France 5 Survival Depend ed on Collaboration
 with Enemy, Claim

PARIS, Aug. 4--Pierre Laval, re- suming the story of the 1942 broadcast in which he expressed hope for German victory, said today he had explained his reasons for the talk to Admiral William D. Leahy, then U. s. Ambassador to Vichy.
 Laval did not relate the reaction of Leahy, now Chief of Staff to President Truman. In letter read earlier at the Petain trial, Leahy expressed belief that the 89-year- old Marshal Petain always had acted in the best interests of France.
 e Laval's mention of Leahy came after a defense attorney asked if the United States had made any moves to break diplomatic rela- tions with Vichy after the broad cast by Laval bespeaking a Hitler victory.
 A juror remarked that Laval should know that after his depar- ture yesterday Marshal Petain said that he insisted on the removal of .sthat phrase from the radio speech" Petain told the court he was amazed when he heard the speech delivered with the disputed passage.
 Laval testified yesterday he broadcast the statement T desire German victory" only after Pe- tain made him change the wording from T believe in German vic- tory"
 Today, in response to the juror, Laval said:
 q stand on what I said. The Marshal deleted the word believed but left the word desire And he was not indignant at all.'
 Laval testified that long after he made the broadcast, Petain said in a speech that from now on, Laval and I walk hand in hand all subjects of discussion between us have been solved"
 Describing his work during the occupation, Laval said the Ger mans "asphyxiated' France by oc- cupying departments from which most of the important food supp plies and industrial products nor- mally came.

NEW ACTION ON HOPPING UP OF
 JAP WAR MACHINE
British 10 Take Over South Pacific : Americans
 Take North
ASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-The British may take over mopping up of the South Pacific, leaving Gen eral MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz free to concentrate on Japan's homeland and immediate environs.
 This was the considered evalua- ton of the military talks British and American Army and Navy leaders have completed for destroying Nip pon's war machine.
 It was felt likely that Lord Louis Mountbatten, British Commander in Southeast Asia, will be placed in charge of an area extending from the Solomon Islands to just south of the Philippines, leaving him respon- sible for liherating Singapore and the Indies.
 Members of Congress applauded a suggestion of It. Gen. Doolittle at Okinawa that a single commandant be named for the Pacific and sug- gested Macarthur for the role Gen. Eisenhower served in Europe.

 The Canadian government pre- sumably will bear part of the ex- pense, Bllingsley said, and the United States probably would have to provide only about $5,000,000.

Gen. MacArthur, forming "a mighty invasion force for the final conquest of Japan" disclosed today he has added another air force to the powerful sky armada pcundinJ Japan so thoroughly that not single area of safcty' remains in all the sacred islands,
 The on-to-Tokyo leader an- nounced he has taken over com mand of Okinawa and other Ryikyu Island bases. added thern to the Philippines as "a great serni- circular base' for invasion. s
 The Thirteenth Jungle Air force" is being moved up from the Philippines to join four other Okinawa-b -based air forces in ham mering the enemy homeland. The Thirteenth is part of Gen. George O. Kenney's Far Eastern Air Forces which so far this year have de- stroyed or damaged 2,s46,ss2 tons of enemy shipping and 1875 tons
 The Fifth and Seventh Ar Forces, also under Kehney. hAre already moved Into Ckinnwa, saBd It. Gen. James Doolittle's Eghth tSuperfort) Air Force is scheduled to start operations from the same island this month. These forces are in addition to the Twentieth t6u- perfort) Air Force in the Marianas. and two fleet and two Marine air wings on Okinawa.
 Tn the face Of the current in- discriminate bombings by American planes" the enemy's government controlled Domei news agency com plained, "there certainly Is not single area of safety throughout Japan"
 Tokyo reported a handful Of B-29s and Navy dbombers were over the Tokyo area today, hit yester- day by Mustang fighters from Two Jima and Fleet Air Wing IS from Okinawa. Bstween them they wrecked 19 Japanese planes, l3 ves- sells ranging from small freighter- transport to fishing boats, 20 loco- motives. trains and ground insalla- tions.
 Thirteen more enemy vessels were knocked out by air forces operating in southern waters under MacAr- thur.
 Japanese suicide planes sank one U. s. ship and damaged another in one of their now-rare counterat- tacks at the growing Okinawa base $50 miles south of Japan.
 Within the next couple of weeks Gen Spaatz, who retains command of all Army Strategic Air Forces. should announce that Gen. Doo- little's B-29's have joined the aerial invasion of Japan.

APPROVAL FROM MEME ER5HIp IS
 OLENDY ANSWER
Local Russian Reltor De- nies Sitka Priest 5 Con-
 troI of St. Nicholas

Denial that any right to control of the St. Nicholas Church in Juneau is vested in the plaintiff was the basis on which the Rev. Eugene Olendy made answer in U. s. District Court here yesterday to legal action seeking his election, brought in the name of the Most Reverend Theophilus, Bishop of San Francisco and Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Greek Cath olic Church of the United States of America.
 Overshadowing the squabble over the right to possession of the Ju- neau church properties is, how ever, the issue of Soviet domination of churches of the Russian Ortho- dox faith within North America. The defendant looks to Moscow as the source of his authority. The plaintiff speaks for autonomy of the North American Church.
 
 The underlying scnism and the fight for control by the opposing factions was brought out by five exhibits entered in evidence before the court Friday afternoon.
 Called to the stand as complain ing witness by Attorney H. L, Faulkner, John Zlobin, the Right Reverend Archimandrite of the Russian Greek Catholic Church of the United States of America in Alaska, Priest of St. Michael's Cathedral Sitka, testified that he had been appointed by Bishop Theophilus as Administrator of all church properties in Alaska He identified a letter he had written from Sitka to the Rev. Olendy al Juneau. In part, the latter alleges

poisdam Protocol Was
 In Large Measure Plan
 Suggested by President
By Ernest E. Vaccaro fAssocia Press Correspondent

WITH PRESIDENT TRUMAN ABOARD U. s, s. AUGUSTA, Aug. 4-President Truman's oft-expres5ed view that solution can be found for every legitimate controversy emerged today as one of his major contributions to the Berlin Con- ference.
 Presiding over the sessions with geniality and good humor, he early convinced the British and Russian leaders that no avenue of com promise should be abandoned.
 The protocol which emerged in the small hours of Thursday was based in large measure upon agenda the President brought with him in writing to the first meet ing.
 Prepared in frequent consulta- tions with James F. Byrnes, Secre- tary of State, the proposals gave the three delegations basis for starting immediate Consultations.
 When the proposals were pre- sented, Churchill added certain subjects orally. as did Generalis- simo Stalin. So the Presidents agenda was referred immediately to the foreign secretaries, forming the basis for most of the future discussion
 The decision to establish a Council of Foreign Ministers of the United States, Russia. Great Brit ain. China and France was based on the agenda.
 MT Truman did much to keep his conferees in good humor throughout the nine meetings. He left Potsdam with the apparent good will of the Russian and British leadership.
 At the meeting, Attlee suggested technical change in language in one part of the protocol based on the American agenda. Stalin ap- parently thought the American lan- guage was clearer than the British. MT. Truman told Stalin the change was agreeable to him.
 If the President of the United States understands it, the Russians can. too" Stalin replied with a grin.
 The closing session last Thursday brought suggestion from MT. Truman that If there is another Big Three" get-together, it be staged in Washington.
 God willing" Stalin smilingly replied.

Parsons Loses p atiente with DiIdtory ladies
 of Council
Jerked again!

JeIkcu dBdHl!
 That's the status of Juneaus City Budget for 1945-46, as of today.
 The budget was almost the en- tire order of business at last even- ing's first regular August session of the Common Council. But when some of the councilmen pulled out their sharpest pencils and started trimming shaving here and clipping a corner there, Mayor Ernest Parsons decided that these summer nights aren't long enough.
 Withdrawing his own proposed budgct--thc same as presented last week, with three suggested added itcmG-the mayor tossed the whole affair into the lap of the Council Finance Committee, directing that group to bring in it's own budget proposal for the next meeting, Result another special council meeting is likely ill the offing, as an adopted budget is deemed neces- sary before the council sits down to the business of setting the tax millage rate; which is supposed to be done immediately following con- clusion of the Board of Equaliza- ton hearings set for next week.
 All Week To Whittle
 You've had all week" to do your whiting on this budget, the mayor told his council; now T don't care what you do"
 The mayor pulled that same old budget back into the open last night with no changes from what had been presented to the council week ago reserved for further consideration. The mayor just added three suggestions: 1--Inclusion of $500 for com pilation and revision of the city ordinance.
 2-Eight hundred dollars as a suggested addition for civic lia- bility insurance coverage.
 Employment of a full-time assessor at $500 a year-the job to include the new duties of Sani- tary Inspector and Fire Marshal
 The mayor stated that although the revision iob on the ordinance has already been contracted, he thought that Henry Roden. who is

 He said that in return for send ing l50,000 French workers to Ger many. an act for which French public opinion today holds Laval mainly responsible, he obtained the liberation of 5000 prisoners.
