Macarthur 10 Issue
New, Lengthy List Of
Jap War Criminals
Tokyo Sources Predict
Purge Of Cabinets
Reoctionory Elements
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated PRESS.
TOKYO, Sept. 19.-Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters announced
today it would issue soon a new
and lengthy list of suspected
Japanese war criminals, while
reliable Japanese sources pre-
dicted an imminent purge of re-
dictionary elements in the cabi-
net OF Premier Prince Higashi-
Kuni.
Premier Higashi-Kuni himself in
a press conference yesterday told
Allied correspondents that his gov
ernment intended to determine re-
sponsibility for starting the war and
try its own accused, provided Gen.
Macarthur approved. The prince
did not elaborate. however, and
there was no word from Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters on whether
the Japanese would be permitted to
punish their own war criminals.
Demonstrating its resolve to keep
firm grip on the conquered jap
anese, headquarters suspended for
one day a second Tokyo newspaper
the English-language Nippon Times
Failed to Follow Orders.
The paper was ordered, 80 minutes
before press time. to withhold pub
lication of its Thursday morning
edition not because OF Objectionable
material, but because its editors had
failed to submit for American CEN
sorship a printers proof of an edi-
torial on the recent change of for
eign ministers.
On Tuesday. the big Japanese
language paper Asahi was ordered
to skip publication for two days, for
printing infammatory articles.
The sources who spoke of i'm
pending cabinet designations said
Vice Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye probably would lead the list.
He is a minister without portfolio.
Two other cabinet members with
out portfolio who may step down at
the same time, the sources said, are
1t. Gen. Toshishiro Obata and
Taketora Ogata.
Ogata, who also is chief cabinet
secretary, was named by Gen. Mac
Arthur on list of members of the
Black Dragon Society, but it was
understood American authorities
had taken no action against him, in
order to give the Japanese govern
ment time to prove its contention
that he was not member.
Wide Gap Reported.
The Japanese predicting the cab
met designations said a wide gap"
existed between Premier Higashi-
Kuni and the three they expected
to leave the government.
They described Premier Higashi-
Kuni as personally interested in the
gradual characterization of Japan,
both as a reform step and in COM
pliance with the wishes of Gen.
Macarthur, and said Konoye and
the others had opposed the Pre-
mier's attempts to smooth relations
between the japanese and Amer
ican governments.
The cabinet has been criticized
by the Japanese press for delay in
solving pressing problems such as
food and housing shortages and in
creasing unemployment.

Italian Peace Treoty
Ey the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The Coun-
Gil of Allied Foreign Ministers
weighed the Italian-Yugoslay
frontier claims today and it ap-
peared that discussions at the
current meeting would involve
no more than proposals for the
Italian peace treaty.
Such topics as the Balkans, the
Dardanelles and the Western Ger.
man border probably will be rele.
gated to the next meeting in late
November or early December of the
foreign ministers of the United
States, Russia, Great Britain
France and China.
Persons close to the conferees said
they were expected to go home to-
morrow Or Friday, turning unde-
cided questions about the Italian
peace treaty over to deputies for
detailed recommendations.
Russia's expressed interest in the
Italian African colonies of Tripo-
litania and Eritrea drew comments
from two London morning newspa-
pers. The conservative Daily Tele-
graph asked:
Does the Soviet government seri-
ously stake a claim to trusteeship
for Italy's African possessions? "
1t would be as reasonable to suggest
that Great Britain should become
trustee for Outer Mongolia.
Expresses Surprise.
The liberal News Chronicle ex-
pressed some surprise at Foreign
Commissar V. NJ Molotov's press
conference disclosure and suggested
If Russia asks for equality OF
status everywhere, she must concede

mainly controls. $ 1t will be a

Army Must Follow,

Acheson Declares
Replies to Questioner
Regarding MoeArthur's
Fixing Size of Force
BY GARNETT D. HORNER.

Actlng secretary OF State
Acheson, replying to questions
concerning Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's statement on the size
of occupation forces in Japan,
today declared that the occu-
patton forces are in Japan
to carry out Allied occupation
policy and not to make it.
His sharp comment came at a
news conference when he was asked
about reports that he was greatly
disturbed by Gen MacArthur's
statement Monday that American
occupation forces may be reduced
to 200, 900 men in six months.
Mr.. Acheson said his personal
feelings were not important and the
State Department was not con-
cerned at the military aspects OF
anything the Army might say, buI
emphasized that the Army is not ii
position to change policy towarc
Japan.
Mr.. Acheson avoided specific men,

in a sharp sentence he stated hi.
view that:
"The occupation forces are tht
instruments OF policy and not tht
determinents of policy"
Acheson Is Surprised.
Indicating the strength of his feel
ings by authorizing correspondents
to quote his remarks, Mr.. Acheson
said:
II am surprised that anybody car
foresee at this time what number
of forces will be necessary in Japan
THAT may come from my made
quate knowledge of the military
field, however, and it is not very
important.
1.-The important thing is that the
policy in regard to Japan is the same
policy which has always been helo
by this Government and is still helc
so far as I know-and I think
know.
I'm carrying out that policy the
occupation forces are the instru'
ments of policy and not the de-
terminents of policy.
Will Garry Out Surrender.
the policy is and has been thai
the surrender of Japan will be car.
ried out-that Japan will be put II
a position where it cannot renew ag.
gressive warfare that the present
economic and social system of ia
pan, which makes for war. will be
changed so that that will to wal
will not continue, and whatever II
takes to carry this out will be used
to carry it out"
Mr.. Acheson had reacted quickly
to Gen. Macarthur statement
Monday, authorizing terse comment
then that the State Department had
known nothing about the Mac
Arthur statement and was attempt
ing to find out about it.
He said today that there had not
been any consultation prior to Gen.
MacArthur's issuance of his state
ment.
He added that a State, War and
Navy Department Committee still is
functioning to coordinate American
policy in the Japanese occupation,
with instructions going to Gen. Mac
Arthur through military channels
from President Truman.
H. Freeman Matthews, director of
the State Department. Office of
European affairs. is it's representa-
tive on this committee. He is on
leave at present, however, and his
place is being taken by John D.
Hickerson, deputy to Mr.. Matthews.
Mr.. Acheson said he did not believe
this temporary change in personnel
had anything to do with the lack of
prior consultation about the Mac
Arthur statement.

Senate May Adopt
Substitute JobIess
Aid Measure Today
SIS q Week Maximum
And Federal Control Of
USES Seen Focing Defeo
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate appeared ready
today to turn down two of PreSi-
dent Truman's reconversion rec
ommendationS-the $25 a week
maximum jobless payment, and
continued Federal control of the
employment Offices throughout
the country.
After these two major tests the
Senate is expected to pass late this
afternoon or tomorrow the Finance
Committee substitute, merely eX-
tending to a maximum of 26 weeks
whatever payments the States now
make for a shorter period.
In the House, where the Ways
and Means Committee has not yet
acted on the subject, the adminis-
tration's recommendations may be
watered down further.
One Point at Issue.
Thus far there has been no con-
troversy over provisions of the bill
extending unemployment compen-
sation for the first time to 1900, 900
Federal employees and to maritime
workers, except on the question
of whether they should be treated
uniformly throughout the country
or paid under the laws of the States
ins which they work.
Defeat of the S25 weekly maxi
mum, advocated by Senator Kill
gore, Democrat, of West Virginia
has been expected for several days,
but the move to end Federal con-
troll of the employment service Of
fees Immediately, developed unex-
pectedly yesterday afternoon, even
while Mr.. Truman was announcing
this as one of the agencies being
transferred to Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, usually a strong White House
supporter, offered the amendment
to return the USES offices to the
States within 80 days, and pre-
dicted it would carry.
Majority Leader Barkley regis
tered objection to making the
change in the midst Of reconver-
sion, but his suggestion that vote
be put off until today was taken as
an indication he lacked enough sup
port to beat the move.
Seeks to End Confusion.
Senator Lucas told reporters his
only purpose was to eliminate con-
fusion in the handling of unemploy-
ment compensation, by centralizing
responsibility in the State govern
ments. Now, he pointed out, the
States administer the compensation
laws, but the Federal Government
runs the Offices which seek to find
the displaced workers new jobs.
If the Senate had an opportunity
to vote on putting the whole opera
ton under Federal control, Senator
Lucas said, he might support such a
move, but as long as unemployment
compensation remains a State func-
ton, he said, the employment SER
