Jops Leave BoIikpopon
BY HUGH CRUMPLER

Manila, June 25 CUP) Radio Tokyo reported today that Japanese civilians have been evacuated inland from the Borneo oil center of Balik- papan, where landing attempts were reported previously
 Enemy broadcasts told of new in. vasion preparations around the rich oil center as the American drive to clean up northern Luzon in the Philippines gained impetus by the first full-dresS airborne invasion of the Pacific war.
 The enemy's advance to the Ba- llkpapen area had been anticipat- ed,' said Tokyo. The broadcast re- ported that food preparations and defense setups had been completed. and civilians had been evacuated further inland"
 Tokyo added nothing new to yes- terday's reports of Handing at. tempts which the Japanese claimed had been checked"
 Today's communique from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters reported that over 150 planes carry ing more than 200 tons of bombs raided the Balikpapan area.
 Bitter fighting ragged in the Co., gayan valley of northern Luzon after the 11th airborne division dropped parachute troops and-for the first time in the Pacific blider-borne units at the northern gate to the valley.
 Some sixty miles to the south the 37th division was fighting its way to the rescue of a guerrilla force grimly hanging on to Tuguegarao, capital of Cagayan province. The Japanese savagely counter attacked the guerrillas. The 37th had gained nine miles by Saturday night to . point ten miles from the besieged town

Reds Revert 7rioI Stand

London, June 25.-(UP)-A Brit iSh foreign office spokesman said
 today that Russia, reversing her previous stand, has decided to send two representatives to London for a conference on the trial of major NaN war criminals.
 The conference will open in Lon- don tomorrow with delegates present from the United States, Britain and France in addition to Russia.
 The four countries will discuss procedure and a date for trials of Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering, former German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, former Deputy Fuehrer Rudolf Hess and 100 or more other high Nazis.
 Russia at first had ignored invita- tions from the United States and Britain to send a delegation to Lon- don, but apparently changed her mind almost on the eve of the open ing of the conference.
 Robert H. Jackson, supreme court justice and chief American prosecu- tor of war criminals, will represent the United States. He has proposed that all top war criminals be tried simultaneously on a charge of con- spiracy before the end of summer. Britain endorsed the proposal.
 The Russian delegate will be I. T. Nikitchenko, deputy president of the Soviet supreme court, and Prof. N. Trainin, M. Falco. counselor of the court of cessation, will represent France.
 The British delegate is Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, British attorney-gen- eral.
 Both Russia and France will be asked to approve the American plan for a mass public trial. Under the plan, jurists representing each of the big four will sit in judgment on the war criminals.
 The Russian agreement to partici- pate in the conference was taken as another sign of improved rela- tions among the western and east ern Allies.
 Behind the Russian decision may be the fact that all the main Nazi | leaders are in American or British | hands.

United Group
 To Seize All
 Nozi Patents
BY JOHN L. CUTTER

Washington, June 2-UP)-Jhe United Nations are now engaged in ruthless campaign to stamp out German economic spearheads in neutral European and Latin Amer ican countries, Senate Committee was told today.
 Assistant Secretary of State Will liam L. Clayton gave Senate Mili- tary Affairs Subcommittee detailed evidence of German plans to con- duct economic infiltration of other nations during the period of Allied occupation of their homeland.
 He said this country, along with other nations, is now conducting a campaign against that economic in- filtration by which the Nazis hoped to return to power.
 In Latin America, for instance, Clayton said that the United States had eliminated" or was in the process of eliminating" 654 out of 846 known "spearheads of Axis economic penetration.
 In neutral European countries he said the Allies had used this coun- try's economic position to thwart Nazi plans to gain postwar foot holds. Among accomplishments he listed a Swiss law blocking German accounts and providing census of German property; a Spanish decree freezing control over assets of cit izens of Axis or dominated countries; a similar decree in Por- tugal and satisfactory progress" for like action in Sweden.
 The United States is convinced that German cartels played a great part in the rearmament Of Ger many after the last war. Clayton told the committee that first steps have been taken toward the dissolution of German international combines He anticipated that Ger man investments even in neutral countries would be claimed by the Allied control council or the Allied commission.
 He said the United Nations would seize all German-owned patents on developed both before and during the war, thus at one time making German technical de- velopments available to the United Nations and removing the main in- ducements for other nations to en- ter into cartel arrangements with

MANCHURIA JAP
 TROOPS PINNED DOWN BY REDS
BY RAYMOND LAIR

Washington, June 9 = (UP)-The United States is supplying lend-lease aid to Russian forces in Siberia who are pinning down strong Jap anese forces across the Man. churian border, it was dis closed today. Shipments to European Russia have been halted.
 Foreign Economic Admin istrator Leo T. Crowley re- vealed details of the shift in lend-lease emphasis for Rus sia in testimony made public today by the House Appro- priations committee.
 The committee recommended dc. ficiency and supplemental appropr1- ations totaling $3,134, 900 ,0O0-more than 99 per cent for war purposes for the 1944-45-46 fiscal years. The total represented a cut of ST. 100000 from budget bureau esti- mates.
 Crowley also disclosed that:
 l. No funds will be needed dur. ing the 1946 fiscal year for lend- lease aid to Latin America, North Africa and the nations of eastern Europe and the Balkans.
 l. Lend-lease aid to France, Bel gium and the Netherlands in con. nection with redeployment will end about next Dec. 31 and those coun. tries will be asked to pay for sub- sequent assistance except that for prosecution of the Pacific war.
 3. The Administration wants the export-import bank to supply credit for foreign rehabilitation purposes because lend-lease funds will not be used.
 Program Explained
 Explaining the program for Rus. sia, Crowley told the committee:
 Although the Soviet Union has not declared war against Japan. lend-lease aid is being continued to the Soviet Union as long as, and to the extent that, in the opinion of the President and his highest military and strategic advisers, 1t is of military advantage to tho United tSates.
 The possibility of Russias entry into the war against Japan acts to pin down in northern Manchuria large numbers of Japanese troops which might otherwise be diverted against the American, British, Chi nese and other Allied forces in the

More Food Promised
By DEAN w. DITTMER

Washington, June 25-(UP)-The OPA was headed for year of mod flied activity today. The govern ment promised civilians more food and revealed the cost of living had risen seven- -tenths of one per cent.
 Legislation extending the OPA's life year beyond its present June 30 expiration date has passed both Houses. Both the House and Senate wrote restrictions into their mea- sures. Wide differences in the na- ture of these curbs must be ironed out in conference between the two bodies
 Chairman Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, of the Senate Agriculture committee hoped to eliminate one of those differences today by ob- taining an immediate Senate vote on the House-approved Andersen amendment. The amendment would make all government food regula- tions subject to approval by the Secretary of Agriculture.
 Other major disputes centered around the house-approved Dirksen amendment making OPA regula- tions subject to court review and the Senate-approved Wherry amendment requiring farm prices to reflect production costs plus a req sonable profit.
 Advance indications were that the Wherry and Dirksen amendments would be scrapped in conference and that the Andersen amendment (Continued on Page D

Pearl Harbor, June 25.-(UP)-At least six Allied air forces battered the Japanese today from their homeland to the far corners of their stolen empire.

 In another preview of things to come, American troops made their first full-dress airborne landing in northern Luzon, where the battle for the island was drawing toward an end. For the first time in the FaclHc war, gl1derS, as well as para chute troops, were dropped in enemy territory.
 The airborne troops quickly gained ground after their landing, link ing with force to the north at Aparri, and gaining two miles to the south.
 Farther down the Cagayan val ley, the 37th Division gained nine miles in drive to relieve the guer rilla troops holding Tuguegarao, capital of Cagayan province. They were within 10 miles of the guer- rillas, who fought of fierce enemy counter a ttacks.

CONFERENCE MAY REJECT
 FRENCH PLEA
BY R. H. SHACKFORD


 San Francisco, June 25- (UP)-France injected the extraneous issue of Syria and Lebanon into the Unit ed Nations Conference to- day only a few hours before the arrival of President Tru- man for a dramatic climax Of this nine-weeks-old meet ing.
 Weary delegates of 50 na- tlons and the city of San Francisco were prepared to give the president a rousing welcome when he arrives here late today. He will ad- dress the closing meeting of the conference tomorrow night.
 The conference meets in plenarv session at 9:30 o'clock CPWT) to- night to give formal approval to the new world charter. But meanwhile It experienced new furry of ex- cltement as result of Frances re- quest that a three man commission oe set up here to investigate the dispute in the levant. Even the rIencn admitted however, that it might be outside the authority of this conference.
 The request, made to Secretary o1 State Edward R. Stettinius. ,Jr, as one Of the four presidents of the conference. probably will be reject ca. NO one-not even the French would let it delay tomorrow's ad- Journment plans.
 Embarrassing
 But 1t was potentially embarrass- Ing for the big four sponsoring powers since it placed them in the light of rejecting at the birth of sa2 ne'v organization a request for conclliation in a dispute. Actually. tnn conference has no power to set up such commission. especially one to deal with a bitterly-disputed political question. The work of this conference is dore. The charter is no.1 in the hands of the printer. Only the clos- ing ceremonies remain "plenary sessions approval of the charter tonight, the signing of the docu- | ment in specially-built, Hollywood like, flag-draped setting, and MT.

 The new world charter will be- come effective when it has been rattled by the governments of the big five and majority of the 45 other nations
 A separate agreement will be sub- mitted to the delegates for their signatures along with the charter tomorrow. It will set up "prepara- tory commission" to sit in London and act until the charter has been ratified and the new world organi- zatlon has met and elected a sec- Each nation will be represented on the commission.
