Occupation of Japan csc Home Islands Causes
 Rife Orient Affairs

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-Am- erican Broadcasting Company cor respondent Larry Tighe reported today from Tokyo that General Macarthur and the Russians had disagreed over which of the Japa- nese home islands the Soviet forces would occupy, and that as result the Russians will not participate in the occupation at all.
 Furthermore, Tighe said, Mac Arthur reportedly told the U. B. State Department yesterday that Ii he were not let alone and If Rus sia was allowed any further par ticipation in occupation affairs, he would resign.
 First the Russians wanted to bring an army over here" the cor respondent stated. Macarthur said no. He would permit them to bring enc division. But they insisted that they be allowed to occupy Hok- kaido, northernmost of the main islands. Macarthur again said no, with the implications that If the Russians ever got into Hokkaido they'd never be dislodged.
 Macarthur offered instead to let the Russians in southernmost Kyu- shu, which would put American troops between the (Russiam home land and the occupying force. Then the Russians said no. Macarthur S answer to that amounted to All right, don't send an occupation force; we don't need it anyway.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - This columnist has now obtained transcript of the first secret debates inside the United Nations Preparatory Com mission regarding the future capl- tai of the United Nations.
 The document shows how mil lions of people throughout the world are looking to the U. 5. A. for leadership in keeping the peace.
 The sessions opened at the Church House, Deans Yard, Vest minister, next to the historic Vest minister Abbey. Inscrutable Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gromyko was in the chair. Dr. Victor Chi-tsal Hoo. the Chinese delegate, opened the discussion with a blunt attack on putting UNO headquarters in Geneva.
 We believe that the memory ot the seat where all attempts to maintain peace have failed would influence the whole atmosphere of the organization" Dr. Hoo said.
 "The spirit of Geneva he maintained, became almost similar to the spirit of Munich"
 French Delegate Rene Masslgll vigorously opposed the Chinese, arguing that placing the seat In Europe would inspire the European nations to keep the peace. Mas sigli also suggested Denmark or Austria as alternatives to Geneva.
 At this point, Australia's Ex- ternal Minister Herbert Evatt sprang to his feet
 Frisco For Site
 what we are required to do, he said, lis ask what place is most suitable for the seat of the United |, Nations. Australia favors San Francisco. I think it is obvious that the peoples of the world ex- pect a fresh start to be made Tn the world organization; we con- sider that that can best be done by choosing new Slle.
 San Francisco is a city Whlch dom," he continued. Freedom of dom," he continued. "Freedeoem of expression is guaranteed in the country to which San Francisco belongs, freedom of expression IS enforced by the courts; nowhere in the world is freedom more se- cure. It is a city of progress. It looks with courage and confidence to the future. In drawing up the charter at the conference in San Francisco, we all recognized with gratitude and admiration the debt we owed to the city of San Fran cisco and it's people. In fact, the charter was worked out in the spirit of San Francisco-the spirit of freedom and tolerance"

Leonard Williamson today IS Ace- ing Chief and sole active member of Juneaus Police force, following meeting of the Mayor and Counci members in private committee ses- sion shortly past o'clock last eve ming.
 Here is the present status of Ju- neau's Police Department.
 Former Patrolman Williamson has been appointed Acting Chief.
 Asst. Chief Hubert Gilligans resignation has been accepted,
 Patrolman Solon Dore has been suspended for 30 days.
 The City Administration is ex- recting resignations from Chiei oi Police John Monagle and Patroi- men John Homme, Bruce Stringer and J, w. McDanields.
 This summary of Police Depart ment affairs was expressed today py Mayor Ernest Parsons in a state- ment issued from the Mayors ol- flee "in order that the people oi .u,neau know the straight of the natter and refute the inference being made that the Council mem hers in secret session have taken an arbitrary action which should pc publicized. The Mayors written ! statement continues;
 "This shift is being made TOT what is considered the good of the community; no charges are to pc made. no stigma attached to any of the changes being made in con- fcrmance with the policy of the ad- ministration."
 Mayor Parsons statement skirts disclosure of any details of events and specific incidents leading to the present action, to prevent airing of which an Empire reporter was refused admission to last evening committee meeting The Mayors statement sets forth for cause the following smoke-screen:
 "Repeated complaints of lax law enforcement and of poor conouct have come to my attention. Such llaxness has been due to several reasons; one of which has been the pressure applied upon law enforce ment officers and the administra- tion when certain ordinances are enforced.
 q might cite as an example re- cent efforts to control parking ana traffic ordinances. Closing hours of cocktail bars and liquor stores has been another sore subject.
 Lack of discipline from the Mayor and Council has also contri- buted to poor enforcement, though we have tried to keep hands cii the affairs of the department.
 "At this time your Council de- sired a new set-up in the Police Department. Changes are to pc made at once along the lines de- cided by the Councilmen meeting as committee of the whole
 The purpose of last nights ses- sion was in origin principally Tor hearing of the case of Patrolman Dcre, request for whose resignation along with that of Asst. Chief Gill ligan had blown the lid oil the whole beclouded police situation After hearing again Patrolman Dore's statement of his position, the Councilmen last night modified their decision in his case to suS- pension.

Lay 1 pat of the butter or margarine on the paste, dredge very lightly with flour; fold over the paste SO as to enclose the fat; roll up like a jelly roll; pat and roll out IA inch thick; add fat and roll out as before. After all of the fat has been added, fold and roll out 4 or times. Roll with gentle strokes from center out.
 When the paste becomes soft, place in refrigerator until thorough ly chilled. Roll pastry quite thin. Mix the filling and spread over this.
