BANS ON GERMANS

■aid he believed the Russians had
concurred in this policy.
The restricted news media pol
icy was decided by the Allied mili
tary governments, Davis said,
with OWI concurring.
He explained that “Germany is
c sick man. He now can have only
what the doctors prescribe. Later
on, he will have a mere ample
diet.”
The policy is necessary, Davis
asserted, to maintain order now
and to bring the Germans back
to “sanity and order.”
The news the Germans get n^w
will be the beginning of their re
education, Davis said.
In an earlier interview a re
porter asked him why Allied of
ficials were “afraid of giving en
try to American newspapers.”
“I think the Germans would get
too much impression of divided
policies of Davis reply. “For 12
years their papers have expressed
one policy, and they are out of the
habit of understanding what a
free press means.”
However members of the arm
ies of occupation still may receive
publications from their own coun
tries to which they subscribe.
Davis disclosed in his news con
ference that the first booklet which
CiWI will distribute to the Germans
will describe and picture the hor
rors of German concentration
camps.
The booklet will be given a “test
distribution,” said Edward Bar
rett, OWI overseas director, to de
termine whether later it will be
distributed free of charge or sold
to the Germans.
• Davis explained that while radio
programs within Germany will be
under military government con
trol, and most of the broadcasts
within reach of ordinary radio
sets would be from Allied nations
there would be no attempt to pre
vent Germans from listening to
radio programs of nearby neu
trais, such as tne &wiss.
: Davis asserted that the admin
istration of this restricted news
policy within the U. S.-occupied
zone, which will employ about 250
0WI staffers, does not provide for
indefinite continuation of OWI.
Although OWI plans to ask Con
gress to appropriate “several mil
lion dollars” to handle this opera
tion in Germany, Davis reiterated
that the agency will be dissolved
at the conclusion of the war with
Japan and, if necessary, another
group would have to be created
to continue to handle the editorial
control in Germany.

REGRET OF iSCOOPj
PHILADELPHIA, May 10.—(U.R)
►-Robert McLean, president of the
Associated Press, said today that
the AP “profoundly regrets” the
distribution Monday of Edward
Kennedy’s unauthorized story of
total surrender of Germany.
The text of the statement issued
by McLean:
“Associated Press profoundly
regrets the distribution Monday of
the report of the total surrender
in Europe, which investigation
now clearly discloses was distri
buted in advance of authorization
by Supreme Allied headquarters.
"The whole, long honorable re
cord of the Associated Press is
-based on its high sense of respon
sibility as to the inegrity and au
thenticity of the new and the
observance of obligations volun
tarily assumed as appropriately
reaffirmed by executive Director
(Kent) Cooper in his statement of
yesterday.”

VETO POWERS SET
BY FOUR NATIONS
(Continued from Page One)
der this section possesses the pow
er actually to recommend the
terms of settlement for any par
ticular dispute.
"Further since under the Yalta
voting formula, parties to a dis
pute canrtot vote under this sec
tion, it follows that a great power
oartv to a dispute will not be able
to block any such recommenda
tions being made.
"It is, of course, true that this
change does not alter the position
that a great power which is not a
party to a dispute, may, if it so de
sires, prevent the Security Council
from taking any action under this
section including the making of
recommendations. But this point
does not affect the advance which
has been made in regard to the
real increase in power which has
now been given to the Security
Council.”
From American quarters it was
learned that the new amendment
makes it possible for the security
council to take jurisdiction over a
dispute even if it doesn’t directly
threaten world peace but merely
if, in the opinion of the council, it
is likely to develop such a threat.
The big power veto, it was under
stood, does not apply to any settle
ment of a dispute by peaceful
means.
In cases where one of the five
which hold veto powers in the Se
curity Council is involved in the
dispute, it must refrain from voting
on the matter. However, the other
four of the five must then be unan
imous in their recommendation.
The amendment, it was under
stood applies to recommendations
for action short of actual war.
In the American view, it was
understood, the Security Council
can investigate and recommend ac
tion in all matters likely to develop
threats to world peace. The Coun
cil, it was said, will be in a po
sition to reach out into a small dis
pute with the view of setting it
before it can develop as a world
threat, even to the point of classi
fying a domestic problem as one
likely to become international in
scope.
In the American view had a Se
curity Council with such powers
existed in the thirties, it would
have been able to reach into the
disputes which marked the rise of
Nazi power and smother them be
fore a single Nazi trooper had
crossed the border of the Reich.
Eden said he regarded amend
ment of the greatest importance
and said that the Big Four were
united in their interpretation of the
effect of the new proposal.

CHINESE REPELL
NEW JAP ADVANCE
(Continued from Page One)
great American-Chinese cordinated
effort.
The Chinese ground forces first
held a Japanese outflanking thrust
at Sinning and Wukang, southwest
of the American air base, and then
smashed the whole enemy attack.
It was too early to assess the full
part played by the new Chinese
airborne units but the lightning
success of the counterstroke spoke
for itself.
More than 2,BOO Japanese dead
were reported counted in the area
55 miles east of Chihkiang, from
which the 14th Air Force has been
playing havoc with Japanese com
munications along the China-Indo
China corridor.
A Japanese force surrounded at
a point 70 miles east of Chihkiang
was wiped out by the Chinese and
120 enemy prisoners taken — an
unusual number.
Chinese troops pursuing the rout
ed enemy reached the vicinity of
Shanmen, 75 miles east of the air
base and north of the main high
way.
There was severe fighting along
the Chihkiang-Paoching highway
as Japanese attempts to rush for
ward on the direct approaches to
the airbase were repulsed. One
reached within 10 miles northwest
counterattacking Chinese force
of Poaching and then attempted to
slash southward to cut the Japa
nese retreat along the highway.
Pointing to the success of war
cooperation in the, battle for Chih
kiang, as well as the containment
of the enemy on the Honan front
after the fall of Laohokow, Chen
nault said the air force was in
better position now to collaborate
with the better spirited and bet
ter supplied Chinese troops.

Reconversion Timetable
Outlined By Government
WASHINGTON, May 10.— UP) —
J. A. Krug today outlined his pro
gram for “orderly” removal of
industrial controls and asked
manufacturers not to “jump the
gun” on the reconversion time
table.
The War Production Board
Chairman announced that 73 orjcrs
prohibiting or limiting the manu
facture of civilian products have
been revoked, as of today. About
half the 420 orders on WPB’s
books will have been removed
“within the next few months,” he
said.
Those already dropped include
most of the curbs on “hard goods”
Except for those using large quan
tities of metal, such as automo
biles, furniture, refrigerators and
stoves.
Krug set July 1 as the date on
which business will be given unre
stricted access to such steel,
copper and aluminum as is not
taken up by priority orders for war
and war-supporting activities.
Until that is done, the revocation
of individual controls means little
in terms of building up civilian
supplies, for WPB’s machinery
for the allocation of metals will
continue to channel them to war
and essential uses only.
Ordinary manufacturers resum
ing or increasing civilian goods
output will have to depend on idle, |
Surplus or second-hand materials
until this machinery—the familiar
"controlled materials plan” is op
ened up to let them receive the
ers may be placed at once, Krug
said, to become valid on the books
three basic metals.
However, such non-priority ord
of steel, aluminum and copper
mills when the July 1 relaxation
occurs. Thereafter mills will make
deliveries, subject to the rule that
. *
they do not interfere with WPB
authorized orders.
Krug warned that industry “is
expected to continue compliance
with all WPB orders and regula
tions as long as they remaii) in
effect.”
“Industry has cooperated mag
nificently,” he said. “I have com
plete confidence that industry
will continue this cooperation and
will not try to jump the gun on re
conversion.”
SOVIETS FIGHT
RENEGADE ARMY
(Continued from Page <\fte)
summer the Germans on the is
lands held out and the Allied com
mand never deemed them worth
the cost of seizing them in the face
of big coastal guns.
The German commander, Maj.
Gen. Heine, signed unconditional
surrender terms aboard the Brit
ish destroyer Bulldog yesterday
and British troops landed today,
meeting no difficulty with garri
sons totaling possibly 30,000 Ger
mans.
At least three U-boats had put in
to British harbors and surrendered,
one at Weymouth and two at Locn
Eriboll, a remote inlet on the north
coast of Scotland. Wireless stations
and reconnaissance planes reported
that 15 to 20 more submarines were
en route.
The U-boats had been ordered to
surface 50 miles out, display a sur
render flag and steam in above
water. The first submarine sight
ed, which later put in at-Weymouth,
actually was an American prize
since it had surrendered to a Lib
erator bomber.
TAX CUT GIVEN
HOUSE MEMBERS
(Continued from Page OAe)
nents charged that it would in
flame public opinion and provoke
attacks on the Little Steel wage
ceiling formula. They were mind
ful of the “bundles for congress”
controversy of a few years back
when the legislators debated a
bill to give themselves a pension.
Rep. Robert F. Rich, R., Pa^,
said ‘the house ought to have bet
ter sense.”
Rep. i Emanuel Celler, D., N. Y.,
disagreed. “Are we mice or are
we men?” He demanded. “Why
should we be so miserly to our
selves?”
Other members charged that the
expense fund was simply a ruse to
get an unwarranted salary increase.
They said it would injure the
Government’s hold-the-wage-line
program.
Some house members originally
proposed that members’ salaries
be raised by from $2,500 to $5,000
but the expense proposal was sub
stituted after unfavorable reaction.
The allowance was termed a sub
terfuge by Rep. Alfred L. Bul
winkle, D., N. C. He said the na
tion faces a $300,000,000,000 post
war debt, a $20,000,000,000 post
war budget, widespread demands
for lower taxes and the necessity
of holding the line. He added that
congressmen should hold the lint
for themseleves as well as for the
rest of the nation.

Mahoney, Lt. Lawson Clements
and Lt. Thomas Underwood. At
last report, they were held at Sta
lag Luft One.
After the initial break, the fliers
dispatched scouts in every direc
tion and fully armed ^skirmish and
picket lines were established.
Under the command of Colonel
Hubert Zemke, a fighter ace from
Missoula, Mont., they organized
an expeditionary force to seize the
entire area.
Little opposition was encountered
by the airmen, who, operating on
the ground for the first time, dis
armed the Germans they encount
ered and quickly captured 50 ve
hicles, thousands of weapons and
3,000 gallons of fuel. Five neighbor
ing prisoner of war camps also
were liberated by the rampaging
Yanks and an airfield with 14
planes was taken.
At the time of the report from
the front, the Americans are in
control of 175 square miles of ter
ritory and are ready to hand it
over to the Russians—then pre
pare for a trip home. The Ameri
cans in Stalag Luft One have done
their part, the Red Cross reports.
Liberated People Of Channel
Islands Greet British Forcp
LONDON, May 10—OP)—Cheer
ing, laughing, crying people greet
ed the British force which lib
erated the Channel islands today
—islands where “there isn’t a
single dog or cat” because they
have been eaten.
Douglas Willis, repressenting the
combined press and radio, told of
the landing at Port St. Peter on
the Isle of Guernsey:
“People standing.speechless with
tears running down their cheeks,
surrounding our little force, tear
ing at our clothes, embracing us,
pumping our hands. They couldn’t
say much: ‘We’ve waited so long
for this. We’re glad you’ve come.’
“The Germans have smashed
the once prosperous economy of
the island They have debased the
currency so that German soldiers
were offering 200 marks for an
English pound note. The real rate
is 9 1-2 until yesterday a single
cigarette cost ten marks.
“Until the Red Cross began to
land supplies—one parcel per head
per month—a quarter of the popu
lation was starving. Many of them
are little short of that now. Often
there was no bread. There were
no potatoes.
"But here in the Channel is
lands, unlike devastated France
and war ravaged Italy or Greece,
we have 'firm foundations to build
on. Docks are undamaged, bridges
and communications are intact and
the people will work. Ships are
standing ready in British ports
A
to carry cargoes of food ,na,
oil and clothing across the f
row sea.” *'ar'
Charles Bernard, another corr.
pondent for the combined '
and radio, said 24 gnr.nmg Brit
ish soldiers were the first
