PACIFIC FRAY
 WILL REQUIRE BIGGEST ARMY
Truman Tells Congress of Problems Invo|ved-
 Big } Meet Near

WASHINGTON, June 1 In a review of the war, President Tru- man told Congress today the Am erican Army in the Pacific ulti- mately will be bigger than our army was in Europe at its height.
 He outlined the problems con- fronting the nation before the Japanese war can be ended and steps being taken to meet them, discussed re-deplowment and de- mobilization problems with empha- sis on the transportation problem involved, and reiterated the na- tion's determination to fight the Pacific war to a complete finish. He called for workers for ship re- pair yards.
 On the international situation, President Truman told reporters at a press conference:
 The Big Three" Conference is getting closer and he thought he could say it would take place in the not far distant future. It will not be enlarged to include France or China.
 2-He is giving his full support to the British in their intervention in the Levantine situation and is in constant communication with Prime Minister Churchill on the subject. He thought this govern ment would be interested in a tri- partite meeting to discuss the sit uation but there has been no agreement for such meeting.
 3-He hopes the San Francisco Conference can be completed with in 10 days, but any delay in it's conclusion would not effect plans for the Big Three" meeting.
 On, the domestic front, MT. Tru- man said that:
 1-Claude Wickard's tenure as Secretary of Agriculture will end June 30 regardless of Senate action on Wickerds nomination as Rural Identification Administrator.
 2-He could not be more em- phatic than he was last week when he said that he did not propose any further Cabinet changes. This was in answer to question ap- parently prompted by published speculation that Secretary of State Stettinius might be replaced by Former War Mobilizer James F. Byrnes.
 3-He has persuaded Judge Sam uel I. Rosenman of New York to remain at the White House another year as special counsel to the President. The White House earlier had made public Rosenman's prof erred resignation.
 4-Guy M Gillette's resignation as Chairman of the Surplus Prop erty Board will become effective not later than July 15.
 5-He hopes Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau can get the 10000 additional investigators he has requested to break up what MT. Truman called shocking evasion of income taxes.

CONFERENCE
 OF NATIONS
 SPEEDS UP
Improved Conditions on Two Fronts Give Hope
 Early Adjournment
By John M. Hightower

Associated Press Diplomatic News Euiiof'
 SAN FRANCISCO, June Pros poets for settlement of the Franco Syrian dispute combined with re- ports of improved American-So Soviet relations today to brighten dele gates hopes for an early, successful windup of the United Nations Con- ference.
 Forceful leadership by the big sponsoring powers is reg ar de d among United States delegates as the means for shaking the confer ence out of it's tagging committee work and whipping the charter for a new league into final shape
 Many delegates are saying pri- vately that the time for action to that end is at hand and the place to begin is among the Big Five The United States sought agree ment with British, Russian, Chinese and French spokesmen on half a dozen pending questions, and an early meeting of Secretary Stet- tinius with the other four dele gation chiefs is expected.
 Moscow Reaction Due
 Moscow reaction to a proposed Big Five" statement on the veto voting issue is due in day or so. The statement is. intended to re- assure small nations that the big power veto could not be used to prevent their getting at least a preliminary hearing before the prospective world security council At the moment a Moscow answer is the key log in the work jam.
 On the bright side are world po- litical developments to which the conference sensitively reacts. It is reported that President Truman's special envoy to Moscow. Harry Hopkins, has had successful con- ferences with Marshal Stalin and other Soviet leaders, paving the way lOl inuCll OCtlC1 lCldtAciio w tween Moscow and Washington.
 One Bright Spot
 One result may be to hasten the time of joint Allied occupation of Berlin and Austria in accordance with agreements made months ago but inexplicably held up after German defeat.
 On the Levant crisis news that peace was being restored to the death ridden streets of Damascus coupled with Anglo-American in- sistence on a free settlement of Franco-Syrian differences, rather than one made at gun-point, cheered small nation delegates. They have been worried over the future security of their own coun- tries under league controlled in the main by the big powers.

Ex-PrineipoI Mt. Hermon Dies At83
DF. Cutler Beloved HeodmosteF 'Deon' Of l4,Il9 Bows

Brattleboro, Vt, Oct, 8. (UP)- Dr. Henry Franklin Cutler, prin- cipal of the Mount Hermon School for boys at East Northfield, Mass. for 42 years period to his retirement in 1882, died at Brattleboro Memo- rial Hospital today after a long Illness. He was 63. .
 Beloved as "Doc' Cutler to the 14,ll9 boys who graduated during his years at Mount Hermon, the veteran educator started as a mathematics instructor at the school founded by the world-famed evangelist, Rev. Dwight L. Moody
 A native of Greenwich, Mass, Dr. Cutler was graduated from Amherst College in 1886. The following autumn he joined the Mount Her mon faculty where he remained for a year before travelling to Europe for studies in Paris, Geneva and Berlin.
 School Growth
 During 1890 he taught at the State Normal School in West Chester, Pa, whence he was sum- moned to became principal of the Mount Hermon School. During the years that followed, the school grew from a small institution of five buildings on a bare, 300-acre hill- side to a widely recognized prepara- tory school with 800 students and 70 buildings. Va
 At 70 he retired after acquiesc- ing to @ request to remain at the school two years beyond the re- tirement age. It was then that he satisfied a lifelong ambition to study medicine
 with his wife, the former Har- riet Ford, @ Mount Hermon teacher herself, pr. Cutler set out for Paris
 Entering the Sorbonne in the fall of 1882, he remained hard at work studying medicine for three years-working early and late tn the laboratories and attending lec- lures with his far younger class mates in bleak halls equipped with backless wooden benches.
 In 1886 he transferred to the Uni versity of Vienna to complete his studies under German teachers Here again he was forced to sur- mount the obstacles of both laHl- guage and studies that were new to him. On July 24. l940, he was rewarded with a diploma-the old est studetnt ever to graduate from the Vienna Medical School and perhaps the oldest from any Ger man university.
 Unable to complete his internship in Germany because of the ap- preaching war, Dr. Cutler returned home, passed the Massachusetts medical examinations and began practicing.
 Honored by numerous American universities, pr. Cutie rwas deco rated by the Belgium government after World War I for his services with Herbert Hoover's relief com nittee.
 Thrice married. Dr. Cutler leaves a wife, three sons, three daughters. 20 grandchildren and one great grandchild.
 Funeral services will be held

 Two of the three questions to which Higashi-Kuni replied related to Hirohito and Pearl Harbor. The first was whether the Emperor knew in advance of the Pearl Harbor att tack and the second, when the Em- peror had signed the Imperial re- strict.
 In reply to the third question, Higashi- said the Japanese were Investigating with the utmost effort" reports of mistreatment of Allied war prisoners and civilian in- ternees.
 Unfortunately" he admitted, "a considerable number of offenses were committed. Although due to the general confusion following the termination of the war and the in- terruption of communications, the desired data still are unobtainable, 1t is assumed that a considerable number of offenders have been duly punished.
 However, he was able to cite only two actual cases of punishment They were a Japanese captain who was sentenced to three years i'm. prisonment for locking up a British Army captain and reducing his food ration at camp in Siam, and a Japanese lieutenant "and several others" suspended from their du- ties for mistreating prisoners in the Siam-Burma region.

LongshoreHNen defled their union leaders today and refused to return to their jobs in New York harbor snagging a back-to-work movement which had been expected to ease the nations labor strife.
 Oil, automobile, and dock workers were scheduled to 90 back to their jobs today after ending strikes, but in New York the longshoremen baked.
 The Longshoremen had been scheduled to report at 8 Q. m., end- ing a weeklong walkout, but instead they posted notices on the pier doors which said: No gangs will 90 back to work until everyone goes back to work except those working on troop and Red Cross ships" About 60,00C stevedores and afnliated workers had joined the strike ct its height week and had tied up virtually all harbor shipping,
 Ofncers of the International Longshoremens' Association (AFL) had expected the men to return to the piers while union negotiators worked out a new contract with shippers representatives.
 The most serious work stoppage facing the nation at the moment however, was the walkout in the nations soft coal fields.
 A work stoppage of five weeks ended yesterday ct the Hudson Mo- tor Car Co.,, in Detroit, although the countrys strike roll, still bore the names of 429,000 idle workers.
 New model cars also began to roll of Ford Motor Co.,, assembly lines, the first time in almost month.
 The last of major refining areas, in which 36,0o0 oil workers halted gasoline and petroleum production two and one-half weeks, was sched- uled to resume operations today under Navy supervision. This was in the vast Calumet River Basin of Northern Indiana, where CIOs de- It1and for Q 30-per cent pay boost started the nnushroorning oil strikes.
 A mounting load of wage-price disputes caused breakdown last night in Washington of efforts to halt the spreading soft coal strike, threatening the nations fuel sup- ply at the onset of winter.
