to shipping troops und equip

side but will proceed simultane
ously. More than half the men to go
to tha Pacific will go via the
United States, the war depart
ment said. The proportion will
be substantially lower than this
among service units attached to
air and ground operations, and
higher among combat units. The
great bulk of combat units will
be staged through the United
Slates.
It is expected that all men to
be discharged can be brought
home from Europe within about
a year.
Equal attention Is being given
to repatriating veterans from the
Pacific, the war department said.
Every replacement Iot whom
shipping space can be found is
being sent to the Pacific so men
with long service can be sent
home.
Every physically fit soldier in
the United States who has not
yet served overseas will be as
signed to foreign duty when he

Blast Path for
Borneo Invaders
MANILA! May 5 (UP) Allied
bombers and warships blasted a
path today lor Australian troops
driving toward the heart of Tar-
aun city on Taraan island on
the? east coast of Borneo.
Japanese gun emplacements,
ammunition dumps and numer
ous buildings were destroyed by
the dual bombardment as tne
Australians swept through the
western part of the city.
The military barracks and the
important wuter supply installa
tions in western Tarakan were
captured by the Austra lian
troops, who were meeting des
perate Japanese opposition from
mortar and machine-gun fire.
Front reports said the Austra
lian drive on the island's air
field, northeast of the Lingkas
beachhead, was being hampered
by an extensive system of elec
trically - controlled land mines.
The troops, however, secured all
h'S ground around the edge of
the airfield.
The Mindanao campaign was
rapidly approBching a climax.
Troops of the 24th division were
rapidly cleaving JJavao ciiy
against resistance described as
the road junction of Kibawe, 36
miles ubove Kabakan.
Filipino guerrilla forces mean
time cleared the Japanese from
entile Surigao province at the
northeastern tip of Mindanao,
opening a number of good har
bors for allied shipping. The
province is just across Surigao
Istraigh1. from American - held
Lcyte island.
In northern Luzon, the 33rd
division completed mopping up
of the ' Baulo.' aVea and . seized
the villages of Anlamok and Ito
gon, six miles east of the city,
and Acops more than five miles
to the north.
'Capital Strike'
Blamed for Drop
In Tire Quality
WASHINGTON, May 5 (UP)
Members of the senate war in
vestigating committee charged to
day that a "strike of capital" pre
vented expansion in 1944 of the
production of carbon bluck, major
ingredient of synthetic tires.
Sen. Hugh Mitchell, D., Wash
said the strike occurred because
producers felt they could make
more profits frnm "furnace
black," one type of carbon black,
than they could from "channel
black."
Earl Babcock, director of the
Firestone Tire und Rubber com
pany chemical laboratories and
former assistant to Rubber Direc
tor Dewey Bradley, said Bradley
recommended in June 1944, that
production of carbon black be in
creased 100,000,000 pounds. The
production was nut achieved, he
said.
Babcock said sufficient carbon
black was being used In the
heaviest type of military tires to
give them full strength. In some
other types, he said, a deficiency
has caused a 10 per cent loss of
efficiency, while jeep tires have
suffered a 20 per cent loss.

load which will require increased
production," Boyd said.
He revealed he will attend an
international lumber commission
session in London the week after
next to evaluate the world tim
ber supply and needs. Ho said
the government has taken the
stand that all other sources of
supply must be exhausted before
American lumber will be sent to
oilier countries, except for direct
war use.
Pulp Outlook Brighter
Pulp and paper prospects are
brighter, Boyd said, because re
moval of mines In Baltic waters
in the next 90 days will permit
shipments of supplies from Swed
en and Finland.
Boyd said lumber going to Eng
land is mostly for war packag
ing, crating and war uses, with
about 25 per cent for British in
dustrial use. Not more than 10
or 15 per cent is used for hous
ing, und this for bomb damage
repair, he said. There is no in
tention to participate in post-war
housing in Britain and the pre
fabricated houses sent there are
under lease lend as un emergency
war worker need and contain
little lumber, he added.
He pointed out many forests
!n France and Gel many were so
filled with shrapnel as to be al
most useless for sawmill use.

have Indicated suspicion und dis
trust of Russia's post-war secur
ity objectives.
The big four powers made pub
lic the text of approximately 30
amendments to the Dumbarton
Oaks proposals on which they
are in total agreement, including
one which would grant special
recognition to the middle powers'
for seats on the security council.
"The amendments were made
public by Stcttinius, who also re
leased the text of two other
amendments regarding the power
of the assembly to recommend
adjustments of "any situations,
regardless of origin," and except
ing from the veto of the security
council measures taken under
regional iirrangeniijit against
enemy states.
The United States, Great Brit
ain and China have submitted
identical amendments on those
two problems and Soviet Russia
had agreed in principle to them
but asked for another day or so
before committng itself on the
present wording.
One of the most important
amendments involves the func
tions und powers of the General
assembly. The big four have
agreed to broaden the assem
bly's powers to include cultural
as .well as political, economic
and social fields and to assist
in the realization of human
rights and basic freedoms for all
without discrimination of any
sort.
All the big powers except Rus
sia have, agreed upon another
paragraph on assembly powers
which is a revision of the origin
al amen)nent em treaty revision
by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg,
' R Mich. As it stands now, the
'section would avoid the use of
i the woid treaty but would em
1 power the assembly to recom
mend measures for peaceful ad
justment of any situations likely
I to impair the general welfare.
