Philippine Congress Aid
To Japs Hit by Truman

President Truman today assailed
members of the Philippine Congress
who, he said, had collaborated with
the Japs. In a letter to President
Osmena of the Philippines ANNOUNCE
ing that he had signed legislation
calling for reduction of the required
gold coverage of Philippine currency,
the President said:
Il have for some time delayed nv
approval of House Bill No. 176 Of
the First Philippine Congress, which
provides reduction of the required
gold coverage of Philippine currency.
This delay has been due to the fact
there have been persistent charges
that a sizeable fraction of members
of the Philippine Congress had been
guilty of collaboration with the
enemy, and / have not wanted my
approval of the act to be distorted
into approval of collaboration.
II am informed, however, that the
provisions of House Bill No. 176 are
necessary to the effective conduct
of the Philippine government and I
accordingly have approved the act.
At the same time, I should like to
emphasize that my signature is in no
sense an approval of the presence in
the Philippine Congress of any per-
son who has given aid to the enemy
| or his political policies"

Women Writers See
White House Snub

Four hundred women newspaper
correspondents were giving Mrs.
Truman's press secretary bad time
today on the ground they had been
"scorned," when invitations were
issued to q White House buffet sup
per tomorrow night.
The White House selected 100

clubs and the Congressional press
gallery membership, Mrs. James
Helm, social secretary, said.
But some of the hundreds who
were not invited did not agree with
the White House selection. They
have flooded Mrs. Helm with calls,
claiming their professional standing
is being questioned by their editors
because they were not invited.
Mrs. Helm explained today that
the White House had not intended
to hurt any ones feelings or ques-
tion their standing. Mrs. Truman

tive group-not all" of the women

Russia Renews
Fight for Veto
0nJapContro|
Byrnes Declares U. S.
Is Firmly Opposed
To Unonimity Rule
BY GARRETT d. HORNER.

Russia has renewed her de-
mands for a veto power in the
administration of Japan, Secre-
tary OF State Byrnes disclosed at
. news conference today.
He said the Soviet government
which he believed last month had
dropped its insistence on unanimity
rule in a proposed Allied control
council for Japan, had now gone
back to its original position of in
sistlng on such an organization.
This Is in conflict with firm
American stand, Mr.. Byrnes made
clear, that the establishment of an
Allied council in Tokyo must be on
such a basis that United States
policies will prevail if there should
be disagreement in the council.
The dispute over powers of the
proposed control council is keeping
Russia out of the Far Eastern Ad-
visory Commission, which, with 10
Allied nations participating, is going
ahead here in its task of formulat-
ing long-range policy recommends
tions regarding Japan.
Mr.. Byrnes told his news confer
erce he had received a reply from
Soviet Foreign Commissar v. M
Molotov to a recent communication
transmitted by American Ambassa-
dor w. Averell Hartman, but that
no agreement had been reached on
the proposals for establishing a mill
tary council in Tokyo or on enlarg-
ing the authority of the Advisory
Commission here. He added there
would be further discussions.
Mr.. Byrnes explained that the
Issue now is the same as when the
Soviet government first suggested
that our-power-Russian, Amer
ican, British and Chinese control
council be established in Tokyo.
He pointed out that under the
unanimity rule any one of the pow
ers represented on the council could
block execution of policy in Japan
by the exercise of its veto power.
This rule prevails in the control
council for Germany, and exercise
of the veto by one or another power
has prevented many things being
done which were anticipated by the
Potsdam agreement, Mr.. Byrnes de-
clared.
He said the United States was in
favor of establishing an Allied coun-
Gil in Tokyo as long as it was on a
basis that would not tie the hands
of Gen. Macarthur as supreme Al
lied commander in executing the
surrender terms and policy forrnu-
lated by the Advisory Commission
here.
Another question under discus
sion, Mr.. Byrnes said, is the number
of nations to be represented on the
proposed council in Tokyo, indicat-
ing that more than the Big Four
originally suggested might be in
cluded.

Eisenhower for
F acts on UNRRA
Defers Fund Action
Unit! General Con
Tell Of Conditions
BY the Associated Press.

os tuS Aseocldted FreSS.
The House Foreign Affairs
Committee decided today to
seek first-hand information on
European conditions from Gen.
Eisenhower before acting on
further funds for UNRRA.
Chairman Bloom interrupted
sharp questioning of Assistant Sec
retary of State Clayton by several
Republican members of the COM
mittee to say that perhaps Gen.
Eisenhower, now In Washington,
could provide some of the answers.
Mr.. Bloom said an invitation had
gone to the general to testify at
his convenience.
Due on Hill Tomorrow.
Gen. Eisenhower will be on Capt.
tol Hill tomorrow to appear before
the Military Affairs Committee in
behalf of legislation for peacetime
military training.
Mr.. Blooms announcement fol.
lowed a protest by Representative
Chiperfield, Republican, of Illinois
that UNRRA had exceeded au-
thority granted it by Congress"
Mr.. Chiperfeld criticized UNRRA
for going ahead with a $4,000, 600
assistance program in Italy, for
mer enemy nation. and for PLAN
ming to spend $3.50, ,000, 900 in two
Soviet Union republics, White Rus
sia and the Ukraine.
He said his criticism was based
mot on the merits of whether or not
this aid should be granted" but ION
the assuming of new obligations by
UNRRA without consent Of Con-
gress."
Secret Letter Reported.
Mr.. Chiperfield also reported the
existence of "a confidential letter"
in which he said Russia refused to
invite" UNRRA to aid in care Of
displaced persons in the occupied
zone Of Germany.
UNRRA's actions were defended
by its director general, Herbert H.
Lehman, Undersecretary of State
Dean Acheson, Assistant Secretary
Clayton, Committee Chairman
| 1AOSAAA anu ob4Ilk6.
Mr.. Acheson told the committee
mo new obligations" were assumed
by the agency. He said the program
now under way in Italy represented
"a use of funds already available"
Mr.. Clayton urged "the promptest
possible action" on President Tru-
mans request that an additional
| 81 $50 900, 900 be voted to UNRRA.
Called Best Relief Plan.
/ Mr.. Clayton said he believes
UNRRA represents "the proper
method of furnishing relief and re-
habilitation assistance" and de-
Tended the organization against
complaints that it has been cumber-
some and ineffective.
He conceded, however, that there
are difficulties and weaknesses in
the UNRRA administration and
pledged that he would do "all in
my power as this Governments
representative on the council to
help overcome or correct them"
Any relief method other than
UNRRA, he said, is "unthinkable
and impractical"
