WASHINGTON. Sept. 18-lR
The days of fooo shortages and

end as many-including some in

President Truman so cautioned
Americans in a White House
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 min
imum foreign food needs, II
might be necessary to return to
rationing some items freed OF
government controls since Japan
surrendered.
MIR. Truman disclosed that ar
rangements have been made fol
fulfilling main food requests OF
Europe between now and Janu-
airy l. But shipments after that
date-and hence, the character
of the domestic food supply
will be determined, he said, or
arrangements made in the mean,

TOKYO, Sept. ID - (PD -
The newspaper Asahi was sus-
pended for two days today for
charging the United States broke
International Law wit h the
atomic bomb and implying that
stories of Japanese atrocities in
the Philippines were cover up
for "outrages' of u. S. soldiers
in Japan.
General Macarthur, who pre-
viously had told the Japanese
press to publish documented evil
dence of the barbarities of it's
soldiers during the war in the
Pacific, told the influential Tok-
20 newspaper to shut down at 4
D. m. until the same hour Thurs
day.
Like the rest, Asahi had pub
lished an editorial about the
''regretfut atrocities", but into its
report crept the following:
/. That the Japanese who read

saying they were unbelievable.

The woman, whose name Is

due 10 the nature Of the case,
was severely beaten about the
face and mouth early Monday,
Prosecutor Wilbur +. Held said
in recommending the warrant for
Nye's arrest. He said that the
orderly had denied the attempted
attack but had confessed TO

Deputy Sheriff Richard De-
Ketelaere, who investigated the
case. said that Nye had placed
screen between the bed of his
intended victim and that of
another woman patient In the
ward before the incident took
place. He said that the woman
had been saved from more serl-
Gus injury only because her
screams attracted the attention

Molotov Confirms
Moseow's Interest

LONDON, Sept. 10 Up
Foreign Commissar v. M. Molo-
TOW said today that Russia was
interested in Italian colonies and
that there was "a grain of truth"
in the report that Russia wanted
sole trusteeship over the North
African colony OF Tripolitania.
Speaking at a press conference
in the sumptious Soviet embassy,
Molotov declined to give specific
Russian demands on Italy, but
made it clear that Russia was
anxious to obtain a foothold on
the Mediterranean.
The dapper Foreign Commits
sar also declined to be specific
on MoscoW's views on the Ital-
ian-Yugoslav boundary, saying
only that the question was "un-
der discussion. He declared,
however, that he believed those
territories beloning to Croats
and Slovenes should be turned
over to Yugosfavia.
Earlier, the Yugoslavs made
formal claims to Venetia Giulla
before the foreign ministers OF
the five leading Allied nations.
Molotov made a long state
ment supporting the govern
ments established in Romania,
Bulgaria and Hungary which the
United States and Britain have
refused to recognize.

Senator Hits
Trend Toward
a Soft Peace
Charges American
Policy Leading to
New World Conflict

WASHINGTON, Sept. l8-(R
-Smoldering Congressional dis
satisfaction with peace terms
imposed upon Japan famed to-
day with a demand by Senator
Russell (D-Ga) for the arrest Of
Emperor Hirohito as war
criminal.
The Georgia senator decried,
in an address prepared for Sem
ate delivery, what he described
as soft peace" developing for
japan. He said if present po-
licies are continued I'VE are
headed for complete failure and
another war" in the orient.
Russell was the first to bring
before the Senate complaints
about the arrangements under
which Japan surrendered.
WIDE CRITICISM
Several of his colleagues have
voiced similar dissatisfaction pri-
Nately since the peace terms
were signed.
Under those terms Hirohito
remains on his throne but takes
orders from Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. No promise was made
that he would not be tried fo-
war crimes. The japanese people
are to decide what form Of gov
eminent they want.
Some Senators who previous
ly 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 occupation op-
erations. This factor caused Rus
sell to delay his speech a week.
