China Area Searched
To Ascertain Fate Of
1000 Missing Yanks
BY the Associated i press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Dec. 13.-Teams of
China-wise Americans, are search
ing all sections of this theater and
islands offshore hoping to establish
the fate of more than 1000 Ameri-
can Army and Navy personnel
missing in the rugged terrain.
Because Of the inaccessibility of
the country and other factors, they
admittedly will be lucky If they
achieve so per cent success.
The painstaking hunt Is being
conducted by the China Theater
Search Detachment under Col.
Dave Barrett, Boulder, Colo, Who
has been in China 81 years-l6 ,of
them in the Army.
Fifty-eight officers, and 81 en-
listed men comprise the 8-n1an
search teams. They are packing
supplies sufficient to last months.
The job may last until next May.
Most of the missing men are air
crew members lost in crashes in the
Hump area or in coastal regions
| from which the aerial sweeps
against Japan were launched. The
search crews are operating from 10
bases stretching from Hanoi to Pei
ping, and as far east as the island
of Formosa.
There is scant hope of finding
any of the missing men alive. But
the teams are penetrating remote
areas, questioning villagers. They
will report locations of any graves.
Most of those who escaped from
crashes have been able to get back
by now" explained Maj. Alva r.
Smith, Savannah, Ga, head of the
detachment's intelligence section.
A Chinese superstition against
touching buried body is expected
to be of considerable help in locat-
ing graves.
Chinese may take valuables from
body before they bury it" said
Smith, but once a body is placed
in the ground, it's there for good
and the Chinese will lead us to it,"
In addition to helping locate
graves, Chinese have supplied de-
tailed information on crashes and
sometimes even the names of the
victims. Many Americans were
buried by japanese and the graves
found with staFes bearing their
Identification.

|BYrnes Is Delayed
|By Weather, Lands
Secretly al Paris
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Dec. 13.-An American
Embassy spokesman said today that
Secretary of State Byrnes and his
party, en- route here for three-power
talks, had been delayed by bad
weather. A heavy snow fell in Mos
COW and Northwest Russia last night.
The spokesman said the group
might arrive 'as late as Sunday.
Previously, Mr.. Byrnes had been ex-
pected to arrive today.
(The French agency said Mr..
Byrnes had arrived in Paris, a
report that was confirmed by an
official at Orly Field, chief mill
tary airport. Considerable secrecy
attended his arrival and the field
was cleared of all personnel we'll
before his plane touched ground)
Great public interest in Russia
centered on the forthcoming con-
ference of Mr.. Byrnes, British Fore
ign Secretary Bevin and Foreign
Commissar Molotov.
The British and American EN-
bassies in Moscow are planning to
hold regular press conferences for
spot news and background guidance
during the Foreign Ministers Con-
ference.
Any official statement on news
policy at the conference, however
awaits the arrival of Mr.. Byrnes and
Mr.. Bevin
The British delegation is bringing
a veteran press relations official
from the Foreign Office.
The people of the Soviet Union
seem sincerely pleased" with the
forthcoming conference, an in
formed source said yesterday.
Il think the atomic question will
be the big issue of the conference, -
a high scource said, adding he be-
lieved the United States would pre-
sent definite proposals on the mat
ter which should convince the
Soviet people of the United States
good intentions"
Most observers, holding similar
view. thought the issues discussed
would include Germany, the Orient,
peace treaties, the Iranian problem
and the question Of the Dardanelles.

for The 18th consecutive full session.
Principal reason given for the decline
was the recommendation OF Mariner s.
Eccles. chairman Of the federal reserve
board, that a wartime excess profits tax
be applied To speculative gains on stocks
and real estate. However technical fac
tors also played a rart since the market

brought in some evening uD operations.
The Eccles statement confirmed in the

margin trading. That rumor has neither
been confirmed nor denied by the federal
government.
Losses were reduced before the close by
several favorable factors, including the
regular dividend on American Telephone,

NEW YORK, FEB. %. CUP)-
President Ford Frick of the Nation
al league made it plain Thursday
that the Office of Defense Trans
portation did not ask baseball to
curtail its travel % per cent as re-
ported from Washington WedreS-
day by a service other than the
United Press.
Frick said he couldn't understand
how the service got twisted"
He told the United Press today,
In fairness to the ODT, let me
make clear what happened at We'd
nesday's conference in Washington.
Let me emphasize that the ODT did
not ask baseball to cut its travel
nor to do anything else
EXPLAINS TALKS
Frick explained that he and Will
Tiarridge went to ODT headquart-
ers. Harricge is president of the
American league. They conferred
with Transportation Director j.
Monroe johnson. They wanted to
find out how baseball could help
most to ease the transportation
shortage without wrecking the game.
So they asked him.
Frick continued, In reply to our
questions, Director johnson made
some suggestions. Mr.. Harridge and
also mace some suggestions. We
discussed the situation at length.
Then Mr. Harridge and 1 told Col
onel johnson We believed Major
league travel could be cut about 25
per cent by making certain curtail-
ments. These included reducing the
number of club trips in home sec
tions, and eliminating certain train
ing and season exhibition games
as well as the midsummer All-Star
game. Also by possibly cancelling
the World series. Director Johnson
approved these proposals.
A reporter asked Frick about the
elimination of the annual All-Star
game, scheduled this year for July
S at Boston's Fenway Park. Was this
an important elimination, figured
in mileage?
Yes indeed" he answered, I'VE
estimate that elimination of the ALL
Star game will cut out more than
half-million passenger miles"
In the opinion of the reporter, this
answer sounded like a nail in the
coffin of the World series-unleSs
