Conference 10 Learn
Soviet Relief Needs
Early This Week
~Moscow's Attitude on
UNRRA's Problems
Heretofore UnreveoIed
BY BLAIR BOLLES,
Star Staf CorreSpondent.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov.
l3.-The Russian delegation to
the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Conference is ex-
pected to reach Atlantic City to-
morrow or Monday with high
figure request for assistance to
put the Soviet's war-damaged
areas back on their feet.
The conference is handicapped in
making decisions without the Rus
sian estimates, which are in the dis
patch case of Delegate Vasili Alex
aseevich Sergeev, Soviet deputy
commissar for foreign trade, who Is
on his way from Moscow. China
has presented no estimates either
but the opportunity to provide re-
lief for Axis-occupied areas in Rus
sia is expected to come sooner than
in China.
Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gromy-
ko, acting in place of the absent
Commissar Sergeev, today launched
the UNRRA conferences General
Policy Committee into its work with
a brief statement urging action and
decision.
Silent on Soviet Needs.
But he left his committee COL
leagues without an inkling of Rus
sias war relief needs and attitude
toward the specific economic social
and political questions that arise
out of the UNRRA meeting.
The paramount task of the Gen
eral Policy Committee will be to
report to the conference on the
scope of UNRRA's activities, which
will have to take into consideration
the Russian needs.
The conference wants to know
not only what Russia requires for
herself but how Russia views the
whole UNRRA idea as an excursion
into international cooperation. The
conference already has a general
understanding of the position of the
American, British and Chinese gov
ernments toward the relief and re-
habilitation undertaking.
Those four powers have the
strongest roles of the "A govern
ments which compose UNRRA.
American and British spokesmer
have indicated to the conference
that decisions on matters which
will gravely affect the UNRRA worl
are to be decided on level above
UNRRA and that the Relief Admin.
lstration will have to fix its pol.
icies within the framework of thu
higher politics. However, L. B
Pearson of the Canadian delegation
has delicately raised the question
whether UNRRA should not play s
part in the decisions of the higher
bodies, and the problem has becom,

Consumers, u. ). Save
80 Billions by Price
Controls, 0PA Claims
Mojor Commodities
Cost Less Now Thon
During World War
By JAMES Y. NEWTON

Compared with the World War,
present price controls will save
the public and the Government
$89 900, 100000 through January
l, Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said yesterday.
Statistics compiled by the OPA
show that war goods purchased by
the. Government by the years end
would have cost s67 900 ,OOO, 900 more
at the relatively uncontrolled prices
for materials and services prevail
ing at the close of the last war. That
conclusion is based on an estimated
expenditure for war goods of $l28,-
OOO, 900 900.
Consumers, OPA said, will save
$22. .000, 10000 by the end of the
year because of the generally lower
cost of living in this war.
Projecting the savings of price
control through 1914, OPA said that
by the close of that year war ma
terials savings will reach $121 ,OOO,-
000, 900, based on an expected Gov
ernment expenditure of 1928 ,0O0,-
100000 The savings to consumers
by that time will total $54 900 900 ,OOO
Both figures, however, are based on
the Governments ability to hold
prices at current levels.
A breakdown into commodities
indicates the current price of al
most every major item is far under
the peak cost in the World War
The differential in prices in the
two wars is particularly striking
among the war materials purchased
by the Government. Prices of such
materials have remained virtually
unchanged since before the Pear
Harbor attack.

Navy Reorganization
Brings MassiveF Force
10 Bear Against Japs
Revised Toctico| System
Focuses Striking Power
On II New Carriers
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER.

The Navy now has perfected
one of the greatest tactical re-
organizations in it's history in
order to bring massive air-strik-
ing power against japanese sea
forces and island bases in the
Pacific.
1t is completion of this reorganiza-
ton, as we'll as the launching of
II battle-type aircraft carriers and
hundreds of other ships in the last
two years, which enabled Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz, Pacific fleet
chief, to say last week with full con-
fidence of victory that Our time

A ranking naval leader told this
reporter yesterday that "Just about
all our ships in the Pacific, except
the submarines, have been grouped

I almost felt sorry for the Japs for
the first time in my life"
Problem Is Twofold.
The initial, problem of this
massed force is twofold:
To clear the japanese out of kew
Island positions and, if possible, to
create an opportunity to engage
and destroy the enemy fleet. How
soon the latter stroke can be de-
livered depends, of course, on when
the japanese are willing to come
out and fight.
Reorganization of the Pacific fleet
around aircraft carriers began
tentatively before the enemy attack
on Pearl Harbor. At that time.
this country had seven carriers and
several individual carrier task
forces. The battleship remained
the backbone of the fleet, and the
tactical concept was that in any
engagement it would deliver the
knockout punch.
temporary paralysis of the
battleships, resulting from the Pearl
Harbor bombing, automatically and
quickly forced aircraft carriers into
a fighting role of paramount i'm
portance.
Airmen Promoted.
Subsequently, Rear Admiral John

of Aeronautics, was assigned to Ad-
