He said the immigration quotas
for all these countries for one
year total about $4,000, two-thlrds
of which are allotted to Germany.
Since visas cannot exceed 10 per
cent of the annual quota in any
single month, this means that only
about $500 per month can be is
sued monthly to natives of these
countries.
Quotas operate on fiscal year
basis, so only about %, 400 vlsas
could be issued in the remaining
six months of this year for dis
placed persons. The annual I'M
migration quotas for all countries
total 153, 1897, of which Great Brit
ain and Fire get more than half.

immigration officials said the
normal quotas for the countries af-
fected are about $4,000 year for
Germany, 1000 for Austria, 5000
for Poland, and smaller figures for
Czechoslovakia, Romania and
Yugoslavia.
It is<hoped, the President assert

Irresponsible welfare organiza-

will guarantee that the immigrants
will not become public charges,
he said.
Since it will be impossible to re-

President Truman's special en-
voy, who had braved perilous fly
ing weather in hurrying here from
the old Chinese capital, was met
at the airport by Premier 7. v.
Soong, who accompanied him to his
quarters.
Another greeter was Gen. Chou
En-lai, head of the Chinese Com
munist delegation to the forthcom-
ing peace parleys. The Chinese
press was specializing that the
peace meeting between govern
ment and Communist delegations
would begin shortly after Jan. 1.
Although there were reports OF
new outbreaks in troubled North
China, and new Communist
charge of an imminent government
offensive, Chou asserted to news
papermen he still was working for
halt to all hostilities.
He said he had urged a Chung
king government representative
here to forward the Communist S
plan for peace to Chang at Nam
king without waiting for the ar
rival Of the generalissimo.
Associated Press correspondent
Richard Gushing in Marking said
the first discussions between Mar
shall and Chang on the unifica
ton of China took place after a
dinner in Marshall's honor last
night.
Various topics were discussed
over the dinner table, Gushing said
after which Marshall and Chang
retired for more serious talks.

of Sturgis, KY, and T-5 Robert
Thompson, 20, of Camden, N. j.
Woodring was Patton's chauffeur,
Thompson was at the wheel of a

The 18th Military Police Com

police said no reason was found to
hold either and that they were re-

Hamm, five miles southwest Of

Waiting at the border will be a
picked battalion of 600 soldiers
who fought under, Patton in the
Third Army's blazing armored
sweep up from the Saar to turn
the tide of battle in the Ardennes
Bulge almost year ago to the day.
Mrs. Patton herself selected
Hamm as his resting place, rather
than the traditional cemetery, of
American heroes in Arlington, Va,
or nearer burial ground on enemy
German soil.
Many thousands of Third Army
men are buried in the U. S. Mill
tary cemetery at Hamm, located on
towering bluff looking out over
the beautiful hills and valleys Of
southern Luxembourg, and his
widow felt Patton would have
wanted to remain with the soldiers
he led to victory.
The Luxembourg interment serv-
ice tentatively has been set for 10
a. M, with representatives of
Britain, France, Czechoslovakia,
Italy and other states joining the
Americans at the graveside.
Mrs. Patton and her brother,
Frederick Aver, who flew here
from Boston to join her, will ride
alone in the first funeral train
with the body. The mourners and
IL honorary pallbearers will fol-

Immediately after the funeral,
Mrs. Patton was scheduled to 60

being swelled onstantly by the
arrival of -~'- and Staff Of
ficers SUNNI -oned hurriedly from

Among them were most Of the
top American field commanders
who fought with CT under Patton
in the war, including Gen. Joseph
T. McNarney, now commander OF
all American forces in this thea
ter.
Patton's chief and close personal
friend, Gen. Dwight D. EisenhoW-
er, was unable to leave his post
of chief of staff in Washington, but
his personal representative, 1t.
Gen. Walton H. Walker, was sched-
uled to leave the United States by
plane tonight to attend the burial

Halsey's Convincing Attack

The toll Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet has
teen days is the more amazing inasmuch as
none of his own ships suffered DAMAGE The
enemys loss of 416 ships-naval and cargo
and $50 warplanes announced by Admiral Nj
mitz, commander Of Allied naval forces in
the Pacific, coupled with the destruction or
damage of a four-ship convoy by light unit
of the Halsey Fleet and the Smelling of the
BONN island port OF Omura, north of Two,
by other light units, constitutes a blow Japan
cannot hope to Offset and should convince the
most fanatical of Japanese leaders of the ut
ter hopelessness of continuing the war.
That the Japanese war party has at least
some realization of its position is indicated
by the desperate counterattack of Japanese
forces in China by which they effected break
through to the China coast opposite Formosa,
where Tokyo obviously believes landing may
be launched, and by Lord Mountbatten'S an
nouncement that strong japanese force has
broken out of its Burma trap and is attack
ing the rail center of Pyu, on the Rangoon-
Mandalay communication line over which sup
plies are pouring into south China apparently
in preparation for extensive Allied land o.
erations.
Left to themselves, the Japanese war party
would 60 on fighting as long as there was a
soldier left to sacrifice, not only to save face
but in the hope of wearing the Allies down
and starting dissention among them when it
could expect to negotiate peace milder than
the unconditional surrender which Roose-
welt and Churchill at Casablanca named as
the only terms which they would call off
the Allied attack on the Axis.
The question:, then, is whether the Japanese
war party is to dominate the nations policy
until the home islands are puiverized and mil
lions needlessly killed The answer seems to
be shaping up, not only in Tokyo where the
merchant class is again reasserting itself
against further bloodshed, but possibly also
at Potsdam where the Big Three is studying
many problems and many believe Premier
Joseph Stain has some form of peace offer
from Japan more acceptable to the Allies than
any thus far rumored as having beer made
through other channels and where, too it is
thought the bald term unconditional surren-
der" is receiving foot-note explanation.

More Dentists Needed

The Philadelphia Record says the nations

by Senator Claude Peppers subcommittee
is: 238, 500, 900 needed tooth extractions, e32.-

ventive measures (prophylaxes), 3950OOOO
crowns and bridges, 100000 partial dentures
and 100000 dental disease treatments
1t sounds more like a bottleneck than a
backlog. And as such it takes a place among
the most serious in these war years. We can
get along without many things in this emer-
gency, but good teeth is not one of them
While the public clamors for mere DOCTORS
and is justified in so doing, it could we'll add
more dentists to it's demands.
