Jap Occupation
 Proposal Opposed

London, Sept. 26-UP)- Britain and China were re- ported today to have joined the United States in oppos- ing consideration at the cur rent Big Five Conference of a Soviet proposal for establish ment of an Allied control commission for Japan.
 Memorandum
 A Soviet source confirmed that the Soviet foreign commissar had presented a memorandum to the Foreign Ministers conference urg- ing establishment of the Pacific council on grounds that the time had arrived for a joint effort to secure the peace"
 Molotov appeared inclined to criti- cize American handling of the occu- patton of Japan and desiriouS of gaining a voice in the matter. He suggested that Britain and China also join the proposed control coun- ell.
 U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes refused to discuss the Soviet memorandum on grounds that Pa- cifc affairs were not on the agenda for the present Big Five meeting.
 He said the procedure for the oc- cupation of Japan already had been (Cnntfnred on Page Al

OPA;s Clothing Plan Altered By Shortages

ferent kinds of mems, women's and children's outerwear, and underwear and nightwear made of cotton, ray- on and wool.
 This won't change individual price ceilings for clothes. What 1t means, in brief Is that manufacturers will be permitted to make greater propor- ton of higher-priced apparel and a little less lower-priced stuff than had been contemplated originally.
 Improvement
 The OPA believes, however, that after the first of the year the textile supply will improve and manufac- turers will have had time to clear up previous commitments to make high-priced garments. It then hopes to return to it's original objections.
 Acting under the mandate of the Bankhead amendment to the stab- ilization extension act of i944, the OPA has announced manufacturers price increases for another group of cotton textile items. These increases, ranging from 3.2 to i4.82 per cent, cover towels, flannels, print cloth fabrics, osnahurgs and seamless woven bags. The result will he that civilians eventually will have to pay higher prices for towels and for fianueIs; shirts. outerWear and night wear ahd diepeks.

Robbery Case Bound Over

Pleading not guilty to a charge of robbery with violence, Rocco Flammia, 20, POS Orange street, rep- resented by Atty. Francis Feeley of Atty. Edward Mascola's office, waived examination, and was bound over to the next session of Superior Court on bonds of $2,500, when ar- raigned in City Court this morn- ing before Judge Charles Summa.
 The accused, placed in the clis- tody of Atty. Mascola, is charged with the alleged theft of $200 from Joseph Newson, 4l, 3l Yale street, Waterville, and the alleged act of fracturing the mans ankle while removing the money from him with violence.
 Flammia was arrested by Patrol man Lucian Larivee on Sept. 10 almost 8 year after the alleged robbery occurred. Another man, Michael Santopietro, who partici- pated in the robbery with Flammia, was arrested at the time of the affair, Dec. 4, 1944, and received suspended reformatory sentence when arraigned in Superior Court in the early part of the year.
 Flammia, who had been the ob- ject of a police search for several months, was apprehended when he returned to Waterbury in Septem- Der after having fled to Texas.

Washington, Sept. 26 - (UP) - The oPA's plant to put lot more low-priced clothing on store shelves has been forced to make slight re- treat. The reason: A shortage of the kind of textiles that go into low priced items.
 Under the OPA's plan--Which 1t called the maximum average price (map) order-imost garment inanu- lecturers were supposed to produce the same proportion of low-priced goods that they turned out in 194S.
 Snags
 But 1t ran into some snags. A lot of firms found 1t impossible to ob- tain goods to put into their lower price lines of l943. A study showed that in many cases the spread be- tween 1943 and 1945 prices was 80 great that manufacturers would have had tough time making rec adjustments.
 So the oPA had to do this, effec- tive yesterday:
 Most manufacturers were permit ted percentage increases, ranging from five to 20 per cent, over their maximum average prices. These in- creases were set Individually for most of the 434 categorles of apparel included ln the maximum average pkics order. They cover many daf-

Truman Says Allies Agreed On Jap Issue
 Unaware That
 Dissatisfaction
 Existed

Washington, Sept. 26-( UP) - President Truman said today he never had received official notice that any of the interested Allied powers were dissatisfied with the occupational control of Japan un- der a single supreme commander, Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
 He made Sthe statement in re- sponse to press conference ques- tions based on the new Russian po- sition voiced at the London meet ing of the Big Five foreign minis ters in favor of an Allied control mission for Japan.
 Original Agreement
 MT. Truman pointed out that all of the interested nations had agreed originally to the central con- trol under MacArthur and since had voiced no dissatisfaction.
 He said emphatically that the ap- pointment of MacArthur was con- cured in by all the interested pow CTS and that he now was function ing as the representative of all of them.
 Under repeated questioning MT. Truman said that there was ample opportunity for any of the inter- ested nations to discuss with Mac- Arthur any question of occupation policy, either through the joint chiefs of staff or through the Am erican government-and here he pointed out that the Russians had

Brouvder Denies Reds Were Un-An1erican

Washington, Sept. 2e (UP) - Earl Browder, deposed leader of the American Communist party, denied today that the Communists want to destroy the American system and defended the 1889 German-Russiar1 non-aggression pact as a move which saved Russia and the United States from Nazi conquest.
 He gave these views as the house committee on un-American actiyi- ties began its exploration of the class war philosophy of American Communists.
 There were signs of conflict ahead as the inquiry got under way.
 Browder, who identified himself as now ''unemployed," put the conn mittee on notice that he would not answer questions about his politi- cal opininos.
 Communists and some others have denounced the Investigation as Q witch hunt. The party's press has been campaigning for abolition of the House committee.

 Grandmother Welch, trying to ease the strain, explained various railroad station devices to the boy.
 Gen. A. A. Vandegrift, Marine corps commandant, played his part in the game, too, he walked up to Paddy, whipped of his hat, shook hands gravely and asked the boy to explain the significance of his Chinese hat.
 Paddy explained that 1t was given to him by "a Chinese general"
 But all the while Paddy kept an eye cooked, waiting for "the" train to come in.
 When the moment came, Paddy was too lost for words. So was his father.
 AS they embraced, Paddy quietly slipped under the arm of his father a package of linen handkerchiefs, homecoming gift.
 Others
 Returning with Devereux were two fellow Marine officers who were pris- orers with him in Japan-Capts, Clarence A. Barninger, Jr., and Will liam W. Lewis of Washington.
 Devereux was wearing the silver leaves of lieutenant-colon rank to which he was promoted some time after his capture.
 Devereux's first visit was to Ma rlne headquarters to report to his superiors. He will be decorated with the Navy Gross.
 Saturday fellow citizens of Chevy Chase and Bethesda, Md, will stage 6 parade and welcome home cele- hration in honor of the wiry little Marine whose stand at Wake Island was ail epic of American courage.
