gressional leaders expressed hope
today they could arm President
Truman with three big legislative
clubs to help him bargain with
Winston Churchill and Josef Stall

relations and one of them already
has been handed to Mr.. Truman.
It extended the reciprocal trade

the President to negotiate trade

The other two are in the leg

Already passed by the House anc

week after next, the Breton Woods
legislation implements the interna'

out last summer in the hills Of New
Hampshire. The agreements mean
nothing unless both branches Of
Congress approve them by legisla'
ton and set the example OF 9TH

said.
The definite purpose of the land
ings was not stated, but Chung

have been actuated by an enemy
desire to test Chinese strength in
the coastal region south Of Japa-
nese-held Annoy and to learn whe-
Their any preparations for an Anglo
American invasion were in pro-

It also was believed that the

WANT AGREEMENTS

MOSCOW, July 7.-REThe Rus
slams as they approach the "Vic-
tory" conference of the Big Three
are determined to reach agree
ments with their allies that will
snuff out German imperialism for
ever and ensure that Hitler never
again will rise to power.
The Soviets do not want just a
stopgap measure this time. In this
connection they believe that their
allies are making a serious mis-
take in handling the German
people.
First of all, the Russians be-
lieve it is imperative that better
Germany must swell from the Ger
man people and not develop from
repressive measures imposed upon
them.
They feel that the allies are
guilty of bad judgement when they
outlaw all political parties and DO
not allow mass gatherings OF Ger
mans for political discussions. The
Red army occupying forces have
localized all antl-Fascist parties in
their zones. They have recognized
trade unions and they allow meet
ings.
It goes without saying that the
Soviets are keeping an eye on every
organization which calls itself an
ti-Fascist and on every meeting
dedicated to German democracy
The first sign that any of these
gatherings might be used as ar
undercover for Nazism or for the
revival of German militarism te
even the slightest extent will see
quick counter measures.
The Russians also are concerned
with the international cartel situa
ton and unqucstionably will bring
this up. They will wish proof anc
definite reassurances that German
industrialists have not gone TN
derground and found other place:
of work, possibly in other coun
tries.

STRIKES MENACE
RAIDS ON JAPAN

WASHINGTON, July T. @ -
General H. H. Arnold said today
that unless full production is re-
sumed Immediately in strike al
fected rubber plants fighters and
bombers may have to be with
drawn from the attack on Japan.
The chief of army air forces said
in statement that a "critical"
situation has been created in h e
AAF as a result of work stoppages
=. Some aircraft in this country
are grounded for lack OF tires" Ar
mold said, adding that air force in
ventories are now at minimum
level" Shipment of tires to h e
fighting fronts, he said, is "seri-
ously in danger
Arnold said that the planes
most seriously threatened by the
work stoppages are the B-29 su-
perfortresses, VIII c h have been
spear-heading the aerial war on ia
pan, and the PATS Thunderbolt,
long range fighter plane.
At present, Arnold said, about
$500 Bog tires are on hand and
about 1900 have been committed
for shipment. This leaves, he said,
only a 12-day supply for emergen-
cies and normal consumption. On
Nv 1913 tires are on hand for the
PATS, Arnold said adding that
obviously is an inventory OF zero
level" :,
He reported that the plants eff
fected by the strike produce IS per
cent of all tires used by the air
force, in addition to critical items
such as wheels, brakes, fuel cells,
life rats and landing gear equip
ment.
