Chinese Reds Admit Error
In Charging U. 5. Attack
Nv tha Assaeiatsd Pas.

CHUNGKING, April % The
Chinese Communist party, through
its New China Daily News. today
admitted its charge that American
planes had strafed Communist lines
in Manchuria was a mistake.
The charge, the paper said, re-
suited from the use by the Chinese
National Government of non perma-
nent paint in covering the mark
ings of aircraft purchased from the
United States.
The statement followed the ex-
planation by Gen. George C. Mar
shall April %, in denying the Com
munist assertion two days earlier
that American planes had strafed
Communist lines and that one had
been shot down with an American
flyer in it.
Gen. Marshall investigated and
learned, he said, that the Amer
ican" flyer was a Chinese national
pilot dressed in flying suit pur-
chased from the United States.
Gen. Marshall recommended that
the National Government cover the
insignia of all purchased planes with
permanent reint coats.

Pilot Jumps 10 Safety
In lanham Plane Crash

Donald Donovan, "a. of 27l4

chuted to safety shortly before his
plane crashed off Firms lane, West
Lanham, Md, about II am. today.
Immediate cause of the mishap
was undetermined. The pilot and
the craft landed about 100 yards
from the home of Everett Gardner,
telegraph editor of the Washington

in tree and his calls for help were
heard by Mrs. Gardner, who sum-
moned police.
Mr.. Donovan dangled several feet
above the ground before freeing
himself. His parachute was re-
ported taken by souvenir hunters.
The fusilage of the plane came to
rest upright in group of trees
about one-half mile off the Defense
highway.
Oficials at the aircraft corpora

hope that Russia might reverse her

Philippines Food Problem
Not Acute, Hoover SAYS
BY the Associeted Press

MANILA, P. l.. April 29.-Herbert
Hoover said tonight the Philippines
food problem is not hard to solve,
but declared the world is facing one
of its greatest food crises in history.
The big problem, he added, is "to
get supplies distributed within the
next four or five months
Stopping briefly in Manila on his
world food survey for President
Truman, Mr.. Hoover told press
conference that ''it is a relief to
find a nation-the Philippines
whose food supply problem is not
hard to solve.
'"The Philippine people could ap-
parently get through until supplies
are available for the 1916 harvest
in the United States, with some
$4,000 to $4,000 tons of foodstuffs," /"
Mr.. Hoover said.
Mr.. Hoover conferred with Presi-
dent Osmena and United States
High Commissioner Paul v. McNutt
earlier in the day and met with
President-elect Manuel A. Roxas at
a formal dinner tonight.
He will fly to Shanghai tomorrow

NEW YORK (R.-Andrei A.
Gromyko, Soviet delegate, an
nounced today he would alb
stain from voting on an
Australian proposal for an in
veStigation of Franco Spain
by a subcommittee of the
United Nations Security
Council. The Soviet delegate
told the Council that he still
was opposed to the resolution.
Mr.. Gromyko thus cleared the
way for adoption of the Aus
tralian proposal for a COM
mission of five members of
the Council to investigate
charges against Franco Spain
and report back by May 81.

One of the present members
OF the Supreme Court will be
President Truman's choice to
succeed the late Chief Justice
Harlan Fiske Stone and the ap-
pointment is expected to be an
nounced early this week, pos
sibly tomorrow.
simultaneously, President Truman
is expected to designate a new
member of the court to take the
place OF the man who will be
elevated to the presiding spot.
That the President has made up
his mind on these appointments
was known definitely, but White
House conldants for the most part
refused to verify this speculation:
Cd That either Robert H. Jackson
or William o. Douglas will be moved
up to head the court and (2) that
Secretary of War Robert P. Patter-
son, Republican, will be added to
its membership.
Former Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes was scheduled to see

delegate over to the side of the
majority in the interest of unani-
nifty, but there was no evidence
that he was successful.
At the time Mr.. de la Colina
talked with Mr.. Gromyko, the
Russian delegate was understood to
have held firm to his position that
sufficient facts already are avail
able to prove that the Franco regime
is a menace to peace and that no
further investigation is necessary.
Wide Speculation on Veto Move.
Whether the Soviet delegate
planned to try to block the Aus
trallan resolution by invoking the
veto was a subject of wide specula-
ton over the week end, but Mr..
Gromyko remained silent on his
plans.
Some delegates agreed, however,
that this was possibility which
should be taken into consideration.
BY attempting to invoke the veto,
1t was pointed out, Mr.. Grcmyko
had little to gain beyond getting
the council involved in a lengthy
discussion of the controversial veto
question and delaying a final vote.
This, however, was a question
which the council would have to de-
termine, once the issue was raised.
The councils committee of experts
on rules and procedure has had the
whole veto issue under discussion
since last week, but has not yet ar
rived at definition of what con-
stitutes procedure" and what con-
stitutes questions of substance"
The sudden withdrawal of Col. w.

White House Concerned.
White House concern over the
dwindling coal supply was reflected
in the solemn deheanor of Recon-
version Director John w. Snyder,
who repeatedly told President Tru-
man that if the 100000 soft coal
miners remain out of the pits an
other two weeks the paralyzing ef-
feet of the strike will be felt all over
the country 1t already has hit the
steel industry hard, Mr.. Snyder told
Mr.. Truman. and coal is being bor-
roWed from some big railroads to
keep freight moving on some
smaller carriers.

mer Assistant Secretary of Labor
and now a vice president of the
Radio Corp. of America, was labor
adviser for the War Department
throughout the war and helped
settle New York's recent tugboat
strike
The coal operators have been idle
since April 10, when Mr.. Lewis
broke off the conversations with a
declaration that operators refusal
to commit themselves on his health
and welfare fund proposal made
further talks futile" The opera
tors insisted that the UNIV chief
make his wage and hour demands
clear and settle them first.
Believed Awaiting Crisis.
President Edward R. Burke of the
important Southern Coal Producers
Association said he thinks Mr. Lewis
intends to hold back until a crisis
develops in reconversion production
before he discloses his wage and
hour demands and that then they
will be more than any yet granted
to a major labor leader.
In this connection, James C. Pc
trillo, head of the AFL Federation
of Musicians, signed with eight
major Hollywood producers Friday
for a 80 per cent wage increase.
Some or all of this might be credited
to cost of living advances, repre-
sentative of the Wage Sterilization
Board said. The Government con-
siders that living costs rose 80 per
cent between January, 194l, and the
present. and the wage-price policy
gives blanket approval to raises to
offset living costs.
What effect, if any, Mr.. Petrillo's
80 per cent wage increase for his
Hollywood musicians would have on
Mr.. Lewis eventual wage demands
could only be guessed by the opera
tors.
