Sunday, July 25, 1954 Russia Hurrying To Wean Japan From Side Of U.S. Trade Lure May Be Enticing Know Nippon Needs Help By KEYES BEECH Beacon Journal 1-Chicago Daily News Wire TOKYO- Shooting wars for the control of Asia may be over but a greater and potentially far more dangerous Communist offensive is already under way. Peiping and Moscow didn't wait until the guns cooled in Indochina to launch a politicaleconomic campaign aimed at separating the United States from what many observers regard as its only major ally in Asia--Japan. It was obvious today that Peiping and Moscow, having elbowed the United States out of Indochina, bent on doing the same thing in Japanbut without shooting. What's more, official and unofficial observers agreed, they stand a better than fair chance of success.

THE TIPOFF to the Com- munist strategy came three days ago in Moscow when Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei I. Vishinsky spoke honeyed words to a visiting Japanese Diet delegation. Vishinsky told the Japanese that Russia wanted to establish formal diplomatic relations with Japan and generally im prove relations between the two countries. But even before relations are established, Vishinsky said, Russia wants to establish trade and cultural relations. Japan doesn't care a cocoon about Communist culture but it cannot live without trade.

And the main fact of life in Japan today is that this country is caught in a rapidly deeconomic crisis with veloping, increased foreign trade the only cure for its sickness. Peiring and Moscow are just as aware of Japan's economic plight as Japan itself. And they can be counted on to exploit it for all it is worth. Observers consider the next six months especially critical. WHILE AMERICAN thinking on Asia still is dominated by military considerations, Peiping and Moscow are talking about trade and peace.

Nothing could have more appeal to war weary Asia, particularly Japan. According to the Japanese press the grow. ing number of suicides can be laid to economic causes. After living high off the hog during the Korean war boom, Japan is now undergoing stern deflation. Even staunchly anti-Communist Japanese doubt if they will be able to resist Communist trade lures much longer.

THE 15-MAN Japanese delegation now in Moscow went with one purpose to drum up trade. Since no diplomatic ties exist between the two countries Russia refused to sign the San Francisco peace treaty the Dietmen's visit to Moscow was Illegal, according to Japanese law. They went to Helsinki to arrange entry into Russia. But it is significant that all members of the delegation are dyed-in-the-wool conservatives and members of Japan's ruling Liberal party which is generally considered liberal only. In.

going to Moscow they were reacting to pressure of popular discontent from the bottom. In Japan any political party that can deliver business will get votes. JAPAN HAS long chafed under American restrictions on its trade with Red China. With the Indochina war over and economic conditions getting steadily worse, the Japanese can be expected to become increasingly restive. Business circles point out that last year West Germany sold $25,000,000 worth of goods to Red China while Japan, China's neighbor, sold only $450,000.

However, Japan -China trade took a marked upward turn in May thanks to Red bait. Japan traded China 16.500 tons of fertilizer for 5,500 tons of rice. The amount involved was trifling enough. But the Japanese were so impressed with the low price and high quality of Chinese rice, they ordered 30.000 tons more return for 90.000 tons of fertilizer. Last year Japan suffered a $1 billion real trade deficit.

United States Army purchases in Japan made up for $800 mililion of this. But this year American procurement Japan is being sharply and sizable troop cut" withdrawals are in prospect. Coast Trail Followed California Visit Probed CLEVELAND (P) While a coroner's inquest here marked time, two investigators today followed the trail of a California visit Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard and his pretty wife Marilyn made last March.

They wanted to talk with people Mrs. Sheppard visited in northern California and others the doctor associated with in southern California. It has been three weeks since the young osteopath's pregnant wife was battered to death in the bedroom of the Sheppard home in the western lake shore suburb of Bay Village. THOMAS J. PARRINO, an assistant prosecutor of Cuyahoga County, and Robert Schottke, a detective on the Cleveland police force, went first to sanche near Monterey, where Sheppard had been a guest.

Their next destination was more than 300 miles to the south, in the Los Angeles area, where Dr. Sheppard had stayed at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Miller while taking a postgraduate course in osteopathy. They to interview Miss Susan Hayes, 23, who also was a guest at the Miller home.

Miss Hayes had been a laboratory technician at the Bay View Hospital until earlier this year. IN HIS TESTIMONY at the inquest, Dr. Sheppard denied being intimate with the young technician. He said 'his wife knew Miss Hayes and had sug. gested that he look her up while in Los Angeles.

He acknowledged that he bought the young woman a watch to replace one she lost when they went to San Diego with friends to attend a wedding. The two investigators also were believed to be seeking the testimony of Mrs. Dorothy Shabala, at whose home Miss Hayes now lives. Mrs. Shabala also had been an employe of the Bay View Hospital.

MAYOR J. Spencer Houk of suburban Bay Village said Saturday he took a lie detector test July 13 in connection with the case. The mayor and his wife were the first persons called by Dr. Sheppard the day of the murder. They had been friends for more than two years.

Mayor Houk said he volunteered for the test because: "I felt it my duty and obligation to take the test for the public interest and in my continuing effort to lend every possible assistance to the authorities toward a solution of the case." Dr. Sheppard has refused to as take the test. He has also rejected a suggestion that he take a "truth serum" test. Coroner Samuel R. Gerber's inquest will be resumed here Monday.

Loots Jail But Good 'Twas Clean Sweep That Oscar Made LOUISVILLE, Ky. (P)-Oscar Pierce is not a man who wastes his time. Pierce, 46, was released from the city workhouse after serving 10 days on a drunkenness charge. Suspicious guards, seeing him walk to the rear of a 20- foot stone wall enclosing the workhouse, followed.

There they said they found him picking up the following workhouse equipment: A complete toilet-tank flushing mechanism, five brass valves, a toilet-tank bulb, a soldering iron, a pair of work gloves and a pair of work shoes. Guards guessed that Pierce had thrown the items one by one over the wall during his stay in the workhouse. They quoted him as saying he had a repair job to do. Pierce was sentenced to 90 days in jail for petty larceny. where they were married is the bridegroom's sis.

Local 856 of the CIO United Automobile Workers let go with a statement damning Goodyear Aircraft Corp. for allegations the latter had made earlier. In it the company was charged with trying to "break the union" and notice was given that there will be no "sellout" in the new contract the two are negotiating.

Parish, who suffered a broken left collar bone and is reported in a state of shock, and a daughter Valerie, age 6, who suffered only minor abrasions. The third American among the survivors was named as Peter S. Thatcher of Stoning. ton, whose condition was described as satisfactory following removal of a small piece of metal from his left thigh. Those three were among sur.

vivors taken to Hong Kong by an amphibious U. S. Air Force plane from Clark Field in the Philippine Islands. Dulles said the attack on the Cathay Pacific commercial airliner was a "wanton" assault by the two fighter planes. He said the British government had sent word that it had ordered "a strong protest" to be made by its diplomatic representative at Peiping, the capital of Red China.

IT APPEARED, however, the United States was taking a much stronger and more angry line on the incident even than the British government. The Dulles declaration said: "The United States government takes the gravest view of this act of further barbarity for which the Chinese Commutional nist regime must be held responsible. The action to be taken by United States will be subsequently announced." In the Senate, Sen. H. Alexander Smith, New Jersey Re.

publican, got unanimous consent to interrupt the long debate over atomic legislation to read the Dulles statement. Smith called the situation "critical." Sen. Humphrey, Minnesota Democrat, who was making a speech at the time, said he hopes this nation "does not tolerate such conduct" and upholds its honor. REP. JUDD, Minnesota Re- publican, said the incident is another reason why Communist China must not be admitted to the United Nations.

Calling it "the latest example of the true character of the Chinese Communist regime," Judd declared in a statement: "This is the lawless regime we have been urged to accept into the United Nations as a peace-loving government." Judd, a member of the House foreign affairs committee, said the attack on the plane had a "hard headed" purpose. "In this case they demonstrate to the world their own power and their contempt for the weakness of others. They seek to intimidate the peoples of Asia the belief it is use. less to enter into collective ar. rangements with the Western nations for self-defense.

"They remind the European nations how vulnerable are (Continued From Page One) limited to one hour for each of the 96 senators. However, it takes the vote of the two-thirds of the Senate membership, or 64 votes, to put cloture into effect, and there seemed to be slight prospect that the GOP leadership could muster that many votes. No effort to invoke cloture under the present two-thirds rule has been successful since its adoption in 1949. THE MARATHON session came to an end just before midnight after running continuously, except for one brief interruption, since 10 a. m.

on Wednesday. A 25-minute recess had been taken in the wee hours of Friday morning as a safeguard to assure compliance with rules for getting a vote on the cloture petition on Monday. Except for that break, the session was the longest shown in records kept by the Senate Press Gallery. The longest non-stop session on record ran for 54 hours and 10 minutes during a ship purchase act battle in 1915. their remaining interests in China, such as Hong Kong.

In short, they are underlining the magnitude of their victory in Indochina in order to get the maximum propaganda benefit out of it." that allowing for time differ. ences between Geneva, Washington and Hong Kong, the attack had occurred a little more than 24 hours after the final Indochina peace settlements were made at Geneva and the machinery to end the shooting began to go into operation. The settlements were accompanied by Peiping and Moscow statements about how this proved the peace-loving disposition of the Red regimes. Dulles made clear at a news conference Friday that the American Government considers this is propaganda talk and that nothing basic in Communist behavior has changed. Apparently he feels that the shooting down of the plane proves the point.
