there has been some speculation that decision to go about the same time was prompted by the desire of the state department high command to share in the development of any policy idea which MacArthur, Johnson and Bradley might evolve. At the moment the situation is badly tangled up.

MacArthur probably comes nearer holding the key to it than any of the other participants in the Tokyo talks because of his prestige and experience in the field of Far Eastern policy. The views of the commander for the allied occupation, therefore, will have a great, perhaps decisive effect on what Johnson, Bradley and Dulles advocate in the way of U. S. government action when they get back to Washington. Persons here who are familiar with views all agree that he believes the occupation must soon be brought to an end lest it become unpopular in Japan and therefore useless, even harmful, to Fnited States Interests.

He has generally favored a peace treaty as the way to end the occu -pation.

Best informed officials say they are not certain exactly what MacArthur means on this point. That unquestionably is one question which both Johnson and Dulles will want him to answer. The state and defense department have differed over when the occupation should be ended (state says as soon as But they have agreed on the principle that even though a peace treaty could 1 be written very quickly American troops would have to remain in Japan for a long time as defense forces against Russia.

The state department is already applying a parallel policy in Germany. The London meeting of western foreign ministers last month was followed by an effort to begin shifting western troops in I Germany from an occupation to a defense status. It is in another parallel between the German and Japanese situations that talk of a Pacific defense pact, roughly similar to the North Atlantic alliance of America and western Europe, comes up. Th assumption of American officials is that in Japan as in Germany it will be impossible to make a peace treaty with Russia. Now also there is the problem of Communist China which Britain recognizes and the United States does not.

No one seems to know quite where it should fit into the picture. At the same time, MacArthur and the state department strongly feel that something has to be done to end the occupation. If all the Issues involved in settling a war can not be wrapped up in a single document such as the peace treaty ihen perhaps they can be settled separately. That is the thinking as to an alternative course which might be followed. College from June 12 to July 14.

(Peiping earlier called his purge of the 24 members of the Communist central committee and 17 editors of Akahata absurd as it is It called for from the people.) A second purported assassination plot against MacArthur within IO days wras reported and again dismissed by key U. S. officials as a fake. They said a letter was intercepted two days ago containing a vague reference to a plan to kill the occupation commander.

They considered it the work of a crank and have taken no extra precautions. A Japanese was arrested June I after repeating details of a purported assassination plot. He has been sent to a hospital for the insance. The Japanese government so far has taken no steps to outlaw the Communist party, as one official last week said it had agreed to do. Instead the emphasis appeared to be on the other measures.

Education Minister Teivu Amano announced that action w-ould be taken against the student Students have been active in support of Communist rallies and strikes. Government circles indicated Amano would try to dissolve the Communist dominated national federation of students self-government organizations. Police headquarters in a conference with investigation and security section chiefs from Tokyo's 73 police stations ordered an intensive campaign against the spread of anti-occupation propaganda. Police already have forbidden mass demonstrations and subordinates were told to see that the ban was enforced. In continuing raids today, police arrested Hidetaro Ikeda, head of one of the city's Communist cells.

He is suspected of violating the imperial ordinance forbidding criticism of the occupation.

Also marching with the President was Mayor Joseph M. Darst of St. Louis, a former 35th division infantryman. Virtually everybody was pretty well exhausted by the time the head marchers reached the reviewing except the 66-year-old President, that is. There wasn't a bead of perspiration on his cheeks, a wrinkle in his white suit.

Gov. Smith was puffing and panting. And so were many of the others. SOVIETS BLASTED (Continued (rom Flrsf Page) (Continued from First Page) Toledo Health Commissioner Walter Hartung told police. Later State Highway Patrolman P.
