UNRRA Council Votes
Full Aid for Italy
AS Liberated Area
Ey the Associated Press.


LONDON, Aug. 22.-The UNRRA
Council voted, 29-1, today to classify
Italy as a liberated area for full
benefits of the relief and rehabilita-
ton program. YugoslaWa objected
A member of the secretariat said
Russia voted affirmatively, as she
did yesterday in committee. There
were several abstainers, but no exact
records were kept.
The UNRRA program in Italy
would replace that now carried out
by military authorities which, the
delegates were told, will cease at the
end of August.
While the resolution did not
specifically refer to Italy as a
liberated area" speeches indicated
the intention was to give her relief
on the same scale as Allied countries
which we're under Axis domination
Nikola Petrovic, Yugoslav delegate,
said In opposing the plan that the
present Italian government has not
broken with the past
Petrovic said Italy had not sent
to Yugoslavia any of the men wanted
there on war crimes charges, had not
returned treasure taken from Yugo-
slavia and had not paid reparations.
Will Clayton, chief American dele
gate, told the Council: "UNRRA has
nothing to do with reparations. 1t is
to deal with relief"

shakeup in top State Department
positions within the last year was
indicated today as 33-year-old Col.
Frank Mccarthy assumed his du-
ties as Assistant Secretary of State
in charge of departmental and for
eign service administration.
Appointment of Col. Mccarthy,
who has served as secretary of the
War Departments general staff
since January Is, 1914, left two as
sistant Secretary of State posts to
be filled if the present structural
organization of the State Depart
ment is maintained.
President Truman late yesterday
named Col. Mccarthy, the youngest
man to hold top State Department
job in recent years. to succeed Brig
Gen. Julius c. Holmes, who re-
signed last week.
Subject to Senate Approval.
Although he took Office immedi-
ately as a recess appointment, Col
McCarthy's nomination will be sub
ject to confirmation by the Senate
when Congress returns next month.
Remaining to be appointed are
successors to Dean Acheson, who
recently was promoted to Undersec-
retary from the post of Assistant
Secretary in charge of liaison with
Congress, and to Archibald Mac
Leish, who resigned last week as
Assistant Secretary in charge of cul-
tural relations.
However, Secretary Byrnes asked
the Budget Bureau to survey the
departments organization structure
when he took Office nearly two
months ago and it was considered
possible that this might lead to
of the assistant secre-
taryship previously held by Mr.
Acheson.

|Bong's 5 Death Leaves
McCampbeII as Ace
Among Fighter Pilots
BY FRED HAMPSON,
Associated Press War Correspondent.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-The
death of Maj. Richard l. Bong of
Poplar, Wis, the Army's 40-plane
ace, during a test flight in Burbank,
Calf, recently leaves the Navy with
the highest scoring ace to survive
the war.
He is Comdr. David McCampbell
35-year -old West Palm Beach (Fla.)
carrier pilot who shot down "a Jap
anese plapes. This gives him a sub
stantial lead over any other Amer
ican fighter pilot to survive either
the European or Pacific war.
At least two Army pilots ran up
higher scsores than Comdr. Nc
Campbell, but did not survive the
war. Maj. Bong with 40 was two
ahead of Maj. Thomas B. MCGUIRE,
another Army ace who shot down
38 Japanese before he was killed
In combat last January 7.
Gabreski Leads European Aces.
1t. Col. Francis s. Gabreski Oil
City. Pa, the 9th Air Forces lead
ing ace, had % and is believed to be
the highest American ace in the
European war although 1t. Col. Don
Gentle was credited with 30. How
ever, seven of Col. Gentile's were
destroyed on the ground. If planes
destroyed on the ground were count
ed, the Pacific could boast IS or
20 men with score of around so.
Comdr. McCampbell himself is
credited with "34 up and 20 down" I"
Identity Of the top Army ace to
survive the Pacific war is cloudy.
The highest know of is 1t. Col
Gerald johnson of Eugene, Greg
The last time I saw him on Clark
Field, Luzon, he had "a planes. He
got his twenty-fourth over Hong
Kong sometime in May. At that
time. another high-scoring P-3s
pilot, 1t. Col. Charles A. Mcdonald
Of st. Petersburg. Fla, also was in
the 20s. johnson thought that Nc
Donald had 26 but he wasn't sure.
Foss Top Man in Marines.
The highest scoring Marine to
survive the war is Maj Joseph e.
Foss, the brawny Dakota boy, who
flew to fame at Guadalcanal-down-
ing rs Japs-and never again got
into an area where the Japs had
any planes. Maj. Foss contracted
malaria during his second Pacific
assignment and came home about a
year ago.
The Marines had another 26-plane
man, but he is listed as missing
Maj. Gregory Boyington of Okano-
gan, Wash. Still another lost Marine
LIST 1t. Robert Hansen, Newton
vile. Mass.-shot down Is Japs be-
fore he was killed.
Comdr. McCampbell was we'll
ahead of his nearest Navy COM
petitors. 1t. Eugene A. Valencia of
Alameda, Calf, was second with %.
1t. Alex Vraciu, East Chicago, Ind. .,
had 10.
1t. Col. Jay T. Robbins of Coolidge,
Tex, another high-scoring Army
ace, finished the war with q.
McCampbell Had Big Day.
That Comdr. McCampbell should
finish the war as the top living ace
is unusual in that carrier pilots
seldom kept pace with the land
based fighters, as 1t usually is too
long between flights. His tremen-
dous score was largely the result of
big day-several kills on individual
missions. He downed nine Japs in
one strike over the Philippines last
