Complete Wallace Text
Cleared for Jap Papers

TOKYO, Sept. 18 (Py.-The COM
plete text of Secretary Wallace's
foreign policy speech was cleared to-
day for publication in japanese
newspapers after higher authori-
ties" approved several main sections
that had been deleted by Gen. Mac
Arthur'S civil censorship officer
1t was reliably reported that the
higher authority was headquarters
official who rescinded the censorship
when the matter was brought to his
attention.
Censorship authorities of the Su-
preme Commander, Allied Powers
Gen. MacArthur) following estab-
lished press code for the japanese
press, had originally observed their
routine procedure of deleting unof1-
clal expressions of opinion which
reflected adversely on any Allied
power or its policies, his public re-
lations officer explained.
Since it was not clear that the
statements in this address, critical of
Allied policies, had official sanction
in the United States, they were de-
leted as matter of course. Official
statements made on a governmental
plane by the spokesman of any AL
lied power are never censored, re-
gardless of their contents.
In this instance, because the
address was made by a United States
cabinet member, the full speech was
ordered cleared for publication in
the japanese press as soon as the
matter was brought to the attention
of higher authority"

Probers Will Take Up
.UNRRA Priorities
By tho Associoted Pres.

Chairman Slaughter of the House
Surplus Property Investigating Com
mittee told the War Assets Admin
istration today it has no authority
to grant priorities to UNRRA or
other international organizations
for acquiring surplus materials.
The issue arose when William G
Williams, 10, of Washington. self
styled plain American citizen, -
protested sending some ice-making
machines to Yugoslavia shortly
after two American planes were shot
down in that country.
In letter today to Robert M.
Littlejohn, War Assets administra-
tor. Mr.. Slaughter said that when
the committee meets next Monday
he intends to bring the priority
matter before it for such action
and recommendation as the men,
bers may deem appropriate"
The committee has authority only
to make recommendations for ac-
ton by Congress.
Mr.. Slaughter said counsel for
WAA sought to find authority for
priorities to UNRRA and 10 other
international organizations in Ian
guage of the International Organi-
cations Immunities Act.
TO- stretch the terms" of that
act Ito cover the problem here under
discussion is not warranted by

connect with an existing low-level
pressure main. While the main it Is
desired to extend is on a gh-level
pressure circuit it would be tenn
porarily changed to low-level pres
sure in order to provide more water
for Anacostia, a low area, officials
said.
Emphasizing that suction pressures
at the Anacostia Pumping Station
are dangerously low" during times
of great demand, Water Department
officials said the proposed hookup
would be a stopgap for additional
larger mains to serve Anacostia.
However. it was pointed out that
the temporary transfer from high
level to low-level pressure of the
East Capitol street main would in
turn require reinforcement of the
Capitol Hill area, high-level pres
sure region. with trunk main near
its southern extremity. Moreover,
it was said, portions of the low-level
pressure area adjoining this south
ern extremity of the Capitol Hill
zone would be shifted to high-level
pressure in order to increase their
water pressure. To carry the re-
sultant increased load, the depart
ment would extend another main
from Fourth and B streets NE. to
and D streets Sc.
The sum of $1,905, 900 was re-
for operating expenses of
the water system of the city proper,
$562,000 of which would go toward
payment of employees.

Secretary of State Byrnes.
They represented Mr.. Wallace as
a leading American spokesman for
peace and "a friendly understand

The Red Army's official Taegliche

The Russian licensed Berliner
Zeitung said Mr.. Wallace advocated
"a friendly understanding with the
Soviet Union instead of the present
Tolicy of stubbornness which newt
