sent protests to Moscow but thought
it wiser to make no issue of the in
cident because the act had been
committed and could not be
changed. The American Govern
ment, whose paramount hope for
peace rested on the world security
organization, did not wish to pre-
judice the chances of the San Fran
cisco Conference by too strong q
protest.
The next shock from Moscow
came when it was announced that
the Russian delegation at San
Francisco would be headed by a
minor Soviet official, Ambassador
Andrei Gromyko, rather than For
eign Commissar Molotov. The Dunn
barton Oaks Conversations were
merely exploratory. Hence, the
presence of the Soviet Ambassador
at the head of the Russian dele
cation was understandable.
Regarded As Rebuff.
But the appointment Of Mr..
Gromyko as the chief of the dele
cation to San Francisco is neces-
sarily interpreted as rebuff, since
only foreign secretaries are head
ing the missions of all the other
nations.
The official communique issued at
the end of the Yalta Conference
pointed out with pride that the
irksome Polish question. which had
kept the American-Britisha and the
Russian governments at logger
heads, had been settled. A COM
mittee of three composed OF the
Soviet Foreign Commissar and the
American and British Ambassadors
at Moscow was to sit together and
expand the RuSSian-sponsored
Lublin Committee. The committee
was to comprise cross-section of
Poles, including some representing
democratic ideas as are understood
in the United States and Great
Britain.
Nothing happened. The committee
functioned perfunctorily. The names
of individuals known for their
democratic ideals. such as former
Premier Mikolaj ajczyk, were pre-
sented to the Russians, but they
were found unacceptable.
Idea at Yalta.
The idea at Yalta was that a new
Polish government should be formed
to insure Poland's participation at
San Francisco. This was necessary
since Russia would not recognize
the Polish government in exile and
Washington and London would not
recognize the Lublin Committee.
After much dilly-dallying, Wash
ington and London heard only yes
terday that Russia was now de-
manding that the Lublin Committee
without any changes Whatsoever
be invited to San Francisco. Neither
the United States nor Britain could
accept this request which is contrary
to the agreements reached at Yalta ;,
inasmuch as it was the Russian
representative who blocked all at
tempts of his colleagues to organize
temporary Polish government with
at least some elements agreeable to
them.
In spite of the forced optimism
of Secretary of State Stettinius, the
concensus of observers in Washing
ton is that the diplomatic skies have
become so unexpectedly cloudy that
a postponement of the San Fran
cisco parley would offer an oppor-
tunity for a new start.

~ the Associated Press.


MANILA. Sunday, April 1.-Maj
Gen. Rapp Brush's 4Oth Division
Infantry, moving so fast that Japa
nese were unable to explode pre-
pared demolition charges, captured
Bacolod, capital city of Negros Is
land, Friday while Gen. MacAr-
thurs land-based planes destroyed
IA ships, including three destroyers
as they pursued their aerial block
ade Of the Chinese coast.
The Yank seized Bacolod, popu-
lation $4,000, on the second day of
their invasion of Negros, last large
enemy-held island in the Philip
pines. With capture of Bacolod only
three Philippines cities of compar-
able size-Baguio and Legaspi on
Luzon and Davao on Mindanao-
remain in japanese hands. TWO of
those, Baguio and Davao, were
heavily bombed, and 1st Corps
troops pushed 3 miles nearer Baguio
along the Naguilian-Baguio road.
Gen. Macarthur, announcing the
capture today, said Gen. Brush's S
division crossed two rivers, the Mag
sungay and Lupit-Saving all bridges

to slightly more than 100000 the
number of japanese reported killed
since the beginning of the Philip
pines campaign last october.
Roaming the sea lanes through
which Japan still is trying to sup
ply her homeland, bombers de-
stroyed a 10-ship convoy steaming
north off French Indo- China. Two
destroyers, three other escorts and
five cargo vessels totaling $4,000
tons were sunk. Five japanese
planes attempting to cover the con-
voy were shot down and two others
possibly destroyed.
To the north, three freighters of
1000 to 5000 tons each and a de-
stroyer were sunk off Hainah.

ognize while Moscow recognizes the
group functioning at Warsaw.
Possibility of Accord Seen.


The Associated Press reported
from London last night, however,
that possibility for an accord rested
in the application of Big Three
pressure on both the London and
Warsaw groups to accept as their
representative at San Francisco
some one like peasant-born Stanis-
law Mikolajczyk, former Polish pre-
mier. Officials here have some hope
that Mlkolajczyk may be worked
into the Warsaw provisional govern
ment.
Capitol Hill reaction was gen.
orally favorable to the rejection of
the Soviet demand for the present
Warsaw group to be invited to San
Francisco, and one of concern about
Russian intentions.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada wondered if the Russians
"are looking for an excuse for not
coming, to San Francisco at ALL"
Vandenberg Silent.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida wondered whether the So
Wet demand was "a negotiatory
maneuver or serious difference of
opinion between the three govern
ments." He said ''it is one of the
many conflicting points that will
have to be reconciled if we are to
achieve future peace"
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and
Senator Burton, Republican, of Ohio
expressed agreement with the State
Department action. Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, of Michigan. a
member of the American delegation
to San Francisco, declined comment,
saying the question was one for
settlement by the President and the
State Department.
The American delegation plans to
meet here Tuesday, and the question
OF the secret voting agreement will
be taken up at that time. It was
reported in congressional circles
that Russia may have to fight at the
San Francisco Conference for the
three votes it wants without any
preliminary American help.
Argentina's Status Uncertain,
The backing of this country, it
was said, may be confined only to
voting for the Soviet proposal when
1T reaches ballot. If the Soviet
proposal should be defeated. the
United States may never make a
request for three votes for itself,
congressional sources said.
One question raised by the DAYS
developments was it's effect on Ar
gentlna's hopes of being invited to
the San Francisco Conference.
Since Argentina's declaration of war
on the Axis last week, it has been
expected that the United States and
the other American republics soon
will sponsor her application to ioin
the United Nations. The Moscow
press recently has been extremely
critical Of the Buenos Aires gov
ernment, indicating a Soviet veto
against a San Francisco invitation
to Argentina.

2lST UNITED STATES BOMB
Err COMMAND HEADQUARTERS,
GUAM, Sunday, April 1.-Super
Fortresses, in twin blows against
prime industrial targets and mill
tary objectives in the Japanese
homeland, blasted Kyushu and
Honshu Islands yesterday.
A large force, estimated at about
$50 of the B-29s, attacked Kyushu,
southernmost of Japan's main
island chain. A smaller force re-
turned to the attack on Honshu,
again hitting Nagoya, the great in
dustrial city and center of Japan's
aircraft production.
The Tokyo radio, noting the re-
lentless Super Fort blows against
Southern Japan's "airflelds and
airfeld installations" guessed they
were in support of landing at
tempts" at Okinawa, in the stra-
tegic Ryukyu chain which extends
southwestward from Kyushu to
Formosa.
Precision Bombing Raid.
Yesterdays daylight mission to
Kyushu was a precision bombing
raid against such targets as the
Tachiarai machine shops and the
Oita airfield on the east coast 1t
was the second BIO strike there
in four days.
The Nagoya raid was staged
around am. Saturday. That great
industrial city twice recently has
undergone mass incendiary raids
aimed primarily against aircraft
plants.
The Goth Air Force announced in
Washington that all of the Nagoya
raiders returned safely to their
Marianas bases after striking at
plane production targets, including
the Mitsubushi aircraft engine
plant. This raid also was by pre-
cision instruments.
Good results were obtained IN the
raid. the Goth Air Force said. jap
anese fighter opposition ranged
from weak to moderate, while anti
aircraft fire in some areas was in
tense. The B-29s shot down two
enemy planes, probably destroyed
three, and damaged eight.

machine shop area were hit. Forty

and five damaged.
At Oita four hangers and a like
number of other buildings were
damaged while three reveted struc-

there received "a bomb hits. Ten

The damage at Omura covered
two assembly buildings, three ma
