The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = D. mt ocrat c members of the House Ways and Means Committee last week saw President Truman, for the first time since he became President, hopping mad at Congress. They received a call Wednesday from Chairman "Muley Bob' Doughton asking all Democrats to be at the White House at 10 the next morn ing. Having just agreed to shelve the Unemployment Compensation Bill, they had pretty clear idea of what was coming.
 Little time was wasted in pleas antries. The President had only a curt nod or Hello for the mem bers as they came in, then plunged at once into his subject. The un- employment compensation features provided in his message must be enacted, he said, before he could feel that Congress has done the job the people expect of it. For over 45 minutes the President sat and discussed the bill with the Congressmen, and not a single smile cracked his face.
 Closest he came to a smile was when he said:
 President Roosevelt always used to rely upon the House to help him out against the Senate. I thought I could rely upon the

Breakdown of Big 5 Con- ference Reverfs Again
 on Potsdam Paef

LONDON, Oct. 3-U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and So- yiet Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav M. Molotov brought into the open today a disagreement among the major powers whether Big Three understanding existed for blanket participation by all five principal powers in European peace settle mentS.
 Molotov, outlining to press con- ference the Soviet stand on the 22-day conference which broke down last night in debate over procedure, disclaimed any knowl- edge of an agreement for blanket participation of all five powers.
 Earlier, Byrnes had said President Truman and Prime Minister Att lee left the Potsdam Conference with the understanding that France and China would be permitted a full share in discussions of treaties, but that Marshal Stalin apparently understood the two nations would be barred from such discussions.
 No Agreements
 Byrnes announced that the depu- ties of the council would continue work here on some aspects of the conference which ended without agreement on any major issue.
 Molotov admitted the existence of disputes within the council but ex- pressed hope for future collabora- tion to insure world peace.
 With the breakdown of the con- ference diplomatic sources here predicted that a new meeting of Premier Stalin, President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee would be necessary, but French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault asserted that any meeting of the Big Three Powers alone would be disagree able to France"
 Wants Equal Voice
 Bidault, also addressing press conference, made It clear france was determined to have an equal voice with Britain, Russia and the United States in drawing up the European peace.
 Mclotov was asked about the re- ported agreement early in the council conference which would
  have permitted all the foreign min- isters to take part in the peace discussion.
 You show it to me-" he re- torted. Could there be such an agreement without signatures?"
 Separate Protocols Advocated
 Molotov said he suggested that separate protocols be signed. Russia and Great Britain would sign for peace with Finland; the same states plus the United States would

JAp5 GIVEN SHARP JOLT ABOUT KOREA
Told to Keep Hands Off on Government Subserv-
 ient6roups Watched

TOKYO, Oct. 3-Gen. MacAr- thur today restricted Japanese overseas financial and business communications to messages he has approved, and warned the Nip ponese Government to keep it's hands off Korea-while threats of famine brought fresh troubles to the Japanese Cabinet.
 (Russia, meanwhile, has an- nounced to the United States it's determination to take hand in control of Japan, the Moscow radio reportedD
 American officials today reported they were watching strictly the &C., tivities of more than 100 former secret patriotic societies of Japan and "all other subversive" groups. Authorities are particularly vigi- lant, they said, against any evil dence that these groups might be going underground to continue the rightest activities which were in- strumental in whipping Japan into imperialism.
 Warning To Nips
 The warning to Nippon to keep it's hands completely off Korean Government affairs followed pur- ported promotions" of Japanese officials or civil functionaries sery- ing in southern Korea. All such purported promotions are ineffec- tive" Allied headquarters asserted, adding that it's own military gov ernnent is the sole authority in Korea.
 The first report of a rice riot in northern Japan gave further warning today of the approach of inevitable famine-and possible dis orders-this winter.

KALISPELL WINS JUNIOR HIGH
TOURNAMENT AT EUREKA

In game provided with many
thrills, the Kalispell Juniors edged
out the Whitefish team by the mar
row margin of % to 20 in the
championship game. The winners
gained an early lead but Coach
Hileman's bunch came back strong
the second half and with less than
a minute to play cut the difference
to one basket. The other game of
the evening was a seesaW affair
with Eureka winning from Libby
by the score of I'll to 49, The home
team was ahead at the half with
a 8 to 6 score but failed to tally
in the third quarter while Libby
stretched their score to Is. The sif-
uation was reversed the fourth quar-
ter with Eureka making IL points
while holding their opponents
scoreless.
The first game of the afternoon
was an upset with the Whitefish
boys merging ahead in the last few
minutes Of play after Eureka had
maintained the lead until the fourth
quarter. The score was % to 10
and gave Whitefish the opportunity
to meet Kalispell in the champion
ship game. In the second game Of
the afternoon Kalispell had fairly
easy time in winning from Libby
by the score of 20 to 10. Libby
seemed unable to penetrate the
Flathead boys defense while Pet
tinato and Hafferman of Kalispell
hit the basket regularly. A fine
brand of craftsmanship was dis
played by all the teams and the ex-
perience of playing in tournament
will undoubtedly be beneficial TO
these future high school players.
The crowd was entertained be-
tween halves of the evening games
with flag drill by the little folks
of the first grade under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Guernsey and by three
twirlers Of the Libby Pep Club.
