Far East Commission
Pushes Japanese Pac1
Talks, Dulles Says
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. John
Foster Dulles said yesterday the
United States and other members
Of the 13-nation Far Eastern
Commission are continuing talks
which they hope will lead to q
japanese peace treaty, but no de-
cisions on content or procedure
have been made yet.
Mr.. Dulles. Republican adviser
to the State Department. said
these informal consultations are
a continuation of those he initiated
last October at President Tru-
mans request, and are also going
on through normal diplomatic
channels in Washington.
Russia is still being consulted
as evidenced by the fact that Mr.
Dulles gave Soviet Deputy For
eign Secretary Jacob A. Malik q
note last Thursday answering
Kremlin questions about the
United States attitude.
Won't Permit Russian Veto.
This communication said II
part:
/. The United States will moi
permit Russia to veto the peace
treaty 1t feels Japan has earned
through its postwar conduct.
2. Disposition of Formosa and
other former Japanese territory
must wait on the final treaty and
must be in accord with the United
Nations Charter.
3. The United States believes II
reasonable for Japan, following
conclusion of the treaty, to make
her own defense arrangements
and this might include stationing
of United States forces there.
4. There should be no limits on
Japanese peacetime economy.
No reply has yet been received
to this note.
Mr.. Dulles said several methods
Of assuring that Russia will not
stymie conclusion of a treaty are
being studied. One of them, he
said. called for a series of indi-
vidual treaties between Japan and
the countries which fought her in
the Pacific.
Speed Enough on Treaty.
This. he emphasized, is no Of.
fetal American policy but merely
one suggested method of procedure
which would have to be approved
by a majority of the countries
concerned.
This country hopes, he said, thai
the treaty or treaties will be con-
cluded as soon as possible, but
no time schedule has yet been sci
up.
Countries consulted, besides
Russia. are Britain, Australia
Burma. Canada. France. India. the
Netherlands. New Zealand, Paki-
stan and the Philippines. So fan
as is known here neither the Chi
nese Nationalists nor the Com.
munist Peiping regime have beer
asked for their views.

are in sight to put the defense
program on the pay-as-you-go
basis advocated by President Tru-
man. Definite plans still are to be
worked out, but it is expected that

l6 Homes Blasted By Series Natural Gas Explosions

ROCHESTER, NY, (P), Stunned citizens of fashionable suburban Brighton today half-heartedly be- gan picking up debris from a ser ies of terrific natural gas explo- SionS that shredded or set fire to 31 residences.
 Three persons died yesterday in the explosions, which sent homes in an eight-block area booming skyWard with a noise Hike a gi- ant string of firecrackers." An estimated 20 to 25 persons were injured. Observers likened tn e damage and noise to that of block buster bombs.
 New York States state safety commissioner, Thomas w. Ryan, arrived early today to join many pronged investigation into tn e cause of the blast, which probably caused damage of approximately 100000.
 AS the state, Monroe County, city and town of Brighton officials began an investigation, the presi- dent of the Rochester Gas & Elec- tric Go. said a workman's lantern may have touched off the chain reaction explosions.
 Alexander B. Beebee added that regulator valve in a principal main apparently failed. He said an explosive mixture may have accumulated then in the regula- tor vault beneath the street and been ignited through a vent by a lantern left nearby at a sidewalk construction project.
 Fifteen homes were demolished and 16 others damaged by the ex- plosions or resulting fires. Three persons were hospitalized. Two of the victims were burned seriously, another cut by flying debris. The injured included six firemen.

A crippled DC-3, carrying four persons, roared down on Inter national Airport at Anchorage on Sept, IT, in an emergency land ing without brakes, marking the unexpected and unofficial open ing of the $11, ,5OO,OOO field five miles southwest of Anchorage.
 Jack Jefford, veteran Alaskan pilot, brought the twin-engined Douglas to a halt 5000 feet after the wheels touched the runway, despite the fact that mechanical failure made braking facilities on the plane useless.
 Construction crews working on the field rushed to clear the 5000 foot east-West runway of construc- ton equipment and trucks after Jefford radioed that his brakes were gone and he needed a long field on which to make an emer- gency landing.

While it is not legal to have lottery in the United States the Congress of the nation has about decided to impose gambling tax to secure revenue which the nation needs.
 The House, which first developed the idea, est- mated the levy commercalized gambling would yield $4OOOO0,O0O year. The Senate approved the gambling tax, although some members highly du- bious to how much money the levy will actually turn into the treasury, since 1t deals with an activity which is illegal in most states.
 The gambling tax imposes ten per cent excise on all bets on sporting events elections other tests made with bookmakers other persons accept ing wagers for profit It applies to bets with lottery operators and to wagers placed in pool in any sports event and S5O-a-year occupational tax on persons accepting bets receiving them from book1nakers
 Most of the revenue is expected to come from off track horse race and numbers betting. Specifically cluded friendly bets between persons who not commercial gamblers card games such poker rou- lette wheels and bingo games.
 Senator Estes Kefauver, of Tennessee, argued against the levy the ground that tax gambling would give color of legality to enterprises the government ought to be trying to shut down. There is logic to his contenon of course If the levy gambl- ing gets the statute books the danger is that the next step will be to egaize betting in order to make sure that the excise tax is collected
