At Request of UNRRA

London, Jan. 3. (UP)-The British government announced today that it is Investigating charges by It. Gen. Sir Frederick E. Morgan that a mass exodus of Jews from Poland is being directed by a Jewish or ganization.
 A government spokesman said the British Foreign Offlce is con- dueting the investigation at the re- quest of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration.
 Morgan, whose allegations yester- day stirred a worldwide furor, is chief of UNRRA operations in Ger many.
 "The question (of Morgan's &C., curacy) has been raised by UNRRA and is being gone into" the spokes- man said. "The purpose of the probe is to determine the accuracy of Gen. Morgan's statement in view of his allegation and the resultant denials from Jewish Sources
 Asked by correspondents about Morgan's contention that reports of pogroms against the Jews m Poland were not entirely factual, the spokesman said he could not recall any report of Foreign Of- flee representative concerning any actual pogrom." ..
 He said the investigation would be limited to London until such time as a decision was reached on the best way to obtain spot informa- ton on the Jewish situation in Poland and Germany.
 The spokesman said UNRRA ot- ficials ir asking for the investiga- ton had made it clear that Morgan made his remarks as private cltl- zen and not in his capacity af ullRRA chief for Germany.

Franco Bows
 To oMonurchy Agreement Made 1 With Don Juon

Lausanne, Jan. 3-(UP)-A high Spanish Royalist source said today that Gen. Francisco Franco and Don Juan had reached a definite agreement on the restoration of the monarchy.
 An informant who arrived recently from Madrid said the accord was reached during visit of Jose Maria Oriol, Franco's personal represen- tative, to Lausanne.
 The agreement was described as providing for the transfer of power from Franco to Jon Juan through several stages. Franco would hand over power to the generals who made him chief of state. A regency council would be constituted and charged with re-establishing order, threatened by Republican activity. The Falange would be dissolved. Finally, according to the report, Don Juan would be called to the throne after the establishment of the pow erful Catholic -Royalist party.
 The Royalists were said to have accepted the plan, giving assurance of Francois personal safety.
 Don Juan's secretary. Ramon Pa dilla, will drive to Madrid tomorrow to ask Franco to step up the pro- ceedings so as to forestall any Allied decision concerning relations with Franco regime, informants reported.
 Franco was said to havC decided to conclude the agreement with Don Juan because of the growing sup port the Republicans are receiving from Allied countries. especially France.

 Dual Control
Dissatisfaction In Koreo Told

Washington, Jan. 3. (UP)-Gen. Douglas MacArthur was revealed to- day to have expressed diSSatisfac- tion to the War Department over divided American-Soviet Russian control of Korea.
 In his first report on his steward ship as supreme commander for the Allied powers. MacArthur said that the dual control was bringing "seri- ous consequences" and that the Korean people were greatly con- cerned."
 This report, issued through the War Department, was prepared be- fore the three-power conference of foreign ministers at Moscow agreed on a joint Soviet-U. s. commission for Korea and the calling of a meet ing of the Russian and American military commands in Korea to establish coordination on adminis- trative and economic matters.
 Soviet Russia controls Korea north of the 38th parallel and the United States has Jurisdiction of the area to the south.
 MacArthur also indicated his op- position to any plan calling for the mass deportation of Japanese from Japan for reparation labor service.
 However. MacArthur proposed that Japanese military and civilian personnel who were left on by- passed islands in the Southwest Pacific be utilized to rebuild dam aged areas and to construct new developments.
 MacArthur also defended reten- ton of Japanese technical and managerial personnel already in Korea, Manehugla and China af essential for tine economic stability Of those areas"

 British Leaders hOestigate Charges on JelUiSh Exodus

Frankfurt, Jan. 3-(UP)-J Judge simon Rifkind, adviser on Jewish affairs at U. S. Occupation Head quarters, today ridiculed Lt.-Gen. Sir Frederick Morgan's assertion yesterday that a migration of Jews from Poland is directed by some large scale Jewish organization.
 'rhe conception of a world wide cospiratorial organization is pure poppycock," Rifkind said. Gen eral Morgan's statement predict ing a mass exodus from Europe is like talking about the vanishing buffalo. The exodus already has taken place. The Nazis took care of that. But it was not to the land of the living"
 Rifkind supported Morgan's con- tention that reports of anti-Jewtsh pogroms in Poland were exagger- ated. He said cases existed of att tacks against one or two Jews on various occasions, but there was no concrete evidence of large scale attacks.
 Views Personal
 Rifkind said his views were per- sonal, and should not be taken nec- essarily to reflect the views oi American Occupation Headquarters His conclusions were based on per- sonal examination of hundreds ol persons who filtered in from po- land. he said.
 'sThe migrants are guided and assisted not by any secret organ izstlon but by remnants Of olf Jewisf organizations that existed in Poland for many yenrss' he saie

Occupation Men May Get Families

Frankfurt Jan. 3.-(UP)-OrIi- cers and upper-grade sergeants of the American occupation force will be joined in Germany by their wives and families starting about April if the War Department ap- proves a plan now in its hands, 1t was learned today.
 A detailed plan for the transfer of 9O,OO0 women and children from the United States to military posts in Germany hAs been approved by the European theater headquarters and submitted to Washington.
 Occupation force soldiers eligible to have their families with them in Germany include all officers and on-commissioned officers with the rating of staff sergeant or higher. This rule complies with standard procedure governing military posts.
 Each military post will have B. 900 inhabitants. under the USFEf plan. The greatest problems will be school facilities and medical care, a survey showed.

City Union May Fight
 Y. Increases

Formation of a citizens commit tee to fight against any possible un- just property assessment boosts was contemplated today by the Greater Waterbury Industrial Union Coun- cil 10 cooperation with the State CIO Council. as protests on revalu- ation continued to mount.
 John J. Drlscoll, State CIO secre- tary, said numerous complaints on the tax increases have come from union members, and that several community organizations have sent representatives to consult with CIO officials on the re-asSeSSmentS and possible action.
 Renato Ricciuti, president of the city union council, has started an extensive investigation on protests and the general reasSeSsment schedule. The council will work along with committees from civic clubs in study of the situation, it was disclosed.
 MT. Driscoll said the CIO wants to find out if the boosts will be hidden taxes in another form, if the re-asSeSsment was done on the basis off the whole community, and whether manufacturers have been favored over home owners.
 The CIO secretary pointed out that the largest boost for manufac- turing property represented only a 15 to 20 per cent increase, while home owners in general received more severe boosts. He pointed to complaints of boosts which ranged from 30 to 100 percent or more on housing accomYnodatins.
