Committee Meets In Last Effort for Govt. Reforms

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Citi- zens' Committee for the Hoover report assembled today to mobil- ize a laSt-ditch effort at further government reforms before going out of business May 31.
 Among the committees major targets are the governments two billion dollar a year medical ser vices, the massive Veterans Ad- ministration and the sprawling Department of Agriculture.
 President Truman sent a mes sage of welcome and announced he will recommend further reor- ganization plans to Congress this year. Of the 37 plans so far sub- mitted, 28 have been approved and one is pending-the reshuffle of the Veterans Bureau.
 But the American Legion Sun- day greeted the committee with a blast at what it called it's "fan- tastic" proposals to streamline the VA, and Secretary Brannan accused the committee of "de- structive criticism" of the Agri- culture Department.
 Former President Herbert Hoo yer will address Monday nights final session of the one-day meet ing.

Japanese Paper Asserts
 US. Troops Father 100000 Children Since End of War

TOKYO, The newspaper Yomiuri stood firm Monday be- hind it's assertion that US. troops had fathered 100000 bastards in Japan since the end of World War II.
 It said the figure was based on off-the-record data given by Jap anese government officials. The officials, it said, declined use of their names because they feared the "displeasure" of the occupa- ton.
 Another Japanese newspaper, Tokyo Shimbun, said the 100000 children were listed on govern ment food ration rolls.
 A US. occupation official and a Japanese government authority said the figure was far too high.
 'It's way off the beam," said an American officer in the pub- lie health and welfare division of occupation headquarters. He said the situation was "no worse here than in any seaport in our own country" He refused to be named.

Reds Question Allied Rejection of Russia On Neutral Inspection Comm
 By WILLIAM BORDEN

MUNSAN, Korea, (P) - The communists Monday challenged Allied rejection of Russia'S nomi- nation to a neutral inspection commission which would help po- lice Korean truce. The Reds de- clared that by every standard the Soviet Union qualities as a neu- tral.
 Red staff officers demanded that the JUN. Command explain it's ob- jection to RusSia's nomination. The neutral nation commission would make behind-the-lines in SpectionS during an armiStice.
 The communists argued that Soviet combat forces have not fought in Korea and that if Rus sia cannot be considered a neu- tral "there would be no neutral nation at all existing in the world"
 Soviet experts trained the North Korean army before the outbreak of war and the Reds are using Russian-type planes and other war materiel.
 Brig. Gen. William P. Nuchols, LIN. spokesman, said there is mo- thing to compel JUN. to say why 1t opposes Russia.
 The LIN. has nominated Switz- erland, Norway and Sweden as it's representatives on the inspec- tion commission. The Reds named Poland and Czechoslovakia in ad- dition to Russia.

Whites Vote China Couple Out Of Neighborhood

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-A Chi nese family, voted out of white neighborhood on the eve of broth erhood week, was swamped Mon day with offers of welcome from across the country.
 Sing Sheng, 25-year-old airline mechanic, said his telephone has n't stopped ringing since Satur- day, when white residents of South San Francisco's Southwood Tract voted TAPS they didn't want him as neighbor.
 Sheng had suggested the ballot ing, explaining 'I was sure every body believed in democracy"
 The Shengs could have insisted on their right to occupy the house. The US. Supreme Court has ruled tn a an agreement excluding home ownership because of race or creed Is not enforceable.
 Southwood residents said they objected because property values would decline if the former off cer in the Chinese Nationalist army moved in with his Ameri- can-born wife and two-year-old son.
 The Shengs, who are expecting another child next week, re- claimed the $2,95O they deposited on the $12,3OO home. They hoped to- get back deposits on $1,000 worth of furniture.
 There were calls from Wichita with a job thrown in; from Indianapolis, Sc tile and all around the San Francisco Bay area.

Dorothy Maynor Is First Negro Artist To Appear In OAR Constitution Hall

WASHINGTON, R Dorothy Maynor became the first Negro ever to appear commercially at Constitution Hall Sunday when she sang as guest soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra.
 Thirteen years ago the hall, owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution, barred con- tralto Marian Anderson. A storm of protest followed and she sang from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
 Paul Hume, music critic for the Washington Post, said it was a dramatic concert. He praised Miss Maynor's artistry, and added:
 Tt was no ordinary afternoon of singing. Nor did it's drama lack the awareness of the historic mo- ment when the principal concert hall in our nations capital opened it's doors to one of the greatest singers America has brought forth"

24th Infantry Div. First In Battle, Sent To Japan

SEOUL, Korea, P)-The gal lant 24th Infantry Division, first to fight and first to lose a man in the Korean war, has been taken out of combat and sent to Japan.
 Maj. Gen. William F. Dean now a Red prisoner-led the div ision into the war in early July, 1850. It was withdrawn from the central front almost 20 months later.
 In that time "the old profession als" had earned a Distinguished Unit citation, six Medals of Honor and hundreds of other decora- tions.
 Now on Japan's Honshu Island, the 24th together with the battle seasoned US. First Cavalry Divi- sion, is charged with the defense of Japan.
 Elements of the 24th were flown to Korea on the last day of June, 1850 and made the first contact with the North Korean Reds early in July. Pfc. Kenneth Shadrick of Wyoming, w. Va, was the first American killed in the war.
 When the 24th ended its Korean fighting, only two remained of those first handfuls of green sol- diers who met the onrushing Reds in the dark days of July, 1850. The others were dead, wounded or home on rotation.

Britain To Test Atomic Weapon In Australia
By Ernest Agnew

LONDON, (P) - Britain an- nounced today she will test a new atomic weapon this year. The probable date and place are late September or early October on the bleak Woomera rocket range in Australia.
 Preparations for the test in clude the removal of aboriginal tribes from the area.
 British experts believe their weapon is better than any pro- duced to date by the United States, but perhaps not as power ful.
 The official announcement did not say whether the new weapon is bomb. There was speculation that it might be a bomb, she'll head or some other device whose explosions could be controlled and thus used in support of ground troops. But Chapman Pincher, well-informed science reporter for the London Daily Express, said "the weapon will almost certainly be a high powerd atomic bomb designed for use by aircraft"

Debate on Alaska Statehood Bill
 Resumed Today

WASHINGTON, R) - Debate on Alaska statehood is scheduled to resume today with opponents yet to show their hand.
 Technically, the statehood issue has been the Senate's unfinished business" for more than two weeks but only a few senators have touched on the subject at any length.
 Senator Stennis D-Miss) is ex- pected to lead off for those against admitting Alaska to the Union. However, it is uncertain when he will seek the floor. Also unsettled is the timing of an expected eff fort to send the bill back to com mittee-a threat which statehood advocates frankly fear will be successful.
 Major speeches in support of statehood thus far have been made by Senators O'Mahoney D-WyO, chairman of the Interior and Insular Affairs committee; Magnuson O-Wash, Anderson D-NM and Lehman O-NY.
 All have contended that Alaska and HaWaii-not only are ready for statehood, but that their ad- mission into the Union would strengthen the United States po- sition against communism in the Asian world.

Conference In Lisbon
 May Affect COP Choice Of Presidential Nominee
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

What results from conference beginning this week in Lisbon, Portugal, might affect the out come of the Republican presiden- tial nomination convention in Chicago next July.
 In Lisbon, representatives of the North Atlantic Treaty Organ ization nations will try to work out a plan for unifying Western European defenses.
 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, head of NATO forces, has said he will accept the COP nomination for President but will not quit his post to seek it. Prevailing opinion, even among some of his most ar dent packers, is that Eisenhower can't win unless he comes home and airs his views on major issues.
 If the Lisbon conference shows signs of progress toward unifica- ton of Western Europe, then Eli senhower could relinquish his NATO command. If not, he would have to stay or critics might say he was leaving his job undone.
