BY the Associafed Rrsss

SANTOS, Brazil, May l3.-Spe-
cial police today arrested 81
stevedores who refused on April
l8 to unload a Spanish ship, and
rounded up number of Com
munists" as the federal gov
ernment frightened its control
over Santos, the worlds largest
coffee port.
The Government seized the port
yesterday after Labor Minister
Negrao Lima asserted that Santos
was being subjected to terrorism by
foreign elements.
CA dispatch from Rio de
Janeiro yesterday described the
seizure of the port of Santos as
the governments first move in
a long = threatened campaign
against Communists.)
Police continued to occupy head
quarters of the stevedores syndi-
cate, which Lima ordered closed for
six months, and continued the ban
on public meetings. Port opera

The labor ministry recently en-
ployed police to force dock workers
to unload Spanish ships after the
stevedores had refused to work on
vessels flying the flag of Franco

TOKYO, May 13.-Argument that
Japan did not surrender uncondi-
tionally and does not have to obey
every Allied command was presented
today to the Far East Military Tri-
bunal by the chief defense counsel
for Japan's major war criminals.
Attorney Ichiro Kiyose's challenge
that the court lacks authority to
try the % defendants on 55 counts
was taken under advisement as the
tribunal adjourned until tomorrow
morning.
The Allies chief prosecutor
Joseph B. Keenan,, labeled Kiyose's
argument as the height of absurd
ity" and offered documentary evil
dence that Japan's surrender was
utterly without condition"
Kiyose said that in giving the
tribunal jurisdiction over crimes
against peace and crimes against
humanity Gen. Macarthur is exer-
cising authority which he does
not possess and the japanese people
are not bound to obey that order
Japan's top statesmen, Kiyose said
agreed to surrender in the belief
they would not be prosecuted as wal
criminals.
The attorney declared that in the
surrender last September, Japan
recognized that she would obey
orders and directives of the Allied
powers but only those in accordance
with the Potsdam declaration of las,
July.
Mr.. Keenan,, in contending the
surrender of Japan was utterly anc
entirely without condition" declared
that examination of Japanese com.
munications delivered to the Swiss
government at the time of surrende,
would show 1t was without condition
He turned to the surrender ulti.
matum prepared by the Allies at thu
Potsdam conference for further sup.
port for his argument.

OF Schooling Pay Delay

Veterans Administration investi-

this week to find out whether dis
abled veterans have to wait months
for their checks when they transfer
from one school to another, it was
learned yesterday.
Disabled veterans taking the ma

when they leave here for the next
step in their training, the transfer
of their records is so delayed that
they have no money to live on for
months.
Brig. Gen. H. B. Lewis, administra-
tive adviser to Gen. Omar N. Bradley,
Veterans Administrator, said Satur-
day that he believed the transfer of
records could be speeded or checks
could be authorized while records

Framing 0PAheasure
To Take Two Weeks,
Mi|Iikin Estimates
BY the Assoeioted Pre.s

Senator Millikin, Republican,
of Colorado estimated today that
the Banking Committee of which
he is member will need at least
two full weeks to frame price,
control legislation.
OPA expires June 80 unless Con-
gress acts.
Chairman Wagner called the COM
mittee into closed door session to-
day after weeks Of open hearings,
asking the members to decide on a
general course of action. It was con-
sidered probable that special sub
committees might be named to deal
with various phases of the complex
problem.
Meanwhile, the Republican Senate
leadership was surveying the posi-
bility of getting party members be-
hind control program of their own.
The plan is to unite first within
the committee, then attempt to get
unified backing among other Re
publicans.
Republicans, led by Senator Taft
of Ohio. are insisting that the pro-
gram must be mapped to taper off,
the present $1,000, ,000,0 a year of
Government spending to hold down
retail food prices. The House voted
to end them by January l..
Almost half of the food subsidy
money goes for meat. OPA officials
contend removal of all subsidies
would mean an increase of S to 6
cents pound In meat prices and Of
l cent loaf on bread. Some canned
goods also are subsidized.
Indicating willingness to COM
promise, OPA Chief Paul Porter told
the committee when hearings closed
Friday that he would accept a Is
per cent reduction in subsidies. Mr..
Porter is to discuss the subject
further during the closed sessions
when the committee puts together
the measure it will report to the

Gauges Help Locate
Six Buried ManhoIes

Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission workers today had
completed the task of locating six
manholes which had been COM
pletely covered on three Chevy
Chase streets when the thorough
fares were resurfaced.
The manholes were located with
the aid of special mine detector-
like gauges with magnetic needles
which dip" when the gauges are
held over metal close to the surface
Commission employees last week
found no manholes during a routine
inspection of Quincy, Primrose and
Oxford streets. Using the gauges
they located two manholes on each
of the three streets and raised them
to street level after digging, in some
instances. as far as Is inches below
the surface.
Harry r. Hall, chief engineer OF
the commission, said the gauges
had been in use for years.
There was no indication of when
the resurfacing work was done, Mr.

Three Out Of Five Due
Rebate on Income Tax
By the Assoeioted Press

Internal Revenue Bureau officials
estimated today that about three
out OF every five persons who made
tax returns on 1945 income will get
a misunderstanding over $40-and
that the repayments probably will
be completed by July a.
Approximately 10000 900. of the
SO, 900 600 persons who made income
returns will get back around $780,
600, 900, it was estimated.
Last year 81 900 900 got 81 100 ,0OO,-
600 on 1914 income taxes in a re-
funding operation that required
about seven and half months and
cost the Government $1,000, 900 in
interest charges.
This year the bureau hopes to cut
the interest bill at least $4,000, 900
through the refund speedup. The
interest charges, which amount to
one-half of l per cent a month,
began running April / on 1945 re-
turns, which were due March Is.

Marshall Given Veto
Over Loan 10 China ,
To Back u. ). Policies
BY the Associated Press

Gen. George C. Marshall is
holding an absolute veto over a
$500,000,000 American loan to
China.
1t is one of the strongest grants
OF power ever made by President
to an American envoy to back up
United States policies in foreign
country.
The Chinese loan is cited by diplo-
matte authorities as a striking ex-
ample of the extent to which Pres
1dent Truman and Secretary of State
Byrnes have carried their new pol
Icy of bargaining for American aims
with American dollars.
Polish Credits Suspended.
In another application the State
Department has suspended credits
to Poland-involving $4,000 900 in
, cash and surplus war property-un-
til it can determine whether the
Polish government intends to grant
promised political freedoms.
Some decision on the Polish situa-
tion may be forthcoming this week.
Under investigation chiefly are
charges that the Communist-domi-
mated Polish government has a CEN
sorship on outgoing political news,
which Polish diplomats here deny,
and that it withheld from the Polish
people word of the political freedom
pledges it made to get the American
money.
On still another financial front,
Treasury Secretary Vinson, French
Negotiator Leon Blum and Export
Import Bank officials may make the
financial decision this week neces-
sary to release about $650,00o, 900 to
France and make available war
goods and other credits to give the
French a total assist of substantially
more than $1,200,000,000.
Timed for Political Effect.
While officials are wary on the
subject, every indication is that
the timing of the loan announce
ment will be made with an eye to
maximum effect on the French elec-
tions in June. Privately, American
officials make no denial that they
would like to strengthen Foreign
Minister George Bidault's Popular
Republican, movement and Leon
Blum's Socialist party against the
Communists.
In the case of China, the loan is
being used directly for political ef-
feet. When Marshall was sent to
China last December Mr.. Truman
announced that the United States
would regard financial aid for China
favorably to the extent that the

present Russian influence in Europe
And the Russians are not cooper

other occupying powers in Germany
They are running their own show
blithely and confidently and some
times even in an insulting manner
My hope is that we will develop
flrmness along with patience, be-
cause another war now would be
fatal. and equally, the absorption
of all Central Europe into the Soviet
Socialist Republics would be fatal
