DETROIT, Jan. 31.--Henry Ford II, president of Ford Motor Com pany, was on record today with a demand that the government re- move price controls to clear the path for the kind of operation that Americans like best - finding a way to make money by beating com- petition to market with something better and cheaper"
 Ford expressed his views in a telegram to John w. Snyder, director of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion in Washington with warning that unless his com pany could get steel promptly i've will have to close down completely sometime this week
 He declared it would cost $400,000 a day to maintain idle assembly lines and at current OPA price cell ings, we are currently losing $500 on every car we make"
 The youthful company president declared Nobody wants runaway imitation but if we continue to stifle American industry's ability to pro- duce. that is exactly, in my opinion what we gre headed for"

TO WELCOME BRITISH

TOKYO, Jan. 31.--General Mac Arthur extended a warm welcome to British Commonwealth troops who will share in the occupation of Japan and disclosed that their presence will enable a reduction in the strength of American forces in Japan.
 At the same time, he said offi- cially that while China and Russia were invited to provide contingents of troops, China replied that it is not in a position to do so and Russia had not accepted the invi- tation.
 "The present occupation forces in Japan extend the heartiest pos sible welcome to the British Com monwealth forces who are about to share with them the arduous and difficult duties which are involved" Macarthur said in his greeting.
 Their presence m aterially broadens the base along interna- tional lines of the burden which up to this time has of necessity been carried to large extent unilateral- ly by United States forces, and cannot fail to be of overall bene- ficial effect"

He pointed to the settlements in the auto industry and the Presidents steel wage proposal
 The board is expected to hand up it's wage recommendation on Satur- day.

MA5SACRE0F US. SOLDIERS
 IS REVEALED
Americans Throw Down Arms, Surrender,
 Then Shot Down
BY DANIEL DE LUCE

NUREMBERG, Jan. 31.-A Ger man officer used group of un- armed American prisoners of war for target practice as prelude to the cold-blooded execution of 12s captured soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge last winter, the Inter- national Military Tribunal was told today.
 The French prosecution introduc- ed a statement by Belgian civilians describing the massacre, which oc- cured at a crossroads near Saint With on Dec. 12, 1944.
 The Americans, defending the crossroads against a Nazi offensive, took to the ditches as German tanks approached, the statement said, and the tanks fired into the ditches un- til the Americans threw down their guns and raised their hands in sur render.
 They were led to field short distance away, where the Germans searched each man, taking watches, rings and other personal effects, the statement continued.
 Then a German armored vehicle was rolled up and it's guns trained on the group of prisoners. A Nazi officer mounted on the vehicle drew his pistol, aimed at the group and fired. One of the prisoners fell, the statement said.
 He aimed and fired again. An- otl:er American fell.
 As the second man went down, the statement went on, the machine guns on the armored vehicle opened up and sprayed lead for two or three minutes. Then the vehicle moved on and three others rolled past, machine gunning the knot of men, most of them already dead.
 Later, German soldiers walked among the Americans, finishing off the wounded the statement said
 "The shame of this deed will re- main upon the German army" it said. We knew these men were un- armed and had surrendered"

BIG ISSUES MAY BE SETTLED NOW
 BY C0MpR0MISE
Russian Iran Agreement May Lead 10 Settlement
 of Other Problems
By Jack Smith

LONDON, Jan. 3l.-United Na- tions delegates privately expressed hope today that the Security Councils compromise decision on the Russian-Iranian dispute might point the way to an amicable set- clement of the Greek and Indo- nesian cases which come before the Peace Agency tomorrow.
 Whether the latter two cases can be settled without UNO interven- tion, however, depends largely up- on the Russians, who filed com plaints with the Council charging the British were endangering the peace by military actions in Greece and Indonesia.
 The Russians, if they press the cases, will find themselves in the unique position of asking the UNO to act in the absence of complaints from the countries involved.
 Greeks To Argue
 Greek delegates. planning to be on hand when the questions come up, were ready to argue that Bri- tish troops are necessary in Greece to maintain order. The Nether- lands, as member of the 1l-na- tion council is known to favor the maintenance of British troops in Java; and even the unrecognized Indonesian government has ex- pressed the view that British troops should remain there until all Jap anese troops have been disarmed and removed.
 Soviet delegates have given no intimation of their position since the complaints were filed. Moscow radio, however. accused Britain to- day of exerting political pressure in Greece.
 A Russian commentator said Greece was in the throes of a national economic disaster" charged that the presence of Bri- tish troops hampered recovery and added that British troops have become a means of bringing pressure to bear on the political situation"
 The Council voted yesterday to permit the Soviet Union and Iran to resume direct negotiations on their dispute but reserved the right to call for progress reports on the discussions.

The Washing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-President Tru- man was having conference with some of his cabinet advisers the other day, including Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach. One adviser pulled out memorandum and was about to read it, when Truman said:
 Gan you summarize it?"
 T think I can, MT. President" :" the cabinet adviser replied. and proceeded to give an oral conden- sation of what was in the memo.
 Secretary Schwellenbach wa S next called on for his views, and also pulled out memo. Again the President asked if he could sum- marize it.
 I'm afraid I can't" replied the Secretary of Labor. T think if you don't mind, I'd better read this.''
 Truman, who likes short, quick discussions, said nothing. But here is the pay-off. AS Schwellenbach read through the memo, he found it was written by none other than John Steelman, the White House aid on labor relations.
 And the reason Schwellenbach could not summarize the memo was that he had not taken the time to read it himself before coming to the White HouSel
 Most cabinet members carefully organize their ideas before coming to the White House, in order to shoot fast during precious minutes they are with any President. But
