Rome, Aug. 3 = (UP) = Well in- formed but unofficial Vatican sources said today that Vatican re- action to the Big Three's communi- que had been highly favorable.

 These sources said that the Vati- can was optimistic that such a Big Three attitude will facylitate good international relations and hasten reconstruction efforts in defeated countries.

Paris, Aug. 3-(UP)-Pierre La- val was charged today with exclaim- ing there goes the Republic" when he affixed his signature at Vichy to the New French constitution.
 In a dramatic interpolation of LavaPs own testimony in the trial of Marshal Henri Philippe Petain on a charge of treason the man who was called Frances "evil genius" was said to have proclaimed the end of Republican France when he signed the constitutional documents.
 Laval. fire flashing from his dark eyes, angrily turned on his accuser, Pierre De La Pomeraye, former sec- retary general of the French senate.
 T am not Fascist" he shouted in cracked voice. T am not 8 Nazi. I love the Republic" The court room rocked with sar- donic laughter.
 Laval Enraged Enraged, Laval turned to the spec tators and shouted:
 You can laugh!"
 Laval insisted he did not remem- Der making any such remark but Pomeraye insisted that he had sat at the table in the hall of the Ma jestic Hotel in Vichy where Laval signed the three acts of the con- Stitution.
 "As you signed them." Pomeraye said solemnly. you said: There goes the Republic!"
 The charge that Laval had signed the constitution in full knowledge that he was affixing his name to the death warrant of the third Repub- lie came in the midst of lengthy story by Laval of his pre-war dip- lomatic maneuverings which he in- sisted was motivated by desire for peace.
 When he said: q hate war. l loathe war. War does not pay, even , when you are victorious. the jurors at the Petain trial jeered openly at him.

 Guam, Aug. 3-.(UP) - The relentless air offensive against Japan thundered around the clock today and the 2Oth Air Force arl- nounced that B-29's have completely blockaded ship ping between the Japanese home islands and continer1- tai Asia.
 Every harbor of any conse- quence on the Japanese homeland has been sown with mines, the 20th Air Force reported, as have every Harbor from Korea to the Soviet Manchukuo border.
 TyphoonS Lash Sea
 Many hundreds of thousands of tons of Japanese shipping have been sunk by these mines and reports from Okinawa said that the 10,0O0,- 900 Japanese on Kyushu were threatened with additional disaster as typhoons lashed the China Sea, further isolating Japan from vital mainland supplies.
 Progressive disintegration of the Japanese homeland was intensified by attacks on rail transportation which began to sever the vital ar- teries on which Japanese cities de- pend for food and Japanese war industries depend for shipment of supplies.
 The B-29 minelaying program was described as "the greatest in history" and spokesman said that there are now no major shipping ports or harbors remaining that cffer safety to Japanese shipping" !" Radio Tokyo reported that 100 American fighter -bombers carried forward the relentless assault. shoot- ing up military targets in the great- CT Tokyo area only few hours af- ter Manila and Guam communique tallied up the results of three more attacks on the Japanese islands.
 Tokyo asid 105 Mustangs, presum| ably from Two, had attacked Utsu- nomiya, Omiya, Maebashi and Ta- kasaki in two waves about 10 8. m. Al! four cities lie on the outer rsZn of the greater Tokyo area.
 Three of the raiders were shot down and two others heavily dam aged, Tokyo claimed.
 Radio Osaka confessed that Amre- ican strafing raids had interrupted Japanese train schedules and ere ated considerable confusion. An emergency meeting of railway per- sonnel has been held to study means of coping with the situation Tokyo said.

 The decision to treat Germany as a unit, economically, was expected to mean for example that food and clothing needed for coal miners in the Ruhr, which is in the British zone, would be supplied from the American, French and Russian zones. It would probably also mean additional labor from other zones.
 These sources believed that the Allies may be able to boost Ruhr production from it's present eight per cent of capacity to 50 per cent by Oct. l.

Big 3 Silent On Reds Aid Against JaPs
BY R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent


 Washington, Aug. 3-(UP)-Big Three plans for restoring peace to war-devastated Europe and reduc- ing Germany to nation, of farms and peaceful, domestic industries were approved generally today by prominent U. s. senators.
 Only one critical note was imme- diately forthcoming from the body which eventually must ratify the peace treaties. Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., Ohio, thought the proposal to give Poland large chunk of east ern Germany contained "the seeds of another war"
 President Truman, aboard the cruiser Augusta en route home, is preparing a personal report on the conference. He will deliver it to the nation by radio and may be pre- pared to give more details of the decisions reached-and of the many unmentioned issues.
 The major unanswered question is: What role does Russia plan to play in the closing days of the war against Japan?
 But there was little doubt that "the military matters of common interest" discussed by the chiefs of Saff of the United States, Britain and Russia involved Japan. It also was noted that Generalissimc Stalin had signed a communique which praised Italy for at least joining the Allies in the struggle against Japan-notice that the Russians no longer are concerned about offending the Japanese. Majority See Russians In
 Most officials here expect Russia to be in on the final stages of tht Japanese war. But one senator Warren Magnuson, D., Wash.-pre. dicted that unless Russian help wa! absolutely necessary she would no become a belligerent.
 The senate had recessed for twt months 24 hours before the result of the big three meeting were an nounced. But members still her fgenerally '.ere enthusiastic abou the plans for removing forever tn threat of German aggression. Thos who noted the absence of final de cisions except on the future of Ger many approved.

 London, Aug. 3-(UP)-The Pots dam declaration spurred speculation today that Russia may enter the Pacific war and the western Allies may break diplomatic relations with Spain.
 While Japan was not mentioned in the Big Three communique, the fact that Russia joined in confer ences on military matters of com- mon interest" although the Euro pean war was over suggested that the Pacific conflict had been dis cuSSed.
 Charles Arnot, United Press cor respondent at Potsdam, radioed that significance also was seen in the fact that Premier Stalin saw fit to sign a declaration obliquely com- plimenting Italy for joining the war against Japan.
 This might indicate that the mill itary matters under discussion by the Big Three included future Rus sian assistance, if not participation, in the Far Eastern war, Arnot said.
 (CBS Correspondent Edward Murruw broadcast from London that 1t had become clear during the Pots dam conference that "it is the pur- pose of Generalissimo Stalin to en- ter the war" against Japan)
 William RidSdale, head of the British foreign office press section, declined at press conference to answer questions regarding the na- ture of the military matters men, tioned in the communique. Mountbatten in P0tsdam

Senators Hit Stimson Plan
BY CHARLES B. DEGGES United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington. Aug. g. (UP) A Democratic and Republican sena- tor today challenged Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson's insistence that the army needs 100000 men until Japan is defeated.
 Sen. Edwin c. Johnson, D., Colo. influential member of the senate military affairs committee, insisted ''the army has no need for anything like 100000 men" for occupation forces, manning of outposts and beating Japan.
 '"The very fact that so large 8 group is to be 4ield in the service chokes reconversion at the source by setting high quotas of material to house. clothe. transport, feed and otherwise maintain them which are taken out of quotas of material needed to get civilian production go- ing and to make johs." he said.
 Sen. Robert A. Taft. of Ohio, g leading Republican. said he thought 5,500, ,O00 men was adequate" for all purposes of the rest of the war.
 These statements followed Stim- sons assertion yesterday that to re- duce the size of the army below the established figure of 1000, ,000-ac- tually 6.965. .000-would prolorg the Japanese war and be more costly in lives.
 Johnson told the SeL1-te Tuesday that the army couldn't transport. supply and use" more than 5000. .00o men against Japan. He made 1t plain today that he was not setting 3 3,OO0, 900 as maximum figure since other forces were needed for occu- paiiS2 of Germany, manning of american outposts, training. re-
