TIGHTENS CONTROLS,
 Exp0RT 5

WASHINGTON, March 26.-tR- President Truman today slapped tight controls on exports of airplanes and airplane parts, chasing them with other war materials.
 The White House made public a Presidential proclamation revising effective April 15, the list of things which cannot be shipped from this country except under special license.
 It designates as munitions such things as small arms and machine gums and fire control equipment and range finders as we'll as aircraft.
 Congress members have been eiamoring for frightened export con- trols since it was disclosed earlier this week that some airplane en- zines, sold by the Government as war surplus, were eventually sent to Russia hy private buyers.
 The United States has stopped all exports to Russia and her satel- lites except materials the Army and Navy say it is all right to send.
 Secretary of Commerce Hartman told a news conference today that this policy has been in effect since March l. The purpose is to keep from the Soviets and their puppets all materials which might contribute to their war potential
 Hartman explained the Army and Navy in effect have a veto power over the Commerce Departments issuance of licenses for exports to Russia.
 But Hartman declared that trade with Eastern Europe will continue as way of keeping the door open" for Russia to continue as friendly nation.

 CH N GES
 HIS MIN D
ADB ConsuIfdnf Has Loss of Memory on Apology
 to Juneau Chamber

George Sundborg, Alaska Develop ment Board Consultant, changed his tune today following yester- days public geology to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for the in- advertent release of a publication containing derogatory remarks about 'Juneau's industrial possibil ities.
 In VICIOUS attack against his former employers, the Daily Alaska Empire, Sundborg released spec ial statement which was broadcast on KINY earlier today. Sundborg called yesterdays Empire account of the Chamber of Commerce meet ing bad reporting and declared anyone who could interpret my re- marks to the Chamber as public apology, should go back to school to learn the meaning of words"
 Denies Apology
 The ex-reporter denied his apcl- ogy which was made before about 25 members of the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce at it's regular weekly meeting. The Empire, to verify it's reporters accuracy made a spot check of those present in order to right the wrong if such existed.
 Upon interviewing several of those present, it was found that had been quoted accur- ately throughout the lengthy re- port. Each witness testified that had used the phrase T apologize for the pamphlet These witnesses, all reputable citizens of Juneau, also stated that Sundborg, using different words and phrases, apclogized several times throughout the 20 minutes in which he held the floor.
 Sundborg, however, refuses to ad- init now that he did apologize, and insists that the article has merit.

 Sponsored Govt.
(BY ROY ROBERTS)

SEOUL, March 26.- R South Korean political leaders today were invited to help establish Soviet sponsored government of Korea.
 The Russian controlled radio at Pyongyang, headquarters of the Russian occupation in North Korea, invited leaders of Rightist and Left ist and middle-of -the-road parties to a conference April IA. The broad cast was repeated twice.
 The United Nations has approved plans for an election May g in Amer ican Administered South Korea. It wanted to conduct nationwide el- ection, to give Korea self govern ment The Russians refused to let LIN Commission even enter North Korea for preliminary discussions.
 Southe Korean political leaders have been sharply divided on the LIN election plan.
 Three times today, the Pyongyang radio broadcast it's invitation to South Korea. The invitation was at tributed to the Peoples Committee of North Korea, which recently announced preparations to set up a Soviet-sponsored North Korean government-complete with a Red Star and Hammer Flag. and an Army.
 The invitations were directed es pecially to South Korean politicians who oppose the LIN election plan.
 They were invited to meet at Py- ongyang April IA
 The invitation was extended Spe- ifically to Kim Roo, chairman of the Korean Independence Party, and to other groups.
 Kim Roo and other political lead CTS are opposing plans for the JUN election on grounds it would parti- ton Korea.
 The only step remaining in the creation of Soviet-sponsored Dem ocratic Peoples Republic of Korea is the adoption of constitution. That has been under discussion in North Korea several weeks. Final consideration was postponed re- gently from mid March to mid-Aprl.

Special Board Is 10 Work Fast 10 Place Faets
 Before President

WASHINGTON, March 26.-IR- The coal strike Inquiry Board decid- ed today to hold open hearings on the miners pension dispute It plan ned a fast schedule so as to speed a report to President Truman.
 John L. Lewis and coal operators were summoned to the first public meeting at 2:30 pm. (EST) today.
 The Board elected Judge sherman Minton as chairman.
 Minton said the three-man Board intends to work steadily through the Easter holidays to speed its final report.
 All the Board has power to do is determine what arc shE facts in the dispute and report to the Presi- dent.
 But such report is necessary under the Taft-H Hartley Labor Law before the Government can turn to the courts and seek an order for the coal miners to stop their strike.
 President Truman indicated at a news conference yesterday that he will seek such court order when he can.
 The Board resolved to work 24 hours day if necessary" to get its report to MT. Truman
 The mine walkout, now in it's 18th day grew out of a pension fight be- tween Lewis and the soft coal oper- ators.
 The walkout closed the industry down tight, curtailed many indus tllal operators and caused Govern ment-ordered cuts in railroad pas- senger and freight service.
 John L. Lewis, although asked to appear, did not show up today at the first public meeting of the Pre- sident's coal strike finding board
 Instead, Lewis sent the board telegram which was delivered some time after the meeting began It said union representative could not ap- pear before the board at least until Monday because definitive study is being given to the legal questions involved"
