M. Molotov called for an allied control council of Japan in a Moscow address today and declared "there ought to be no secrecy about the subject of atomic energy.” In a broadcast address opening Russia’s observance of the 28th anniversary of the Soviet Revolu tion. Molotov asserted: "In the treatment of the defeat ed we should not let ourselves be guided by our feelings, but only by the necessity to prevent a new aggression. This applies tr all coun tries which bear the responsibility for securing peace. “We must then mention here the force of atomic energy which was experienced in the war with Japan. Nowadays there ought to be no secrecy about this subject.” This was the first time a high Soviet official had suggested that the United States and Great Brit ain share their practical know ledge of atomic energy as a means of warfare. TRADITIONAL ADDRESS Molotov apparently was desig nated to make the traditional an h nlversary address in place of Gen w eralissimo Stalin, who has Just re turned from vacation. The Soviet Monitor’s version of Molotov’s remarks concerning Ja pan was that the liberation of China was of the greatest Import ance to the world. "It Is thus clear that the Sov iet Union considers mo6t Important the negotiation of control of all the allies over Japan,” he said. "In this question no satisfactory results have yet emerged, but the Import ance of satisfactory results is clear to all.” Molotov told a cheering crowd that, with v-lctory In war, "now we can return to peacetime labor.” CHINESE AGAIN MAKE CHARGES Renew Reports Of Marine Clashes With Red Forc es In China CHUNGKING. Nov. 0—(/H—The Chinese communists today renewed In a considerably moderated tone their charges that American ma rines had clashed with the Yenan Bed forces in North China. The communist reports were flatly denied yesterday both in Washington, D. C., and here. Na tionalist Information Minister K. C. Wu charged the communists with building propaganda to cut off American aid to the Central Chinese government. MAYBE EXAGGERATED A Yenan spokesman today ad mitted that the Incidents he re ported ‘‘might have been provoked.” But he asserted, ‘‘our reports re ceived were based on facts and not fabricated.” ‘‘I don’t believe,” he continued, ‘‘the American attacks were part of a deliberate plan, but since the Americans are ‘in the middle’ of the general government and com munist troops it is quite possible the incidents were provoked.” The presence of the marines in the disputed North China area In • Itself ‘‘constitutes Intervention," the spokesman said. The marines were sent to North China to assist in the disarming of Japanese troops there. WHAT’S DOING TODAY 7:30 pm.—Revival service at First Baptist church. 7:30 pm.—CAP cadets meet at armory.

' * •' ' Italian Armistice Is Finally Made Public Terms Provided For No Final Disposition Of Italian Territory Or Property By Graham Hovey WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—(A5)—The Allies made public the much-discussed Italian armistice today, spiking some old rumors but failing to clear up entirely why the terms were MANSLAUGHTER TRIAL BEGINS Judge Gwyn Rules For Constitutional Immunity Of One Defendant Attempt bv the state to show that Miss Sara Wilson was driv ing one of the automobiles involv ed in a collision near Patterson Springs last January which re sulted in the death of Miss Kath leen Mauney was temporarily blocked in Superior court this morning when Judge Allen H. Gwyn, presiding ruled that she did not have to testify whether she was in the wreck. Miss Wilson and the driver of the other car, Horace Addington are on trial on charges of manslaughter. Judge Gwyn said that the de fendant as far as her own testi mony was concerned could invoke constitutional immunity to placing herself in jeopardy and refuse to say whether she was at the wreck. WITNESSES ABSENT . None of the occupants of the other car, Horace Addington, his father or brother saw Miss Wilson driving, according to evidence re vealed today. The only two witness es who might know whether she was driving, the man who was said to be riding with her, A. G. Burroughs, of Gastonia, and Sgt. W. L. Hatcher, of the state high way patrol, were not present. Miss Mauney at the time she was fatally injured was riding in the car driven by Horace Adding ton which was returning from a place near Grover to Shelby. This car met another automobile on a curve near Patterson Springs. They collided and the Addington car turned over fatally injuring Miss Mauney. Evidence was offered tending to show that the Adding ton car was struck on its own right side of the highway. COURT ADJOURNED Court adjourned shortly before noon In order for counsel to ad vise Miss Wilson of her rights. This was asked when she had in See MANSLAUGTER Page 2 Kepi secret ior monms. Released simultaneously In Wash ington, London and Rome, the ar mistice and related documents — totaling some 10,000 words—dis closed that: 1. Exhaustive unconditional sur render terms — Officially still In effect—were imposed on Italy. 2. In practice, however, the allies never invoked som»-pro visions and modified others substantially at frequent Intervals. 3. The terms provided for no fi nal dispositions of Italian terri tory or property. Thus, the old rumor that the armistice gave the British a vir tual stranglehold on Italian port cities for an extended postwar pe riod was proved groundless. So were many other reports which had been bandied about—not with out effect on the Italians—during the two years of allied silence a bout the terms. WHY SECRECY? Then why the secrecy? Govern ment officials explained it to re porters this way: The State department and Brit ish foreign office had discussed publication of the terms as early as December, 1943. At that time, allied military of ficials objected. They said the Germans and Mussolini’s Fascist government fn northern Italy could make good propaganda use of the armistice terms, especially among the pro-allied partisan fighters. The subject was hltought up sev eral times subsequently, but the original military viewpoint pre vailed virtually udtfl V-E day. Reminded by nemunen that al most half a year had elapsed since V-E day, the offtdnls, specifying they were not to bl identified fur ther, said the British and Ameri can government* felt after the Potsdam Big Three conference that a final peace treaty with Italy soon would be written. “NO GOOD PURPOSE” It was believed, these officials added, that “no good purpose” would be served by prior publica tion of the armistice terms. What bad purpose might haVe been serv ed by such publicatjlon was not specified. It finally was decided to pub lish them after the September See ITALIAN Page X JAPAN’S FOUR BIG FINANCIAL UNITS SMASHED "To Aid Economic Devel opment Along Demo cratic Lines" CARTELS PROHIBITED By Murlin Spencer TOKYO, Nov. 6.—(/P)— General MacArthur Today smashed Japan’s four great est financial and industrial families and gave notice of his intentions to break up all such combines to “aid Japa- j nese economic development ; along peaceful, democratic * lines.” j The Japanese government was ordered immediately to prepare to dissolve Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sum- ] itomo and Yasuda Zaibatsu and ! their holding companies and to eliminate their controls of Japa- j nese finances and industries. i MacArthur further told the gov- i emment to set up a holding com pany liquidation association to direct the dissolution under indi rect allied control and warned that all policies and personnel must have his approval. Along with the directive aimed at the great Zaibatsu Interests with their ramifications, which spread throughout the world be fore the war, the supreme allied commander said he intended to smash #ir such combines so as to permit ‘'wider distribution of in come and ownership of the means See JAPAN’S Page 2 Russia, U. S. Still Apart On Jap Control By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 —(tfV— Russian-American differences over how to run Japan threatened again today to hobble the work of the Far Eastern Advisory Commission which has the job of planning long range Japanese control policy. The Russians are said by Diplo matic officials to be insisting on the immediate creation of a four power control council at Tokyo, In which the American representa tive, presumably Gen. Douglas MacArthur, would have the de cisive voice. The four powers would be Russia, the United States, Britain and China. The United States is insisting, according to the same officials, on creating some sort of less direct control machinery within the Far Eastern Advisory Commission. This body now has lo members. With Russia it would have eleven. NOT RECDGNIZED Pending a settlement between the United States and the Soviet Union, Moscow has given no indi cation of sending a representative to the advisory commission. This means that so far as Russia is con cerned none of the commission’s work can be final. Morevover, since the United States wants to change the powers of the commission in order to han dle the control council problem, See RUSSIA Page 2 NATIONAL OVERTONES: How Land Lies 1 First Postwar E! By The Associated Press Politicians looked to today’s first postwar elections for possible clues on what portends in the 1946 con gressional races and even in the 1948 presidential contest. Most of the elections were mu nicipal, but some had national overtones. The situation In brief: New York — William O’Dwyer, backed by some members of the national administration, ran on the Democratic and American la bor tickets against two opponents. They are Judge Jonah Goldstein, Republican - Liberal - Fusion can didate endorsed by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey; and Newbold Morris, Republican Independent bearing a "no deal” label and supported by the retiring incumbent, Fiorello LaGuardia. - - Dutch Offer Partnership To Indonesians By Ralph Morton BATAVIA, Nov. 6.—(£>)— The government of the Neth erlands East Indies, trying to restore order in this land wracked by a struggle for in dependence, made public to day a plan for “rapid develop ment of Indonesia as a part ner in a kingdom which will be constructed to guarantee the self-respect of all mem ber-peoples.” H. J. Van Mook, acting gover ior general of the Indies, who re eased the program, disclosed that t had been presented more than i week ago to Indonesian nation alist leaders as a basis for settle nent of their demands. He ex pressed his hope for a speedy re ;um of order to Java so that a ound table conference might be lonvened to discuss all aspects of lis proposals. His statement was issued in an ttmosphere of growing tension, :mphasized by a new outbreak of street fighting in Batavia between Indonesian extremist and Dutch ;roops. Soekamo, self-styled presi dent of the “Indonesian repub ud, aaiu in siiuriucin inni the Dutch had no reasonable answer for the difficulties and “know they are unequal to the task of Imposing their domin ation on us.” “As long as the world sees no way out of the present impasse except by supporting the Dutch :laim to Indonesia, that long In donesia will be unable to contri bute its material wealth to the enrichment of the world,” Soe kamo said. IVILL ASSUME DEBTS The nationalist leader said his ‘republic,” when recognized, would assume all debts of the Dutch East Indies and hand over prop erty to rightful foreign owners, ex cept properties needed by the state. He asserted that his regime in tended to take a' place in the United Nations organization and adhere to the San Francisco char ter. He promised a general elec tion. Large credits and shipments pf manufactured goods would be sought from the United States, he added. Indonesian leaders were re ported to have urged Van Mook not to release the document, fearing that his proposal— which are far short of their demands—would only Increase the gulf between their people and the Dutch. In essence, Van Mook’s state ment was a reiteration of previous Dutch offers to grant the Indone sians self government and inde pendence within the limits of a Dutch commonwealth, but it was reinforced by assurances of racial equality and full partnership with the Netherlands. CARRYING ARMS “Room will be made for the de velopment of business of every size for all racial groups, and the participation of Indonesians, Indo Chinese and Indo-^rabs in big justness will be furthered,” the statement declared. He asserted, however, that in the interests of restoring order it wa snecessary that all arms “which have been passed over legally by the Japanese or which have been stolen must be restored to the al lies and the carrying of arms must be restricted to peoples legally en titled or licensed to do so.” In Today’s lections James A.

LEWIS DEMANDS BIGGER ROLE FOR HIS BMW Murray Accuses Lewis Of Determination To Get On Committee questioiTTeft OPEN WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.— (fP)—A hot exchange between mine union Leafier John L. Lewis and CIO President Phil ip Murray today threw the labor-management conference into dispute over Lewis’ de mand for a bigger role. Lewis came out of the scrap with a temporary victory by ob taining delay in conference action on creation of an important exe cutive committee pending settle ment of a controversy over union representation. A proposed agenda for the con ference called lor an eight-mem ber committee, with four places each for labor and management. Labor's votes were to be divided equally between the AFL and CIO. Lewis demanded places on the com mittee for his United Mine Work ers and for the Railroad Brother hoods. Murray, one-time ally of Lewis before the UMW leader . broke away from the CIO, protested any changes in the committee make up. Murray declared he had heard reports of a 'Veritable blitz” by Lewis to get on the conference executive committee. HURLS CHARGES Lewis jumped up and shouted that Murray’s words constituted "despicable and unique German terminology.” Gripping a conference table, Lewis roared that “Mr. Lewis doesn’t care a tinker’s male diction whether he is a member of any committee” personally. But the UMW chief made clear he wanted his mine workers represented. Murray retorted that Lewis, from past aquaintance, knew he never employed “Hitler-like tactics.” He added that he was prepared to sup port all recommendations of the conference rules committee and to give consideration to Lewis’ posi tion. | The frcaas developer over the ; rules committee’s recommendation i that the conference arrange for an eight member executive commit tee as proposed. Lewis succeeded in getting the conference to leave open this ques tion. AFL President William Green backed Lewis.

The four places for management on the committee would be divided equally between the National As sociation of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber of Com merce.
