RUSSIA MAKES REQUEST, BIG UNRRA
Asks for Seven Hundred Million Dollars of
 Agency sFunds

WASHINGTON, July 26-Russia's $ request for S700,000,000 worth of UNRRA aid met a mixed reception in Congress today.
 Simultaneously, but without ref erence to the Russian appeal, an UNRRA official said the agencys funds are running low and that nations participating in it's reliel and rehabilitation operations might be asked to increase their contri- buttons. These now are fixed at one per cent of their national in- come for one year.
 The Soviet Governments initial application for help was disclosed by Roy F. Hendrickson, UNRRA Director. in response to a news conference question yesterday. He said the request would be screened, as are those from other nations, to determine Russia's ability to import goods and pay for them.
 Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee available to reporters declined to comment, but Senator Taft tR-Ohio) said.
 T am very much afraid they won't get that much. I don't think UNRRA is going to operate on such large scale.
 Senator Tunnel tD-Del) com mented. Of course, UNRRA is an international organization n d knows the situation better than we do. The Russians were a terrific help in the war and l hope they get their proportion.

Lenient Altitude About This Business of Peace
 Reported Asked by Japan
By James D. White Associated Press Correspondent

SAN FFIANClSCO, July Zo-odPoiii, backed against the ropes in fight she started some time back, today spoke of quitting the war as a definite possibility.
 This is the central fact which observers are able to pick out of the Tokyo radios startling broad cast today urging the United States to take a more lenient attitude about this business of peace.
 The appeal was carefully hedged about with qualifications which fitted it neatly into Tokyo's usual propaganda line. Nevertheless, it gave the impression that Japan would be definitely interested in peace if only the unconditional sur render formula could be softened.
 Japan Is Ripped
 The broadcast, heard by the Federal Communications Commis- sion, came on the heels of the ulCSJ QlodoDlOuo bWO WCCho eAAS empire has undergone.
 Mammoth Superfort raids, para lyzing land-based aerial strikes from Okinawa, and the great fleet bombardments and carrier attacks since July 10 have ripped the empire from stem to stern and further mangled the Japanese war machine in China and elsewhere.
 So much so that earlier today Tokyo radio agreed with Admiral Halsey' that American sea and air power indeed had opened the pre- invasion phase of warfare against the Japanese homeland.
 Peace Feelers
 The Japanese peace feeler said there really are no problems be- tween liberal America" and Japan, and claimed that liberal America has never given occasion for Japanese militarists to rise, but America now talks of uncon- ditional surrender"
 The implication IS that America is not now Liberal" and that the unconditional surrender formula is an outgrowth of the lack of what the Japanese consider nberality. nard Retribution
 Tn short, they (American offi- cials) intend to mete out such a hard retribution that the Japanese people are more determined than ever to unite and resist as united mass of 10O,0OO,OO0 souls and will so continue as long as American minds remain dictatorial and op- pressive," declared the Japanese commentator.
 Should America show any sin cerity of putting into practice what she breaches, as for instance in the Atlantic Charter. excepting its punitive clause, the Japanese na- 1 ton, in fact the Japanese military would automatically, if not will lingly Several words missing follow in the stopping of the con flict and then and then only will sabers cease to rattle both in the East and in the Vest" he con- tinued.

 He made it clear that this would be one of his chief goals at the Big Three" conference. Since ar irving at Potsdam, reports indicate that Truman has followed this up by trying to bring Russia into the war and secure larger British par ticipation against Japan. If he
