ATOMIC ENERGY SECRETS TO BE
 KEPT GUARDED

WASHINGTON, Dec 29 - Presi- dent Truman was reported today to be backing an even more cautious, step-by-step disclosure of atomic energy secrets than first impress sions of the Moscow Big Three" communique had indicated
 This interpretation of plans to form an international atomic con- trol commission came from persons who talked with MT. Truman after his return from a Christmas holi- day in Missouri.
 They declared it is MT Truman'S view that the United States should always be sure there will be no misuse of small secret before divulging a more important one.
 They said conversations both at the White House and the State Department indicated it will be American policy to test out pro- posed inspection methods before telling any nation except Britain and Canada all of the know-how of the atomic bomb.
 Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, Chairman of the Republican Sen atorial Conference, gave some in- dication how the wind is blowing after a conference with MT. Tru- man at the White House yester- day.
 rVandenberg said in a statement he was advised by the State De- parsment that full security re- quirements" will be met in the proposed international commissions dealings with atomic energy.

Re(onversion Han,pered by
 Labor Strife

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29--John D, Small. while reporting significant reconversion progress, says there can't be full speed ahead until current industrial disputes arc ironed out.
 The chief of the Civilian Produc- ton Administration asserts that when these widespread" labor management differences have been settled "all-out production can be expected rapidly"
 Small made these statements in reporting that even though indus trial output has turned upward fo. the first time since victory in Europe, the heavy demands of both consumers and producers are not being met in all cases"
 In addition to work stoppagcs, continuing scarcity of some ma- terials is holding up the full flow of many consumer products to market, Small said in monthly review of production last night.

JAP WOMEN ORGANIZING
 Q, OWN PARTY
New Signs of Times in in Nippon Area-Wdr
 Profiteers Are Hit

TOKYO, Dec. 29.-These were the newest signs of the time in the change over Japan
 Women, for centuries in the back ground, came out today with poli- tical party of their own. The government completed the draft of measure aimed at lifting one hundred billion yen (more than $6 500 000,000) from those who pro- fitted by the war.
 Men who fought that losing war for Japan were among more than 300 persons arrested during the past 24 hours for petty crimes in Tokyo They complained they robbed sbe- cause they were homeless and des- perate.
 The Welfare Ministry readied in- structions that nationality, religion and social status henceforth will not affect employment, wages or working conditions of workers.
 A fresh insight into American
 justice-first manifest at Yokc- hamas opening war crimes trial when the defendant was given life Imprisonment rather than the death penalty for his atrocities-was pro- vided there today by the war crimes commission. It ordered the Ameri- can prosecutors to cable key witness es in the United States for complete affidavits and to quit introducing incomplete evidence.
 The formally organized "New Japan Women's Party" which in tends to have some members run for office at the forthcoming elec- tion, admittedly was small. But it was start. And the Social Demo- crats have come out for equal rights for women.

 Foreigner, So Now

MADRID, Dec. 2y.-The Spanish government asserted today that Spain would not tolerate "interfer- ence of the foreigner in It's internal affairs"

 Death of Ten

JERUSALEM, Dec. 29-Terrorists responsible for explosions and shootings which resulted in 10 deaths in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv Thursday night were sought by police today among nearly 2,000 persons arrested in the biggest roundup in Palestine's history.
 The suspects, lodged in detention barracks were picked up through out the day yesterday. Every male under 60 years of age, including the entire guest list of the Eden Hotel, was arrested in the Bezalel section of Jerusalem.
 The curfew was lifted in the all-Jewish city of Tel Aviv today until further notice. But reports from the neighboring town of Ramith Gan told of large-scale search by British troops there for persons suspected of participating in the disorders.

CRASH LANDING IS SAFELY MADE,
 DETROIT STREET.
Pilot on 43 Bomber Mis- sions Comes Down at
 Home-What a Life

DETROIT, Dec. 29-Experience gained from 43 bomber missions over Europe-and perhaps little luck-enabled an Army pilot to make a successful emergency land- ing on a much -traveled Detroit street late Friday.
 Like the proverbial postman on his day off, It. Kenneth E. Parks, 2l, and his passenger, Marine Sgt. Robert N. Clark, 20, both of De- troit, were taking a short air trip around the city when the engine in their small rented monoplane stalled at 1000 feet.
 T looked around for some place to land and I could see a broad street with an open space in the traffic not for away Parks re- lated. T brought it down, heading south"
 Although traffic light had just halted most automobiles a block away, one motorist gulped as he saw the craft coming in for land ing and speeded his car over the curb. Then he leaped out and lay on the ground, waiting for the worst.
 The planes wing clipped the radio antenna off the car and an- other motorist reported the craft scratched paint off one fender.
 T went all through the war without a scratch,' It. Parks told spectators who helped the two servicemen pull the plane to the roadside, and then come in for a crash landing in my own hon e town, What a life!"

The W ashington
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The Douglas Aircraft people have been gnashing their teeth and issuing denials over this columns disclosure that they had sold the giant DC-4 to Japan despite Cordell Hull's plea to the contrary They also are wincing over my disclosure that Douglas facilitated the visit of Japanese Gen. Terauchi and party of Jap air experts to the Douglas plant at Santa Monica, Calf, on Oct. 30, 1889, two months after the Euro pean war started and despite the fact that U. s. Army planes were being manufactured in the Douglas plant.
 This whole matter is most im- portant. It goes to the root, of a problem in which the American people are vitally interested-how wars are fomented and how they can be prevented. The question is not merely an argument between this column and Douglas Aircraft.
 If airplane companies or any others are permitted to sell war supplies to a potential enemy against the repeated request of the Secretary of State without feeling the lash of public opinion, then wars are more easily fomented. In this case, MT. Hull had no legal authority to impose an embargo, only a moral right. The lash of public opinion was his only weapon and the greatest moulder of public opinion was the press.
 DONALD DOUGLAS QUERIED
 Tn July, 1888, I, personally, asked Donald Douglas point-blank if he was selling or intended to sell the DC-4 to Japan. His denial was unequivocal, emphatic and all- embracing. As a newspaperman l am accustomed to quizzing all sorts of people and usually can tell  when they are lying. Douglas, how ever. put on such show of righteousness that believed him. He said he had no intention what soever of selling the DC-4 to Japan. He was not even consider ing it.
 Yet, as later admitted, he had already arranged to sell the DC-4 at the very time he so emphatically denied it.
 When any official lies to news paper once, he automatically for feits the right to be believed or the courtesy of being queried in the future.
 When Donald Douglas swore that the DC-4 was not being sold to Japan, he obviously did not want

By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN


 BERLIN, Dec. 29. = Russell A. Nixon, Deputy Director of the Divi- sicn of Investigation of Cartels and External Assets of the American Military Government, asserted today that military authorities in the Am- erican zone were "pampering" Ger man industrialists.
 Nixon, former instructor in the economics department at Harvard University and later CIO Washing ton representative for the United Electrical Workers, declared in an interview that German industries were not being destroyed and that industrialists were not being arrest ed as he believed they should under a directive of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
 Released from Jails
 He also declared that pressure forced his division to release from jail numbr of leaders of the l. G. Farben Industrie, gigantic German chemical trust, after they had been interrogated.
 It. Gen. Lucian D. Clay, Deputy Military Governor of Germany, said, q found out about the release of these Farben leaders only the other day. If any pressure was brought for their release, it certainly did not come from this office We still have ten in custody, however
 Soft Pedal Talk
 Col. E. s. Pillsbury, Control Of- ficer for the Farben Industrie, in- formed Nixon that If and when this office obtains information which provides a basis for substantive charges against these officials or 3ny of them, such charges will be presented promptly to the War Crimes Authority or to the Counter Intelligence Department, according to the nature of the accusation"
 Nixon, who is awaiting return home after his division (the ICEA) was split up between the finance and economic divisions of the mili- tary government, replied that There is a duty to place under arrest the key men in industry and finance un- til such time as determination of their culpability and punishment is made by the appropriate authority"
