Gen. yiiIweII
 Passes Away
 In Hospital
Com m a nder Who Took Hell of a Bedting' in
 Burma, Dies Saturday

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Oct. IA. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, 63, Com mander of the Sixth Army, who re- coiled from a "hell of a beating in Burma to help knock Japan out of the war, died last Saturday.
 The wiry General had an opera tion October for liver ailment believed contracted in the Burma Jungles. His condition became crit ical October g and he grew pro- gressively weaker.
 Death came at 12:48 Saturday afternoon at Letterman General Hospital on the grounds of his Six tn Army Headquarters here. Stilwell rareiy wore decorations, but the Army gave him on his death bed the one he said he most coveted. It was the Combat h. fantryman's Badge, which is award ed only for extended fighting at the front against the enemy. Japs Could Be Licked After the Allies took "a hell of beating in Burma in 1922, Gen. Joseph Warren Stilwell declared the Japanese were not "supermen'' and could and would be thrown out.
 He set about to prove his point that a properly proportioned and properly equipped force was all that was needed.
 An official recapitulation in the summer of 1914 of the generals s North Burma campaign during that year disclosed that more than 10000 square miles of territory had ] been recaptured and in excess of 10000 Japanese killed. Much equip ment the Allies lost in their 1922 retreat was retaken and used against the now retreating enemy Full General Stilwell, then a lieutenant gen. eral, was elevated to the temper ary rank of full general. A Senate Military Affairs Committee spokes- man described the promotion as a reward for his success. "The gen. eral is remarkable man to have endured what he has in Burma, he added

By a quarter after ten tonight, Eastern time, the country should know President Truman's prescrip- tion for the meat shortage in par ticular and rocketing prices and wages in general.
 The President is due to broad cast at 10 pm. q pm. PSTC his diagnosis and remedy for the do- mestic situation. What he will say is a closely guarded White House secret, but there are the usual pre- dictionS and indications. One is that MT. Truman may have chang ed his mind about retaining price controls on meat.
 The politicians and the meat in- terests, meanwhile, are deluging the President with advice-mostly caustic The Republicans are yell ing that his speech tonight is a political speech, and that they want Is minutes free time on the radio networks to reply.
 They also are demanding that all meat controls be thrown out inn mediately-but in this they are be- ing joined by some of the leading Democrats, also. The Communists are calling the scarcity plot by the monopolies to throw the Mo- vernber election to the Republicans and they want the government to seize all the cattle. The Western livestock men are warning MT Truman that he is playing with fire ii he permits the importation of beef from Argentina.

Every tick of the clock is bring ing the Il condemned Nazi war criminals closer to their doom. Less than 48 hours of life remain for them.
 Julius Streicher seems to be one of the few who shows no outward signs of being affected by the ap- proach of the hangman. In the Nuremberg jail this morning, Streicher told prison psychologist to be sure to deliver this message to the others who will die with him:
 They must not be low" he said; they must be brave and strong.

NEW ACTION IS TAKEN IN
 SHIP STRIKE
Bridges, Cunan Summon ed to Washington in
 14-Ddy-0Id Trouble

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Nego- tiators for the CIO-Marine En- gineers today called in Harry Bridges and Joseph Curran, co-chairmen of the Committee for Maritime Unity, for a special strategy meeting in the l4-day-old shipping strike.
 The committee is dominated by CIO unions in the maritime field.
 The engineers, with the AFL Mas ters, Mates and Pilots have been idle since October l, tying up large part of the merchant fleet "a all ports. Their principal demands involve union security and wages.
 A spokesman for the Engineers said that Bridges, President of the ClC-Longshoremen, and Curran, head of the CIO National Maritime Union, were invited to Washington, to tighten our policy"
 There. was no further elaboration on the emergency meeting Bridges was called from San Francisco and Curran from New York.
 The invitations went out after the engineers made slight shift in tactics Friday night, less than 24 hours after the Eats and Gulf coasts operators walked out on the gov- ernment sponsored conciliation meetings here.
 Resumption of those meetings with or without government par ticipation, was expected in the next day or so.
 The CIO union offered to nego- tiate separate contract with the Atlantic and Gulf ship owners if the Maritime Commission then would agree to put the terms into effect on it's vessels in the Pacific.
 Before that. the union had been insisting that the commission make prior commitment to blanket West Coast ships under any East Coast contract the union might reach with the Eastern operators.
 Pacific operators have resisted the chief demand of both striking un- ions - for preferential hiring of union members. The East and Gulf shipowners have had union security provisions in their contracts in the pas:.

PARIS, Oct. 14-Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov today at tackled as unsatisfactory" many of the results of the Paris peace conference, presaging showdown on leading issues in the four-power foreign ministers New York meet ing.
 Molotov, charging that the United States had dominated the confer ence, upheld the Soviet Unions right to $500 100000 separations from Finland-a figure soon after
 ward ratified, over United States
 opposition. voiced by Senator Ar
 thur H. Vandenberg. The Michigan
 Senator sought to reduce the repar- ations figure to $200000,000, but the conference voted this down II to 5.
 The United States, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and the Meth erlands voted against the repara- tions article, and Australia, Bel gium, Brazil, Greece and Norway abstained.
 Many Clauses Approved The conference previously had swiftly approved all political and military clauses of the Finnish treaty last of five to be drafted by
 the 21 nations in their II weeks of deliberations.
 The United States abstained from voting on the territorial clauses by which Finland would cede territory including nickle mines and the Arctic port of Petsamo to Russia. One clause to refer final disputes
 on treaty enforcement to the In- ternational Court of Justice was carried IS to over opposition of the Russian-led Slav block. A ban on atomic weapons for Finland was carried by the same vote.
 The conference voted Il to to
 make Finland pay 75 percent com- pensation for United Nations prop erty losses in her territory. The United States and Slav states op- posed the action.
 Vandenberg, ranking Republican member of the U. s. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, contended
 that Finland was unable to pay $500 900 OOO in reparations, espec-
 ially in view of stipulations that
 commodities shipped for separations could be marked up only 10 to 15
 percent above 1888 prices.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Standard Oil of New Jersey recently took about 40 New York, Boston and Wash ington newsmen on junket to the oil fields of Texas and Louisiana.
 While in Texas, the party visited the giant King Ranch, largest in the United States, owned in part by Richard Kleburg, former Texas Congressman.
 After extensive trips over the million-acre cattle domain, where the writers were shown every breed of cattle imaginable, methods of raising, grazing, roping and brand ing, an elaborate dinner was serv- ed at the 60-room, air-conditioned ranch house.
 Good liquor flowed freely, and the main dish was roast beef, the like of which has not been seen in Eastern markets since 1889.
 At the conclusion of the Gargan- tuan repast, there were brief talks by the ranch foremen, followed by the piece de resistance of the or atory-an outspoken warning from Congressman Kleberg that there would be famine of meat in all the cities of the land if Washing ton and it's crackpot theorists do not soon quit making a political football of the American belly"
 There is plenty of beef on the hoof on the ranges of the nation, Kleberg declared, but, he warned, the cattlemen of the country arc determined that beef will remain on the range until it can move to market in manner that is profi- table and satisfactory to the ranchers.
 Asked later, by visiting news man, if he meant that cattle rais- CTS were definitely striking, Kle- berg snapped. Why not? Strikes are popular and seem to have the approval of the administration"
 Kleherg's warning might be con- sidered the buster of a defeated Congressman who is simply sore, but for the fact that he is regard ed by cattlemen as the king pin'' of the industry.
 He is withholding his beef, every

His next problem, he thought. was getting
a job You could say that much for the war
anyway - no one had to worry about job.
Probably the greatest solution to unemploy-

to think about it, during a war no one had to
worry about anything. Someone else always
did your thinking for you, at least about
those things like what you were going to do
next.
If YOU were private, the corporal worried,
and if you were looey, the captain worried;
but who did the worrying for the generals?
Probably the President or somebody.
Suddenly he felt let down. Out there, all
