Senators 10 Get Look
AT State Department
Policy Plan for Japan
BY the Assoeio,ed Pres,


The State Department plans to
give. the Senate Appropriations
Committee confidential look at a
policy plan for Japan which some
Congress members would reduce the
Asiatic nation to an agricultural.
state.
Senator Knokland. Republican, of
California, who disclosed this, said
he believes the Senate should find
out who drafted this directive,
whether Gen. Macarthur was con-
suited in advance about it and
whether it remains a part Of our
policy in dealing with Japan"
State Department officials asked
that the directive be kept secret
until they have had chance to
ask other nations on the Far East
ern Commission whether they ap-
prove making it public. The COM
mission fixes Allied policy toward
Japan.
The State Department, Senator
Knowland said, advised Chairman
Bridges of the committee that the
document has been withdrawn from
the commission for further study.
1t Is reported to provide for
breaking up the monopolies and
family trusts which controlled most
OF Japanese industry before and
during the war.
One Senator said he felt that In
effect it would be "Morgenthau
plan""for Japan.
A proposal by former Secretary OF
the Treasury Morgenthau, would
have deprived Germany of most OF
its industry, leaving it largely an
agricultural nation.

Man S|ugs Grocer, II,
With Hatchet, Serves
Customers, Escapes
by the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 18.-Police
sought young man today who
viciously attacked a 77-year-old
grocer with a hatchet, laid him un-
conscious in the rear Of the store
then calmly waited on customers
for more than an nour.
The grocer. George Lehr, was
found in a critical condition yes
terday-about five hours after the
attack occurred-behind some crates
at the store.
Discovery by an 8-year-old school
boy of Mr.. Lehr's keys in a vacant
lot several blocks from the store, led
to the investigation through which
he was found with gaping wounds in
his head.
Man Answers Phone.
Mrs. Mary Gelwicks told police
she entered the store shortly before
noon and to her surprise young
man was behind the counter waiting
on two other customers.
Mr.. Lehr's telephone rang and she
heard the stranger say "he's gone
now, but he'll be back in IS minutes
or half hour"
After she left the store, she be-
came suspicious, for Mr.. Lehr had
never had an assistant. So she re-
turned about Is minutes later, only
to find the store locked.
Other witnesses told of seeing the
stranger in the store as early as
1920 am.
Neighbor Finds Grocer.
After school hours, Richard
Griffin, 8, picked up the keys and
took them home to his mother. Mr.
Lehr's name was on them. So
Richard was sent to the Lauretta
avenue store He gave the keys to
Leo zerhusen, who lives above the
store. Mr.. zerhusen opened up and
found Mr.. Lehr.
His pockets. were turned inside
out and the cash register was empty.
Later, police went to the lot where
the keys we're found and picked up
what they said was undoubtedly the
weapon used in the attack-a bloody
hatchet.
The aged grocer's wife Margaret
is Ill with heart trouble and was not
told of the attack.

U.S.Lending Agencies ! ! {:
Are Tightening Credit i
Policy, Snyder Says.
By The Asseeiated Press

Government agencies which help
Americans obtain housing and
business loans are tightening up
their credit policies, Secretary Of
the Treasury Snyder says.
"The housing authorities have
been scrutinizing their policies to
tighten up inf1ationary pressures
and that has been true throughout
all the agencies" he told a news
conference yesterday.
In the business loan field, he OBJ
served, the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. has told its 81 field Offices
to restrict their actions guarding
particularly against "inf1ationary or
speculative loans"
Refuses Comment on Initiation.
Aside from RFC. the primary
function of Government agencies in
the lending field is to guarantee re-
payment of loans made by private
sources.
The Treasury chief refused to go
along with a reporters suggestion
that possibly after the first of this
year we might be turning the cor
ner on imitation"
What we have seen so far hasn't
been positive enough to be reassur-
ing that we are actually putting
brakes on inf1ation," he said.
Will Reduce Lending Ability.
Mr.. Snyder acknowledges that the
Government, now going into Its
peak season of tax collections. will
be able to reduce the lending ability
of banks in early 1948 by retiring
Government securities they hold.
He said the amount of debt re-
tirement will depend on the size OF
the budget surplus built up from
collections in excess of expenditures,
but refused to estimate how much
that will be.
In other quarters, a reporter OBJ
tanned estimates that the surplus
may be rolled up to as much as
81, ,000, 900 900 by next March 80 and
held at that figure until this fiscal
year ends Dune 80.
i President Trumans latest esti-
mate is that the surplus at the end
of this fiscal year will be $4,667 ,000,-
600 but he is expected to revise the
figure upward next month.

Boeing Tests Strafojet;'
May Become Worlds
Most Powerful Plane
BY ths As.oeioied Pres,

> MOSES LAKE, Wash, Dec. 1s.-|
The XB-47 Stratojet, described as
potentially the worlds most power
full plane, made its initial test hop
yesterday-on the 44th anniversary
of the Wright brothers first flight
at Kitty Hawk, N. c.
The Cotton Boeing bomber, pow
cred by six jet engines, was flown
from Seattle to Moses Lake. -.
Describing the ship as a Every
easy airplane to fly" after its So
minute, idling -along, 145-mile fight,
Pilot Robert Robbins. 81, said:
1--WE could take right off again
now, as far as the plane is con-
cerned."
Here are some Of the claims made
for the new-type plane, one of five
such jet-engine bombers now being
tested or about ready for tests in
this country:
1t should carry a lotion bomb
load at 500 miles an hour, or faster
Because of its speed and ability to
come back from missions fast,
crew OF only three Is needed.
1t can travel so fast that refrIger-
alton Is provided around the crew
compartment. to keep it cool from
air friction and resulting heat at
high speeds. The cabin is pressur-
lied and temperature controlled.
1t is one of two such planes
ordered by the Air Force from Boe-
ing and the concern has approxi-
mately s1o,0oo,OO0 tied up in the
work.
The plane, on its maiden flight.
was throttled down and the highest
speed was 280 miles an hour. Mr..
Robbins and Co-Pilot Scott Osler,
29. said last night.
A Boeing spokesman explained
that the claim of the greatest
power potential Of any plane was
approved by the Air Force and came
from the fact that it has 1000
pounds Chorsepower) thrust from its
six Jet engines, plus $4,000 pounds
from 18 JATO Get-assisted takeoff)
