"unethical behavior and associa-
tons"
Chairman H. Courtenay Jenife1

the two jockeys as j. c. Gilbert
and Mike Sarno.
"As I understand it, it is a
question of associations Jenife1
said. 1T (the inveStigation) deals
in part with a Hartford County
man believed to be a bookmaker.
Brown said the IRA report
would be turned over to the COM
mission and that he assumed the
commissioners would consider ii
at a meeting September 13.
When asked about that, Jenife1
said the commission probably
would meet sooner if it got the
report "and found it serious"

that a player. paid more than
$4,000 to sign a major. AAA or AA

out without waivers. The bonus
amount for class A clubs is $4,000

The United STATES is pressing
hard to speed recovery and stabil-
ity in Japan.
Fresh evidence of this was seen
today in the disclosure of two Off
cial orders to Gen. Macarthur to
relax the purge of wartime mill
tary and government leaders, and
to study ways to strengthen the
japanese police.
The orders to the occupation
commander, issued in recent
weeks by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
came to light after being sub
mitted to the 11-nation Far East
ern Commission.
Diplomatic authorities indicated
that these, along with a series OF
earlier measures. represent a Shift
in American policy from reform
toward recovery which has taken
shape since George F.. Kennan,
top department policy planner, re-
turned from a survey trip to
Japan a year ago.
Macarthur Overruled.
The shift presumably is based
on recommendations made by Mr..
Kennan and Gen. Macarthur as
chances for agreement with Rus
sia on terms of japanese peace
treaty came to be virtually writ
ten off.
Some policy changes apparently
have been ordered over Gen. Mac
Arthur's objections. He has been
consulted all along. but inform
ants said he has been overruled
by Washington more often in re-
cent months than in the earlier
stages of the occupation.
One of the new directives. aimed
at curbing Communism, calls for
a restudy of existing policy. to
give japanese police more power
to cope with disorders.
The police were decentralized
early in the occupation to help
break up Japan's wartime system
of totalitarian control.
Gen. Macarthur struck directly
atCommunist influence last sum-
mer with his order to the Japa-
nese government to forbid strikes
by government employees. 1t later
was made law by the Parliament.

 ''It was a rocket of the ordinary type and nothing unusual in its construction" high American officer said.
 The officer said the incident had been filed away in the top secret category because it would have served no purpose to make it pulp lie at the time.
 The disclosure coincided with a new barrage of Soviet anti-West propaganda.
