 PURCHASE
 BIG LINE
CAB Examiner Approves of Sale of Overseas Air.
 lines, Ine., 10 Pan Am

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22--R--A Civil Aeronautics Board examiner recommended today approval of the proposed sale of American Over seas Airlines, Inc, to Pan Ameri- can Airways, Inc, for $l7,450,0C0
 The recommendation was made by examiner Thomas l.. Wrenn. It will be considered by the five member CAB for a further recom- mendation to President Truman. The final decision rests with him in all matters relating to interna- tional airlines.
 Wrenn suggested that certain conditions intended to protect em- ployees should be attached to the purchase agreement.
 He also proposed that Pan As erican, the worlds largest inter- national airline, be allowed to &C., quire American Overseas permit to operate across the Atlantic as well as it's assets.
 American Overseas connects New York and other points in the Unit ed States with London, Frankfurt Germany and the Scandinavian capitals. It holds seven-year temporary authorization issued af- ter the 1945 transatlantic air pol icy decision.
 At that time only three airlines were given permits to fly the At lantic. The third operator is Trans world Airlines, which has bitterly fought the proposed sale.

RUSS WALK OUT ON
 JAPAN PRISONER
 REPATRIATION TALK
By RUSSELL BRINES

TOKYO, Dec. 22-tR-Genera Macarthur has denounced "callous' Soviet hypocrisy" and started g move for independent investigation of the fate of 376,000 missing Jap- anese war prisoners captured by the Russians.
 He said he had requested Wash mgton to begin negotiations for an Investigation either by a neutral nation or the International Red Cross.
 The American occupation com- mander issued one of his strongest attacks against the Soviets after a Russian walkout of the Allied Council for Japan yesterday This was followed by renewed Russian charges the United States was assisting the revival of Japanese Fascism.
 UNDER SIEGE
 The Soviet mission was under determined siege by 200 Japanese representatives of anxious relatives of missing war prisoners. They were told the Soviet answer to requests for information on further re- patriation. appeared in this morn ing's papers" Presumably this re- 1erred to letter charging "oppres- sion" by the Japanese government which It. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko head of the Soviet mission, had addressed to General MacArthur.
 MacArthur said the. letter showed "a callousness of hypocrisy I can not fail to denounce." He termed it a smoke screen to distract atten- ton from the repatriation issue.
 w. J. Sebald, head of the Occu- patton Diplomatic Section, earlier had termed the letter "unadulter- sted twaddle."
 The Japanese crowd around the Soviet mission became clamorous al times. Once Russian guards pushed them back when they, attempted to enter the compound.
 REDS PROMISED ANSWER
 The delegation went to the En- bassy to keep what It's leaders said was an appointment made last week with Soviet officials who promised answers to questions on repatriation. The Japanese said they represented the Tokyo chap ter of the Council for Acceleration of the Repatriation of Japanese Abroad"
 Sehald told the Council yester- day, after the Russian walkout, that probably 374,041 of the missing Japanese prisoners had died in Soviet prison camps. He read a lengthy account of the Russians treating prisoners brutally in ais regard for humanity"

 VASHINGTON-Last year, Am erican GI's, spending Christmassin in Germany, raised $247,000 to bring brighter Christmas to the Ger man children of the U. s. zone.
 A G. Is pay is not munificent, and most of them were spending rather lonesome Christmases them selves compared with that at home. However, they contributed gener- ously to the children of men who once had been their enemies.
 This Christmas, the American Legion. led by far-sighted Comdr George Craig, has launched an ap- peal to all Americans to collect toys one day after Christmas for the children of Europe. Coming as it does from the veterans who fought the war, this represents one of the most significant moves in America.
 Leaders of the old Legion, in the days following World War I, were among those who helped take this country back into it's shell of iso- lation, helped inevitably to head us back on the path of war again. But the new Legion is fully aware of the fact that wars l1Sllallv come in 20-year cycles. that the children of today can be either our friends or the enemy soldiers of tomorrow, and that the time to prevent war is by building good will long in advance of crisis.
 To this end, the Legion is ask ing the nation to cooperate in col- lecting toys immediately after Christmas for shipment to the kids
