RUSS ACCEPT U.S.pL.ANF0R
 CUT IN ARMS
Conei|iatorY Move Hailed as Opening Way for
 Immediate Action
By MAX HARRELSON

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Dec. A. Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mo lotov, in a conciliatory move, agreed today to accept United States arms reductions proposals as basis for Gi1cussion and declared that the Big Power veto would not apply to any system of controls and inspec- tions in connection with arms linn itations.
 His statement was hailed immed- lately by British Delegate Sir Hart lee Shawcross as an important concession" Australian Delegate Paul Hasluck said the new Soviet stand opened the way for imned- fate United Nations action.
 Sen Tom Connally CD-Tex) , speaking for the United States, said tha American delegation welcomed 10th tke Soviet decision to accept the U. S. plans as a basis for dis cussicn and Molotov's explanation that the inspection and control system would be free of the veto.
 Molotov told the 54-nation poll : tical committee of the U. N assem- ply that Russia was ready to with draw her own proposals in favor of the American plan, but that Rus sia had certain amendments.
 
 On the veto, he said:
 There is need to aispel an ob- vious misunderstanding which has arisen. The Soviet government is in faycr of the Security Council adopting measure to prohibit weap- ons of mass destruction. Only the principle of unanimity in the council can guarantee the adoption of reduction of arms. Unanimous action is necessary in adopting regu lation on control commissions.
 Molotov's position thus summed to be that the veto should apply during the setting up of the in- sPection and control machinery by the Security Council, but once the machinery was ready to operate the veto would not apply This is in conformity with the American posi- ton that the Security Council should be the agency to set up controls. but that the machinery should be Independent after it is created.

PORTLAND CLUB

 PLAYER TIE -UD

LOS ANGELES, Dec A. The Portland club in the Pacific Coast league is dickering for a player tie-up with the Detroit Tigers or the New York Yankees, and until major league connection is made it is, probably that no manager to succeed Marvin Owen will be an nounced.
 Managerial talent is practically a dime a dozen" nowadays, it seems, with Buffalo of the International league expected momentarily to choose a new pilot from such mo- tables as Frankie F'rish, the old Fordham flash of the St. Louis Cardinals and last season with the Pittsburgh team; Luke Sewell, 1946 skipper of the St. Louis Browns, and Paul Richards, relief catcher for the Detroit Tigers

 Indian Lands
 Upheld, Court

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-William 2 A Brophy, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. said today that Supreme Court decision last week upholding the claim of Oregon's Alcea tribes to certain land marks the end of discrimination against Indians.
 The court upheld a Court of Claims ruling that the Tillamook, Ccquille and other Indians of the Alcea group, through occupancy since aboriginal days, have estab- lished ownership of and which the U. s. Government took away from them.
 Previously, Indian ownership has been adjudged solely upon the basis of signed treaties, Brophy said.
 The Supreme Court" he said in a statement, has held that original Indian title is as good as any white mans title.
 Indians are entitled to recover the value oi any land taken away by the Government. This means the end of a lcng-standing dis elimination which made Indian lands a prey to land-grab schemes and denied them redress or com pensation'
 Brophy said the court decision stressed anew the responsibility of employees of the Office of Indian Affairs to make sure that Indian land ownership is respected

 FREIGHT EMBARGO

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-The governments freight embargo, com ing on top of the congestion ere ated by the recently ended mari time strike, can be very. harmful to the west in the opinion of Dis trict Manager w. c. Griffin of the Association of American Railroads.
 Griffin said the embargo, slap ped On the coal-burning railroads because of the coal strike, would seliouely affect Pacific Coast econ ony and aggravate the West Coast shipping glut even though many western rail lines are oil-burning.
 The shipping congestion will be felt particularly in San Francisco he added.
 Movement of perishable crops to the cast in refrigerator cars will be disrupted because under present conditions it will be pretty hard to justify movement of those cars, empty, back here,' Griffin pointed out.
 We've been trying to get the huge accumulation of import goods unloaded and freighted east from here after the maritime strike. During the strike period we accum- ulated lot of freight cars which brought in export goods and hoped to use those cars to distribute the imports
 Now it's all confused he went on, and the effect can he very harmful to the west

The W ashington Merry Go Round
by DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = A top-secret cablegranl has just been received hy the War Department from Gen. eral Macarthur, banning several important newspapers from taking a trip to Japan. They include the New York Herald Tribune, Chris tian Science Monitor, Chicago Sun, San Francisco Chronicle, PM, and the Daily Worker.
 Tn his telegram to the War De- partment, General MacArthur ac- cused these papers of downright quackery and dishonesty
 MacArthur's cable was sent after the War Department wired him, suggesting that a group of news paper editors and correspondents make a brief tour of Japan and Korea, as they recently did through Germany. The War Department, which is always loath to make sug- gestions to MacArthur, phrased the telegram in tactful language, pro- posing that it might be a good idea to let the press get real picture of the occupation.
 The Supreme Commander i'll the Pacific was not hesitant about re- plying. First he objected; then, when the War Department sent him second cable, he reluctantly accepted-but turned thumbs down , on the above mentioned papers
 While many Army men would agree with MacArthur's opposition to the Daily Worker, which is an official Communist publication, the War Department was surprised at MacArthur's banning of the Chrls- tian Science Monitor, which IS non partisan, and the New York Her aid Tribune, which is Republican. The San Francisco Chronicle, also Republican, is edited by Paul c. Smith, who had a brilliant war record in the Marine Corps and Navy, and who, during a recent trip through Germany, was vigor- ous in his praise of the U. s. Ar my's work.
