win w. Pauley comedies with dis
closure today by well-informed
sources that official thinking in
Washington is swinging toward
"a more practical policy" on the
price Japan will have to pay for
losing the war.
The new thought on reparations
involves establishment of produc-
tion capacity levels which will en-
able Japan to start recovery 80

these people forever"
The source said the proposed
policy, as yet unannounced and

capacity figures-maximum and
minimum.
The maximum capacity figure
based on wartime production, is one

The minimum, which will not be
scaled lower, is level of economy
which Japan will be judged capable
Of maintaining within her own four

The establishment Of such min

war potential.
The Far East Commission, which
one source accused of being lag

known to want to send inspection
teams to Japan to check reparations
claims which will be entered by
various victor nations. The source
termed these claims high, even in

Reliable reports indicate the
Soviets will ask for reparations from
Japan for military actions, including
the Siberian Manchurian border

If Mr.. Pauley goes to North Korea

arguments anticipated on Russian
reparation claims.
Basis of Soviet Claim Unknown.
1t is unknown whether Russia will
enter her reparation claims on the
oasis OF inventories she herself sub.

and Manchuria, or on the basis of
inventories obtained by the Allied
command from japanese sources.
Mr.. Pauley said in statement
today that the reparationS program

He conceded that reparations esti-
mates proposed by the Nations
which defeated Japan were high, but
explained "the needs of those coun-

forward to more than they will get"
In reply to reports that Australia
was asking for the japanese wool in
dustry as a part of reparations,
Mr.. Panley said no ceramics, tex

listed as available for reparations.
He said the United States would

PARIS, Oct. .12.-Lt Gen. Walt CT B. Smith told the peace con- ference today that the United States was ready to back the trans fer of some Magyar-populated areas of Czechoslovakia to defeated Hungary, if necessary.

EASTERN GULF STRIKERS MAY FARLEY AGAIN
West Coast Commitment Is Dropped by CI0
 Marine Engineers
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

There is a possibility of resump- ton of negotiations in the l2-day old nationwide maritime strike after CIO marine engineers proposed to negotiate an immediate contract with the East Gulf Coast operators Earlier they had held out for a national agreement unless the mari time commission would make an ad- vance commitment that terms of any Eastern contract would apply to government-owned vessels on the West Coast. It was not determined immediately if the operators would accept the union offer
 The union proposal followed a breakdown of government sponsored negotiations in Washington. The strike has tied up more than 600 ships on all coasts. The CIO union and the AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots have sought wage increases of 35 and 30 percent respectively
 Pittsburgh's power and hotel strikes continued Representatives of four unions and the Duquesne Light Co.,, planned to meet with National Labor Relations Board of ficials to plan an election which will decide the collective bargaining agency of l,700 striking company workers.

CANADA L0GGERS STRIKE FOR BUSH
 CAMP PAY RAISE

TORONTO, Ont, Oct. 12.-Some 12,000 bush camp workers whose main job is cutting pulpwood for newsprint, struck today for a $5 daily minimum wage, union recog- hilton and improved working con- ditions
 It was believed that newsprint production would not be affected until next year. Newsprint and pulp mills normally have enough pulpwood on hand for winter oper- ations. Wood cut in the winter is sent down streams for shipment to the mills in the spring for use the following summer, fall and winter.
 The lumber and sawmill workers union rejected an appeal from the Ontario Labor Ministry to call off the strike and mediate. The bush camps are spread over wide and isolated areas, making it impossible to tell immediately how effective the walkout was.
