Big-5 Adjournment
 Without Compromise

London, Sept. 25-CUP)-Hopes of ending the Balkan deadlock at the current Big Five Conference faded today and informed observers looked for adjournment Monday or Tuesday without agreement on peace treaties for southeast Europe.
 Only an 1lth hour concession by Russia or France can reopen the Balkan talks, informants said, Rus sia insists that France and China be excluded from the treaty talks, China is willing, but France re- fuses.
 British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin gave the tipoff on the stale mate last night in addressing a po- litical meeting in Wandsworth.
 Tt is better to adjourn for con- sideration than to quarrel" he said.
 British diplomatic correspondents were told to expect the conference to break up Monday or Tuesday with the final meeting devoted to the ticklish problem of agreeing on protocol and the wording Of the final communique.
 These tasks already were before the Foreign Ministers council for today's session, but their comple- tion easily may take several days inasmuch as agreements must be reached unanimously.
 Soviet sources strongly denied hints that Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov intends to leave before the other ministers. Russia is extremely sensitive over the wording of off, cial documents and the preliminary drafting sessions have been diffl- cult.
 The Russians undoubtedly were on guard against any suggestion of a Soviet defeat in the diplomatic bargaining field, particularly con- corning their efforts to gain a voice in the Mediterranean and suhstan- tial Italian separations.
 A responsible American source explained the United States strong stand against Italian reparation payments at this time with an as- sertion that America has poured more than a billion dollars into Italy.
 U. s. Secretary of State James 2. Byrnes was said to have nain- taiIied at an early session of the Big Five Conference that United States in fact would he paying ltal- ian debts if Feparht tions were al- lowed et tnis tlme \

No Housing Relief Here Until Spring
Shortage of Lum- Der, Other Mote- rioIs Seen as Deterrent

Waterbury'S pathetic housing shortage, which has kept thousands searching for homes for the past four years, will not be relieved until early next spring through wartime building bans will be lifted October IS 1t has been learned.
 Scores of local builders, long ready with postwar specifications and plans, are now discovering that lumber will be practically llnob- tainable for many months, due to a labor shortage in the mills at the present time, and the fact that current OPA price ceilings of pro- hibit profit to mill owners on cer- tain types of lumber.
 Though Mobilization Director John w. Snyder recently announced the government will make every effort to increase supplies of build ing materials. through such steps. if necessary, as price and wage in- creases and priorities to break bot tlenecks, local builders entertain no hope of beginning operations before next spring. They point to the fact that 1t will take several months before sufficient lumber can be produced for the many cities af- fectsd by housing shortages, and several months more before the fln- ished product reaches the consumer since the wood must be dried for some time before it is shipped.
 Hence the city's aching hous- ing storage will remain its No. 1 problem for many. months to come. Real estate men have indicated that vacancies are practically non- existent. The exodus of in-emigrant workers, following V-J day layoffs, has been negligent, and hundreds of veterans have already returned with the intention of establishing homes.
 Conditions caused by the need for housing becomes more discouraging, according to rental agencies. An East End family, with two young children, have had their household effects packed for month, but can- not find suitable quarters. The mother reported that the few land- lords who had vacancies voiced ob- lection to the children who are under five years of age. Many dis charged veterans, hoping to return to the peace and quiet of their own

MacArthur Orders Free Jap Press
AboIishes Jop Censorship of Newspapers

Tokyo, Sept. 29- (UP) - Gen. Douglas MacArthur ordered aboli- tion of all Japanese censorship to- day in a sharp rejoinder to the governments suppression of Amer ican interviews with Emperor Hiro- hito.
 He specifically directed the gov- ernment to repeal all restrictions some dating back to 1909--on "any form of the written or. spoken word. T The government was ordered to report its progress in detail on the first and 18th of every month.
 Macarthur acted soon after police confiscated Tokyo's three leading morning newspapers = Mainichi, Asahi and Yomiuri - for carrying interviews with Hirohito by Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, and Frank Kluckhohn of the New York Times.
 Col. Donald D. Hoover, Mac Arthur'S civil censorship officer, notified the homogeneous of the three newspapers that they could resume distribution of the SUD- pressed editions at 1:30 p. m.
 MacArthur's rebuff heightened speculation that Premier Prince Naruhiko Higashi-Kuni's govern ment soon may be forced to re- sign. Today's edition of the Eng lish-language Nippon Times ats tackled the government for its ''mis- judgment and incompetence" during the past few days,
 "The general public is far in ad- vance of government leaders in un- derstanding what the nation must do at this time," the editorial said.
 MacArthur's anti-censorship di- rective actually was drafted Thurs day. but was not announced until after the governments suspension of the three Tokyo newspapers.
 Lt.-Gen. Richard K. Sutherland chief of staff to Macarthur, said the occupation commanders order completed the machinery for es- tablishment of free press in Jap an.
 MacArthur,S order also directed the government to end censorship of mall, telegrams, radio broadcasts transoceanic telephone calls, cables internal telephones and motion pic- lures.
 "Only such restrictions as spe- officially approved by the supreme commander will be permitted" the order said.
 It also provided that:
 1. The power of the government to revoke permission to publish, tc arrest without prior approval of the supreme commander, to impose fines on publications and to curtail paper supplies as punishment fol editorial comment shall not be ex-

Fitzgerald, who prosecuted the first degree murder trial, and Public Defender Edward T. Carmody, chief defense attorney, agreed to continuance of the appeal until the following month.
 Zukauskas was sentenced to death by three superior court judges last Feb. 8, following three-week trial. The staying occurred Nov. l, 1944, and Mrs. Plungis' bullet-riddled body was found three days later m a shallow grave near Middle bury bridle path. Zukauskas is now at Wethersf1eld State Prison. Exc cution of the penalty has been held up by the appeal action.
 Other Hearings
 Hearings have been set for next Thursday, Oct. 4. at 10:30 a. m. in the Chase-Fitzgerald case and in the Falzone- Gruner action. On Fri day, Oct. 5, at 10:30 a. m. the Hart ford court will hear the appeal in the bridge action of the towns of Watertown and Thomaston against the City of Waterbury.

Jobs ForAII Bill Being Opposed

Washington, Sept. 29 -UP) - The Senate sent the adminiStra- tion's Full Employment Bill to the House today with Senate Republ.- cans, including some of the bills supporters, maintaining that il won't work unless the government manages to achieve stable labor management relations.
 The Senate late yesterday passed a somewhat altered form of the bill from the original offered by lti sponsors. The vote for passage was 7l to 10.
 The bill as sent to the House contains three main changes:
 1. Instead of guaranteeing the P'right to work" 1t says Americans are entitled to an opportunity" fo. useful employment.
 2. It stipulates that federal spending to provide the goal of fu'i employment be consistent with government obligations"
 3. It provides that any plan for federal spending to create jobs Or balanced by plan for additional taxes to return the money to the treasury over a period of years.
 Some observers felt tine mai ver- sion was too watered down to be of much value but sponsors apparen . ly considered 1t satisfactory as theJ did not object very strenuously to the amendments.
 The bill now goes to the House which actually has already bee: working on 1t for a week. by way of hearings in the executive ex- penditures committee. The hearings are expected to bG suspended during most of next week, however, in order to allow the committee to concentrate on the Executive Reorganization Blii which they are anxious to bring to the floor.

.BrookIynese Most Poifect Language
BY ROBERT RICHARDS United Press Staff Corresponden


 New York, Sept. 29-CUP)-Most folks say shirt" but that hurts the ears in Brooklyn.
 "In Brooklyn we say 'shoit," John F. Gorden explained. And any body can tell that's prettier, ain't it?"
 Gorden lives in mid-Brooklyn. He said that if New Workers have the b:st voices in the world, as a New York University professor claimed, then Brooklyn people have the best voices in New York.
 I'm on my way to work, so na- turally I'm in no hurry" Gorden said. Look, I'll explain it to you. It ain't no question. see, that Brook lyn speaks the best. Why, it's bound to be the tops. It's right out of this world.
 "It's Brooklynese, that's what 1t is. There ain't another accent in the world where you can just lay on your back some Sunday morning, after a lard Saturday night, and them words just slip right out"
 Gorden's friend, Daniel Hickey, also was on his way to work. He was in no hurry either. He consid- cred the matter seriously while Cor den explained.
 There's another point" Hickey said There's another side to this matter see? It's the only language you can fight all afternoon at a ball game with, and thin shake hands. Now, how do you figure that?"
 T don't like to say it, because maybe I shouldn't" Gorden said, but that professor was right about voices in the south. Me. lived near Charlotte. North Carolina, and I'm telling you, mister, I'm two years trying but I couldn't teach them guys to speak"
 Gorden said "thoss boys down south they just don't speak out, good and clear. Why they couldn't say nice word like .shoit' in a mil- lion years"
 Hickey suggested 1t might be nice if they brought some of the south erners to Brooklyn and taught them how to speak.

 Workers Now Idle
SehweIIenbcch Faces First Strong Mon" Test
(By United Press)

Oil workers and their erl- ployers took the deadlocked refinery wage dispute before top government officials to- day as mounting labor ter- sion posed new threats to the nations basic industries.
 Strikes and shutdown al~ ready in progress kept 715,- 900 U. s. workers away from their jobs, and indirectly af- fected countless others.
 In Washington, where la bor and management of ficials of the oil industry: meet today, Secretary of La bor Lewis B. Schwellenbach faced his first step as strong man" of President Trumans' reorganized labor Set-up.
 Test Case
 Schwellenbach planned to pre- side at today'S opening session, and the trend of the meeting was ex- pected to guide government hand ling of a possible shutdown in the nations coal fields, intimated last night by United Mine Workers Chieftain John L. Lewis.
 The threatened walkout of e00.- 900 mine workers was contained In Lewis message to soft coal operators in which he renewed his demand that supervisory employees be in- cluded in the unions contract.
 Lewis invited the negotiating coila- mittee for the operators to meet on next Monday with UNIV representa- tives, warning that failure to appear would free the union to take such independent action as may be re- quired." tas
 The offer was rejected by the op- orators. who declared they would flight to the last ditch" against unionization of supervisory eirla pioyes and said they did not intend to discuss the issue gnext Monday or any other time"
 Coal Producers
 Edward R. Burke, president of the Southern Coal Producers Associa- ton said the operator would not consider meeting with Lewis until 90, 900 miners returned to their jobS in Pennsylvania and West Virginia pits.
 Strikes and threats of strikes cons tinued to disrupt industrial tram quility as National Labor Relations Board officials expressed concern over a rising flood of requests for strike votes.
 Board members Paul M. Eerzog, John M. Houston and Gerard Reilly said they were pondering the "al- most impossible" situation of having to conduct approximately 300 strike votes in the next 90 days.
 Money Needed
 They said they would have to ask "someone"-presumabay con~ gress-for money and stan to carry out the task. A strike vote in the mine fields alone would cost an esti- mated $2O0,000. '
 An informed Washington soarce predicted that White House inter vention would be necessary to end the oil strike, which has shut down 24 refineries and reduced gasoline and oil supplies by one third.
