District Committee is the ranking
majority member of the Civil Serv-
ice Committee and can become Mr.

700 U. 5. Aircraft
Reported Sent to
Aid Chang Forces
BY the Associated Press.

Dy Inc Associated PreSs.
CHUNGKING, Nov. 27-Chi-
nese Nationalists heard today
that about 700 American planes
are being flown into China, pre-
sumably for their use, as Central
government troops drove to
within 80 miles of Mukden, vital
rail center in the battle for
Manchuria.
Richard Cushing, an Associated
Press correspondent. wrote from
Shanghai that almost every fyable
American plane in India and Burma
was being flown into China in an
operation which already has cost
several American lives. There were
II crashes last Thursday when %
P-5ls flying from Running to
the Shanghai area encountered q
weather front.
Mr.. Gushing was told the flight
was ordered by the War Department
and that the 10th Air Force was
bringing transports and the 14th
Air Force fighters. Ranking officers
told Mr.. Gushing the aircraft un-
doubtedly will be given to the
Chinese Nationalists.
War Department Silent.
(War Department officials here
have refused to comment.)
American Air Force officials said
it is vital that the United States
protect Allied gains in China, Mr..
Gushing wrote, but the men flying
the aircraft "are debating angrily
whether they ought to be risking
their lives three mnoths after the
end of the war"
Chunklng newspapers said Ma
tionalist forces advanced 40 miles
along the Peiping- -Mukden railroad
to Kowpangtze, 80 miles from Muk-
den. There was no report of oppo-
sition.
simultaneously, unconfrmed press
reports indicated the Russians will
permit the Nationalists to garrison
Manchuria. They asserted a num-
Der of Gen. Chang Kai-shek's off,
cials had returned to Changchun,
Manchurian capital.
Russians Cooperate.
The Soviets also were said to have
pledged the safety of Nationalist
troops flown into Changchung or
Mukden.
Russia will adhere to the spirit Of
the Sino-Soviet friendship and al
lance pact. these reports declared,
but will postpone withdrawal of
Soviet troops from Manchuria until
January. The original withdrawal
date was December 3.

+Soviet Reported
Drafting Reply
To Notes on Iran
Reds Won't Yield to
AngIo-U. S. Pressure,
Moscow Sources Soy
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, Nov. 27.-Informed
sources here said today it was
believed the Soviet Union is pre-
pairing an answer to American
and British notes submitted to
the Russian Foreign Office on
the situation in Azerbaijan. a
northwestern province of Iran,
where Separatist elements have
demanded autonomy within the
Iranian state.
The American note, delivered last
Saturday through Ambassador w.
Arevell Hartman, proposed that
American, British and Russian
troops be withdrawn from Iran by
January l. The British note, pre-
sented yesterday by Ambassador Sir
Archibald Clark Kerr. urged the
Russians not to impede the move
ment of Iranian troops.
The Iranians had complained
that Red Army officers prevented
them from sending reinforcements
to Azerbaijan Province.
"a traveller from Northern Iran
reported today that Azerbaijan
Separatists had occupied Zenjan,
174 miles northwest of Teheran,
dispatch from the Iranian cap
ltal said. There was no Official
confirmation in Teheran.)
Russian Position Outlined.
One thing certain, informed
sources said, is that the Soviet
Union is not likely to order any
withdrawal of Soviet troops from
Azerbaijan because of pressure ap-
piled by Britain or America on the
basis that Russia is interfering
with Trans sovereignty.
The Russian position already has
been officially outlined in CONVEX
satlonS between the Iranian repre-
sentative in the Soviet Union and
Foreign Commissar v. M. Molotov,
who assured the Persian envoy that
Russia does and will continue to
respect the sovereign rights of Iran
in Azerbaijan where Red Army
troops are in occupation.
The United States lined up
openly beside Iran in proposing
that all American, Russian and
British troops evaeuate that oil
rich country by Janary /.
1ranian Ambassador Hussein Ala,
who had been working toward that
end in the State Department con-
versations for the last week, yester.
day termed the proposal "most sat-
lsfactory." He expressed confidence
Britain would fall in line with it
promptly.
There was no official reaction
from London Immediately on that
point.
British Disturbed.
The British government today
said it had informed Moscow it was
disturbed to learn that Soviet mill
tary authorities had prevented
Iranian forces from quelhng in
surgent disturbances in Azerbaijan
The note handed by Ambassador
Sir Archibald Clark Kerr to Foreign
Commissar v. M. Molotov said Brit
ain presumed that Russias action
was due to some misunderstanding
and suggested that Moscow might
feel able to instruct" the Red Army
commander not to obStruct Iraniar
forces in the future.
The American note acknowledged
that this Governments reports OF
the uprising and the turning back
of Iranian troops came from the
Teheran government itself.
1t recalled the Roosevelt Stain
Churchill Teheran declaration which
pieged the Big Three governments
to respect the independence, sover-
eighty and territorial integrity OF
Iran"
The American view is that this
pledge permits Iran to move its
armed forces about the country as
deemed necessary without interfer-

'0ne-Front' Schedule
For Planes May Cut
Output 1000 Monthly
AAF Proposals on Needs
In Pacific Submitted to
WPB for Approval
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A"one-front" airplane produc-
tion schedule which may cut
monthly output by as many as
1000 planes by the end of this
year has been drafted by the
Army Air Forces. About 1000
craft now are being turned out
each month.
The revised schedule, it was
learned today, has been submitted
to WPB's Production Readjustment
Committee for approval.
In effect, the new schedule writes
of the European war so far as plane
production is concerned. It in
wolves only estimated Army needs
in the Pacific.
With the exception of the two
giant bombers, the Boeing B-29
Super Fortress and the Consolidated
Vultee B-32, virtually all -AAF COM
bat planes are affected. Some of
the cutbacks, however, are merely
paper ones. This means that orig
inally projected, production peaks
are being lowered, but that the
effect will not be felt for many
months.
Cargo Types Under Study.
Even with the new schedule, some
in the AAF believe further reduc-
tions will be required to balance
supply with demand because thou
sands of planes will become avail
able with the end of hostilities in
Europe.
AS a result, studies now are being
made to determine whether cut
backs should be made in some cargo
types as well as combat craft.
Despite the lessening of Army
needs for planes, Navy requirements
are expected to continue at present
or even higher levels.
The new Army schedule calls for
elimination by the end of this year
of the Lockheed Lightning P-38,
and reduced production in coming
months Of the AAF's other two ''big
three" flghters-the PAT Thunder
bolt and the Psi Mustang.

Mines, |ckes Warns
As Id|eness Spreads
Nearly All Hard Coal
Pits Close Due to
Deadlock on Contract

With virtually all anthracite
mines closed and work. stoppages
apparently spreading in the soft
coal fields. Secretary of Interior
Ickes declared today, after a talk
with President Truman, that the
Government was prepared to
seize all mines involved in the
strikes.
Mr.. Ickes called on the President
to inform him that production in
hard coal mines was at a standstill
because of inability of operators and
John L. Lewis United Mine Workers
to agree on a new work contract
and that soft coal miners were going
out.
The work stoppages in the btu
minous mines apparently were a re-
suit of failure of the miners to re-
ceive notice that their new wage
agreement had been finally ap-
proved by the Government. Both
the anthracite contract and a 30-day
extension of the soft coal agreement
expired last midnight, and Federal
approval of the bituminous agree
ment was not given until late yes
terday.
Worst News Today"
'The President told me-" Mr.. Ickes
said at the White House, that that
was the worst news he has had this
morning.
"Ill take over sthe bituminous
mines as fast as they go out. I'm
ready to take over the anthracite
mines"
Unofficial surveys showed that
few, if any, of the $4,000 anthracite
members of the United Mine Work
ers went into Pennsylvania pits.
The work agreement expired at mid
night and WLB summoned opera
tors and miners for a show cause"
hearing here at 2:30 pm. today.
Presumably, WLB will order extern
sion of the old agreement.
In New York, meanwhile, the an
thracite operators issued a state

Perkins proposals for settlement Of
the contract dispute. Producers de-
clared that Mr.. Lewis had at

ers previously had accepted the pro-
posals.
AS negotiations between miners
and operators resumed today, Maj.

Star Staff Correspondent,

SAN FRANCISCO, May For
eign Commissar v. M. Molotov
expects to leave the United Ma
tions Conference within several
days, it was reported today on
reliable authority. Mr.. Molotov,
it was indicated, will announce
the exact date of his departure
within the next "a or 48 hours.
The same sources disclosed that
last nights meeting of the Steering
Committee following the vote to ad-
NIT Argentina, was the most salts
factory thus far and that Mr.. Molo-
tov's departure was in no way
show of displeasure over the Rus
sian defeat on this point Pressing
war developments in Russia were
reported behind the decision.
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden is expected to remain for some
time.
Way Clear for Organization.
The decks were cleared for COM
pleting the conference organization
yesterday when the 46 United Ma
tions unanimously invited White
Russia and the Ukraine, Soviet re-
publics, to take part in their delib-
erations here and issued a similar
invitation to Argentina over the
opposition of the Russian delega-
ton.
The makeup of the four commits
slons to do the spadework on the
peace organization charter has been
cleared through the heads of the
delegations of the four sponsoring
nations-the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and China. Places
have been found on the commissions
Tor the three newly admitted dele
cations.
Molotov May Press Fight.
Soviet Foreign Commissar v. M.
Molotov, however, has questioned
the right of Argentina to be SO rep
resented. The intimation is that he
may carry the fight to the Execu-
tive and Steering Committees and
to the conference itself, as he did
his opposition to Argentina's ad.
mission to the conference.
The invitation for the two Soviet
republics to attend the conference
was sequel to a previous vote of
the conference to admit them to
the United Nations.
Argentina's invitation, however,
was extended only after a strenuous
fight against it by Mr.. Molotov, in
which he was first defeated in the
Executive Committee, then the
Steering Committee and finally in
plenary session of the conference,
Two Votes on Argentina.
TWO votes were taken on Argen-
tina in the plenary session. The
first was on motion of Mr.. Molotov
to postpone action for several DAYS
during which the question could be
further studied. This motion was
defeated, % to 7. The seven votes
cast for the motion were those of
Russia, Greece, Belgium, Norway.
Yugoslavia, New Zealand and
| Czechoslavia
The second vote was on inviting
Argentina. The motion carried, 81
to 4. Voting may" were Russia,
Greece, Czechoslovakia and Yugo-
slavia.
In his argument before the plen-
ary session against an invitation to
Argentina, Mr.. Molotov sought to
link the case of Poland with that of
the South American republic, de-
claring that the present Lublin gov
ernment in Poland was far more en-
titled to recognition than was the
government of Argentina.
