1000 Officers Ready
To Take Over Task
OF Governing japan
By NELSON M. sHFpApn

More than 1000 Army and NAVY
military government officers are
awaiting word from Gen. Douglas
Macarthur to move into Japan with
the occupation troops, the War De-
partment announced yesterday.
They will be joined later by 678
additional specialists who are grad
.uating now from seven ARMY civil
affairs training centers. All of these
centers will be closed by Tuesday ex-
cept the one at Charlottesville, Va.
The 678 specialists are scheduled
to move directly from class halls to
a staging area for transpor tation to
Japan.
Face Difficult Problem.
Inc schools to be closed are at
Yale, Chicago, Mishigan, Stanford,
Northwestern and Harvard Uniyer-
sites. The basic school at Chariot
tesvllle, from which officers have
been sent to the various university
schools for advanced study in the
art OF governing conquered coun-
tries, will be maintained indefinitely.
The officers being shipped to
Japan to handle military govern
ment duties face a more difficult
problem than encountered in
Europe, but they have been given
intensive training since they were
chosen for this important assign
ment. Besides their two-months
basic work in the theories of gov
erning conquered peoples, they have
studied the japanese language, the
geographic area and the peculiar
political and social characteristics
OF Japan during six months addi-
tional training.
AS additional officers for this duty
are needed, they will be furnished
by the Charlottesville school, where
$40 students currently are training.
They will be graduated September
10 and Immediately sent across.
Recruit Glass of 200.
Another class of 200 officers is
being recruited to 60 to Charlottes-
vile on September "a.
A recent modification has been
made in the curriculum of the Army
school to familiarize the officers
with anticipated conditions in Japan,
the War Department said. The
abruptness of the Japanese sur
render voided the need of stressing
instruction in the combat phases of
occupation. such as in the case Of
Europe. There the civil affairs Of
flcers landed in France with the
invasion troops and kept pace with
the invasions of Germany and Italy.
The training now is directed at
detailed instruction in the static
occupation of defeated nation"

resolution. China had abstained
from the vote in committee, in which
the resolution was passed by a "a
to-4 vote.
The main debate over the issue
had come in this committee meeting
The Polish delegate Ludwik Rajch-
man, termed the proposal obviously
political"
He said he was anxious to have
UNRRA care for Poles, but dis
agreed with the way the principle
was laid down in the British spon-
sored resolution.
Mr.. Noel-Baker in a speech de-
clared that UNRRA care for these
refugees was the only alternative to
loosing horde Of miserable home
less to wander through Europe
without hope of rehabilitation for
themselves. He said 1T would be a
pest and nuisance to every coun-
try"
The decision today cleared the
way for the remaining major prob
lens OF relief for Italy, Austria,
Korea, and 'Formosa, and a pro-
gram for obtaining funds.
Split Called Significant.
Some delegates saw significance
IN the split among the big powers in
the conference, and said those coun-
tries objecting to today's resolution
are on the receiving end of UNRRA
relief.
A member of the American dele
CATION, who declined to be quoted
by name, said that one background
consideration. which should not be
overlooked in weighing the polit-
ical results Of having voted Russia
down on the resolution, was the
pending Soviet request for $500,
900 900 in UNRRA aid.
This request is not a subject for
formal discussion at the UNRRo
conference. The British and Amer
leans make no attempt to disguise
their unhappiness over the request
for such a large sum.
a proplem may arise because Of
UNRRA plans to send a commission
to investigate the financial status of
countries which claim they are I'M
able to pay for supplies needed.
Russia has not asked for an excep-
ton to this policy, but some dele
gates are dubious to what extent
Moscow would be willing to open its
books to foreign inspectors.
UNRRA meanwhile released flp-
ures showing that contributions to
date are $375, 900 900 short Of the op-
Grating program for this year. But
counting the funds promised to it
UNRRA will have a balance of more
than SITE, 100000 at the end of the
year.

UNRRA Council Votes
To Assist Refugees
Who Remain in Exile
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. Is. - Overriding
the dissent of Russia, Poland, Yu-
goslavia and Czechoslovakia, the
council of the United Nations Re.
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton today sanctioned aid for wal
refugees who wish to remain in
exile.
The 128-to-4 vote in an open
plenary session was taken after
opponents charged the step would
involve UNRRA in explosive Euro
pean politics.
Delegates from Yugoslavia and
Poland declared that If UNRRA
cares for persons unwilling to be
repatriated, the organization would
be violating a rule against mixing
in the politics of member coun-
tries.
Russia, Poland and Yugoslavia
declared they reserved full rights, y
meaning they kept the right to
consider the measure imperative
so far as they were concerned.
Amendments Defeated.
Yugoslav amendments which
would have imposed tight restric-
tions on relief to nonrepatriates had
been defeated earlier in a stormy
committee meeting. One of these
proposals would have required dis
placed persons unwilling to 20 back
to their own countries to live in
camps.
Director General Herbert H
Lehman was said to have declared
the Yugoslav amendments would
make the UNRRA administrative
job impossible. Some delegates
took this to mean he might have
resigned If the proposals had been
accepted.
Answering charges that relief to
refugees wishing to stay in exile
would become a method of political
interference, British Minister of
State P. j. Noel-Baker declared he
considered the resolution would keep
UNRRA out of politics.
Unanimous Vote Refused.
|, Mr.. Noel-Baker and Assistant
Secretary Of State Will Clayton, the
American delegate, appealed for a
unanimous vote but the four op-
posing nations refused, and three
Of them then declared they re-
served full rights.
Yugoslavia' s Nikola Petrovic as
serted a direct result of the reso-
luton might be IAN increase in
those who do not wish to return -
and that 1t might encourage I'M
sound and adventurous elements to
remain abroad"
Another Yugoslav, Rudolf Bicanic,

ton hangs on few hundred Yugo-
siavs in Italy. We don't consider

Mr.. Lehman, giving the viewpoint
of the UNRRA administration. as
sured delegates that it was his pur-
pose to distribute relief without dis
elimination. He promised that liai-
son officers, from the countries
whose nationals were receiving
UNRRA care, would be allowed to
talk with refugees and inform them
about home conditions.

which must be paid for this defeat
in battle is very high, but as the
consequence of such about war,
that cannot be helped"
The Domei broadcast, despite the
fatness of the foreign ministers
declaration, sought to soften the
harshness of reality, stressing an
other statement by Shigemitsu that
Japan must win 1.-The worlds SYM
pathy and understanding.
Occupation filters apparently had
replaced invasion fears in japanese
minds as Domei quoted an unidenti-
fed Tokyo newspaper urging that no
attention be paid to rumors that
American troops and Chungking
Army already had landed in Japan.
The newspaper urged the people
not to credit irresponsible rumors, -
but to place their confidence in
reports announced by authoritative
sources, the radio and newspaper"
and added that 'the landing of
occupation armies on Japan's main
land will be done in orderly fashion
after the conclusion of the truce
agreement"
The rumors. said the newspaper,
claimed the Americans had landed
at Shimoda, southwest of Tokyo,
and the Chungking forces had en-
tered Osaka.
Cabinet Session Called.
Other broadcasts said Gen. Prince
Naruhiko Higashi-Kuni, the new
Premier, had called an extraordi-
nary session of his new cabinet to-

ages who called at his home.
Higashi-Kuni was quoted earlier
as pledging his "resolute determine
ton to endure all hardships in safe
guarding the national policy and
undertaking the task of reconstruct
ing Japan"

cussing the postwar period and its
problems, quoted Ashanti as saying

Asahi earlier had warned that in

forces would be compelled to step

conversion, rebuilding, new taxes
and educational measures-the lat
