WASHINGTON, (P)-Commer- cial air passenger service has started between the United States and Tokyo along with an Ameri- can move to open Japan to gen. eral international civil aviation.
 The state department disclosed yesterday that the United States authorized service on a tempor- ary basis by Pan American Air ways and Northwest Airlines pend ing action by the ll-nation far eastern commission on a general civil aviation policy proposed for Japan by the United States dur ing allied occupation.
 Since American forces moved into Japan two years ago air transport service has been limited to military planes. American lines were permitted to make fuel stops but not to discharge or take on passengers.
 The temporary service by the two United States carriers coin cides with the first steps to shift Japanese postwar foreign trade to private commercial channels. It was authorized, officials said, pri- marily to provide transportation to Tokyo of 400 foreign traders for whom Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur, as supreme commander, has authorized visits beginning Aug. 15.
 Northwest Airline officials said they started accepting passengers for Tokyo last week. Northwest operates from both Minneapolis and Seattle three times weekly, connecting at Anchorage, Alaska.
 Pan American Airways, oper- ating across the Pacific via Hono- lulu, has asked MacArthur for permits for several charter flights to take foreign traders to Tokyo pending the start of regular sched- ules.
 Northwest has been operating through Japan to China since July Is, but hitherto was not permitted to take on or discharge passen- gers in Japan.
 The operating authority for the two airlines is for passengers only, excluding cargo and mail.

pants and a maroon woolen sweater.

woods in the hope that the boy
would see them and find his way
out. Around midnight, the Navy
sent food out for the searchers.

searchers found tracks Of small
boy and a dog about half mile
from the Andrews home. They were

Curb on DistiIIei Use.
OF Grain, Dark Bread
Mentioned for Drive

Revival of controls over distiller
use of grain and a return to darker
bread through higher flour extrac-
ton rate were listed by Agriculture
Department sources today as posi-
bilities" in the event Congress grants
President Truman authority to ex-
pand the food conservation program.
A. spokesman insisted, however,
that the department has not pre-
pared any specific legislation for
Congress and that proposals are still
in the discussion stage.
Feed Grain Control Mentioned.
Other possibilities listed by depart
ment sources included:
Control the amount Of grain going
| to mixed feed manufacturers.
A bonus program calling for pre-
MUM payments to producers send
ing their livestock to market at or
below specific weights. This would
help conserve grain by discouraging
marketing of livestock at excessive
and uneconomical (from the stand
point of grain savings) weights.
A return of some of the depart
ment's war food orders that placed
rigid controls on many segments
of the food and feed industries.
Truman Cited Bonus Propram.
The bonus marketing program
was cited as a possibility in Mr..
Truman's S 10-point program for COM
batting imitation. The President
asked Congress for authority for
measures that would induce mar
keting of livestock and poultry at
weights and grades that represent
the most efficient utilization OF
grain. =,
A spokesman observed that 1t
would be out of the question to die
tate to farmers the amount of grain
they could feed their livestock. Ac-
cordingly, any program would have
to start at the marketing level.
Would Broaden Program.
Mr.. Truman's request for legisla-
ton to enable the department to
expand its program OF encouraging
conservation practices was under
stood to envision a broadening OF
the voluntary food conservation pro-
gram now being conducted by the
Citizens Food Committee.
Committee Chairman Charles
Luckman has indicated his goal OF
savings an extra 00,000,000 bushels
of grain for feeding Europe would
