Jops Food Riot

Tokyo, May 14-(UP)-A near riot occurred this afternoon at the east gate of the Imperial Palace when more than 2,0O0 Japanese, some of them women with babies strapped to their backs, staked a five-hour sitdown strike demanding more food.
 The demonstrators many of whom waved red flags, demanded an answer from Emperor Hirohito to their demands Sunday which in- cluded the release of allegedly hoarded foodstocks of the Imperial household.
 Palace guards forcibly turned back a group of 25 women who at- tempted to force their way through the east gate to press their de- manis for milk for their babies. It was the second time in three days that demonstrators brought their demands for food to the gate!
 of the Imperial Palace. Sunday more than 1000 persons forced theil way past the guards and held rally in front of the Imperial house hold department office.
 Japanese Communists yesterda. issued a formal statement askinI that the emperor release "storet foodstocks" for distribution iU tfl' starving people of Japan.

'Brownout Marked

Despite ''brownout" restrictions which went into effect yesterday by order of the State Public Utili- ties Commission, advertising and display lights burned brightly in downtown Waterbury last night. A tour of the business district showed far less than majority compliance with the conservation measures or dered to save electric current dur ing the coal crisis.
 More general compliance with the PUG. coal-saving directive is ex- pected as merchants become better acquainted with the regulations. In advertisements today, the Connec- ticut Light 6 Power Company car- rieS the text of the commissions conservation order.
 The local utility today also pub- lished an advertisement appealing to consumers to reduce the use of illuminating gas as much as possi- ble. Industrial and domestic users are asked to use gas as little as possible.
 The PUG. hrownout and gas- saving orders will be in effect for at least the remainder of May. it was announced today. They will be extended beyond that time unless the coal situation has shown a great improvement and an adequate supply for electric and gas com- panies is. assured.

Jews
 Intercepted

Jerusalem, May 14-(UP)-Eight- cen hundred Jewish refugees, seek ing illegal entry into Palestine landed at Haifa today and were taken to Athlith clearance camps in British Army trucks.
 Their ship, which sailed from Constanta, Romania, was intercept ed yesterday by British destroyer and escorted into Haifa harbor. The refugees were en route to Tel Aviv.
 Arab tension in Palestine in creased when the illegal entry at- tempt became known. The Jews will be allowed to enter Palestine, but the number will be deducted from the regular monthly immigra- tion quota.
 Meanwhile, the Arab '. Higher Committee announced that nation wide protest demonstrations would be held coincident with the arrival of 1,OO4 Jewish refugees from La Speza, Italy.
 J. H. H. Pollock, British district commissioner for Jerusalem, sum- moned Jamal Husseini, head of the Arab Committee, and warned him against "any breach of law and order" in connection with the scheduled demonstrations. ..

Air Force Hero
 Reqoins Sight

Syracuse. N. Y, May IA - (UP) An eye operation has restored the sight of Forrest L. Vosler, g. the flyer who begged his comrades to toss him overheard to tighten the load in their plane which was crip- pied while flying over Europe.
 The operation for the removal of traumatic cataract on the left eye was performed by Dr. Arthur J. Bedell, Albany. Tests taken yes- terday showed that Vosler is now able to read perfectly either at . distance or close up."
 Vosler had his right eye shot out in combat and he begged his com- radeS to toss him overheard so the plane could make 1t back to it base in England. They refused. The plane crash landed in the English Channel and Vosler saved the lives of two of his comrades.
 He was awarded the Congres- sional Medal of Honor.

vitation to return to work and break the two-month-old strike. Although there were heavy details of local and State Police, there was no re-oc- entrance of the violence which marked the initial attempt by the precision tool plant to re- sume operations yesterday.
 Everything is orderly right
 now," said Louis Kingsbury,
 publicity chairman of the un-
 ion, "but We can't guarantee it
 will last. It won't take much
 to provoke the pickets."
 State Police Commissioner Ed ward J. Hickey was at the scene again to enforce an edict that the pickets be limited to 15 and that they march in circles in front of the four gates which were opened this morning.
 Behind them were the West Hartford police. and further in the rear, masses of pickets moved up and down the streets, hanked by State Troopers.
 Kingsbury said that "the home of every man who goes back to work will be picketed by squads carrying signs reading:
 Here lives a scab."
 Here lives a strikebreaker.
 "This man steals the bread
 from my children's mouths"
 There was no attempt to inter- fere with those entering the gates today, and as the picketS marched along ignoring the returning work CTS, a union simplifying system blared to Commissioner Hickey:
 Take your State Police back
 home. We don't need them
 any more"
 All of the 22 pickets, includ-
 ing four ranking union officials,
 who were' arrested yesterday on
 breach of peace charges follow
 ing clashes with police, were
 in the picket lines, according to
 Kingsbury.
 "The company is beat now" he said. wen hold out forever"
 Meanwhile, State Rep. Harold E. Conroy (D-Hartford), who is presi- dent of the C.I.O. Colts local, pro- tested to Gov. R. E. Baldwin against the appearance of State Police armed with night sticks
 The Governor had no comment to make.

Big 4'Vetoes On Up Trend
 Byrnes and Bevin
 Reject Red Plan

Paris, May 14-CUP) - Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov offered to- day to withdraw Russian troops from Bulgaria if the United States and Great Britain would pull theirs out of Italy.
 Secretary of State James F.
 Byrnes proposed that the Big
 4" foreign ministers start dis
 cussion of a peace treaty with
 Austria. MOlOtOv vetoed the
 proposal.
 The Council of Ministers was in plenary session for 1-2 hours.
 Byrnes and Foreign Secretary
 Ernest Bevin of Britain refused
 to make a deal for the with
 drawal of Allied troops for Italy
 in exchange for Russian evac-
 nation of Bulgaria
 The Council discussed a report by experts on the Franco-Italian front fer, but took up none of the major issues of the Italian treaty.
 The days second session was scheduled to start at 4 P. M. 11 A. M.-EDT0
 China was revealed to have
 sent a note to, all four ministers
 asking permission to send rep
 resentative to their discussion of
 Germany, which was expected
 to begin tomorrow. The request
 was in line with an agreement
 at POtsdam.
 Byrnes, Bevin and Georges Bidallt of France agreed. Molotov indicat- ed opposition. He said that since the discussion was merely prelinin- ary, it would be preferable to limit it to the four occupying powers.
 Lt.-Gen. Lucius D. Clay and Rob- ert Murphy, American military and political representatives in Get many, arrived today preliminary to the discussion of Germany. They attended the morning session.
 MOlOtOv'S offer was contin-
 gent on insertion in the Italian peace treaty of 2 clause reqlir- ing that all U. s. and British
 troops be withdrawn from Italy
 as soon as the treaty Is signed. Bevin countered with the asser- tion that if the Council could start discussing Austria at once and could agree on the withdrawal of Allied troops from Austria, the problem would be solved automatically since there would be no further need for lines through Bull garia.

DPCGeor ToxubIe
 Locol Machinery
 To Be Affected

Chief Assessor AIdro Jenks to- day awaited receipts of copy of the formal decision of the United States Supreme Court ruling that machinery owned by the Defense Plant Corporation is taxable in states which regard machinery as real property" The decision was handed down Monday.
 MT. Jenks pointed out that
 Connecticut tax laws classify all machinery permanently af- fixed to building as real prop erty and all other types such as "end-prOductS" as personal property. Asked if such a decis- sion indicated the possibility that Waterbury might benefit further in tax income on such DPC property in Waterbury plants, MT. Jenks said he had no comment to make. DPC ma chinery is the type used to pro- duce end-productS and is affix- ed to buildings.
 What knowledge have of the ruling, is but hearsay he said" Un- til I get the formal ruring which I have requested, I have nothing to say"
 The Defense Plant Corpora tiOn is a government agency now assumed under the juris- dictiOn of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
 No actual valuation has been determined of such property in Waterbury, the assessors office re- vealed. Where such Federal-owned machinery was encountered during the revaluation process 1t was not itemized. It has been estimated there is between 60 and 30 million dollars worth of this type equip ment in Connecticut.
 State Tax Commissioner Wall ter w. Walsh cOrr0bOrated MT. Jenk's statement today relative to the Court ruling and said that considerable study of the matter would have to be made. Other factors, to be considered, Mir. Walsh said, were the per-
 nanency of the installation and the intent of the parties at the time of installation.
 M. Walsh did add, however, that Continued pAcN 1A-fnp(N.

Settlement Prospects High John [. Demands $7O, 900! OOO- Year Leuy for Welfare

The bulk of 4O0,O 900 striking mine workers were back at their jobs today, and prospects appeared brighter that the two-week coal truce might become permanent. Except for some 8O,OOO miners

 President John L. Lewis. They
 were joined in similar truce
 arrangement by 1S,0OO striking
 members of the Progressive
 Mine Workers Union in Illinois.
 Limited coal supplies began mov- ing almost immediately, under gov ernment priority orders, to utilities, railroads, hospitals and food process sorS. Other industries will be al- loted coal after essential users have been supplied.

 feet, as did the 5 percent cut
 in railroad passenger service. A
 freight embargo was lifted how
 ever, along with a second cut in
 passenger train service sched-
 uled for tomorrow.
 Hopes for reaching an agreement before the May 9 expiration of the truce rose after soft coal operators agreed to pay $3,000,O00 for disputed overtime in the first major break since negotiations began in mid March. There appeared little pros pect, however, that contract could be completed by the Wednesday deadline set by President Truman.
 After winning the back pay
 settlement, Lewis followed up
 last night with 8 demand for
 $7O,OOO, ,OOO-a-year levy on the
 industry to finance a miners
 welfare fund.
 The proposal, a switch from his demand for coal tonnage royalty to support the fund, called for a 2 percent assessment on mine payrolls to cover costs of the fund. Oper- ators had no immediate comment.
