PROSECUTION OF T0J0. WAR
 AIDES BEGUN
26 Leaders of Nipponese Aggression View Charf-
 ing of Asian Gamble

TOKYO, June 13.-The men whom the Allies charge with having flung the Pacific nations into war saw their ambitious bid for an em- pire paraded before them on huge, 15-foot square, red-lined maps to- day as the prosecution opened it's case before the International War Grimes Tribunal.
 Wartime Premier Hideki Tojo and 25 others who associated with him in the great Asian gamble watched intently as the maps charting Nippon's expansion and collapse in Manchuria, China, south east Asia and the South Pacific were unrolled.
 Tojo, a worried looking little man with lined brows, studied each map with deep concentration Each-on it's great frame above and behind the rows of defendants-told a chapter of Japan's aggression and decline over decade and half. At the start, Japan alone was out lined in the blood-red paint. Then with the succeeding years the red stretched out to the mandated islands, Manchuria, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Burma, New Guinea and the Malay Straits.
 Then came the turn. The red lines shrunk as Japan lost the game for empire.
 Tojo, without expression, turned from the final map and silently stared in his lap.
 Of all the defendants, only Ken ii Doihara, who was Japan's Law renee of Manchuria," and Mamoru Shigemitsu, who signed the sur render document for Japan aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, paid scant at tention Doihara shot a couple of quick glances at the Manchurian maps and Shigemitsu looked not at all.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee dis covered in a secret session last week that Chairman Tom Connal- 2 ly of Texas and Michigan's COP Senator vandenberg didn't seem to have got along too well during their recent peace trips abroad.
 The Committed was debating the important St. Lawrence Waterway project which for 12 years has gathered dust in a Committee pigeonhole.
 Connally is opposed to the St. Lawrence Waterway and complain ed bitterly that the legislation is in the form of an international agreement, requiring majority of both the House and Senate in or der to become law, instead of the two-thirds necessary for a treaty. The gentleman from Texas knew, of course, that he could muster a two-thirds vote to defeat a treaty.
 Senator Vandenberg listened to the funing of his European travel ling companion for a few moments then interrupted.
 You know perfectly well it is proper to present this as an agree ment," said the Senator from Michigan. Furthermore, can re- member more than one occasion

MARINE STRIKE SETTLEMENT IS NEAR
OpA WON'T WIPE OUT RESTAURANT
 CEILING PRICES
Senate Recommendation Mainly Ignored- d-|nueds-
 ed Costs Pass Along

WASHINGTON, June 13.--OPA opened the way today for higher restaurant prices.
 But in doing so, the Agency fol- lowed only in part recommends tion of the Senate Banking Com mittee, which voted to wipe out ceil- ings on meals made up of foods on which there are no price controls.
 OPA issued an order which sim ply allows new menu prices to re- fleet the full amount of any higher costs stemming from the removal of price ceilings on food items.
 The order is effective immediate ly. but it will have little effect on restaurant prices right away. The reason is that there are not many food items exempt from price con- trol at this time.
 But OPA officials said the new regulation means the cost of dining out probably will go up sharply if ceilings are stripped from meat poultry, eggs and dairy products. The Senate Committee has recom- mended removal of these controls July 1.
 At present only a few food items come within the scope of this re- vised regulation. Ceilings on lob sters and most kinds of fish have been removed, for example. This means menu prices may be based on the cost of these items.
 The restaurant changes went into effect as government economists estimated that housewives costs for major foods have climbed in recent weeks at the rate of $4B5, 100000 a year.
 They broke down their figures this way:
 A cent for a loaf of bread $125, ,o00,0o0; penny a quart for milk and authorized price hikes for butter and cheese-$250, 900 ,000; general meat price increases which became effective in April-$11 ,000,- GOO.

SENATE ACTS ON oPA

WASHINGTON, June 13. = The Senate has turned down an amend ment to the OPA Extension Bill The amendment was rejected by roll call vote of 51 to 21.
 It has been proposed by Demo- cratic Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma. who proposed that price controls be removed at once from a long list of basic items. These in- cluded timber, petroleum, cotton milk, livestock, tobacco, poultry fish, grain, peanuts, fruits and veg otables. Also products made from them-such as cloth processed from sheeps' wool. In short, if the Thomas amendments had not been thrown out, the OPA would have lost practically all it's authority tc control prices except those involv- ing rents and mineral products.

BRIDGES NOW MAIN BALKER AT U. 5. TERMS
Longshore Heads HoIdoui for Cent More May
 Bring on Tie-Up

| WASHINGTON, June l3.-Mari- time negotiations shaped up closer to agreement today but Harry Bridges West Coast longshoremen remained a major threat to settie- ment before the strike deadline to- i morrow at midnight.
 Grandville Conway. War Shipping Administrator, said a dispute re- mained over the wording Of four or five things" However. one un- ion chief revealed privately that more than phrasing still was at stake.
 Bridges militant union was re- ported holding out for cent hourly more than the 9 cents in- crease proposed by the government. A compromise, cutting the amount 'of retroactive pay going to the stevodores, was a-making, but still not made.
 Relaxed tension was evident, how ever, as a full-dress negotiating session convened in midafternoon for what might be the showdown. A Labor Department official said settlement might come this after noon, tonight, or maybe tomor- row.
 Key Unions Ready To Accept < Even as 100000 Unionists organ fzed for dockside striking, word came from reliable union circles that the two key seagoing unions directly involved-the CIO National Maritime Union and the Indepen- dent Marine Bremen of the Pacif- ic Coast-were ready to take the governments wage and work-week terms.
 The terms were, according to this source: A $17.50 monthly wage in- crease, overtime pay rate boosted to $l an hour, overtime to start at 48 hours instead of the present 56. The work-week would continue to be 56 hours at sea, however.
 Negotiators and others talked more freely than they have. CIO President Philip Murray said: Some issues need further clarifi- cation" Joseph Selly. Pretident of the CIO American Communications Association radio operators) spoke of "a few things to be cleared up yet"
 Erte7id Terms To AFL
 But word got out unofficially that plans were afoot to have the ship ping operators-pushed out of nego- tiations yesterday when the govern ment took over-present letter to the VISA agreeing to apply the settlement terms immediately to unions other than those directly affected. These would include the AFL Seafarers' Union, which is dealing with employers separately, and two other unions here. the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards and the CIO Marine Engineers. whoce con- tracts do not expire until Sept. 30.
 There seemed good reason for the prediction of Federal eonciliator that chances were good" for settls- ment today. But the seven allied unions are pledged not to make separate settlement and if Bridges holds out, trouble could come on all coasts.

 eide de Gaaperi as Provisional
 Chief of State while he was
 still occupying the Throne.
 ROME, June 13. = The Royal palace announced today that King Umberto had left Italy for exile in Portugal.
 A spokesman at the Quirinale Palace Press office said the Kings four-engined Savoia Marchetti plane, which took off from the Champino Airport, would go "di- rect to Lisbon"
 Thus the King ended his three day struggle with the cabinet over whether a Republic triumphed in a plebiscitel ten days ago.
 Earlier in the day, it had been reported that the King would go to his estate near Pisa to await the Supreme Courts ruling on plebiscite irregularities which, he contended, made the Courts an- nouncement of a Republican vic- tory Indefinite" But the finality of the fearful farewells at the air port indicated even before the of ficial announcement that he was leaving Italian soil.
 Political Crisis
 The rejected Monarch's moves came as remier Alcide De Gasperi was granted new powers as Acting Chief of State in a temporary compromise solution of Italy's poli- tical crisis.
 Queen Maria Jose and her two children went to Portugal aboard an Italian cruiser last week, soon after it became apparent that Italy had voted to overthrow the Royal House of Savoy in favor of Re- public. Umberto's father, tired old King vittorio Emanuele III, went into exile in Egypt on May g, clearing the throne for his son for a month.
 Earlier in the week, bloody riots had erupted in Naples. Taranto and Rome, provoked by Umberto's reluctance to quit the throne until the Supreme Court ruled on peti- tions charging fraud in the election that deposed him.
