Chinese Government Plans
Return Of Shanghai
Power Plant
By WALTER RUNDLE
United Press Staff Correspondent
SHANGHAI, Sept. 16.—(U.PJ—Chi
nese government officials prepared
today to return the city power plant
—keystone of Shanghai public util
ities—to its American owners to
morrow in the first major test of
Chungking’s 1943 treaty guarantee
ing return of foreign property seiz
ed by the Japanese.
The city water plant will be re
turned to its British owners at the
same time, a government spokes
man said.
The development came as Adm.
Thomas C. Kinkaid, Seventh Fleet
commander, arrived on a mine
sweeper to examine progress made
in removing mines in the harbor
and other obstructions to evacua
tion of war prisoners, and as arm
ed Japanese still swaggered
through the streets.
Kinkaid left his flagship, the
Rocky Mount, earlier today and
boarded the minesweeper for the
journey. The Rocky Mount and
other vessels have been cruising
off Shanghai for three days, while
U. S. and Japanese minesweepers
worked to clear the approaches.
Foreign interests were watching
closly Chungking’s handling of the
utilities problem for indications as
to whether other property held by
the Japanese will be returned tb
foreign owners.
Chinpcn and n 1 i+Vl
ties began forcing Japanese to e
turn thousands of tons of coal to
the power plant, where only six
hays supplies are on hand now.
The Japanese have been selling
the coal throughout the city.
Meanwhile date for return of oth
er utilities has not been set. The
Telephone company, taken over in
the name of T. C. Tsao, director
general of the Shanghai Public
Utilities Commission, still is sub
Uct to negotiation as is the Shang
hai Gas Company.
U. S. Army officials, while ad
mitting that the disarmament and
segregation of enemy forces was
Proceeding slower than anticipated,
said today they were confident the
switch of control in Shanghai would
be completed within the next five
hays and without incident.
Despite these assurances, the for

Italy Ready To Fight
Territorial Demands
LONDON, Sept. 16.—CU.R)—Italy’s
Foreign Minister and a delegation
of experts were enroute to Lon
don tonight to battle in person
at the Council of Foreign Ministers
against Yugoslav and Austrian de
mands which they claim would
bring economic ruin to their war
ravaged country.
Acide De Gasperi left Ciampino
airport at Rome at about the same
time a Jugoslav .delegation headed
by Vice Permier Edward Kardeij
left Belgrade for London.
The two foreign ministers will
meet tomorrow in the ornate com
mittee room in Lancaster House
where the foreign ministers will
hold their sixth and largest meet
ing.
Kardeij is the most outspoken
Yugoslavian proponent of heavy
reparations and territorial con
cessions from Italy. If he wins
the fight for Istria, Italy will be
deprived of her entire production
of aluminum, more than 1,000,000
tons of coal produced annually,
the ports of Trieste and Fiume and
their shipyards, factories and fish
ing industries.
The Yugoslav delegation in
cludes Sava Kosanovitch, Minister
of Information; Drago Marusitch,
Minister for Posts and Telegraph,
and Dr. Uavle Gregorich, Minister
for Croatia .
The Austrian demands for South
Tyrol were presented through an
Austrian committee in London,
and although Austria is an enemy
country, Italy fears her proposals
because they were reported to
have the support of Russia.
Loss of South Tyrol would de
prive Italy of industrial power
feeding industries in Lombnrdy
and Venetia provinces. In 46 years
as master of the South Tyrol, Italy
has invested billions of Lira in
power plants that produce 500,
000 kilowatts, 14 per cent of Italy’s
total production of electric power.
The area also includes the bauxite
mines in the Bolzano and Mori

HALSEY GETS RIDE
ON HORSE BUT IT
WAS NOT HIROHITO’S
TOKYO, Sept. 16.—<A>)—Admiral
Halsey rode a horse in Tokyo to
day—but it wasn’t white and it
didn’t belong to Emperor Hirohito.
The Third Fleet boss once an
nounced it was his ambition to ride
Hirohito’s white horse down To
kyo’s main stem.
Well, peace came and so did
Halsey. But the Admiral veered
off course and said he’d never
been on a horse.
This was painful to the Reno,
Nev., chamber of commerce. It had
heard of his ambition and sent
along a silver-trimmed saddle.
Halsey’s old friend, Maj. Gen.
William Chase had also heard of the
yearning and so when the Admiral
visited the First Cavalry Division
commander today there was a
horse saddled and waiting.
It wasn’t white. It was gray. It
was a nag. Chase grinned. The
horse was non-committal. Halsey
was game.
He climbed aboard, settled him
self amidships, got the horse once
around the bivouac grounds, then
debarked with alacrity.
“Don’t leave me alone with ’bi
animal,” Halsey grinned. “I was
never so scared in my life.”

FOR BOMBER SHOT
TOKYO, Sept. 16.— W) Genera]
MacArthur lodged a strong protest
with the Russians who shot down

Headquarters gave this account:
The Superfort was flying over
Russian - controlled Korea when
Russian fighter planes intercepted
it and by signals attempted to
force it to land at a nearby air
field.
The big bomber headed toward
the sea and the fighters again
tried to force it to land. Then they
made a third pass, shooting out
an engine and the pilot ordered
the crew to bail out.
The report here said all mem
bers of the crew managed to es

MacArthur’s protest pointed out
that the Superfort was obviously
an American plane and had been
shot down after the'Japanese had
been ordered to cease fire and
keep all their planes grounded.
The protest was filed a few days
after the incident. The Russians
replied that the shooting was to be
regretted, that it was a mistake
but that Russian fliers knew some
Japanese planes still were in the
The Russians said their pilots
thought the Japanese might have
repaired a Superfort forced down

PARIS, Sept. 16.—(A*)—Former

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.,
Sept. 16.—(A3)—Hurricane winds
estimated at 90 miles an hour
swept Lake Okeechobee last night,
and the dikes held. There were no
deaths.
This report, so different from
that of 1928 when another hurri
cane pushed the water out of the
lake and drowned about 2,000 per
cons, came to Disaster Chairman
W. H. Hitt at West Palm Beach
today.
Dikes were thrown up around
Lake Okeechobee, huge fresh
water body in the central part of
South Florida, by Army Engi
neers after the disaster of 1938.
The Dikes were a major project
costing millions of dollars. Their
purpose is to hold lake waters
in when hurrican winds blow. Last
night they got their first test.
No one ventured atop the great
embankments in the darkness lit
by plicking flashes of hurricane
lightning as the storm roared
louder and louder until the 90
mile velocity was reached.
But today, with the winds gone
and the sun returning, the lake
was in the lake bed, not spread
over scome of the riches farmland
in the United States. The dikes
stood like ramparts, untouched
by the storm.
Residents will breathe easily
henceforth when the dread red
and black flags of the hurricane
warning go up in this region.
Cro?s were extensively dam
aged, but not even one personal
injury was reported.
In West Palm Beach and Palm
Beach proper, the wind struck
a maximum sustained velo
city of 75 miles an hour, with
guets that touched 82 miles at
11 p. m. There were no deaths
or injuries, but damage to trees
and shrubbery was considerable.

The Pearl Harbor investigating

Lucas, a committee member,

other person of national stature
who has no active connection with
politics.
“It is imperative that we find
a man for the chief of our investi

Illinois Senator declared. “We
want an impartial investigation,
without politics entering into it,
and the counsel must be a man

Senators Ferguson (R-Mich) and

that if the committee is to get
anywhere, it will have to have a
staff trained in investigation work.
“We Will be wasting time if we

Kelsey-Hayes Strike Continues;
Labor Troubles Will Face Truman
- ■ ■ — v >!■ _
President May Speed
Reorganization As
Solution
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-GF)—
President Truman may be forced
to accelerate his planned govern
ment reorganization to cope with
current and looming labor trou
bles.
With more than 200,000 workers
now idle because of disputes, and
other strikes which would throw
another 325,000 out of work threat
ened, the government is less pre
pared to meet a labor crisis than
at any time in the past decade in
the opinion of top officials.
Chief concern is over lack of any
place of the War Labor Board,
tribunal or machinery to take the
place of the War Labor Board
which the President has ordered
liquidated. It is taking no new cas
es unless both parties agree be
forehand to abide by its decisions.
The proposed Labor-Manage
ment Conference, from which some
substitute for the WLB may
emerge, will not be called before
Oct. 29 and perhaps not until Ncv.
5.
Chairman George W. Taylor of
the War Labor Board says there is
no justification for believing there
is a wave of unrest, however. He
blames “bottleneck” strikes for
most of the present idleness.
Secretary of Labor Lewis B.
Schwellenbach, old friend of the
president who was to have a free
hand in reorganizing strengthen
ing and consolidating government
labor services, is known to be
concerned over the lack of Auc
tioning machinery to help with
settlements. .
His department reorganization
timetable got caught in a political
storm which has been raging under
cover between agencies on Capitol
Hill and in democratic party coun
cils, over placing the U. S. Em
ployment Service and the unem
ployment Compensation Agency un
der Schwellenbach’s wing.
These and other controversial
factors have tied up the plan for
reorganizing other key postwar de
partments as well, such' as Com
merce and the Veterans Adminis
tration, it was learned.
Mr. Truman’s advisors, mindful
of the labor situation, are expect
ed to press for swift action to re
move the block when the president
returns this week from Missouri.

DUBLIN, Sept. 16.—(#)—John

The great Irish singer has been
living quietly in Booterstown, just
outside Dublin, under doctor’s
orders to give up singing.
“I guess my bellows are over
stretched from holding those long
ones,” he said in an interview
only two months ago. “While I
was on a concert tour for the
Eritish Red Cross my health broke
down and the doctor ordered me
to leave the concert stage and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—W—
President Truman returned to

His big C-54 airliner, in which
le flew to Missouri to visit
‘Mama” and the home folks over

light landing. He drove at once to
;he White House.
His last admonition from his mo

man was to “be good and be
*ame.”
He said before leaving Kansas
City that he would look into the
;roubled labor situation in Detroit
where the stoppage of production
at Ford Motor Company plants
has thousands of men out of work.
Mr. Truman is expected to dis
cuss rumored changes in the War
Department command at a news

Reports have been current that
Henry L. Stimson,. Secretary ol
War, is anxious to retire, and that
General George C. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff, may do likewise,
possibly to be succeeded by Gen

The President flew here from
Grandview, Mo., where he took
off at 2:40 p.m. EWT after saying
goodbye to his mother at the air
port. His wife and daughter, Mar
garet, who also saw him off will
return to Washington in about twc

Chief U. S. war crime prosecutor
Robert H. Jackson said today that
the United States expects to be

BUMP BASE RAZED
Only Two Deaths Reported
Throughout Florida;
Winds Subside
MIAMI, FI*., Sept. 16.—(M—A
hurricane that did approximately
$50,000,000 damage in South Flori
da stepped out to sea tonight with
the promise that it would regain
force and strike again on the South
Carolina coast near Charleston or
northward.
While passing over South Florida
Saturday night with a peak veloci
ty of 143 miles an hour, the terrific
winds battered down the hangars
of the Navy's Richmond blimp
base. Three great hangars, 366 air
planes and 25 patrol blimps were
destroyed in a wind-whipped con
flagration.
All day today the storm traveled
overland up the Florida peninsula
and at 9:30 emerged into the Atlan
tic again, the Weather Bureau re
ported.
Continued north - northwestward
movement was indicated which
would bring the center inland on
\he South Carolina coast tomorrow
before noon.
Hurricane warnings were hoisted
from Brunswick, Ga., to Cape Hat
teras. Storm warnings were order
ed lowered in Florida at midnight.
Severe damage to crops, hun
dreds of buildings and communica
tions lay in the wake of the storm*
rampage through South Florida. It
lost force during its trip over land
and North Florida escaped lightly.
The weather bureau at 9:30 p.m.
(EWT) issued this advisory:
“Hoist hurricane warnings 9:30
p.m. (EWT) from south of Hat
teras North Carolina to Brunswick,
Ga.; northeast storm warnings dis
played from Hatteras to the V?r
ginia Capes.
“The tropical storm Is entering
the Atlantic near St. Augustine,
Fla., latitude 30 north, longitude 81
west moving north-northwestwcid
with tendency of increasing for
ward movement which at present
is about 15 miles per hour.
- “It is attended by winds of about
50 to 60 miles per hour with occa
sional gusts to 70 miles per hour.
“Indications are for the storm
to again attain hurricane force
while moving over water. A north
northeast course is likely to con
tinue which would bring the center
inland on the South Carolina coast
from the Charleston area north
ward Monday forenoon.
“All precautions should be taken
immediately on the Georgia and
Carolina coasts against dangerous
destructive winds and abnormally
high tides.
“Winds will begin to diminish
over northeast Florida and warn
ings will be lowered at midnight.”
The loss at the blimp base alone
was between $30,000,000 and $40,
