without resistance. Most of the

Military men do not think the

across the Yangtze yet to start
rolling in strength toward the big

Meanwhile Shanghai, which had
'taken the situation with relative

nerce seemed grinding to a halt.
The securities exchange was open

Navy Secretary
Sullivan Resigns
WASHINGTON (JP)—Nevy Sec
! retary John L .Sullivan resigned
| yesterday in protest against scrap
ping the 65,000-ton super aircraft
1 carrier.
j Sullivan is known to have sub
mitted his resignation in a talk
I with the President Monday.
His action, which had been ex
pected, is based on his belief that
the navy is not being given pro
per consideration in defense pol
' icy.
Secretary of defense Johnson’s
order Saturday to stop work on the
| $169,000,000 carrier was just one
: of a series of incidents against
which Sullivan is protesting, asso
ciates said.
Top White House aides express
ed belief Sunday night that the
torpedoeing of the carrier project
was “the straw that broke the!
camel’s back” so far as Sullivan
is concerned. > |

Acheson Pleads
For Approval of
Security Treaty
<Contined from Page One)
by the required two-thirds of Sen
ators voting, the entire Senate
membership then w’ill be commit
ted to the principle of mutual as
sistance to the Western European
nations linking themselves against
possible communist aggression.
When Acheson concluded his
statement and leaned back in the
witness chair, chairman Connally
iD.-Tex.) leaned forward and put
the big question:
Could a Senator vote for the
treaty and still oppose the arms
program?
With the crowded hearing room
poised tensely for his answer
Acheson replied:
“It would be pleasant if one
could answer that question ‘yes’ or
“no\ There is something in this |
treaty which requires each mem- j
beo to accept the principle of mu
tual assistance.
“Once it is ratified, a Senator
would be less free to vote against
a military program than he was
before.”

curity council. Jessup had discuss
ed the Soviet proposal at Lake
Success, N. Y., with Jacob A. Ma
lik, the Russian U. N. delegate.
For himself, Jessup told report
ers “things look hopeful.” That
presumably was an indication that
he inclined to the view that the
Soviet proposal is a sincere one
and that there are no hidden con
ditions to be sprung later.
The terms are, first, that thi
Soviet blockade of Berlin and the
western counter-blockade of the
Soviet zone of Germany should be j
lifted simultaneously.
Second, that a date should be j
fixed ahead of time for a meeting
of the Big Four council of foreign
ministers (the Western Powers
plus Russia) to be held after the
blockade is lifted.
These conditions were revealed j
in the Russian announcement in;
Moscow as made through the Sov
iet news agency Tass.

Smuggling Ring
In Penitentiary
SEATTLE, (/P) — Official inves
tigations have uncovered evidence
of widespread dope smuggling in
the state penitentiary at Walla
Walla and the Monroe reforma
tory, Dr. Henry Ness, chairman of
!he state board of prison terms
and paroles, said yesterday.
Ness said one former guard at
the prison is confined to his home
under technical arrest. Names of
other guards involved are known
he said, and arrests will be made
when the case is “nailed down
tight.”
A former convict, on parole
since December, also is being held
in Seattle. Ness said the man had
acted as go-between for the Walla
Walla end of the organization and
sources here supplying the narcot
ics.
The parole board, governor’s of
fice and the department of public
institutions are cooperating in the
investigation with the assistance of
city and county police here and in
Walla Walla, Ness said.
The board chairman revealed
that it was an inmate's mother
who gave authorities their first in
formation on the penitentiary or
ganization where he said large
quantities of narcotics and benze
drine have been smuggled.
