Veterans Loan Machinery Set

The necessary machinery for processing applications by veter- ans of World War II for busin- ess loans has been set up in the Seattle Loan Agency of the Re- construction Finance Corpora- tion, Richard M. Price, manager, announced today.
 It has been annouced from Washington, D. c. that the REC will recommeed to the appropri- ate office of the Administrator of Veterans Affairs whether that office should approve or disap- prove such applications. Loans applied for may be used in purchasing any business, sup plles, equipment, machinery or tools to be used by the veteran in pursuing gainful occupation.
 The veteran should first con- tact his local banker and if un- able to obtain a loan from him should then apply to the nearest REC loan agency.
 Banks desiring to assist vet erans in this program may obtain the necessary regulations and loan application blanks from the local regional office of the Veter- ans Administration, MT. Price said.
 The veteran must be found qualified to engage in the type of business for which he seeks a loan, the property must be reas- onably priced and the venture likely to succeed.
 Loans are not provided to run businesses. The government may guarantee repayment of such loans to the extent of 50 per cent, but not in an amount ex- ceeding $2000 as It's maximum guaranty.
 Veterans are well advised to be on guard against fraudulent or absurd propositions and care 1 full of exploiters. With the aid of the banker, who is schooled in such matters. veterans should investigate very carefully all propositions presented to them. There are many pitfalls, difficult ties and hard work in operating one's own business, MT. Price said.

 He denied British agents stirred up the Syrians and Lebanese against France. The British inter- vened against their will because Syria believed she must either sur- render to force or call in help from her Arab neighbors, he said.
 A Beyrouth dispatch quoted reli- able sources as saying that Egypt, Iraq and Transjordan were ready at one time to go to the aid of the Levantine states. It said the poten- tial lineup would have pitted the Arab states against the French in in full scale war.
 Iraq concentrated troops on the Syrian border, the dispatch said, and Egypt offered arms and off, cers. The Lebanese and Syrian lega- tions in Cairo had hundreds of young men volunteering for action against France. Bagdad was re- ported ablaze with excitement" t."

able basis. We did make certain recommendations to correct imprac- tical or inequitabie provisions. None of these facts, however, make the proposed law an administration measure, except that we have been willing to support it in contrast to original sponsors"
 Serious Misstatement In criticizing the bills critics the mayor accuses MT. Upson of what he terms is serious misstatement" in the latter's declarat ton that un- der the terms of the bill there will be no reserves built up
 MT. Upson, in letter to the press, last week, had stated Gin urging the bills veto by the governor):
 My examination of this bill leads me to the conclusion that this bill wholly fails to either require or permit the city to create an ade- quate reserve to meet pension obli- gations that may from time to time accrue.
 "As I read the bill the only re- serve that will in fact come into existence for many years is the reserve created by employees con- tributions. In other words, the ef- feet of the act is to take money away from city employees and put it in a reserve when no similar con- tribution is expected of the city.
 This means, in effect, that as time goes on, the employees con- tributions will gradually be built up. They will not be matched up by any corresponding contribution by the city, and the city's contribu- tion toward pension payments will be as it has been in the past, in the form of an annual appropria- tion."
 In reply today the Mayor states
 MT. Upson makes a serious mis- statement of fact when he state, that there will be no reserves under the proposed law. At the present time employees contribute about $16,0O0 and the city contributes about $l80,000. Under the changes which have been suggested the em-
  ployes would pay about s1OO,0OO The City would pay either what &C., tuaries call current service cost or df 1t should be higher actual cash expenditure. As matter of fact the latter would not be higher and the City would pay about $500 ,OOC into the fund next year. This means that total amounts paid in would be about $400,0O0 while tota amounts paid out would be only $200 900. AS a result, the funo would have s200,0o0 on hand aftel its first year of operation. MT. Up- son may not call this a reserve, but we will have to admit that 1t is 6 lot of money.
 The unfortunate fact seems to be that the only kind of bill which would either severely penalize city employees or slug the taxpayer with a bill ranging to over million dol lars a year"

of the Asiatic coast from Singapore to Shanghai
 Late Sunday afternoon 8 fourth landing was made on the east side of Labaun island, opposite the or lginal beachhead. Labaun island is In the mouth of Brunei Bay. and commands the entrance to the sweep of water leading to the port and city of Brunei, where the Japanese had 8 naval base.
 Brunei is a small Sultanate, be- tween British North Borneo and Sarawak. It was seized by the Jap anese in January, 1922. The city Of Brunei had pre-war population of 30,l35, of whom only 60 were Eu- ropeans.
 It. Gen. Leslie Morsehead com- manded the Australian forces in the operation, while Rear Adm. Forrest 8. Royal, commander of the U. $. M. Seventh fleet, commanded the amphibious forces. The covering force was led by Rear Adm. Ralph s. Riggs and the bombardment d. rected by Rear Adm. Russell $. Berkey-both Americans.
 The Tokyo reports of the landing said that naval Armada, including battleships. cruisers, destroyers, and smaller ships steamed into the Brunei Bay area Thursday, and that on Friday landing attempt was obvious
 Today's conmunique here re- ported that the main weight of a 2l3-ton raid by heavy, medium, ana fighter bomberes was thrown against supply and defense areas around Brunei Bay,
 The communique also reported Allied light naval units patrolled the northeast coast of oBrneo and sank three sailing vessels oil San dakan. :,
 The landing on Borneo marked the second step in the long march back through the oil and rubber- rich lands in the British and Dutch colonies grabbed by the Japanese in their lightning war in December, 194l, and early in 1922. Australian and Dutch troops already had seized the oil island of Tarakan, but that was a minor operation compared with what a campaign on Borneo itself would be.
 The fighting in the Philippines followed the pattemn of the past few days with the 37th division marching ahead unchecked Tn Northern Luzon and the going on Mindanao being good deal tougher.
 The 37th gained nine more miles in its drive along the Cagayan Val ley, to reach a point five miles be- yond the road junction of Bagabag. By taking Bagabag, the 37th cut of Japanese forces in the noun tains to the west from the upper reaches of the Cagayan valley. Their only escape was through torturous trails in the rugged Cordillera mountains.
 On Mindanaio the 34th division captured Wangan and Mandog in tho Davao area but resistance con- tinued stiff.
 Japanese casualties last week numbered 5,911 dead and 725 prison CTS, to make the totals for the cam petgn 392,116 American losses for the week were l72 killed, four miss ing, and 855 wounded.

 The travellers said the proposal for world conference on freedom of news was advanced by Greek and Australian editors.
 During their stop in Moscow, the Americans visited the Kremlin and the plants of Pravda and Izvestia, Russia's two largest daily news papers.
 Editors Pospelov of Pravda and Ilyichev of Izvestia," their report said, declared in almost identical speeches their system was most rep resentative of the wishes of the people and was free press" be- cause it repreented only the people.
 They insisted American news papers did not always represent the wishes of the people, using the Roosevelt elections and opposition to many Roosevelt policies which had been adopted by the people as examples.
 They also said that many of the critical items about the Soviets in the American press were revealed to be untrue but papers which had carried them prominently never took the trouble to admit the un- truths when revealed"

 Iwo-based Mustangs only yester- day shot down or damaged A en- emy planes in the Tokyo area while escorting Superfortresses on a raid on enemy aircraft plants and other important installations.
 The final toll showed 26 enemy aircraft shot down, seven others probably destroyed and nine dam aged without the loss of a single American plane.
 A communique announced that the escorted B-29s scored good re- suits in their attack on the Hitachi Aircraft Company plant at Chia, 20 miles southeast of Tokyo; the Ja- pan Aircraft Company Tomioka plant, five miles south of Yoko- hama and an Army air depot 20 miles west of Tokyo.
 Unescorted Superfortresses simul- taneously attacked the Hitacho En- gineering Works at Gukagama, 115 miles northeast of Tokyo, and the Kasimagaura seaplane base on Kas- imaga lake, 35 miles northeast of Tokyo. One B-29 was lost in the raids.
 Thunderbolts of the 318th Army Fighter Group on Okinawa added to the toll of enemy aircraft by shoting down r over Kyushu, the southernmost of the Japanese home islands.

Navy suffered such losses in . sin- gle campaign.
 In the 83 days of action, 25 Am erican vessels have been sunk, tn- cluding four destroyers, two am- munition ships and assorted land ing craft and minesweepers and at least 53 others damaged.
 Marines of the first division paced the latest advances on Oki- nawa with the capture of three major hill outposts to Kunishi ridge, western anchor of the Jap anese defense line across the south- ern tip of the island.
 Other units of the first division on the west coast itself were stalled temporarily in the southern limits of Itoman by fierce enemy machine gun and mortar fire.
 The marines had swept through Itoman, former fishing village totalling 30 acres in area, under a flaming 75-millimeter mortar bar rage yesterday.
 The 96th Division reached Yaeju- Dalme escarpment on a broad front and began fighting up its cave pocked sides with flamethrowers, bayonets, grenades and tommy guns.
 Units of the 96th captured Yunu- gusuku and Tomui, both almost in the shadow of the escarpment, seized a low hill 500 yards south of Yunugusuku and reached the outskirts of Yuza in advances of up to 1000 yards against heavy enemy resistance.
 The third battalion of 17th reg iment under 1st It. William E.. Brown of Westboro, Mass. gained the nose of Yaeju-Dake escarpment Saturday night.

Patton Sees
 Another Wor
By VIRGINIA MAC PHERsON

Hollywood, June II U.P) = General George Patton, Jr., and Lieutenant General Jimmy Doolittle began their military leaves today after basking for two days in the glare of all the Kleig lights Holly wood could muster.
 Patton went home to San Marine and Doolittle stayed in Los Angeles. Both planned to get the first rest they had had since their arrival here Saturday.
 Were just a coupla lucky old buns, Patton said, at the end of wild two-day homecoming cele- bration. The men deserve all this honor"
 Hollywood had outdone itself to fete the Third Army commander and the Eighth Air Force leader during their recess between wars"
 The celebration was climaxed with jubilee Saturday night when nearly 105 900 persons jammed into the Los Angeles Coliseum Stadium to watch Hollywood's celebrities entertain the heroes.
 Patton burst into tears as he tried to encourage families with wounded sons.
 There's less risk in going to war today than there is in getting into slippery bathtub," he said.
 But, it's not fun to tell men you love to go out and dies he shouted. But by God they did it."
 Patton also spoke to 200 Sunday school children at his Episcopal church in San Gabriel yesterday.
 You kids are the soldiers, sailors, and nurses of the next war;" he told them. And there1l be another war because there have always been wars."
 Doolittle, who lead the first air raid on Tokyo, said little during the festivities. When he spoke to the crowds that gathered wherever he went he told them simply how lucky he was to get home-and how good general was Patton.

 a half dozen major open issues for committees to decide. Most of these were expected to be resolved this week. Among the remaining major issues were:
 Secretary generalship. A com- mittee approved his nomination by a majority of the security council but the big five wants veto right over nomination. The Steering committee has sent this issue back to committee for reconsideration.
 2.-Deputy secretaries general. A committee omitted all mention of deputies in the draft charter. The big five want specific provision for five of them. This matter also has been referred back to committee by the steering committee.
 3.-Expulsion. A committee elim- mated all reference to expulsion and the big powers. particularly Russia, want it reinstated as it was in the Dumbarton Oaks draft. It too has been referred back to the committee for reconsideration.
 4.-Security council reports to the assembly. A committee wrote in a provision which would allow the assembly to approve, disapprove or make recommendations on reports received from the council. The big powers don't like this and the mat ter has been referred back for new consideration.
 5-Domestic jurisdiction. Aus tralia wants written into this pro- vision words specifying that the only exception on domestic inter- ference will be in thescaSe of en- forcement action by the council.
 6.-The amending process. This involves two unfinished questions a time limit on the calling of a constitutional convention to revise the charter and the big five veto over amendments coming out of such a convention. A subcommittee already has approved a provision which would make it mandatory to call constitutional convention within five to ten years after the charter comes into force. The big five want no specific time limit and insist on a veto over all amend ments.
 But the emphasis of course. still was on the veto issue. This became a matter for committee considera- tion Saturday night after it re- ceived the big lives interpretation of the Yalta voting formula. The interpretation guarantees freedom of discussion of disputes in the security council but still makes the veto applicable to virtually every action or decision Of the council.

Bridges Case Before Court
(Continued from Page D


 overthrow by force and violence of the government of the United States"
 On February 8, 1943, Federal Judge Martin I. Walsh, in Sacra- mento, Calf, denied 8 habeas corpus petition sought by Bridges to prevent his deportation. On Sep tember 27 of that year a circuit court of appeals refused to re-hear the case. Bridges thereupon appeal ed to the supreme court. Meantime he is free on 5000 bail.
 Philip Murray, President of the Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions, has announced Biddle's ruling on Bridges. Members of the Con- munist Party or Communist Poli- tical Association bitterly protested Biddle's charge that they sought revolution in the United States. The Communist Political Asso- citation, which succeeded the Com- munist party in May, 1914, appealed to the supreme court to be permit ted to intervene in the case. Con- siderably more is at stake than Bridges fate. If the court finds that he was Communist and should be deported there will exist the highest possible legal precedent for holding that adherance to Con- munism is disloyal to the United States, at least in the case of an alien.
 American citizens who profess Communism would not be subject | to deportation. But their political activities presumbaly would be sub stantHlly affected under the cloud of an accusation made by Riddle and underwrittan by the supreme court.

Twister Damage Beyond Million

Jamestown, N. Y, June II - (U. P) A twister which swept through here yesterday injured eight persons and caused $1 500, 900 damage, officials estimated today.
 The twister hit Jamestown from the west during an electrical storm and within minute travelled through the downtown section, damaging or destroying about 75 buildings. Utility wires were torn down. plunging over half the city in darkness and interrupting com- munications.

the political courage 10 compete the job."
 Accusing the COP critics of the bill of attempting to create confus- ing and increase dissatisfaction among all pensioners so concerned the Mayor declares:
 Tn the closing hours of the late General Assembly, MT. Summa at tempted to kill the pension bill which had been presented by trying to tack on a crippling referendum amendment. Now MT. Upson comes forward with pious and studious- ly lofty statement attempting to justify his partners action. The legislative activity and the state ment are clearly connected and their purpose is pathetically ob- vious. It is another example in ac- ton of the philosophy of this group that temporary advantage should be seized regardless of the long time welfare of our city. Their ac- tivities have been dictated by the belief that the passage of any leg ilsla tion affecting retirement al- lowances would be unpopular with individual groups of city employees and their strategy has been to act in such a way as to increase this dissatisfaction and turn it against the Democratic administration.
 Destructive Suggestion
 MT. Upson advocates that the present bill, which has passed both houses of the Assembly, be killed by the Governor. This is purely destructive suggestion. There may be some differences of opinion about the present bill. I do not agree with it. myself, in all partl- culars, but it clearly is a great ad- vance over the present chaotic mass of special acts. Apparently, then MT. Upson has been moved, not bJ & wish to improve matters, but oS a desire to create confusion"
 Tn a further attempt to capital ize on potential dissatisfaction. MT Upson sought clumsily to place the responsibility for the pension leg islation upon the present admins tration. This, of course, is ridlcu- lous since the present provisions had their origin in the commission to which I have referred. The fact that we did not oppose many of the changes which the commission had made does not mean that we initi- ated the inquiry or would have writ ten the bill in the same way had the job been given to us. We en- dorsed the spirit of the pension commission report since its mem- bers had worked long and hard tc produce a statute which would place our system upon a sound and equit-
