Bermuda Hurricane
Moving Northeast

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Oct 21.-
A hurricane which struck Bermuda
yesterday is expected, the Weather
Bureau said, to pass about 200 miles
southeast of Sable Island some time
late today.
Sable Island lies about 100 miles
east of Nova Scotia.
1n Washington the Weather
Bureau said the hurricane at
am. probably was centered about
800 miles north-northeast of
Bermuda and moving northeast
ward about Is miles per hour)
Advisory messages broadcast to
ships off the coast warned that the
storm, which caused an estimated
100000 worth of damage on Ber-
muda yesterday, was moving in a
northeasterly direction. Barring a
sudden shift in course, this appar-
emily meant that there was nc
possibility it would hit the United
States.
When the storm hit Bermuda, the
wind was clocked at 100 miles an
hour, with gusts ranging up to 12s

What theRussiuns
Are Saying of Us:

The MoscoD radio, broGdcasting i
German to Austria, said
"At the beginning of Hitler's
attack on the U. S. S. r. the
initial successes scored by the
Nazis were interpreted by in
ternational reaction as sign
that the Soviet Union was on
the point of complete collapse.
In Europe and the United States,
where people in 1941 considered
whether Soviet resistance would
continue for two or for three
months, the unexpected Soviet
victories had the result of an
earthquake.
Informed circles knew that the
material aid rendered by the
Allies satisfied the requirements
of the Soviet Army only to a
small extent. They knew what
Soviet industry and agriculture
had supplied for the Soviet Army.
The belated landing in France in
the summer of 1914 was not so
much intended to help the Soviet
Unoin as to put a brake on too
swift a westward advance by
the Soviet Army"

The undistributed material is part

believed some consumer goods found

A Greek government inventory

which had deteriorated. The bulk
had been shipped in by the de-

Delay in Control Shift
To Civilians BoIsters
Army in Occupation
Postponement in Germany,
Koreo and japan Loid to
Administrative Factors
By Gornett D. Horner

United States Army authority
in Germany, Japan and Korea
was bolstered today by indefinite
postponement of plans for a
change to civilian administra-
ton of American occupied areas.
The postponement was announced
last night by the State Department,
whose officials had been attempting
to work out plans to begin taking
over administrative responsibility
from the Army in the occupied areas
by the first of the year.
administrative" Factors Cited.
Michael j. McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, said decision
to hold up the change-over resulted
from administrative considera-
tions" and not from the present
world situation.
Nevertheless, the announcement
served to strengthen the prestige of
Army commanders in the areas in
volved-Gen. Lucius D. Clay i'll Ger
many, Gen. Macarthur in Japan
and 1t. Gen. John R. Hodge in
Korea-during a period of growing
tension in relations with Russia.
Early assumption of top American
authority in those areas by civilians
would not have meant withdrawal
of Army occupation troops. They
would have remained for police
duty.
Problems Left to Commanders.
One effect of postponement of any
change is to make it clear that the
direct handling of occupation prob
lens with Russia and other Allies
will be left up to the American mill
tary commanders indefinitely.
An immediate factor in the an
nouncement was understood to be
representation by Gen. Clay that
reports of an imminent change had
weakened his hand in dealing with
the Soviet, British and French COM
manders in Germany
The move also has particular sig
niflcance in Korea, now split into
American and Russian occupation
zones.
Soviet Suggestion Rejected.
! Russia had proposed immediate
withdrawal of all occupation forces
from Korea-American soldiers from
the southern zone and Soviet troops
from the north.
/ The United States formally re-
! jected this suggestion in note de-
livered in Moscow Saturday and
made public here yesterday.
The American note pointed out
that this Government has put the
problem of early independence for
Korea before the United Nations,
proposing u N. supervision of cleo
tions there for establishment of a
unified government.
I'm the opinion of the United
States Government" it added, "the
question of withdrawal of occupa-
ton forces from Korea must be
considered an integral part of the
solution of that problem"
While the State Department an
nouncement left the impression that

Bipartisan Group Asked
To Confer at White House
Thursday Afternoon

President Truman today called
congressional leaders of both
parties to a White House con-
ference at 2::3O pm. Thursday
for further discussion of emer-
gency foreign aid"
In announcing the call, Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross refused
to say if the question of an extra
session of Congress would be
taken up
It is the second time in recent
weeks that the President has called
the congressional leaders in to con-
'sider Europe's plight, the first meet
ing on September % having resulted
in a decision to bring Foreign Affairs
and Appropriations Committees Of
both Senate and House here in ad-
vance of the January convening
date of Congress to map foreign
aid legislation.
Same Members Invited.
Invitations to the Thursday ses-
sion went out today to these Re
publicans:
Chairman Vandenberg of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, Chairman Bridges of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee,
Senate Majority Leader White,
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of
the Senate COP Policy Committee;
Speaker Martin, House Majority
Leader Halleck. Chairman Eaton OF
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee and Chairman Taber of the
House Appropriations Committee.
These Democrats we're invited:
Senate Minority Leader Barkley,
Senator Connally of Texas, ranking
minority member of the Foreign
Relations Committee: House Min
ority Leader Rayburn and Repre-
sentative Bloom of New York, rank
ing minority member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
This is the same congressional
lineup called to the White House
in September and Mr.. Ross said he
did not know if the list would be
supplemented as it was on that oc-
casion by representatives of the
State and Agriculture Departments
and Federal lending agencies.
Will Discuss Whole Subject.
Mr.. Ross said he did not know
what they were going to do-that
they were simply going to discuss
the whole subject of foreign relief.
He said that some of the con-
gressional leaders might be absent
from Washington and in such events
they would send alternates to repre-
sent them.
Since the September meeting, the
Foreign Affairs Committees of both
Houses have agreed to get together
here November 10, but there has
been no decision from the Appro-
priations Committees.
