 Leaders Under Arrest
By Vaughan Bryant Press Correspondent

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 27-Jails swallowed up leaders of every shade of opposition to Argentina's mili- tary government today while Ar gentines from the Atlantic to the Andes waited to see what further steps would be taken to carry out state of seige imposed yesterday.
 Squads of Federal police with long lists of wanted persons sys- tematically covered this capital of 2,500,000 as the dragnet frightened here and elsewhere over the coun- try
 The decree which deprives Ar gentines of their civil rights came unexpectedly as the climax to a period of mounting opposition to the military regime of President Gen.

RE0pENING OF Al MINE SAID
 NOT IMMINENT
Company President, Con- suItant Say Conditions
 Stay Decision Now

At least six months likely will have to pass yet before even start can be made toward formulating plans for the future of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine
 That view is concurred in by both C. A. Norris, President of the AL aska Juneau Gold Mining Co., and P. R. Bradley Jr., Consulting En- gineer and son of the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
 MT Bradley stated today that "No gold miner is justified in even surveying the situation now" There has been no change in the gold mining picture during the past two months, he stressed though changes undoubtedly are impending.
 Referring to the Alaska Juneau problem, MT. Norris declared, "It is not a matter of reconversion in our case" It's just that there is a need for a general leveling out in the relationship of costs and prices, If higher costs are going to prevail all along the line, higher prices will have to come too," he averred. Both officials stressed the need for a higher gold price and were hopeful of one.
 Pessimistic
 We hate to be pessimistic," MT. Bradley avowed, but there does not seem to be anything at all to be done right now, he stated. Until the company has better idea of how conditions will be, "the cheapest thing to do is just leave it alone"
 No plans for increased mainten- ance activity or for gradual re- fitting of the local mine are now held "The mine must either oper- ate full scale or not at all,' MT Norris declared
 Both men have held extensive conferences here with J. A. Will Hams, General Manager, and were underground in the mine this morning There has been a gen. cral deterioration of the properties, MT. Bradley stated, and costs of re- opening the mine would run nearly to a million dollars, but the first wheels could begin to turn within a very few days after decision to re-open-though not on full scale"

 Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Tru- man has sent a telegram to Bri- tish Prime Minister Atlee urging that around 150,000 Jewish refugees now in Europe be allowed to enter Palestine immediately. Truman has also instructed General Eisenhower to have the U. s. Army supply transportation for them to PaleS- tine.
 All this developed as a result of a meeting between Truman, Sen ator Brewster of Maine, Republi- can; Senator Magnuson of Wash ington, Democrat; and ex-Senator Gillette of Iowa, now head of the League for Free Palestine" These three had planned to go to London to take the matter up with the Brl- tish Government when Truman, hearing about their visit, called them to the White House. He urged that they not go to London at this time.
 Tt would just create more prob lems for Jimmie Byrnes," Truman explained, when he's already got enough on his hands"
 Senator Brewster then engaged in a good-natured but vigorous ar gument with his old friend, the President, with whom he had long served on the Truman Committee. The President explained that he was not in favor of an outright Jewish state in Palestine. Senator Brewster, who has long waged a battle for the right of the Jews in Palestine, took vigorous opposition to this.
 You are just following the same line that Roosevelt fell for" he ad- monished his old friend Truman. Tt was the British who arranged

TOKYO, Sept. 27.--Emperor Hir- ohito called on General Macarthur today, removed his top hat and bowed to the supreme Allied Con- mander.
 (The British Broadcasting Cor poration in broadcast recorded in New York by NEG quoted its Tokyo correspondent Douglas Willis as saying today that it is strongly be- lieved that Emperor Hirohito ex- pressed his will to abdicate," and that "the redrafting of the Japan csc constitution tto permit abdica- tion) already is taking place. There is no confirmation
 The Japanese Central Liaison Of- flee, to which all inquiries were re- ferred, told the Associated Press to- day that Allied Headquarters and the Japanese Government reach ed an agreement not to disclose" the topics discussed. The Japanese spokesman said that he personally knew what the conversation includ- ed, but that he could not reveal 1t without MacArthur's permission.
 While the General and the Em- peror sat by glowing fire and talked. Domei Agency reported that four elements of the Sixth Army's B Division had arrived in the Kobe area on western Honshu to swell occupation troops there to 4,50O.
 Mutual Problems
 Because of the length of the talk, 1t was assumed they discussed gem orally mutual problems connected with American occupation of what remains of Hirohito's once great empire.
 Hirohito and his Japanese inter- preter were closeted in the state reception room in the residence of the Embassy which MacArthur and his family have taken over.
 The Emperor's somewhat old. dark automobile drove up to the main entrance carrying the Imper- ial Emblem on the front. The back

 Urged by an interpreter to say anything you want to; do not be afraid he decided that:

VAMPIRE BAT
IVnmnirns snectru1n J

Uo CFOSb 0bk/.
In the valley of the Amazon, in
the vicinity of Ega, this vampire
has his domain. He is the largest
of the South American species, with
a wing expanse of % inches. All
vampire bats are not bloOd-suckers,
as so many wrongly believe. There
are many harmless vampires. Those
to be feared belong in the genera
Desmodus and Diphylla.
The distinction of having the
most hideous countenance of any
member of the animal kingdom Is
a questionable honor. The vampire
bat is no beauty. Two great leathery
ears jut from the top of his head
and the sides of his face. Small,
glittering black eyes gaze fearlessly
into those Of the beholder. A wide
grin displays the rows of white
sharp teeth, and the upright spear
shaped appendage on the tip of his
nose adds to his fearsome express
sion. However, this bat is friendly
and well liked by those who know
him
During the daylight hours, he
hangs upside-down, fast asleep.
When twilight approaches, troops
of these strange-winged mammals
head for the forest to seek fruit
and insects. AS dawn approaches,
the hunters return to some safe
retreat.
Bats are to be found over prac-
