in the Thursday night and Friday
attacks, Mr. Haugland said.
A dozen or more troop carrying
planes were in the japanese force
at Yontan.
Fifteen Japs Land on Airfield.
There were Is japanese aboard
the plane that succeeded, Mr.. Haug-
land said, but only eight scrambled
out with grenades, sidearms and
machine guns. They went into a
quick huddle, then headed for
American planes and the radio
tower.
The Japs came out of their plane,
then spread out cautiously and ap-
preached our planes across the run
ways said Marine Sergt. Claude
Canup, Anderson, S. c., combat
correspondent who witnessed the
attack.
They had taken only few steps
when the Marines opened fire. The
Japs hit the deck and began firing,
but kept crawling toward the radio
tower"
While the Japanese succeeded in
setting some American planes afre,
all were killed or committed suicide
when they were wounded.
Other Jap Planes DOwned.
Mr.. Haugland estimated that $50
additional suicide airborne troops
were killed in perhaps II more of
the two-engined planes which were
shot down by American ground
guns and fighter pilots.
The airborne Japanese evidently
expected to complete mission at
the field and then break loose for a
harassing campaign behind Ameri-
can lines. Their equipment included
knee mortars, small machine guns
and rifles, food and water -purifica-
ton materials.
The attacks were reported. earlier
by Tokyo radio which described the
mission as fighting by new Cir

All accounts agreed that Emperor

The broadcasts seemed to agree
also that at least the "outer palace

+, The chapter relating to the struc-
ture of an economic and social
council also Is In good shape for
ANAL approval.
A deterring element is tendency
to interminable discussion and de-
bate over q plethora of proposed
amendments, some OF them trivial,
which consume hours of committee
time.
Since each speech must be trans
lated at least once into another Lam
guage, this lengthy debate is slow

tees have acted, and then the COM
missions to which the committees
report, 1t becomes necessary for the
drafting experts to whip the pro-

ter-treaty language.
Small Nations Defeated.

clared it was not a question OF

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2e.-Small
nations chalked up q fought
victory over the great powers today
In q United Nations conference COM
mittee vote to omit from world
charter provision for expelling un-
ruly members.
Delegates attending routine COM
mittee sessions talked about reports
that Gen. Charles de Gaulle might
fly to Washington next week and
accompany President Truman to the
closing ceremonies OF the conference
early In June. The French delega-
ton lacked confirmation, however.
The Big Five - Russia, China,
Britain, France and United States
now are confronted with the prob
lens suf carrying an appeal to a con-
ference commission If they want to
write an expulsion provision into the
charter.
1t was learned today that they
had failed to drum up the necessary
two-thirds vote to do 1t in a COM
mittee on membership, despite
strong pleas by American, Russian
and British spokesmen.
They built up 10 votes for a pro-
posal. to mention expulsion in the
charter, but is negative votes pre-
vented obtaining the required two
thirds.
Urges Political Exile.
Russian Delegate 2. K. Zarap-
khan declared lack of an expulsion
provision would act like an ulcer"
on the world organization and urged
political exile for nations which
don't observe charter obligations.
William Madame, a British dele
gate, suggested that infractions of
charter obligations might be pun
ished by suspension but that ex-
pulsison should be the rule for any
country that fails to keep peace.
Finally. suspension clause was
approved, Is to l, with Russia and
the United States not voting and
Britain recorded in the negative.

Japan Still Can Wage
Long War Despite
Reverses, FEA Says
By the Associated Press.


Japan still is capable OF
waging a long war despite de-
structive air attacks and naval
defeats which have cut off almost
entirely her stolen sources OF
rubber, oil and tin. the Foreign
Economics Administration said
last night.
"A large portion of the war in
dustry she had at Pearl Harbor is
intact" said report by the enemy
branch of the agency.
In addition, key raw materials
are available in the so-called in
ner zone"-Japan proper, Korea
Manchuria and part of North China
where Japanese war industry was
organized there before the war.
Only Percent Liberated.
In spite of ma jor successes in cut
ting of Japan from the resources
OF the East Indies, Malaga and the
Philippines, FEA said, the Allies so
far have liberated less than 7 per
cent of the nearly 100000 square
miles of conquered territory con-
trolled by the enemy
In the inner zone, moreover, are
synthetic oil plants with an esti-
mated capacity of more than 21,-
100000 barrels in 1914
With the loss of the major part
OF her navy and the reduction of
her merchant marine, this quantity
may be sufficient to meet require
ments for the approximately 2,OO0,-
600 tons of Japanese shipping re-
manning in the reduced area of
operations" the report went on.
Food Scarcity Not Dire.
Food scarcity will not shorten
Japanese ability to resist, FEA said
although the rice of Burma, now
occupied largely by the Allies, Thai
land and Indo China is denied the
Japanese.
This will increase the difficulties
OF the present short food supply in
Japan, but will not seriously inter-
fere with the war effort and will not
result in starvation in the inner
zone.
practically the whole of the
processing of capacity of the Japa-
nese Empire, as we'll as adequate
supplies of raw materials. lies in
the inner areas. 1t is true that, in
terms of individual industrial CEN
ters and plants, bomb damage has

miles of such cities as Tokyo, Ma
goya, Osaka and Kobe, all vital to
Japan's war effort, have been laid
waste =.
Industry Widely Dispersed.
ITO meet this threat from the
air, however, japanese war leaders
long ago placed in operation an eX-
tensive dispersal program. Plants
have been established in secluded
localities and in some areas pro-
tected by ravines and hills, and
widely dispersed industries have
been developed in Korea, Manchuria
and China.
In recent months the dispersal

Tin and rubber from the south
said the agency, ARE reported to
have been stocked in Japan in
quantities sufficient to meet war re-
quirements for many months"
Stockpiles of tungsten, lead, zinc
and nickel also exist.
Supplies of iron ore from Malaga
and the Philippines have been fall
ing off for many months, but are
replaced by production from newly
opened on newly expanded areas in
Manchuria and China and by utiliz-
ing, through a new concentration
process, the plentiful but poor ores in
