SCOUTING REPORTED

American Planes Range Over Island Seflions
 Two Hours Today

SAN FRAN CISCO, June 21.- Tokyo radio \ reported Southern Japan was secuted for two hours today by 56 assorted American air. fighters, Liberator bombers, naval patrol planes and a Superfortress-gathering data for further bombing attacks.
 Report of the strange reconnoit- ering expeditions over most of Kyu- shu Island and the southern tip of Honshu came at the end of series of Tokyo broadcasts telling of Am erican carrier strikes, invasion preparations, Superfort successes and Okinawa fighting.
 These intercepted broad casts said:
 Wake Island was raided yester- day by 300 Allied carried planes.
 The United States already has started long and complicated prep arations to invade Japan.
 B-29s Wednesday cut rail traffic for many hours between two fire bombed cities southwest of Tokyo.
 What is left of Japan's garrison on Okinawa is putting up a hard fight"
 Developments have convinced the Home Affairs Ministry it is a mis- take for Japan to have cities as big as Tokyo and Osaka-and there should be more space between houses.

GUAM, June 21.-Like the sweep of a giants arm, American Army and Navy planes lashed at Japan csc bases and shipping for more than l,500 miles from Hong Kong to Japan itself in operations re- ported today.
 A few sweeps were in fair strength, such as the 200-plane strike which destroyed the supply base of Kari on Formosa's south west coast. Many were search and patrol actions = highly effective, nonetheless, on cumulative basis.
 From south to north, as pieced together by today's communiques of Adm. Chester w. Nimitz in Guam and Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur in Manila, this was the pie ture:

BUILD ROAD, ASSERTION !
 OF TRUMAN
Declares Project Is Abso- IuteIy Essential as Part
 of Postwar Plan

OLYM MPIA, Wash, June 21.- President Truman came out flatly today in favor of postwar comple- ton of a western connection with the Alaska Highway which would link the Pacific Northwest with the Territory.
 He has talked with both Gov. Gruening of Alaska and Senator Magnuson (D.-WashD, he told his press conference. and reached an agreement with them on the project.
 There is a 600-mile gap to be fin- ished, he said, and it is absolutely essential that it be considered as part of a postwar program in which Canada and. British Columbia will participate. He said he would try to find a way to complete it in CO., operation with Canada and British Columbia. It's a good project, he added, and he will support it.
 He said such a highway connec- ton would be of great benefit to the United States as a whole. He laughingly added that this included Missouri, where he comes from.
 The President praised the work of the San Francisco conference, promised the meat situation would be strengthened out and denied re- ports of contemplated removing h. terior Secretary Harold L. Ickes.
 He also expressed qualification over the Senate's approval of leg islation extending the reciprocal trade agreement program with further tariff lowering authority.
 He announced that he would stop over in Portland, Ore, Monday, en- route to San Francisco where he expects to arrive at p. m.
 The President expressed con- fidence the Senate will take favor able action on the Breton Woods agreements as we'll as the reciprocal trade legislation. The latter, he said, permitting direct quotation, places the United States squarely behind the principles of international trade cooperation"

Charter for Peace in
 World Completed al
 Meeting of 50 Nations
By John M. Hightower

Associated Press Diplomatic News Editorl
 SAN FRANCISCO. June 2l.--A charter embracing the views of 50 United Nations was wrapped up to- day in a world document designed to maintain peace.
 President Truman, now taking a brief holiday in Washington State, will bring the United Nations con- ference to a formal close with a speech on international affairs on Tuesday afternoon.
 Until that time the delegates of the 50 nations represented here will te busy with variety of technical problems and speech-making ses- sions. But the real work of the con- ference, which met April 25, is ac- complished
 It reached that stage last night. A committee approved an Australian Russian compromise empowering the proposed General Assembly of Na- tions to discuss and make recom- mendations on any question within the scope of the Charter written here.
 Thus ended long struggle by small nations to make the assembly a town meeting of the world" po- tentially capable of exerting the pressure of public opinion on the Big Power-controlled Security Coun- Gil, even though it could exercise no control over the council directly.
 Victor Andrade of Bolivia, chair man of the committee on Assembly Powers, attributed leadership in this struggle to Foreign Minister Herbert V. Evatt of Australia.
 The last commission session to go over chapter of the charter was called today to receive the report of Andrade's committee. From the stage of commission action the con- ference will move through plenary sessions in which the four com- missions will formally report various sections of the charter for approval.
 Secretary of State Stettinius an- nounced yesterday that the charter would be signed Monday. A spe- cial room, with huge round table, blue-covered against. a background Of United Nations flags, has been prepared for that ceremony.
 The President will arrive Monday in time for the signing and will remain through the closing session about "A hours later.

MANILA. June 2l.-Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, switched from his post as Chief of Army Ground forces to the Pacific. has been selected by Gen. Douglas MacArthur to com mand the U. s. 10th Army now mop ping up on Ckinawa. it was announ- ced today.
 The veteran Japanese fighters transfer to the Pacific Ocean area theatre and his appointment to the command vacated by the death in action on Okinawa of It. Gen. Si- mon Bolivar Buckner. Jr.. was an- nounced from MacArthur's head quarters.
 The assignment eliminated Q ser ies of conferences among Stilwell. MacArthur and other field comman- ders in the Pacific area recently. and it is assumed he will take over the Tenth Army as soon as he can get there.
 It was Stilwell who fought the Japanese when they invaded Burma. and with his slim command was chased out of the country.
 T claim we took a hell of beat ing, he said as he came out of the Burman wilds at the head of his forces. and he promptly set about organizing to fight back into the country
 This he did with the ultimate re- suit that the road which bears his name was cut through northern Bur- ma, re-establishing a ground supply route to China.

 The Nipponese were falling back on Aparri, a scant 100 miles ahead of 37th advance patrols, with mo- where to go once they reach that northernmost city on Luzon.
 On the west side of the Cagayan River, which splits the valley, the Igorots and other Filipino guerrillas waited in long prepared positions to frustrate any Nipponese attempt to find refuge among the wild, spiney ridges of the Cordillera Mountains.

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASHINGTON - President Tru- man got some unexpected but well come words from an old political enemy when COP Congressman Everett Dirksen of Illinois dropped in to see him following Dirksens recent inspection trip around the world.
 The big Illinois Congressman, himself a candidate for the Re- publican nomination, had received several thousand dollars of cam raign contributions from his home constituents which he proposed re- turning to them. But they pro- posed that he use it to study U. S. foreign relations abroad.
 Returning from that trip Dirksen concluded that the biggest problem we face is winning the peace after the war and hiring the right kind of diplomats with enough pay) to do it, Dropping in to see Presi- dent Truman, Dirksen said:
 You were a wagon soldier in the last war, MT President. So was I (Both were in horse-drawn field artillery.) We don't have much conception of how modern warfare operates. But we do know some thing of what our boys have gone through, and we've got to make sure that these who have taken it on the chin have not done it in vain"
 You speak my language" re- piled Truman, listening intently.
 Why don't you get a $100,00O,O0C appropriation for the State De- partment," Dirksen continued, "and build up system of American diplomacy strong enough to repre- sent this country? That's the first step in winning the peace after the war. We've got to hire good diplo- mats and give them the means of support.
 T am for economy" Dirksen went on. "In fact, have opposed a lot of spending on the part of the Roosevelt Administration. But I consider a strong State Depart ment to be one of the best invest ments this Nation can make"
 President Truman replied that there was great deal in what the Illinois Congressman said. Foreign affairs, he continued, was one thing he was working on hardest and he hinted, without exactly say ing so, that he was giving State Department reorganization a lot o1 consideration.
