Fifth Of Senate Holds
Fate Of JobIess Bill,
Kilgore Declares
Action to Stort Today;
George Doubts Approval
Of SIS Weekly Clause
By the Associated Press.

Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia, said today the
fate of a presidentially-backed
proposal for $25 a week unem-
ployment aid payments rests
with one-f1fth of the Senate.
These members have not yet made
up their minds and the others are
divided evenly, Senator Kilgore as
serted as the Senate prepared to
take up an unemployment compen-
sation measure lacking this feature.
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee, which wrote the pend
ing bill, expressed hope of passing
a reasonably satisfactory" measure
promptly. But he said he doubted
the final form would include any
guarantee of Federal funds to raise
present State rates to the S25 top.
There is no particular controversy
about two other parts of the bill.
These would:
l. Grant jobless benefits to some
1900 900 Federal civil employees and
100000 maritime workers.
2. Grant payments of up to 5000
to move stranded war worker and
his dependents back home or to a
new job.
All hands expressed a desire to
have something to bridge the gap
between war jobs and reconversion
employment.
The bill before the Senate today
provides for Federal aid to extend
the duration of State payments 60
per cent to maximum of 26 weeks,
at State rates. Except in Arizona
and Mississippi, where this percent
age would bring the maximum to
little over % weeks, the result would
be top of Is weeks.
Senator Kilgore, author of the
original plan of a $25 top for Is
weeks, said he planned to submit
a substitute making 26 weeks man.
datory, but leaving it to each State
whether it wants the Government
to augment its payments to $25.
Present State rates vary from SIS
to $28 week.

that 100000 Regular Army troops
probably would be sufficient to rule
Japan within six months, allowing
complete demobilization" of Pa
cific draftees. Previous lowest esti-
mates for the occupation force had
been 100000
There was no comment here on
the mixed reaction in Washington
or on the possibility that President
Truman might have to define the
American occupation policy.
Exodus Under Way.
Already the exodus from the Pa
ciflc is under way, with some high
ranking officers joining enlisted men
aboard homeWard- bound transport
planes or ships.

manding general of the 9th Air

Soft Peace Fears Stir Russell
To Demand Hirohito's Arrest

vately since the peace terms were
signed.
Under those terms Hirohito re-
mains on his throne but takes Or
ders from Gen. Macarthur. No
promise was made that he would
not be tried for war crimes. The
Japanese people are to decide what
form of government they want.
Some Senators who previously had
called for Hirohito's trial as a war
criminal said they had not changed
their minds. They added they had
not renewed these demands publicly
because of the delicacy of occupa-
ton operations. This factor caused
Senator Russell to delay his speech
a week.

Stimson Retirement
Seen as Forerunner
Of Other Changes
BY ERNEST b. VACCARO,
Associated Press Stan Writer

President Truman has chosen
Undersecretary Robert P. Pat
terson to succeed Henry L. Stim-
son as Secretary of War.
This was learned today as Mr..
Truman called news conference
for pm, when he is expected to
make the official announcement.
Retirement of Mr.. Stimson, who
will be 78 Friday, may be followed
by several other War Department
changes.
Assistant Secretary John j. Nc
Cloy also is expected to return to
private life soon. The retirement of
Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief OF
Staff, is expected within weeks. 1t.
Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, chief of
the Army Service Forces, soon may
take a job in private industry. Gen.
Henry H. Hap" Arnold, command
Ing general of the Army Air Forces,
is another who wants to retire.
Selection Is Surprise.
The President told reporters in
Kansas City Saturday he would
discuss reported changes in the War
Department today.
Mr.. Patterson's selection to re-
place Mr.. Stimson would come as
somewhat of a surprise. Capitol
Hill guessing has been that the un-
dersecretary was in line for appoint
ment to the Supreme Court vacancy
created by the retirement of Justice
Owen j. Roberts.
Lawmakers generally had dis
counted Mr.. Patterson for the cab
met post because of sharp differ
ences between him and the Senate
War Investigating Committee which
Mr.. Truman headed as Senator.
These differences grew out of the
committees sharply -worded criti-
cism of the Army's Canol oil de-
velopment project in Canada and
Mr.. Patterson's stanch support of
the multi-million dollar undertaking
May Name Loan Chief.
There were 40 indications that
Mr.. Truman would announce his
Supreme Court appointment today.
He may, however, designate a new
Federal Loan Administrator to sue
ceed John w. Snyder, who moved up
as war mobilization and recon-
version director several weeks ago.
Another top vacancy is that of
Security Administrator, left when
Paul v. McNutt was named Philip
pines High Commissioner.

Supreme Court Selection
Gives Truman Concern
Nv EnIun ITNrnJ

Selection of new Supreme Court
justice to fill the, vacancy left
by the resignation OF Owen j. Rob-
erts apparently is giving Presi-
dent Truman much concern. One
of the latest pleas In support of a
possible appointee was made yes
terday by group of Western Sen
ators who called at the White
House to indorse Judge Orie L.
Phillips of the tenth judicial cir
cult, Republican.
The President, it is understood
listened carefully and said that
Judge Phillips name would be given
consideration, but he made no COM
mitment.
1t has been generally supposed
that the President would name a
Republican to the politically -lop-
sided court. 1t is clear, however,
that the appointment will be used
as a measuring stick to determine
whether Mr.. Truman is at heart a
New Dealer. But it may be difficult
to find Republican of sufficient
legal attainments who also would be
satisfactory to the New Dealers.
Some of the Democrats on Capitol
Hill insisted today, however, that If
the President is to appoint a Re-
publican to the court-none has
been appointed in 13 years-he had
better appoint recognized Repub-
lican of standing or else go to a good
Democrat. They pointed out that to
select a pseudo-Republican would
initiate against the advantage of
giving such an appointment to the
opposition party and would please
no one.
Meanwhile, confidence was ex-
pressed in some quarters that the
Presidents selection would be Judge
Oscar E. Bland, who served as a
member of the House from Indiana
before he was appointed to the Fed
eral bench % years ago. He has
served with distinction on the Court
of Customs and Patent Appeals.
The names of two more widely
known Republicans we're added to
an already long list of possible ap-
pointees-John Foster Dulles and
John Lord OBrian both of New
York. Mr.. Dulles was active as
special advisor to the American
delegation to the United Nations
Conference in San Francisco. Mr..
O'Brian served as counsel to the
War Production Board during the
war. Federal Judge John Parker
of North Carolina, Senator Austin
OF Vermont, Undersecretary of War
Patterson and former Senator Dam
aher of Connecticut also have been
| recommended.

Newspaper DeIiverers
Denied Welfare Fund
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-The WLB
daily newspaper Commission an
nounced today its directive in the
New York newspaper strike of July,
denying the striking unions request
for a 8 per cent welfare fund.
The welfare fund was one of the
most controversial issues in the con-
tract dispute between the Publishers
Association of New York City and
the Independent Newspaper and
Mail Deliverers' Union of New York
and vicinity. The dispute led to a
strike tying up circulation of major
New York dailies for II days.

Extension Of Rationino
To Help Feed Europe
Indicated by Truman
New Controls Unlikely
Until 1916; Potsdom
Aid Pledge Reiterated
BY tie Associated Press.

The days of food shortages
and rationing may not be as near
an end as many-including some
In Government-had expected.
President Truman so cautioned
Americans in White House state
ment late yesterday. In it the
President reiterated a pledge made
after his return from the Potsdam
Conference that this country would
help feed the hungry in war torn
areas to the limits of our strength" !"
He added that in meeting mini
mum foreign food needs, it might be
necessary to return to rationing
some items freed of Government
controls since Japan surrendered.
Depends on Financing.
Mr.. Truman disclosed that ar
rangements have been made for full
filling main food requests of Europe
between now and January l. But
shipments after that date-and
hence, the character of the domestic
food supply-will be determined, he
said, on arrangements made in the
meantime for financing them.
Great Britain and some other
European countries now are at
tempting to negotiate credits
grants or other financial aid. Like
wise, future activities of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration will depend largely
on whether it obtains additional
funds.
Mr.. Truman has recommended
that Congress approprite $1,000, ,O0O.-
600 for UNRRA. The lawmakers
have made no move yet to act on
the recommendation.
In discussing the problem of
financing food exports the Presi-
dent said this Government is bend
ing every effort to find solutions.
He added that pending settlement of
the financial problem, this country
was taking steps to prevent dissi-
patton of food supplies which Eu-
rope may buy later.
,-#. More Meat in October.
However, Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson told newsmen after a
White House conference with the
President that civilians will get a
more liberal amount of meat in Oc-
tober. Mr.. Anderson estimated the
october supply would be at the per
capita rate Of 140 pounds a year,
compared with about 132 in Sep
tember, lis pounds in the spring
and summer, 147 pounds In 1914 and
1876 pounds for the 1935-1939 prewar
average.
Mr.. Anderson indicated, however,
that rationing will be continued
until it can be determined that con-
trolls are no longer necessary to in
sure foreign requirements and
equitable distribution at home. He
said sugar rationing may have to be
continued into 1916, but he ex-
pressed hope that rationing of food
fats-including butter, margarine,
lard and, Shortening-may be ended
by January /.
Mr.. Truman's food statement was
isued after a delegation sponsoring
a food for freedom" foreign re-
lief movement called on him to ask
for prompt increase in shipments
