Jap Invasion U. $. From Manchuria By Balloon Brigade

TOKYO, July Is, -(PD-A Jap anese repatriate from Manchuria asserted today that at the end of the war Japan was preparing to invade the United States from Manchuria with balloon brigades ferried across the Pacific in man. carrying free balloons.
 Lance Cpl. Isamo Takgi, who said he was captured by the Rus sian army and escaped, told the story to Kyodo News Agency, add ing that the man-carrying bal looms, similar to the explosive carriers which were launched in great numbers, were perfected too late for use.
 The man-carrying balloons, Ta- kagi said, were in reality double units, one which was to be de- tached to permit the soldier to land on United States soil to car ry out sabotage.
 Takagi said he was with the Japanese forces in Manchuria, where 5000 of the explosive-car- rying type were released to be wind-borne toward the United States in the last three months of the war.
 A five square mile, under ground plant at Kirin was used for the balloon manufacture, he asserted.
 He said the balloons cruised at from 10000 to 10000 feet.

Says Veto Power Illogical

NEW YORK, July Is, -(P)-Dr. Herbert Evatt, Australian foreign minister, today attacked the veto procedure in the United Nations Security Council as ''undemocra- tic and unjust" and declared there must be mo veto" in the Paris peace conference.
 Evatt, who is retiring as chair man of the United Nations Atom ic Energy Commission, said in a broadcast heard here and in Aus tralia, that the illogical system of voting in the Security Coun- cil' is the most serious disability under which the United Nations is now working"
 Evatt, who sat in the Security Council and watched the Russian delegate invoke the veto power three times in one session on the Spanish issue, said:
 "It is a travesty of democratic procedures when any one nation can block the unanimous opinion of the remainder of a council of eleven when it is endeavoring solely to conciliate and adjust in- ternational disputes and situa- tions.
