Conference To Ignore
Argentine At Present

; Padilla refused to go into de.
tails on the record that would be
brought out on Argentina if some
delegations wished to drive for a
resolution favorable to the Arge n.
tine government.
However, it is known that sew
eral governments represented hel<
have prepared extensive dossiers
on the activities of Nazi agents il
Argentina and the position of ;he
Argentine government during the
war.
Taking up the Argentine question
at the start would have meant Civ
ing it precedence over security,
economic and political issues on
the agenda.
Today's session was a prelimi-
nary gathering of the heads OF
delegations to fix the agenda, elect
a president and establish rules
for the meeting.
Mexican Foreign Minister Padil-

CHURCHILL FACES
DEBATE ON POLES
Many House Members
Critical OF Big Three
Decision

LONDON, Feb. N.-UD-Sharr
dissatisfaction with the "Big
Three" decision on Poland was
voiced in the House of Commons
today in a series Of questions d.
rected by both Conservative and
Laborite members to Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill and For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden.
Inasmuch as the Crimean con-
florence will be debated at length
next Tuesday and Wednesday,
Eden gave his questioners very
brief answers today and Churchill
contented himself with defining the
Atlantic Charter as "a guide, not
a rule when critics pressed him.
The preliminary skirmish to next
weeks debate indicated that a
considerable number of memb srs
may be dissatisfied with some
phase of the Yalta decisions and
that they will not be backward in
voicing their criticism. One men,

had surrendered to power poll

The committee action was sur
prising, and not Immediately clear,
either.
It was brought about by an I'M
usual coalition of friends and OPP
ponents of limited National Serv-
lice, those who want to force men
18 to Is into war work and those
favoring voluntary controls.
Members of the committee were
unable to agree even 7hether the
penalties would apply to both en-
ployers and employees. The bill was
in so jumbled q state that Its ap-
proval in its present form was
doubtful, to say the lea-t.
Written in was an amendment
making violators of the act sub
ject to a years Imprisonment or
a $4,000 fine. 1t was offered by
Senator Austin (R-Vb, an advo-
cate of full National Service legls-

reporters he interpreted it as APP

ed it would affect only employers.
Austin declined to interpret his own
amendment.
Thomas said the amendment car

without a record vote. Others re-
norted the vote was to 5.
Chandler said frankly that he
voted for the Austin Amendment
so he could justify voting against
the entire bill. He also cast a
proxy vote for Senator Murray Cd

The final vote on the amended
substitute bill was put off until to-
morrow. There were strong lndl'

made at that time to reconsider

MANILA, Thursday, Feb. 22-(R
Not a living japanese soldier is
left on Bataan and the enemy gar
rison on Corregidor fortress has
been "practic ally destroyed" Gen.
Douglas Macarthur announced
day.
He said the enemy garrison in
south Manila was compressed into
an area measuring about 700 yards
by 500 within the ancient Intra-
muros, and the destruction of this
force has been slow only because
of the American desire to save the
lives of civilians inside the walled
city.
The Japanese on Bataan were es-
timated several thousand strong
when the Americans invaded the
southern shore just a week ago to
form death wise in conjunction
with strong Yank force moving
down from the north.
On corregidor, invaded last Fri
day, Macarthur said more than L.
700 Japanese dead already had
been buried and the count was
only partially complete. The main
tunnel has been blocked at both
lends by explosives.
Macarthur described the Japa-
nese within south Manila medic
val Intramuros as resisting with
Savage barbarism seldom
displayed in a more Tepulsive
FORM
HowitZers and cannon are at
tempting to breach the outer wall
OF this medieval citadel to make
an entrance way for tanks and in
fantrymen seeking to clean up this
final enemy stronghold in the Phil
ippine capital and liberate an esti-
mated 1000 civilians held as vir-
tual hostages.
Macarthur said final destruction
of the Japanese garrison has been
slow due to the desire to limit
civilian casualties as far as pos
sible." He went on:
''It is in no sense a measure of
the special skill or tenacity of the
enemy, whose savage barbarism
has seldom been displayed in a
more repulsive FORM"
Japanese marines and naval de-
tense forces make up the bulk Of
the Intramuros garrison.
Macarthur announced the enemy
on Corregidor fortress ''has been
practically destroyed, with more
than LOO dead already having
been buried with the count only
partially completed"
He said only isolated Japanese
holed up in caves remain to be
mopped up there.
On Bataan, the genera declared,
not a living Japanese soldier can
be found.
He said the Americans had &C.
cupied the city of Bagac and had
finished "combing'' the area.
Heavy bonbers dropped SO tons
of explosives on airdrome and bar
rack installations on southwestern
Formosa and sank small freight
er off the east coast. Another
freighter was damaged.
A 1,00O-ton freighter was sunk
near Hong Kong as reco.mais-
sance planes swept the China coast.
A 144-ton bombing of northern
Borneo was concentrated in the
Miri and Jesselton aird1omes on
the northern end. Runways were
severely cratered and many fires
were observed. Fabuan airdrome
at Bruei Bay, Borneo, also was
bombed.

Several u. S. Cities
Want Olympic Games

LONDON, Aug. 21.-tP)-Several
American cities are expected to
make strong bids for the 1913 Olym-
pic games, Avery Brundage, presi-
dent Of the International Commit
tee, arrived yesterday aboard the
Queen Elizabeth and Immediately
was besieged by English sports
men, who attempted to buttonhole
him to back London for the next
games. Had it not been for the
war, the 1914 Olympics would have
been held here and representatives
of the British Olympics Committee
feel it is only just that this coun-
try should have the 1913 meet.
Brundage said Minneapolis IS
making perhaps the strongest
bid Of any American City for
1948 but that several others, in
GLIDING Detroit, New York, Chi
cago and Los Angeles, have been
discussing the possibilities Of ex-
tending official invitations.
