U. s. Sends Note To Yugoslavia

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. (P)- The State Department drafted a new note to Yugoslavia today in an effort to restore the flow of American information to that country. The Tito regime yester- day ordered the United States em- bassy in Belgrade to close down it's information service there.
 Although the contents of the latest American note remained temporarily undisclosed, officials said it calls attention to the fun damental facts of democratic life" Y" and re-emphasiZes this country'S stand for mutual exchange of in formation between the people of the world.
 Yugoslavia's action was taken in protest against distribution of an article critical of Marshall Titos' government. The U. s. em- basSy said that the article was re- produced on the information serV- ices multigraph machine without authorization by an unidentified government employee who has since been discharged.

Atomic Energy Commission
 Reopens Question

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept. 27. (P)-Encouraged by a last minute Russian decision which made possible a unanimous vote on a subcommittee report, the United Nations atomic emery com mission today prepared to reopen the whole broad question of inter national control of the atom bomb.
 The first actual step in setting machinery going will be taken next Wednesday when the No. 2 (politicaD committee receives the much-discussed report which won blanket approval yesterday in the commissions scientific committee. This move was expected to lead to early sessions of the commission itself.
 The 12-nation commission, still standing apart on the United States and Russian plans, has been in recess since July, when 1t asked the scientists to draft a re- port on the technical aspects of the question. For the last three weeks the committee has been marking time while the Soviet representative awaited MoscoW's apDrOIra1 of inc report

Macarthur Breaks Silence About Loss Of Manila Planes

TOKYO, Sept. 27. (P)-General Macarthur today broke his long silence regarding the loss aground of most U. s. airplanes in the Manila area on the very first day of the war with the statement: Our air forces were hopelessly outnumbered and never had a chance of winning"
 Macarthur was prodded into his long-awaited statement by charges made by It. Gen. Lewis H. Brere- ton, commander of the Philippine air force in 1941, in his book "The Brereton Diaries" recently pub lished. Accounts received there said Brereton wrote that he had requested permission of It. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland, then chief of staff, to assault Formosa. It was from Formosa that the Japanese bombers flew to attack the Phil ippines. Brereton said the permis- sion was withheld so long that the available small force of B-17 bombers was destroyed on the

A Drastic Order Is Anticipated By Japs

TOKYO, Sept. 27. (P)-Specula- ton that a major policy pro- nouncement by General Macar- thur is in immediate prospect gained credence today in both oc- cupation and Japanese circles. A flood of rumors and at least one newspaper article dWelt on the possibility of a purge of economic leaders.
 Throughout more than a year of occupation, there has been much speculation among Japanese that Macarthur eventually would deal with financiers and industri- alists, whom many felt were CO., workers of the militarists, if not manipulators, in Japan's aggres- sion.
 Interest in the subject goes be- yond mere punishment for past acts, however; the entire future of Japan unquestionably will be geared to the gate of those who at present, as in the past, control the economic situation.

 MacArthur replied that Ameri- can fliers could not have attacked Formosa before the Japanese planes wiped out the Philippine based bombers on the first day of the war. His statement was issued to the press in reply ot questions regarding Brereton's book.
 General Brereton never recom- mended an attack on Formosa to me and I know nothing of such a recommendation having bee n made" Macarthur stated flatly. "In the short interval of time in volved, it is doubtful that an at tack could have been set up and mounted before the enemy's ar rival"

Hearing For Cut In Lighterage Rates
 Opens In Nome

The hearing by the U. $. Mari time Commission into the rates and tariffs of ships anchorage to shore at ports along the Boring Sea coast of Alaska, was begun Thursday morning in the court room of the federal building.
 Lomen Commercial Company of Nome is being represented by Ira D. Orton, local attorney and s. J. Wettrick, Seattle attorney.
 Representing the people in the hearing are David E. Scholl, at torney for the Alaska Develop ment Board, Ralph J. Rivers, At torney General of the Territory of Alaska, and George w. Rogers, Territorial Price Executive for the OPA.
 The U. s. Smelling Refining and Mining Company is being represented by the company at torney Omar o. Victor, of Boston.
 The case opened with a report of findings by MT. Rogers. in his survey of the lighterage company books which were made available to him, and through contact with numerous merchants.
 MT. Rogers entered the OPA eX- hibit to illustrate the importance of lighterage costs in relation U the cost of landed goods at Nome. He stated that his data wa con piled from actual invoices and shipping bills, and if desired would furnish copies of same for the records. MT. Rogers states that high lighterage costs, coupled to already high steamship rates, is a serious handicap to the develop ment of the area.
 In giving his report, MT. Rogers stated that his study of the real labor costs projected by the re- spondent, Lomen Commerc a Company, were apparently req sonable, but were somewhat lower than the figure used by the com pany to compute the cost psr ton for handling, but considered it not a fair basis for judging the reasonableness of the rate struc- ture.
 The report of the OPA execu- tive referred to an increase of 400% increase in the superintend- ent's salary since 1888; travel ex- penses increased 350Fc; consider able increase in repair costs to equipment mad high depreciation accounts.
 The OPA report also went to great length regarding the increase in officers salaries of the lighter age company which paid 500% more in l946, (estimated) than in 1888, and although "other salar- ies" have doubled they could seemingly be allowed in part.

For CUNTS In Argentine

some new toys, but not too many,

The birthday cake, however,
will be monumental affair.
There will be center tower

smaller individual cakes ar
ranged around it in a sort of seal
loped formation. Each of the in
dividual cakes will have its own
three candles and the name of
the owner: Franco, Jr., Maria

Esther and Maria Cristina.
This was the design worked
out for their second birthday. 1t
gives each one his own set of
candles to blow out - not that
they had much success along that
line last year. Diligenti hopes it
will be better this time.
