aggressive boss of Price Admin

cause of recurrent physical dis

bring announcement soon of the
selection of Senator Prentiss M.

st. Ignace, Mich, as the new
OPA chief.
Brown, defeated for reelec-
ton, will be ineligible to serve

Warns Russia Of Peril

BY KINGSBTRY SMITH

WASHINGTON, Jan, 3l.-Ro-
Sponsible diplomatic quarters IN
Washington today disclosed that
the United States has warned
Russia of the danger of japanese
attack on Siberia if the japanese
gain control of the southern
Pacific.
The warning has been delivered
informally in the course OF con
Iversations between representatives
of the two governments.
The United States has not gone
so far as TO suggest TO Russia that
lii should Immediately enter the
Pacific conflict. The effort has
been directed more at having the
Soviet government bear in minc
the dangers IT Will face if the
United Nations are driven from
their bases in the South Pacific.
II has been pointed out TO the
Russians that such an eventually
would leave the Japanese free tOl
a spring offensive against Russia
campaign that probably would
take the form of a pinccrS move
with Germany attacking stimuli
taneouSly in the west.
