BIG FIVE COUNCIL
 HITS SNAG ABOUT
 PEACE IN EUROPE
Serious Difficulty Experi. eneed, with Russia
 Making Demands

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Big Five Council of Foreign Ministers turned to discussion of Europe's inland waterways and the immediate future of Austria today amid increasing indications that the group was meet ing serious difficulty in reaching agreements under it's present pro- cedure.
 Some observers already are pre- dieting that the council may be dis solved and another means found to write Europe's peace.
 This view was reflected in an edi- torial today in the Daily Mail, which said: Tt has become clear that the first meeting of the Council of For eign Ministers has not succeeded. . . Before the delegates disperse some face saving formula will no doubt be devised to cover their &C., tivities"
 The immediate issue threatening Big Five unity is Soviet objection to France and China participating in Hungarian treaty discussions. Russian complaints shelved the Hun garian talks-last peace terms on the agenda-until the procedure is strengthened out.
 Diplomatic sources said the Rus sians apparently feared the United States and Britain might pull France and China over to their side and drown the voice of Moscow.

Takes Over Atomic
 Bomb Secret
Denies Any Heated Argu- ments in Cabinet at
 Recent Meeting

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Pres- ident Truman today assumed person. al guardianship over this country's share in the atomic bomb secret.
 Congress eventually will have the final say.
 But until it does, MT. Truman served notice that he-and he alone will make the final decision on what his administration policy is to be on the future use and develop ment of atomic energy.
 The Chief executives pronounce ment was delivered to handful of reporters who accompanied him hack to the White House last night from a weekend outing at Jefferson Islands, Md.
 There had been published reports that Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace had insisted at cabi- net meeting last Friday that Russia be given the secret of the bomb and te made party to development of atomic energy. These reports said the cabinet meeting was a spirited one.
 Immediately after his automobile drove up to the White House, re- porters clustered around the Presi- dent, asking for clarification.
 MT. Truman scoffed at the re- ports that Wallace had stirred up the cabinet.
 Wallace, he said--and he empha- sized his words-took no more active part in the discussion than any one else. The reports, he continued, were not correct

TRUMAY SAYS N acAR THUR IS SUPREME
Commander Is Head of 0e- eupdtion Forces in
 Japan, Korea

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Presi- dent Truman has directed Gen. Douglas MacArthur not to let the Japanese question the scope of his authority as Supreme Commander.
 The directive was sent Macarthur September 6. It was made public by the White House today shortly after Senator Wherry (R.-Neb) con- tended that a smear campaign" is being waged against Macarthur with the aim of forcing his removal as Supreme Allied Commander.
 The newly released directive was described as intended to clarify Mac Arthurs authority in his position as head of occupation forces in Japan and Korea.
 Prepared by the departments of State, War and Navy, the message, which had President Truman's ap- proval, made three points:
 1. The authority of the Emperor and the Japanese government is sub ordinate to MacArthur as Supreme Commander for the Allied powers Our relations with Japan do not rest on contractual basis, but on unconditional surrender. Since your authority is supreme you will not entertain any question on the part of the Japanese as to it's scope
 2. Control of Japan shall be ex- ercised through the Japanese gov- ernment as long as the arrange ments produces satisfactory results without prejudice to MacArthur's $ right to act directly and use force if necessary.
 3. The Potsdam declaration re- garding postwar treatment of Japan shall be given effect, not because of any contractual requirements, but because the declaration forms a part of our policy stated in good faith with relation to Japan and with relation to peace and security in the Far East"
 Wherry made his statement as he sought. with little visible support, to block Senate action on the nom- ination of Dean c. Acheson as Under Secretary of State.
 The Senate voted 66 to 12, against delaying action and then approved with Wherry opposing.

WASHINGTON-Of all the mill lions who contributed to the defeat of Japan, none perhaps is more entitled to credit than the vener- able statesman who Friday cele- brated his seventy eighth birthday and his last week as Secretary of War Perhaps even more than for his late chief, victory over Japan was a personal victory for Henry L. ,Stimson.
 He had begun fighting Japan as Secretary of State under Hoover, IA years ago last week. And he never stopped, not even when he was out. of office-until now.
 Even after he had stepped out of the. State Department following Roosevelt's inauguration in 1883, Stimson came down to see the new President of the United States about Japan.
 He and Roosevelt at that time did not particularly like each other. They had been political enemies since 1910 That was the year which swept young Roosevelt into the New York Senate and MT. Stimson into defeat as candidate for Gov ernor of New York.
 Stimson, older than Roosevelt both in age and in manner, re- garded him as on ostentatious young whippersnapper. didn't like the way he wore riding boots in the Albany Legislature, considered him a poor imitation of his cousin Teddy, whom Stimson worshipped. Charming, but without stamina" |" was the way Stimson described Roosevelt in those days.
 Nevertheless, the ex-Secretary of State swallowed his personal feel

Precedent Shdttering Event Reported Going to

 OUT AT OLD CLIQUE
Cracks Whip on Japanese Government Appoint
 ments- -veto Made

TOKYO, Sept. 24-Well- informed Japanese sources said today that Emperor Hirohito has arranged to pay precedent -shattering call on Gen. MacArthur at the latter's residence, the American Embassy building. No date was specified.
 The decision on a meeting place of conqueror and conquered was reached, these sources told Asso- ciated Press Correspondent Russell Brines, at recent conference be- tween MacArthur and Admiral Flu jita, Grand Chamberlin.
 Official confirmation was lacking. although meeting of MacArthur and Hirohito long has been ex- pected. If the Emperor goes to MacArthurs residence at the em- bassy, it would be the first time in modern history that any Japanese Emperor has gone to another ruler for an audience.
 The Allied High Command today blocked any atomic-bomb research in Japan. directed rigid control of Japanese economic life, including wages, prices and all traffic in currencies and negotiable assets, and moved toward free Japanese press.
 Jap Clique Knocked Out
 The new order directed the Im- perial Government to remove itself completely from direct or indirect control of newspapers and news agencies. Heretofore. the ruling Japanese clique has almost con- pletely controlled and directed news policies.
 Stripping the present Domei agency of its special privileges. the order paves the way for establish ment of new and truly free com peting agencies.
 Two other far-reaching directives aimed at freezing traffic in cur rencies and other negotiable assets, to facilitate the task of finger printing" Japan's assets at home and abroad.
 Prohibitions
 Prohibited are export or import of gold or silver coin; gold. silver, and platinum bullion or currency; and securities, checks, bank drafts, bills of exchange, powers of att torney. proxies and any evidence of indebtedness or evidence of prop erty ownership not specifically ex- empted.
 One of the Empercr's closest advisers. meanwhile. disclosed that in his opinion Emperor Hirohito did receive President Roosevelt's peace plea and a note from the U. s. State Department regarding a peace memorandum on Nov 26. l94l, but ignored both when War Lord Hideki Tojo and other ad- visers told him it was useless to resist the rising war tide in Japan.
 Publication Reports Said False

Agitation in Syria
Threatens Christians
and Jews


WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Agi-
tation against the French by Le-
banese for their independence,
has provoked a situation in Syria
which threatens not only Jews but
Christians as well, according to
well-informed Washington au-
thorities.
The agitation has given rise to
"anti-foreigner" propaganda, such
that Christians are seeking ref
uge from Syria in Lebanon and
Syrian Jews are seeking refuge
in Palestine, it was reported here
this week.

President Hutchins of the Uni

an essay which applies the same
thought to the great problem of
our time, the question ''Why

and corruptions of peace are in a
way greater because more insid-

front country in war. No simple

either for the individual or for
the community" This is the bas-

the ideals of Jewish life flow from
the devouring cauldron of Nazi
crime, from the example of the

Judaism was never conquered
by tyranny and persecution, just
as Samson was never defeated in
battle. Humiliation for heart and
body came to him from the weak
ness of his character. How true
that is for Israel, too.
We know how to fight and how

Listen to the factory whistles in
Palestine, to the songs of the
Jewish Brigade, and know that
Jews fought and died for their
Jewish cause.
But = will this awareness of
our Jewish cause stay with us in
peace. Will we know how to LIVE
as Jews, even as we knew how
to die. Will we remember the
all-dominating, the divine pur-
pose of Jewish living in that
blissful future when no sergeant
will bark his command, and only
that "still small voice within us"
whispers its warnings, when no
officer will issue orders, except
perhaps a former chaplain call
ing his flock to prayer, when in
stead of being enthused by mar

inspiration from reports of
achievements and aspirations in

Samson promised Sustenance
to come from destruction and

spoke with the voice of divine
prophecy. We dare not doubt.
When the dangers of peace"
