DID NOT SAY II,
 HE ASSERTS
Takes Exception to Maga- zine Article About What
 Started US. Jap War

NEW YORK, Sept. 26-tR- Her. bert Hoover says that he was mis- quoted by a magazine writer who wrc,e that the former President told him this country would never have been attacked by the Japanese if we had not given them provoca- ton"
 Hoover, in a letter to Sumner N. Blossom, editor of the American Magazine. suggested last night that since the article in the September issue of the magazine had been quoted in the press, the statement requires specific correction
 The former President said that the writer, Sidney Shalett, must have confused this with statements from interviews with someone else, as not cnlv would I not have made such an indictment of whole na- tion including myself, but also it is a contradiction to many other places where I am on public record
 In Washington, Shalett said that the statement was made to me by MT Hoover. and the quotation ex- acty as I wrote it appears in my notebook. I am quite sure, however, that MT. Hoover is perfectly sincere in his statement that he did not say it."

BRITAIN E READY
 T0END MANDATE
 RULE, PALESTINE
Problem Placed Right in Lap of Unified Nations
 Declaration Made

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 26.-tR-- Britain announced today that she had decided to end her 25-year mandate rule over Palestine if the United Nations failed to find a settlement of the Holy Land prob lem acceptable to both Jews and Arabs
 The Colonial Secretary, Arthur Creech-Jones, advised the General Assemhly's 55-nation Palestine committee that the problem of enforcing any unpopular settle ment would have to be handled by the U. N itself-and not Brit ain.
 This was seen as a virtual de- claration that Britain would be ready to pull out on fixed date, since there appeared to be little chance of the U N. finding a solution acceptable to both Jews and Arabs.
 Creech-Jones also declared that Britain was ready to surrender her League of Nations mandate over the strife-torn Holy Land regardless of the nature of the Assemblys final decisions.
 A British spokesman made it clear that the question of term mating the mandate and the ques- ton of withdrawing entirely from Palestine were separate matters He explained that Britain would be willing to continue in Pales- tine in a different status after the mandate was ended if Arab Jewish agreement could be reach ed. This could take the form of a United Nations trusteeshir administered by Britain in place of the mandate.

CREDIT BUYER RESISTANCE IN
 PRICE EASING
Scattered Reports of Low ering Prices on Butler,
 Eggs, Fresh Meats
By The Associated Press

Some high-flying food prices were losing altitude in scattered cities throughout the countries to- day, and buyer resistance was credited with halting the upward price spiral in several of the lines.
 In Washington, Senator Fland- CTS (R-VT), chairman of joint Congressional subcommittee inves- tigating the high prices of food and clothing, said Congress would be asked to apply controls" un- less commodity exchanges curtail what he described as excessive speculation" in grains and foods.
 Flanders said recel5 inquiries by his committee had failed to dis close any evidences of profiteer- ing by food retailers, whole salers or distributors, and that he believed we will have to move back toward the commodity ex- changes and the farmers
 Flanders suggestion two weeks ago for a 100 percent margin re- quirement on all grain transact ions caused a sharp price drop on the Chicago Board of Trade. As Chicago, New York, Phila- delphia, Kansas City and Denver reported retail butter price drops from week ago ranging up to 13 cents a pound, Dun and Brad street reported that buying of lux ury items had decreased throughout the nation. There were also scat tered reports of drops in the re- tail prices of eggs and fresh meats.

By JAca. DML

PORTLAND. Ore. Sept. 26.-lh Republican politicians of Wash
 ington and Oregon credited Sena- tor Taft tR-Ohio) today with only an outside chance to obtain more than scattering support among lthe two states 3l delegates to the COP nominating convention next year.
 Taft, who talks tonight at a
 Young Republican meeting in Gearhart, Ore. has been holding conferences with leaders of the two states in between 8 series or speeches topped by last nights proposal in Tacoma that the United States take the lead ito perfect a United Nations without Russia.
 His appearance in Tacoma was accompanied by the picketing to which he has become accustomed but without the noisy display en- countered at Seattle About 50 placard- bearing nickets marched in circle, singing but orderly while Taft entered mnoticed by the stage entrance.
 He told the Tacoma World Af- fairs Council that if Russia con tinues to make 1t difficult to operate the present international organization in the interests Of
 peace and justice, T believe we should proceed without Russia to perfect a United Nations that will operate in a limited field
 We have perfected such an or ganization with the Latin-Ameri- can nations which may serve as an example to the rest of the world, the Ohio Senator declared in speech setting out the full outline of his views on international af- fairs
 Considered one of the most im-
 portant addresses of his western
 political pulse taking trip. Taft's
 exposition of his foreign policy
 views left him definitely in the camp of Senator Arthur Vanden- berg Mich), chief Republican exponent of the bipartisan foreign policy.
 In fact. Taft proposed that the United States follow what he call ed .'The Vandenberg Plan in dealing with Germany, instead Of what he said was the so-called "Morgenthau Plan" of reducing Germany to an agricultural state tarely able to sustain herself. There is only one way in which Germany can be effectively con- trolled," he declared That is to control the production of a linn ,ited number of essential products. The vandenberg plan proposes that we stay in Germany indefinitely, but only to prevent re-armament Inveighing against the possibility : of what he termed an "interna- i tional WPA,' the Ohio Senator said that the proposed Marshall Plan of aiding Europe economi- ! cally should be limited to loans for specific purpose and only to pay for goods shipped from the United States

The W ashlngton Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = None of the newsmen travelling with President Truman on the battleship Missouri wrote anything about it, but they had quite a battle with the Navy over censorship of the press.
 What the Navy wanted censored was not a military secret, but the fact that the battleship was equip ped with a ladies toilet, plus cer- tain details of Father Neptune S initiation of "Polliwogs' when the Missouri crossed the Equator.
 The four neWsmen on whom the Navy frowned were: hard-punch- ing Windsor Booth of Time Mag azine; erudite Charles P. Trussell of the New York Times; United Press correspondent Merriman Smith; and Jce Short of the Baltimore Sun.
 Crossing-the-Eq Equator ceremonies had been prepared by the ships crew long in advance-in fact when they rented S400 worth of costumes back in Norfolk. Va. For days, also, those sailors previously ini- tiated had been whiting pad dles and shillelaghs, gloating over uninitiated victims. So the cere- mony was rought. It was even rough for one of the top White House dignitaries, John Steelman who was dumped abruptly back ward, eight feet, into pool of water. Steelman, however, took it like a sport.

For the 1000 gobs who never before had crossed the Equator, it was even rougher. They under went mock" surgical operations with electrically charged knives on an operating table. They were ducked until they yelled Royal Shellback!" And they had to run the gauntlet of 50 to 300 fellow sailors armed with paddles and canvas bags of water
