Big Three Agree On
 Regional Peace Meefs
 On European Problems
BY DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON, July 23 = The Big Three" have now made two important decisions regarding peace plans for Europe, according to un- censored di om a tic dispatches cabled to Washington. Instead of one big overall peace barley, they propose dividing the European peace problem into two parts:
 CD A separate peace conference for Italy;
 @ A separate peace conference for the Balkans and the satellite states, Bulgaria, Rumania, Yugo- slavia, Hungary and Finland.
 After these two peace conferences are held, the plan is to stage a third and final peace conference for the entire world. This, how ever. would not take place until after Japan has been defeated
 The above decision has been ten- tatively agreed to, according to diplomatic cables; but all conver- sations for the Big Three" Will be subject to review before the final communique is issued
 It is understood that beth Presi- dent Truman and Marshal Stain found themselves in complete agreement regarding the import ance of an early peace conference to settle Indian problems. but that Churchill was not too enthusiastic. The Italian peace conference will include the United States, Great Britain, Russia, France, Greece. Yugoslavia and Albania. It is not entirely definite whether Ethiopia will also participate. Ethiopia, the first victim of aggression in the prelude to World War II, is still occupied by British troops.
 The idea of a second peace con- ference, pertaining to the Balkans and other smaller European powers, results from proposal made by uuetl oildi otdliil ldot AHdy WiiCll iiC sent identical telegrams to Chur- chill and Truman regarding the recognition of Bulgaria. Rumania and Finland At that time, Truman suggested that the whole matter wait until the Big Three" could discuss the matter, although he did not object to the immediate recognition of Finland. Churchill telegraphed Stalin that he also felt the entire question should wait until the Big Three" meeting. However, the problem of ironing out ell the details of permanent peace among these smaller coun- tries of Europe is so complicated that it cannot be worked out at Potsdam; so it seems wiser to refer the matter to an entirely separate peace conference,

In all, the arrier pilots sank or damaged 2l ntmy vessels.

 No Opposition
 Significant of the total lack of opposition, the fleet today was op- slating in at least two widely sep- arated units. While one light force gentured farther into Tokyo's outer bay than ever before in this war, another light force of warships bombarded Chichi Jirna $50 miles southeast
 Seventy-five to 100 Superforts added to the clouds of flying debris today with 450-ton demolition strike on the Ube synthetic oil re- tinery on southwestern Honshu. Crewmen observed excellent re- suits and all planes returned.

 The enemy radio today placed the China coast high on Americas invasion plans-while in Washing ton, Maj. Gen. Allen Turnage, Di- rector of Marine Corps Personnel. acknowledged frankly that the greatest of all amphibious opera tions now are in the making
 Marines, he said, "are ready to go ashore wherever and whenever strategy directs. :"
 The Domei broadcast said landT ings on both China and Japan sare being planned: There are in- creasing indications that the enemy is rushing preparations for land- ms operations on the China coast side by side with his recently stepped-up moves in the direction Of a direct invasion attack on the Japanese mainland"
 In Manila, mere than 5000 Am trican troops from the German front disembarked yesterday, join- ing earlier arrivals to prepare for the Pacifics greatest D-Day.

MASS RAID I5 MADE BY
 U. } TROOPS
Every Single House in Am. erilan Occupation Zone
 of Germany Searched
By JAMES F. KING

FRANKFURT ON Tn..3 MAIN. 1rlv 23.-Half million American troops arrested upwards of 5000. persons and searched every single house in the American occupation
 ,e of Germany over the weekend, it was disclosed today.
 It was perhaps the greatest mass raid in history.
 The Americans were seeking weap- cns. ammunition and loot. Many of these taken into custody were mem- bers of the s. S., hunted as war criminals.
 The 100000 Germans in the American zone were caught com pletely by surprise and were bewild- cred and scared, but offered not the slightest opposition.
 Brig. Gen. Edwin L. Sibert of Vineyard Haven, Mass, head of the G-2 Division of U. s. Forces in the European theatre, lifted censorship on the raid today. He said that al- though orders for the raid were issued three weeks ago, perfect se- curity was maintained and not a word leaked out.
 Only two Germans tried to escape the search, he said, and at least one was shot to death.
 Sibert said considerable number of guns, ammunition and loot such as American uniforms, K-rations, gasoline and vehicles were uncover ed but that there was no sign of an organized German underground.

 POTSDAM, July 23-A broadcast U. s. surrender ultimatum to Japan was viewed by many competent ob- servers here today as a thinly yelled warning to the enemy that Soviet participation = at least to some extent--in the Pacific war is imminent.
 It was known here that the Saturday night short-wave broad cast from Washington was author ized by President Truman and was cleared in Potsdam at the little White House. Significance was at tached to the warning to Japanese that they would not be able to deal with the United States alone unless they surrendered promptly.
 President Truman's position now was squarely before the Pacific enemy as the Big Three conference entered it's second week. Victory over Japan is the Presidents prime ob- jective in this conference. Japan has been told that she must suffer the responsibility for any further hostilities when the time comes for postwar settlements.
 Meantime, as the President met daily with Prime Minister Chur- chill and Premier Stalin, unofficial

FOREST FIRES STILL RAGING OREGON AREA
Thousands of Men Struggle to Control Flames Aid-
 ed by Slight Rain

BULLETIN, PORTLAND, Ore, July 23-Despite rains and rising h u m ity, Oregon's forest fires gained against armies of fighters during the night.
 The huge Tillamook blaze in north western Oregon rOared through noaking rains to cover four more miles with spot fires that threatened to consolidate into the main conflagration. The burn new covers approximately 140 square miles-neal1y 9O,00O acres. More than 1000 fighters, including sol diers, sailors and civilians, were fighting it.
 PORTLAND, Ore, July 23-For- esters mapped new fire trails across paths of two Oregon fires today while almost 3,OO8 men struggled to control flames now quieted by one day of rain.
 Reports from stations in the TO- mile-square Wilson River fire zone indicated crews had slashed an ex- tensive maze of lanes on the south and northwest edges still advancing into timber and menacing lumber towns.
 Smoke has cleared and scouts last night cruised the area for the first close inspection of many areas on the blazing perimeter where more than 1888 soldiers and sailors worked with 500 loggers.
 This fire is as tough as ever, warned w. F. McCulloch, "and from now on it will be a race to extend trails before the weather takes the play from us again"
 He said it would have to rain a full week without let-up before foresters could relax on the Wilson River fire and the Salmonberry River -Nehalem fire which he said are now considered one major zone

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON = Gongressmen who have sat in the closed-door sessions of the Ways and Means Committee listening to testimony regarding Elliott Roosevelt now have counted up a total of ap- proximatcly $850,000 which he bor- rowed over a period of about eight years. Most of this he did not pay back.
 During one of these closed ses- eions, Congressman thought they ran across the clue as to why Jesse Jones was always so confi- dent he would not be fired by Franklin Roosevelt. In his battle with Henry Wallace over the Board of Economic Warfare, and during the anti-Roosevelt operations of bis nephew in Texas, Jesse always seemed cock-sure that his political future was absolutely safe.
 What the committee heard was the testimony of Deputy Internal Revenue Commissioner Norman Cam to the effect that Jesse Jones apparently had never collected from Elliott Roosevelt for the s40OO paid to settle the $200,O0o loan from John Hartford, head of the A and P chain stores. Cam testified that Internal Revenue agents who terviewe Jesse Jones understoo that Jesse has paid the $4,000 out of his own pocket.
 At this point in the testimony, one member of the committee re- marked: Good for Elliott! That's the first time I ever heard of Jesse getting trimmed
