kNUD5EN LEAVING
 JOB AS TOP ARMY
 TROUBLE SHOOTER
Production Boss Is Retiring from War Department
 Post on June 1

WASHINGTON, May 29 It. Gen. William s. Knudsen is leav- ing governmental service on Friday after five years devoted to spurr- ing the nations war production, the War Department announced to- day.
 Gen. Knudsen made no immedi- ate announcement on his future plans. The War Department said simply that it was expected he would go to Detroit for few weeks rest.
 Knudsen's resignation as War Department director of production becomes effective June l, five years to the day after he left the Presi- dency of General Motors Corpora tion at the request of President Roosevelt to take on the job of converting peacetime industry to war needs and the building of hun dreds of new plants.
 Knudsen, civilian who became three-star General in one jump, reached the Army retirement age of GA two years ago, but stayed on active duty by request until Ger many was defeated.
 He was regarded as the Army s No. l "troubleshooter" on the pro- duction front.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Ameri- cans were asked today to buy an extra War Bond on Memorial Day tcmorrow-not only to remember the dead but to care for the wounded.

FRANCE FACES USE OF FORCE
 IN LEvANT MIX
Lost Prestige Seems Alter native = Britain, U. 5.
 Seek AmiCabIe Solution
(By The Associated Press)

France apparently faced the un- happy choice today of standing firm in Syria and Lebanon even if it meant the use of force or of withdrawing from those Levant States and accepting a loss of pres tige as an imperial power.
 Both in London and Washington diplomats were seeking an amicable solution and striving to minimize violence which might further dis turb the delicate balance in the Middle East
 Backed by the Arab League, Syria and Lebanon appeared to be forcing a showdown. The two countries want complete independ- ence and no closer ties with France, which has held mandate powers there, than they are willing to make voluntarily with other na- tions.
 The French, on the other hand, desire to retain paramount posi- tion in the Levant such as that enjoyed by Britain in Egypt, Iraq and Palestine. The French Foreign Office wants to safeguard special interests deriving from long estab- lished financial and cultural con- nections.
 Fighting already has broken out in Syria at Hons and Hama be- tween French forces and natives protesting their presence, an d Syrias Acting Premier Jamil Mar dam Bey has expressed fears that a general clash might be near.
 It was estimated that more than 200 casualties had occurred at Hama.

TRUMAN ASKS CONGRESS TO BROADEN 55A
President Has 5-point Pro- gram for Unemployment
 Compensation Expansion

WASHINGTON, May 29-Presi- dent Truman has asked Congress for a broad expansion of unemploy- ment compensation, financed with federal funds, as an emergency measure.
 Objections on the score of cost, and questions as to whether the states would stand for it, were raised immediately by Congressmen.
 Asserting that i've may not have time available" to delay the issue pending a general revision of the Social Security laws, the President spoke of reconversion problems as the present emergency"
 Specifically. he asked for
 1-Maximum weekly payments of not less than $25.
 2-Coverage for "every eligible worker" for 26 weeks in any one year.
 3-Extension of the protection to federal employees, maritime work CTS. and workers in small estab- lishments.
 AFederal 4 appropriations to pay for the extra benefits and the broader coverage. 5-State administration.
 He said the government was in- curing a moral obligation in asking war production workers to remain on war jobs which they ultimately must lose"
 The President said present state standards, most of them providing maximum payments of SIS to SIS week, are clearly inadequate to protect unemployed workers against ruthless cuts in living standards, particularly if they have families

EMPLOYMENT
 SITUATION I5
 SUMMARIZED

WASHINGTON. May 29 = War demands will turn loose 4,800,000 workers and fighters in the next six months but fewer persons will be seeking jobs then than three months from now.
 WIPE Chairman J. A. Krug made these predictions today, estimating the decline in the number of work CTS during June, July and August at 100000.
 Joblessness during that time, he said, will jump about 100000 per- sons to around 100000.
 Krug said about 100000 of those to be released from war produc- tion in the next three months will continue or soon find employment in plants shifting to civilian pro- duction
 Six months from now" Krug continued in his monthly report on munitions production, "the picture will have changed more sharply. The number of persons no longer required for war activities will have increased to 4,800,000.
 AS of May 12, Krug reported. the 1945 munitions program had been slashed by $7000, 100000, leaving it at $55, ,000000,000.

FREEDOM OF NEWS PLAN PROPOSED
World Scheme 10 Be Submitted 10 Frisco
 Conference

SAN FRANCISCO. May 29.-The United States is planning new moves to promote worldwide news freedom, passing them in a general free speech declaration slated for adoption by the United Nations Conference.
 Freedom of speech is one of the four freedoms from the Atlantic Charter which is being written into the charter of a world organization. It's meaning was interpreted by Sec retary of State Stettinius in his writ ten report to the nation last night on he work of the conference, although in delivery the passage was omitted to save time.
 Freedom of speech" the Secretary said, encompasses freedom of the press, freedom of information and freedom of communications"
 Originally, Stettinius planned to seek here detailed agreement among the United Nations on prin- ciples of news freedom. His advis- CTS had some thought that he might use the Pan-American resolution adopted at Mexico City in March as a basis for calling for prompt end throughout the globe to wartime censorship, and pledging the Ameri- can governments ito promote free exchange of information among their peoples"
 j., Plans to have an equally detailed statement adopted here hit two snags: CD The United States delega- tion decided the charter should be limited to general statements of principals rather than to exact guarantees of specific rights (2) The edelegation and its advisers also doubted whether Russia would &C., cept at this time any other than vague congratulations of the ex- change of news.
 Stectinius set forth his personal views earlier this month in a pub iiS ASsoSi " q 6icuP VI SOiIOio dilu writers. He said he hoped the conference would, as slated, order creation of Commission on Human Rights to carry forward the work of expanding and winning adherence to the basic principles provided in the charter.
 You may rest assured" he wrote, that when such a commission is established, would earnestly urge, on behalf of the United States Gov ernment, that it should examine means of promoting freedom of communications. freedom to travel and freedom of access to sources of knowledge and of information.

CALLS FOR REDUCTION,
 ARMY UNITS
Congressm an Wants Prompt Discharge of All
 Soldiers Over 5

WASHINGTON, May 29-Chair- man May O., Kyl, of the House Military Committee, called today for prompt discharge of all soldiers over 35, except for key personnel.
 Now that our principal enemy has surrendered internationally, there should be more drastic re- duction in the armed forces than the Army has yet made" May de- clared in an interview.
 The Army last month announced plans to discharge enlisted men over 42 and followed that action May 21 by lowering the age to 40. It said at that time further age limit reduction was in prospect but that it could not be put into effect immediately without jeopar- dizing current operations or slow ing the release of combat veterans under the newly installed point system.
 The group over 35, May said to- day, should be released as soon as possible because most of them have families and business obligations and are the most costly to retain in the service because of vast sums of money being allocated to de- pendent wives and children"
 The best figures available May asserted, show that between l4,- 100000 and 14,5Oo,0OO men already have served in the armed forces during the present war, "and they are still coming in at the rate of 10000 a month"

YOKOHAMA BOMBED BY SUPERf0RTS
900 Persons Stranded by Flood af GaIena; Food
 Flown in by Navy Planes
By Olen Clements Press War Corresponds


 FLEET HEADQ TIERS, NORTH PACIFIC, May 25-CDe- layedD Navy search planes to- day were sent to the lower reaches of the overflowing Yukon River to rescue some 900 persons stranded around Galena, Alaska, by high water.
 The big river began to flood when an ice jam broke, releasing millions of tons of water into it's lower watershed.
 PBY planes-four engine craft used in the Pacific war to land on water and rescue Allied airmen and seamen cast afloat--were sent to the stricken area.
 Little information on the flood was available here, but it was as- stunned the threatened 900 included military personnel stationed in the area along the Boring Sea. It was understood food was being flown into the area from other bases.
