Hoover Would Take
Only Advisory Post
BY the Associated Press,

~ NAat ooooNAnSG6 kCoes
SALT LAKE CITY, July a.
Nothing more than an advisory
position would be accepted by for
mer President Hoover if he should
be asked to aid in distributing food
to Europe, he said last night.
Earlier yesterday he declared at
Cheyenne, Wyo., that congressional
enactment of compromise legislation
extending wartime price controls
had left the crisis in meats and
fats about where it was"
During an overnight stop here,
Mr.. Hoover told reporter who
wanted to know whether he would
consent to aid in feeding Europe
that "at my age a man doesn't want
that much responsibility"
At Cheyenne he suggested that
Clinton p. Anderson, the new Sec
retary of Agriculture, secure an
other William Jeffers to take COM
plete control of meats and fats and
straighten it out as Mr.. Jeffers did
the rubber muddle."
Mr.. Hoover asserted that It was
necessary to free the brakes on
production to reduce the enormous
black market imitation in prices
which are now as much as 200 per
cent above the presumed OPA
prices"
He praised President Truman's
consolidation of Food Administra-
ton under the Agriculture Depart
ment as "the really constructive
step so far"
The former President is travelling
with his two sons, Herbert, jr., and
Alan. They expected to go to Phoebe,

Jap Has No Chance
Against Americans,
Gen. StiIweH Declares
By the Associated Press,


OKINAWA, July 2.-The Ameri-
can conquest Of okinawa was "a
decisive victory in which "our
troops slugged their way through
and proved again what we already
know--that the Jap has no chance
against Americans" Gen. Joseph
w. Stilwell declared today.
Gen. Stilwell spoke on the Army
Hour radio program to the United
States. He has assumed active
command of the victorious 10th
Army, succeeding the late Lit. Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buckner, jr.
Calling the Okinawa campaign.
in which Gen. Buckner was killed
June 18, "the most severe fighting
to date in the Pacific" Gen. Still
we'll warned that organized resist
ance on Okinawa crumbled as an
nounced on June 81, but thatedoes
not mean the complete cessation
of hostilities by any means.
"The Japs do not quit in a body:
they have to be chopped up until
there are none left.
Since June 81 their continued re-
sistance in small groups has cost
them 5000 men, and we, of course,
have not got of Scot free.
"As elsewhere, mopping-up opera
tions must continue for long time,
before we can be sure this island is
clear"
Lauding Gen. Buckner and the
other Americans who died here, Gen.
Stilwell said, "Our pride in their
accomplishment must be tempered
by the price they paid. Too many
of them will not come home"

|SchweIIenbach Asked
To Avert G. u. Hospital
Construction Strike
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
was asked today to take emergency
action to prevent a threatened
strike which, may tie up construc-
tion of the new Georgetown Hospital
and could affect other building con-
struction in the District area.
The appeal was directed to the
Secretary from Foster j. Pratt, pres
ident of the AFL international Fed
Grafton OF Technical Engineers,
Architects and Draftsmen's Unions,
who charged that the workers in
volyed had received "a runaround"
from every Government agency to
which they had applied for aid in
settlement of their dispute.
Members of Local 28 of the union
decided to strike July 9, after, Mr..
Pratt said, the Cancellation Service,
the National Labor Relations Board
and the National War Labor Board
each refused to act in the case.
100 Engineers Involved.
About 100 technical engineers are
involved In the general dispute with
contractors in the Washington area.
Six are in the employ of the Har-
wood-N -Nebel Construction Co., which
is building the new hospital
An effort at negotiation of one
phase of the dispute ended unsuc-
cessfully yesterday. Howard Gohr-
band, president of the TEAD local,
and william A. Mckinley, Negotia-
tions Committee chairman, met
with James A. McWhorter, survey
ing contractor of Annandale, Va,
who is doing work on the Lincoln
Heights homes development here.
Mr.. McWhorter said the union
was too demanding" while union
officials said they were optimistic. ;"
A meeting Of union members is
scheduled tomorrow night to dis
cuss presentation of demands to
contractors.
Don't Want Strike.
"Our men don't want TO strike"
Mr.. Pratt's message said. They
want to negotiate an agreement with
their employers and stick by it. But
the contractors won't even sit down
around the table with them to talk
contract.
From what I have been able to
the reluctance of these
FederaD agencies to consider and
act upon our cases stems from the
that only small num-
ber of employees are involved on each
project. However. this attitude ig-
nores the fact that our members,
though few in number, are key men
on the construction jobs which
cannot proceed without their serv-
ices.
This case typifies the evils re-
sulting from the present scattering
of independent Federal agencies
dealing with labor problems and the
lack of a clear and coherent Gov
ernment policy"

OMAHA, July 2.-President w
G. Chandler of the American News

day described the newspaper as "the
most powerful single institution
in American life" and declared sits
allegiance is not to the Govern
ment, but to the people whom the
Government is designed to serve"
Speaking on the Your America"
radio program on Mutual network
Mr.. Chandler praised American
newspapers for their handling of
news in wartime, and said they have
maintained the causes of a free
press and a Nation at war through
"a delicate balance of journalism,
wisdom and good faith"
He also cited the voluntary GEN.
sorship code which newspapers
helped write, asserting "our news
papers have given their readers
essential war information without
revealing anything of Importance
to the enemy. And in the national
election, the press reported the
campaigns in such a way that the
enemy could nourish no real hope
of division among us on the eS-
sential issues of the war"

Philippines Fighting
Cost Japs 4t9,O35
Men, Macarthur Says
BY the Associated Press.

MANILA, July with scattered
Japanese units cracking before the
steady advance of Americans and
Filipino guerrillas, enemy losses in
the Philippines have risen to 419,-
035, Gen. MacArthur's headquarters
said today.
The total includes 9,774 prisoners,
some Of whom are predicting an
early peace.
The enemy retained several
strongholds on Luzon in the noun
tains northeast of the summer capi-
tai, Baguio, including Bontoc, Man
kayan and Kiangan. Resistance at
Kiangan was reported weakening,
however.
Sporadic Fighting Continues.
Most American forces were rest
ing after their long campaign. In
the Cagayan valley, fighting was
principally between guerrillas and
isolated bands of disorganized jap
anese.
A War Department intelligence Of
ficer, Col. Albert L. Warner, said
American forces have lost 11,715
killed and 1,131 missing in the Phil
ippines campaign-a ration of 81
Japanese dead for every American
dead or missing. His estimate of
Japanese dead in the Philippines
was 100000.
Some Japanese prisoners, captur-
ed or Surrendering voluntarily, ex-
pect the war to end next month"
with Japan's surrender, Associated
Press correspondent Hamilton Faron
reported from 37th Division head
quarters.
Prisoners ForeSee Peace.
Prisoners talked freely through in
terpreters, he said, and most of
them discussed the possibility Of a
new japanese cabinet being formed
soon to seek peace. They agreed
Prince Kanoye might head such a
cabinet, and termed him friend of
Japans common people.
American officers, Mr.. Faron cau-
toned, say the views of Japanese
who have been isolated for six
months and exposed to Americas
overwhelming power in the Philip
pines, cannot be expected to repre-
sent the views of Japanese in the
homeland.

serted yesterday in a statement
announcing he had signed the
bill extending the Office of Price
Administration another year.
Every one of us must refrain
from making unnecessary purchase
of scarce goods and every one of
us must put as many of his dollars
as possible into War Bonds" Mr..
Truman said. an this way we can
speed the day of victory and make
sure that peace will bring a sound
and lasting prosperity"
Sped to final House passage Sat-

Mr.. Truman, in his statement
yesterday, declared the renewal of
the legislation without weakening
amendments gives the country re-
assurance that the fight against in
f1ation will be carried on during the
difficult year that lies ahead" and
added:
I'VE shall have need for stabiliza-
ton not only in fighting the war
but in solving the problems of re-
conversion which we are already
confronting"
The text of the Presidents state
ment follows:
81 am very happy to sign the
stabilization extension bill. For the
past three and one-half years we
have succeeded in stabiliZing the
cost of living despite the greatest
war of all times. This has been of
immeasurable benefit not only to
all of us here at home, but to the
war effort itself.
The renewal of the statutes with
out weakening amendments gives
the country reinsurance that the
fight against imitation will be car
ried on during the difficult year that
lies ahead. We shall have need
for stabilization. not only in finish
ing the war, but in solving the
problems of reconversion which we
are already confronting.
War is Responsible.
"I congratulate the Congress on
having enacted sound, and well
considered statute. Under it per-
picking problems of food supply can
be met and the sterilization and re-
conversion programs can be success
fully carried forward. I am glad
that Congress did not disturb the
existing arrangements for co-ordi-
mating these programs and for set
Ting differences among the agencies,
I congratulate the stabilization
agencies, They have had the un-
pleasant, thankless task of enforcing
controls during critical emergency
They have served us Loyalty and
well.
'We must always remember that
it is the war-not these agencies
which is responsible for shortages
and hardships. I am confident that
the public will support the stabiliza-
tion program with renewed pur-
chases of scarce goods and every
one of us must put as many of his
dollars as possible into war bonds
In this way we can speed the day
of victory and make sure that peace
will bring sound and lasting pros
perity,"
