Washington, May 25 - (UP) A United States official of cabinet level said today that government and military authorities are "com- pletely agreed" on Soviet Russia's lend-lease status.
 Military security considerations, he said, prevent any disclosure of the nature of the policy decided on.
 Russia is neutral in the Pacific war and her pipeline of American lend-lease munitions for use in Eur ope has been cut off for nearly two weeks. Shipments still are going to the Soviets, however, by way of the Pacific.
 The big Russian lend-lease read justment already has begun to be felt at home. Suspension of alcohol shipments to the Soviets has made possible renewed liquor production in the United tSates. Alcohol is a vital component of explosives. The government official, who de- sired to remain anonymous, brushed aside reports that 8 split had de- veloped in top government and mil itary circles oyer lend-lease policy

Big 4 Not
 To Soften Veto Power
(NEA Telephoto)
By R. H. sHACKFORD

San Francisco, May 25-(UP)- The United States, Britain, Russia and China stood pat today against any "softening" of their veto power In the new world organization.
 They were ready to reject de- mands of the little" United Ma tions to liberalize the Yalta voting formula for the proposed security council.
 For two days and two nights the big powers have been studying P questions submitted by the little nations seeking modification of the voting formula through informal in- depreciation.
 The Big Four have decided not to answer the questions directly Instead, they will issue general statement on the voting formula which will repeat the position held ever since Yalta-that the big pow CTS must have the right to veto virtually all decisions and action by the security council.
 Technical experts of the Big Four have agreed on that interpretation of the voting formula. The four delegations are expected to approve it today with the possibility thai their answer" to the little power! will be ready by tonight.
 The major question now t whether the little powers, rebuffec in their request for answers to theil 22 questions, will continue to pres their demands and force showdown votes in committee and commission The big powers are prepared fol that. They were reported conflden of being able to muster enough votes to beat down any amendment! designed to whittle away their vett

INSTALLATIONS BLOWNUP jAPBROADCAST
BY WILLIAM F. THREE

Guam, May 25. UP) - Organized Japanese resist ance collapsed in southeast Okinaw today, but an enemy colnmunique sai d Japanese air-borne suicide troops landed on two Amer ican-held airdromes on the island last night and blew up numerous installations.
 Radio Tokyo also predicted that American troops soon would attempt a landing on Amami Island, 115 miles northeast of Okinawa and 1855 miles south of Japan proper.
 Depots Blasted?
 The enemy account of the surprise attack on the American air bases said the air-borne units promptly blasted grounded aircraft, munitions depots and airfeld installations in rapid succession"
 They are achieving great results by throwing the enemy into confu- sion," the communique, broadcast by the Tokyo radio, said.
 Tn concert with this attack, our special attack (suicide) air corps is now fiercely assaulting the enemy surface craft in waters around the main Okinawa Island
 Tokyo said yesterday that 50 ad- ditional transports and a new task force built around six aircraft car riers has arrived off OkinaWa to reinforce the 10th Army boosting the number of American ships of the island to more than 400. | The Japanese did not say how their suicides@yoopsr were supposeo I to have landed on Okinawa, though it likely was by parachute.
 The con1munique identified the airfelds under attack as the North and Central presumably Yontan and Katena, captured in the first few days of the American invasion of Okinawa.
 Pacific fleet headquarters was silent on the Japanese claim, but 1t was recalled that the Japanese dropped paratroops behind the American lines on Leyte on similar missions of destruction. All were quickly mopped up. A front dispatch reported the col lapse of Japanese resistance in south east Okinawa. This exposed strongly held Shuri and Naha to assault from the rear.

Forts Hit Yokohama
By RICHARD JOHNSTON

Guam May 25 - (U.Po - Jap anese broadcasts said 60 Mustang fighters and small group of Super fortresseS attacked the Tokyo-Yo- kohama area for 50 minutes at mid- day today.
 Practically no damage was done" Radio Tokyo said.
 If the enemy report were true, it was likely the planes were en- gagged primarily in photographing the destruction resulting from yes- terday's record 4,500-ton Superfort- ress fire raid on the enemy capital.
 Smoke obscured the target area, Tokyo's Shnagawa industrial wa ter-front for at least 12 hours after the raid, but Tokyo broadcasts con- ceded that the attacks had disrupt ed railway schedules throughout Honshu and destroyed numerous buildings.
 Through the Shinagawa Railway yards normally pass one-third of all Japanese railway traffic. lContinued on Page 0

SUPREME COURT:
Award Miners

Drawn after laborious parley be-
tween companies and union repre-
sentatives, the new soft coal contract
was clouded by Supreme court de-
cision holding that miners were en-
titled to pay for full underground
travel time under the wages and
hours law.
Thus, the high courts ruling up
set the new contracts provision that
such pay was to be made on the
basis of an average of all miners
underground travel time, and at
the same time allow for reexami-
nation Of the pact.
In line with a previous Supreme
court verdict covering iron ore
miners, the latest decision came at
a time when negotiations between
hard coal miners and operators had
bogge over differences in under
ground travel pay.

bootlegging and inaccurate apprais-
al of existing stocks have all played
hand in the growing shortage.
Though operators inability to Sc
cure sufficient help to harvest sugar
beets and bootleggers' use of illegal
supplies of the commodity have con-
tributed to the tight situation, the
committee found, the industry's in
dication that adequate stocks ex-
listed led to consumption Of about
300, 900 tons more last year than
originally allotted.

Under the present plan, which
is of an interim, nature until a
more specific system can be
worked out for each branch of
the service, SO out of every 100
men released will be overseas
