WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-—Even if Japanese peace parley goes through all neat, tidy and on schedule next

week, don’t figure onthat being end of headache. It could be only beginning of new ‘worry for State

Right off, Japan's likely ‘to Chinese Nationalist offer of separate peace pact.

reported secret pledge to Washington that Japan will sign—with Free China, Jap politicians are hemming,

hawing.

“They want to sit on fence as long as they can, meanwhile letting Jap businessmen build up big, much-needed trade with Red China, which Communists are inviting. That could lead to formal treaty recognizing Peiping ‘regime—which would upset applecart, nullifying whole effect of our peace-and-security plan for Pacific. Japan's government party—which will decide be-

- tweén Peiping and Formosa—will bow low in thanks for

generous terms of San Francisco treaty, but actually it's

badly split three ways: One faction is for fence-sit-ting. Second favors Red China, for economic reasons, ... And third wants to’ sign up with Chinese Nationalists, hoping Uncle Sam will check to balance losses trade with Red China. NOTE: Chiang Kai-shek will send smooth-talking, Missourieducated Hollington Tong to help Nationalist. causé to

New Conic Fight

CHANCES are growing that c ongress will - tackle another

torrid price-control fight before it quits—even though it’s eager for recess and present controls law is only oné month old. Administration is building

__yeal bonfire to force changes in

new law; says it can’t stop inflation until Congress acts.

Pressure already--is having

effect on powerful , Senate Banking Committee. Chairman Maybank (D. 8. C.) now predicts his group will vote some changes, Says tersely: “We're not going to hold this one in our laps.” If banking committee votes changes, it will ‘be impossible for Senate Democratic leadership to adjourn Congress without acting. House is in recess until Sept. 12. But if administration can prod Senate into action, it's likely to get House going, too.

POLITICAL ANGLE: Senti-,

ment is growing among some Republicans to go along and give President what he's asking® for, in belief it's smart thing to do politically. They fear administration is all set to blame Congress for next round of price increases—by saying present law made it impossible to head 'em off. If administration should take this “tack, GOP is certain it would catch major criticism, though Democrats control Congress. 8 oh.
