Houeer, second Tic president of the Food Administration Crain corporation, has addressed the following to millers: - Referring to bulletin issued 'by our New Tork office, under date of April 2, changing the speci fications to resd: "One hundred and forty pound bags, made from 10 H ounce extra quality, double calen dered jute, cut not smaller than 40x49. and preferably 40x50." Please be advised that if bags of th above material are unobtainable, flour will be accepted in 1 0 H ounce common jute sacks as a last re sort; also that the price of flour shipped in com mon jute saeka will be 5e under the price of flour shipped in 10 H ounce extra quality, doa ble calendered jute sacks. - The reason for requiring the stronger packing b due to oar shipments now going to port with out adequate handling facilities and then being forwarded into -th interior of Poland, Ron mania, Csecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia, so th shipments are subject to very sever handling.

(Delayed) (TJ. P-.) Numerous reports from reliable and Im partial sources Indicate the Japanese people have beerf kept Ignorant of the brutality of the Japanese military party in Korea. Reports are ' current - that gendarme, unprovoked, have shot into crowds, kill ing; and wounding women, and children. The wounded have not been given treatment, these reports state, except in the police court prison, where the treat ment is of the crudest type. The hos pitals are unable to accommodate the many wounded. A rigid censorship of news from Korea, has been established. Everyone leaving: Korea ia searched, and foreigners arriv ing fear to tell what they know. One prominent foreigner, following m personal investigation, declares tne Jap anese are making a serious error in sup pressing the news. Martial: law has practically been established, he says. with new orders being issued dally. The Korean National association in San Francisco on April 12 published a cable from Korea which declared mora than 100 unarmed people . had been killed in Seoul during a three-hour demonstration. Several thousand per sons had been killed by; the Japanese since March 27, the cable stated. Naked women, it said, had been beaten before crowds. - The above Tokio cable indicates that this situation has been kept from the knowledge of the Japanese people.
