The House Military Affairs Com

AS his committee prepared to take
up the surplus property issue next

he favors President Truman's pro-
posal to give authority over the

Intentional VioIators
Face Court Action

Intentional violators' Of ra-
tioning and price laws face criminal
action instead of administrative
suspension of privileges to sell COM
modities, Carl w. Berueffy, OPA
District enforcement attorney, said
today.
Suspension orders are no longer
good sanctions against Intentional
violators now that much of the
rationing restrictions have been
lifted" he said.
Mr.. Berueffy said that where
intentional violators" were dis
covered, the case would be referred
to the United States Attorney for
criminal action.
He declared 'only current" cases
would be examined to determine if
criminal action is necessary. There
are approximately IS to 100 cases
current, but only a small number
will be referred for court action, he
added.
I'VE have no intention of going
back into our files for the past three
years to punish past violators," he
said, NOR do we intend to start
criminal proceedings against unin-
territorial violators."
Administrative proceedings against
seven restaurants were postponed by
Municipal Court until September II.
These will be tried either as ad-
ministrative or criminal cases." he
declared.

UNRRA Approves Aid
For Italy and Austria
EY the Associated PYess.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-Delegates to
the third UNRRA conference to-
day approved the controversial
American-backed proposal to send
aid to Italy and Austria, with the
only opposing vote coming from
Yugoslavia.
Russia previously had indicated
objections to helping Italy and it was
understood that the change in the
Soviet position was due to a re-
ported compromise in which aid
was assured for the Ukraine and
White Russia.
Yugoslavia objected to treating
Italy on the same basis as other
liberated nations.
The American resolution appar-
emily put Moscow in a delicate posi-
ton, since the Russians have been
trying to gain prestige and influ-
ence in Italy and at the same time
have developed friendlier relations
with YugoSlavia than any other
power. The Soviet delegation ap-
parently has been awaiting instruc-
tions from Moscow on the issue.

statement that the United States

from the Soviet magazine Novoe

Mr.. Byrnes on Saturday said ar
rangements for Bulgaria's August 26

from elements of fear of force and
intimidation. Newspapers yesterday
said the withdrawal from the race
of former ministers in an opposition
group, who sought postponement OF

/, In the Doolittle raid, 16 twin
engined Mitchell bombers took of
from the decks of the Hornet in
rough weather 300 miles at sea from
Tokyo. Participating in the raid
were 70 officers and men. They
struck Tokyo at noon.
The raid was a surprise and only
80 japanese planes rose to intercept.
Some of these were shot down.
After the Americans had unloaded
their bombs they dived to tree-top
level to avoid antiaircraft fire. Not
one of the planes reached the Chi
nese landing fields to which they
were all supposed to 60. The long
hight IN stormy weather drained
the gasoline reserves.
A majority of the men bailed out
and the rest crash dived. Most OF
them landed in unoccupied China
but two plane loads went down In
enemy-occupied territory and one
landed in Russia.
Details Secret for a Year.
Details of the raid were kept Sc

partment disclosed that eight of the

interest of the United States to

THE Foreign Economics admin
istrator furthermore is instructed to
negotiate with Allied governments
for possible procurement by them
of lease-lend inventories now in
stockpiles or in process of delivery.
IF the military needs lease-lend
supplies for movement of troops or
for occupation purposes, the mill
tary will be responsible for pro-
curement."
Mr.. Ross said that he could offer
no further information on the ter
mination beyond that contained in
the statement and said he did not
know what the status of reverse
lease-lend would be in the future.
The termination order ends the
flow of supplies so far as "give-away"
lease-lend is concerned. Goods Or
dered under lease-lend which some
of these countries will continue to
get by prior agreement, will have to
be taken on credit basis
But the countries without excep-
ton are short of dollars and none
too strong on credit because of the
impact of the war on their econ
omies.
Depend on Export Import Bank.
The official notices received by
foreign economic officials yesterday
invited them to discuss with their
American colleagues how their post
war purchasing programs may be
set up. At the moment, they may
obtain loans only from the Export
Import Bank, which has available
little more than $4,000, ,O00,0 900. In
its last year of operation lease-lend
funneled more than $4,000, 900 900
of military and civilian supplies
abroad
Eventually foreign buyers will be
able also to finance certain pur-
chases through the projected in
ternational bank with total credit
resources of $9.100, 100000. But that
institution probably will not be in
operation for a year.
Aside from the problem of trade,
the day of reckoning is at hand on
lease-lend settlements between the
United States and the recipient
countries. 1t is expected that goods
expended in the war will be written
off as a contribution to the Allied
victory.
But there are other items of man
ufacturing equipment which will
continue to be useful in the postwar
period. Payment almost certainly
will be requested for these.

That broadcast was in English.
Armed Forces Surrender Only
The Tokyo radio told Asiatic
listeners-in Japanese-that "un-
conditional surrender" in the Pots
dam Declaration, evidently meant
the unconditional surrender of
Japan's armed forces only-and
that the Allied occupation would
cover only "militarily or political
ly important points"
That broadcast could have been
designed to sooth the "hot-headed"
militarists referred to in earlier
English-language broadcasts which
limited that there might be internal
upheavals on occupation day. Ac-
ceptance of the Allied terms, the
English-speaking announcer said,
was resented by considerable por-
ton of the military men," and there
is no telling what unfortunate in
cidents may occur which might en-
danger the present delicate situa-
ton"
The Japanese government officially
informed Gen. Macarthur it would
be necessary to keep japanese armed
forces in the homeland for the
present, to maintain order. The new
premier, Gen. Prince Higashi-Kuni
broadcast an appeal to the Japanese
people Ito maintain strict discipline.
Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters
indicated his strong air, sea and land
forces will be ready for any emer-

however, that Japan's surrender

The United States already has

Mr.. Bloom told newsmen yester-

ing procedure of the United Nations

tration has proved grossly inadequate
and IN one case complete break
down in recording was threatened
it was disclosed at an UNRRA
Council meeting yesterday.
The failure to establish a salts
factory bookkeeping system was re-
vealed In a discussion of an auditors
report which made clear, however
that there was no charge of mis-
direction Of UNRRA funds or re-
sources.
The council had intended to vote
on the auditors report yesterday
but the Russian delegation OBJ.
jected, requesting more time TO,
study.
Lack Of Personnel Blamed.
The auditors report said unsatis.
factory accounting was due to the
lack Of competent personnel, pro.
cedure, communications and trans
portation.
The report blamed member gov
ernments for their unwillingness tc
comply with UNRRA's request for
personnel.
UNRRA officials said UNRRA
Director General Herbert H. Leh.
man already had taken some meas.
ures to improve UNRRAs financial
administration.
Russia May Use Veto.
Meanwhile, there were indica.
tions that Russia might use hel
veto power to block the addition OF
