TOYKO, Jure 18-iR-Aliied au- thorities, describing food conditions here as comparable with those of Germany, declared today that the people of Japan-especially those dependent on official rations-will feel the pinch" of hunger in the next few morths.
 The food situation will not result in mass starvation, headquarters officials said. Japanese will be able to supplement rations from blackmarket food stocks, mostly food not turned over to the Gov ernment by farmers.
 The Government will resort to a skip plan" eliminating occasional rations-in an attempt to spread evenly food supplies on hand and those which will become available during the summer, the Allied sources said.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Leaders of the Chicago real estate industry have recently issued amazing advice to landlords-n namely, that they should deliberately disregard the law and raise rents regardless of government regulations.
 Real estate leaders point out in a confidential bulletin not SUD- posed to be read by the public that "the government is now rely ing almost wholly on tenant en- forcement of rent control regula- tion."
 Therefore, Chicago landlords are advised: the only possibility for relief now seems to lie in the direc- tion of deliberate disregard for the regulations" The underlining is not ours. It's supplied by the Chicago realtors.
 They go on to hint one good way to help raise rents illegally is to get the Republican Congress to hold down Congressional appropriations for the government agency replac- ing the OPA.
 If the appropriation for OPA's successor is held at low levels" the confidential real estate letter ad-

Socialist Leader Puts Tough Question Plainly Before
 Former Vice President

NEW YORK, June 18.1R-So- cialist leader Norman Thomas ask ed Henry A. Wallace today in an open letter: Do you reject the the ory that Communist totalitarianism, using the Red Army and it's other army, the international Communist movement, is relent lessly, patiently and boldly seek ng world power?"
 Writing as chairman of the Post War World Council, Thomas con- tinued in a letter he made public.
 If you reject this theory, on what grounds do you explain the Rus sian tactics in Korea, Manchuria, the Balkans. Hungary, Australia and Germany-or the Communist Party policies throughout the world?"
 Thomas, commenting on the for mer Presidents speech in Washington Monday night, told him with great many of your specific proposals and with your estimate of the value of third party (but not if it is Communist controlled am in agreement. Alphabetically, I agree that peace must be sought boldly on better lines than the Truman administration is now fol- lowing"
 But I have grave doubts about your own program for peace, Thomas declared, adding that Wal lace might possibly remove some of the doubts by answering his questions. The New Republic maga- zine which Wallace edits, said the letter had been received but Wal lace had not seen it.

House Minority Claim COP Economy Drive Hope
 IessIy Begged Down

WASHINGTON, June 18.-tR- Democrats tossed out a set of fi- gures today to back up their claim that the Republican economy drive has "fuzzled and hopelessly begged down."
 Republican leaders, meanwhile, renewed their long dormant efforts to nail down a Senate-House agree ment on just how much to try to cut President Trumans $37,500, ,000,- GOO budget for the fiscal year be- ginning July l.
 The House earlier this year for mally promised to whack $6,000,- 100000 off that spending estimate, but the Senate voted only $4,500,- 100000 saving pledge.
 Democrats in both chambers con- tended at the time that each fi- gure was far too high.
 In the House minority party members picked Rep. Gore (Tenn as their "bookkeeper" to keep track of Republican cuts.
 Today as the House resumed dis cussions of the $8,167, ,869,027 inde- pendent offices appropriations bill Gore claimed bona fide" reductions to date total only $1,875, ,716,750. Republicans are claiming more than twice that much. Gore added in lengthy state ment accompanied by several sets of figures that purely phony budget cut claims" have reached total of 2,699, l50.000.

Statement Will Be Made Whether Legislation Is
 Signed or Vetoed

WASHINGTON June 18.-R- President Truman decided today to forego his weekly news conference to work on a message to Congress on the Labor Union Control Bill.
 MT. Truman will send message to Congress Friday, regardless of whether he signs or vetoes the bill.
 Eben Ayers, Assistant Press Sec retary, said heavy volume of mail continued to pour into the White House concerning the legislation with heavy majority favoring a veto." Ayers said the volume of communications about the measure is by far the greatest ever received by MT Truman on any single legis- lative issue or other controversy.
 Top Democratic and Republican leaders have predicted that the House will vote to override in event the President decides to veto the legislation. But they were un- certain of the outcome in the Sen- ate.
 Ayers estimated that 157,000 to 158,000 letters, more than 500000 cards and 25,000 telegrams had been received through Monday. House leaders definitely expect veto though President Truman told re- porters at Princeton, N. J., yester- day T haven't made up my mind yet'
 He said he will send a message to Congress Friday.

Great Forest Blaze Raging
 On kenai Peninsula; Game
 Seeks Refuge from Flames

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June 18.- R Smoke darkened the western Alaska sky today as great forest blaze, covering an estimated 100 square miles, ravaged the Kenai Peninsula's rich spruce, herded droves of terrified game before it and forced the little animals of the woods to seek refuge in the regions many lakes.
 "The smoke is rising to 25,O00 feet 50 high we must fly around it." said Pilot Gentry Schuster of the Seward Safeway Airways, adding he saw flames leaping 100 feet into the air.
 Forming it the biggest fire I've seen in seven years" Pilot Ward Gay of Sea Airmotive said he feared the entire peninsula would be swept unless rain came to check the flames. The Weather Bureau said there was no indication of an early rainfall.
 Two sportsmen stalled in the Kenai River district by dense smoke were flown out yesterday when a plane succeeded in making a land ing. Other sportsmen camped in the Skilak Lake area moved to the southwest side of the river. AL though the stream is 300 yards wide it was feared the blaze might jump it should high wind arise.
 A new fire in the Anchorage area had covered 300 acres by last night, burning just two miles from the General Hospital at Fort Richard son. Delegate Bartlett reported yes- terday from Washington 'some money would be made available for the Alaska Fire Control Service (by the Interior DepartmenD, although it probably would be considerably less than for the current fiscal year."

NEGOTIATIONS PROCEED

 A quick settlement of CIO differ ences with west coast shipowners 1. today, while only the first disrup- /. tive effects of threatened ship 7 ping paralysis were being felt was predicted by Labor Department trouble shooter.
 T may be an incurable optimist but anticipate settlement be- tween the two unions tthe radio operators and the cooks stewards ] and the employers to result from ! this mornings meeting" said Na- than Feinsinger.
 He arrived only yesterday from Washington He wound up his first day of efforts by saying that his toughest problem appeared solved. This was to get the marine cooks and stewards and the shipowners to come to terms. Without announc- ing the details. Feinsinger said last night this virtually was accomplish ed.
 Ships Tied Up This union yesterday gave the west coast its first taste of a pos sible shipping tieup by refusing to sign sailing papers, in the absence of contract to replace the one expired June 15. As a consequence, 10 ships scheduled to leave for such points as Yokohama, Alaska and Honolulu, stayed in port at Van- couver. Wash, Seattle, San Fran cisco and Los Angeles-Long Beach. Feinsinger scheduled both single and joint meetings today with the two unions and the employers. The cooks had represented their de- mands as embracing a years re- newal of contract, minus wage changes. but with an immediate wage review. The latter condition proved the initial stumbling block.
 The radio operators tAmerican Communications Association) also sought a years extension, the basis of agreement which already has netted the signing of IT west coast contracts. But the union asked for some changes in working condi- tions.
 Feinsinger pointed up the import ance of a quick settlement saying he believed if today didn't wind up the trouble the situation might drag on for some time"
