Marshall May Be Asked
 To Testify On COP Claims
BY JOHN .. CUTTER

(Unlted Press Sthtt COrFebpOnuentD
 Washington, Sept 22,-(UP)- Congress expects to ask Gen, George c, Marshall about reports that he dissuaded Gov, Thomas F, Dewey of New York from disclosing certain information about Pearl Harbof In the presidential campaign last year,
 Republican National Chairman Herbert Brownell, IT,, confirmed In New York yesterday that Dewey withheld crucial facts about the Pearl Harbor disaster at Marshall's request,
 Dewey As Witness?
 Whether Dewey, l944 COP preS!- dential candidate, will be witness before the special congressional con- mittee about to investigate Pearl Harbor is problematical. There lS some sentiment within the l0-man joint committee to have the defeat- ed candidate tell his own story about the episode,
 But there Is also belief that Dewey wouldn't be able to tell~any- thing that Marshall couldn't give more fully. Dewey himself said yesterday in Albany that he was willing to testify but T have no information that is not available from direct government sources"
 Marshall Is scheduled to be one Of the principal witnesses when the committee begins public hearings anyhow.
 Tn any event, the two letters which Marshall Is said to have addressed to Dewey on the subject during the presidential campaign are expected to be made a part of the record dur- ing committee hearings. Browneil confirmed that Dewey had received two "confidential' letters from Mar shall at that time.
 Life Story
 Committe members generally were wary about commenting on the Life magazine article that salG Dewey "knew the full story of Pearl Harbor" during the campaign but refrained from using 1t.
 The committee has held only one perfunctory meeting since it's ap- pointment a week ago. At that time Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky was elected chairman and instructed to get up a list of possible choices for the inl- portant post of committe counsel.
 Barkley hasn't made a move in that direction yet. The latest word was that he doesn't expect to have a committee meeting before next Tuesday.

.M'Arthur Makes More
 Demands OfJapanese
FinoneioI Account. ing Ordered as Arrests Continue

Tokyo, Sept. 22-tUPl--Qen' Douglas MacArthur demanded c complete financial accounting from the Japanese government today preparatory to clamping new con- trois on the beaten enemy,
 He also ordered the government to arrest ailing elderly Gen, Nobu. yuki Abe, busted governor.general of Korea, and turn him over to the American Eighth Army. He pre-. suEnably was wanted for trial'as Q war criminal.
 Abe was removed from his Korean post Sept, l4 by American occupa- ton authorities and was believed to have returned to Japan. He for- meriy served as premier Of Japan In 1899 and later was president of the TotalItarlan Imperial Rule As- slstance Political society.
 Report
 Tn his financial directive, Mae. Arthur ordered the Japanese goV- erninent to furnish complete infor- nation regarding finances and fi' nancial regulations of the govern. ment, the treasury, the imperial household, banks, insurance como panies and other financial inStitu. tons within two weeks.
 The economic and scientific sec- ton of MacArthur's headquarters said the information was necessary to follow and possibly prohibit the use of government funds for "pur. poses inimical to the objectiveS of the occupation"
 The Japanese cabinet at an ex. traordinary meeting today adopted a plan prepared by Premier Prince Naruhiko Higashi-Kuni for reor- gan,zation of the all-important cen- tral liaison council, through which Allied directives are issued for en- forcement.
 The plan was submitted to the priyy council for final approval and will not be announced until that body has acted.
 Fighters Rule
 Macarthur frightened his rule over Japan as a second American Army the sixth of Philippines and New Guinea fame-prepared to move in- to the enemy homeland in force tomorrow.
 The new arrivals will begin the formal occupation of Kyushu. southernmost of the Japanese home islands, with large-scale landings at the Atomic-bombed port of Na- gasaxi. Some l50,000 or more troops of the Eighth Army already were ashore on Honshu Island, with nearly half of them concentrated within a 30-mile radius of Tokyo.
 Transports loaded with thousands of Sixth Army veterans from the Philippines and other Pacific cam paigns already were in Nagasaki harbor awaiting the signal to land. Gen. Walter Kreuger, commander of the Sixth, will lead his men ashore.
 Advance parties already were in Kyushu. Elements of the Second and Fifth Marine Divisions, com- prising the Fifth Amphibious Corps, occupied the Nagasaki airfield pre- paratory to the arrival of Kreuger.

Seq Power
 Beat Jops Says Nimitz

Pearl Harbor, Sept. 22.-(UP)- Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz reiterated his belief today that sea power won the war against Japan. He said future use of the atomic bomb depends upon the mainte- nance of strong naval forces.
 Nimitz would not discuss his rec. concentrations concerning future U. s. bases in the Pacific and refused to comment on current political discussions in Washington concern ing the occupation of Japan.
 It was "a well known fact" that the Japanese were interested in peace Hong before" the atomic bomb was dropped and before Russia's en- try into tn war, he said. Nimitz de- clared that the sea blockade of Japan and bombings made possible by the strong U. s. Navy and the capture of advanced air bases brought the war to an end.

 The petition also asks for an ap. proprlatlon of S3,00o for the Board of Education for the purpose Of making c preliminary survey and sketch for c proposed new high school to be erected on the Clark property and also asking for the privilege of applying to the State for funds under one Of the acts passed in the last legislature, to be used In the construction of the proposed new high school.
 Original List
 The Clark property, which has . frontage of over 300 feet on North Main street and extends back to the Prospect street school property and adjoins several pieces of real estate along Prospect street, was purchas- cd by the Town Of Plymouth c year ago at e cost of $2i 800 in & move sponsored by the Terryvilie Lions Club.

 United Press stan CorrespOndent) London, Sept, 22 --tUP- Tn. formed Romanian sources expressed concern today that the United States and Britain may refuse to sign Q peace treaty with Romanla If Russia persists In her support of the QroSa government,
 They said Romanlan communists, chief packers of the droZA regime, recognized the possibility and were prepared to stake their country'S future on Soviet cooperation alone
 Both the United States and Brlt- ain have refused to recognize the government of Premier Petre Gro. za on grounds that it is dominated by communists and is not repreSen- tatlve of the Romanian people aS Q whole.

 American Balkan experts said Bulgarian communists had envis- aged Q similar arrangement for the Soviet supported 0eorgiev govern. ment in Sofia and were aStonished when Moscow yielded last night to Anglo o-AineTiean demands for 6 postponement in Bulgarian cleo. tionS.
 These experts believed Russia would be willing to make certain concessions to meet Anglo.Anler- can objections to the Bulgarian government but would stand pat on the present Romanian regime.
 They based this on the asSump. ton that Bulgaria was not as firm ly within the Soviet orbit as Ro- mania.

Jap Prince
 Seeks Delay On Elections

Tokyo, Sept. 22- (UP) - Prince Fumimaro Konoye frankly declared today that he felt the Japanese people were not ready for any jan- uary elections because of their lack Of political understanding,
 Konoye, minister without portfolio in the new Japanese cabinet and one of the closest men In all Japan to the Emperor, told Q small group of American correspondents that he personally did not think Hirohito would abdicate.
 Combined Party
 Even while he spoke. noted pre- war social worker Toyohiko Kagava met with Japanese proletariAn leaders to plan the organization of combined party which will work for Japan'S immediate switch to democracy.
 Prlnceton- n-educated Kagava and his co-workers pledged themselves to break loose from the past in' ertia caused by government oppres. sion and to seek e wider member. ship throughout Japan with their first mass meeting to be held Oct. l7 in Tokyo.
 Meanwhile Konoye explained that Japan's cahinet-which he called the interim governments" - was still groping for solutions to the nations problems because they aren't certain just what steps Gen, Douglas MacArthur will let them take, and because of the complex nature Of the situation which they face.
 No Time
 Konoye ignoring the Kagawa group, stated that he felt January elections would not give the nation time to build up the necessary poli- tical parties. He pointed out that such parties were vital for the sup port of new political figures if Japan's government was going to take on a new complexion.
 Konoye said MacArthur had in- dicated his desire for woman suf- frage in Japan, but that the Jap aese government had received no formal instructions in the matter and felt that Japanese women, due to a lack of political understanding. were as yet unready for the ballot.
 Tn regard to the Emperor, Konoye pointed out that under Japan's present constitution there was no method provided for Hirohito to abdicate, even if he wished to do so.
 Under the constitution as 1t now stands the Emperor could give up his duties only because of illness. If sclih & situation occurred, 8 re- gency would be formed to act for Hirohito, and would continue to function as long as he lived.
 Any change in the constitution would require a two-thirds vote in the Diet.
