Formosa Governor
Accused by Powell II
Reign Of Terror
By the Associated Press

SHANGHAI, Mar. 31.-John w
Powell, editor of the magazine
China Weekly Review, charged to-
day that Formosa's governor gen.
eral, Chen vi, has coupled trickery
with a reign Of terror probably not
equalled in China in the history OF
the Kuomintang governing party)
virtually to suppress the Formosa
revolution" 10 ~ '''oF 80
Mr.. Powell said disturbances are
continuing only in the more re-
mote sections, but that, by conser-
vatiye estimates, 5000 Formosans
already are listed as dead and thou
sands have been imprisoned. He
published his report after return
ing from visit to the big island
which was returned to Chinese con-
troll after the defeat Of Japan.
The Central News Agency-omA
cial government organ-previously
termed the Forrnosan disorders
open and widespread rebellion. Nc
immediate comment on the Powell
report was forthcoming from gov
ernment sources.
Governor Plays Down Affair.
when interviewed about these
events, Gov. Chen vi deprecated
the whole affair, saying it was really
quite Insignificant, being local
incident caused by hard elements ~
Mr.. Powell's report said.
HE (the governor) said it would
never have become at all serious
if he had just had troops on hand.
He also blamed the Communists.

stated emphatically that there were
no signs of any Communist activity
and that they did not believe there
were any Communists to speak of
on the island"
The uprising against the Chinese
administration which began Febru-
ary %. Mr.. Powell said, followed "a
year and a half of fragrant misrule'
in which Formosans were squeezed
and oppressed far worse than when
ruled by the Japanese. Since then

Unimaginable Atrocities.
Government troops perpetrateo
some of the most unimaginable
atrocities" Mr.. Powell-son of the

wrote, concluding that:
with the situation what it is ir
China today, there is little hope
that anything constructive can be
done in time to save the island eco

States Heat Wave Moves Forward To East Coast
(By The Associated Press

The Sun-toasted midwest lost some of its heat and dry criSpness today as moderate temperatures returned after a three-day heat wave and widespread rains came t) ,he Ohio valley.
 But Texans had new weather worry the tropical hurricane which dallied near Tampico, Mex ico, and posed the threat of its 00-mile-an-hour winds might sweep northward into the United States.
 The Mexican storm, major disturbance, has centered near the oil port 252 miles south of Browns vile. Tex, for two days. This morning, it's fringes battered Tam pico with 90 to 95 mile winds. However, there was no immediate indication that it would strike Texas.
 Except for the sweltering At lantic States, scattered cooling showers or thunderstorms within the past 48 hours had sent temper atures back into the 80's or lower 90's over most of the midwest.
 P. F. Sutton, federal weather forecaster at Chicago, said soak ing rains were widespread throughout the Ohio valley last night from the Mississippi River to the Appalachian region and that they were expected to con- tinue today.
 More scattered light showers were expected in Minnesota and eastern portions of the Dakotas, but general rains still were need ed in the Great Plains states where some crops continued to deterio- rate because of lack of moisture.
 The northwest which has had two days of temperatures in the high 90's would have to wait at least another "A hours for relief, the forecaSter said, adding that the whole region would continue warm today.

Committee Will Recommend Govt. Public Airfields

WASHINGTON, (P) - A Con- gressional committee returns to Washington today from Alaska reportedly convinced that the United States should lose no time developing commercial bases in the Territory just snort distance from Siberian Russia.
 Rep. Leonard w. Hall R.-N. YD who arrived ahead of the other House interstate committee mem- bers who made the trip. said he believes the group will recommend prompt enactment of legislation next year to build airfields at An chorage and Fairbanks.
 Such a bill already has been ap- proved by the committee, but the House itself has not acted on t. It contemplates spending Sl3,00G, 900 for bases at the two strategic Alas kan cities.
 While the army has large land ing fields at both Anchorage and Fairbanks, Hall said, there are not adequate separate facilities for the large commercial planes which already are making daily flights to and from Alaska.
 A look at a map, Hall told news men, demonstrates the importance of Alaska from an aviation stand point. Long-range planes can fly from Alaskan fields to almost ev- cry important city in the world via the Great Circle route.
 Hall said the army has large con c e n rations of long-range bombers stationed in Alaskh and is anxious to have exclusive use of it's own landing fields.
 He added that committee con- versations with army leaders in- dicated that the war department and the navy "are fully aware of the strategic value of Alaska and the necessity of keeping ourselves strong up there"

2nd Anniversary Of VI Day; Yet
 No Peace Tretay
By The Associated Press

Dy IN -AoSSN'1NSN' A Nsps''
 The greatest war in history came to an end two years ago yesterday, August IA, l945, with the surren- der of Japan.
 The surrender announcement was made in a broadcast by Elm peror Hirohito. the earnest little man whose powers have been wiped away in these last years, but whose people still treat him with reverence.
 General Douglas Macarthur is in charge now, and from him yes terday came a message to his oc- cupation forces reminding them that "the victorious end of battle became the beginning of an equal ly vital campaign to secure the peace"
 We now enter the last phase in Japan of this test of our strength" he added. Tt is you men and wo- men, military and civilian, who have composed the Allied forces of occupation who are bringing this task to a successful conclu- Sion."
 The Socialist premier of Japan, Tetsu Katayama, noted the anni- versary, too. He called upon his countrymen to stress science, labor if they would become a thorough ly peaceful nation.
 We are now living in war devastated land" Katayama said in a statement. We must clean and level up this scorched earth and build upon it an ideal nation based on peace through the United effort of all the people,"
 The conquered Japan will be opened tomorrow to limited for eign trade, but the peace treaty for which the Japanese yearn, is still in the future. Preliminary talks may start shortly, however, at the insistence of the United States.
 A call for a prompt peace was made in a VI day broadcast by President Manuel A. Roxas of the Philippine Republic. He said the peoples of Asia "are clamoring for speedy conclusion" of the treaty and said it lis essential to restora- tion of mutually beneficial econo- mic relations and will provide stabilizing influence in this part
