He said he would ask ail 51

present senate republican leader,
would become majority leader
and chairman of the new com

commerce committee.
2. Senator Vandenberg (R

6 Wtimatum
Discounted by
U. S. Officials
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26-ffV
The state department said today
latest information indicated that
no official Soviet "ultimatum"
was involved in last week's en
forced departure of an American
naval vessel from the Russia -held
port of Dairen, Manchuria.
A despatch from William H.
Newton, Scripps-Howard writer
representing the combined world
press, reported the refusal of
Russian military authorities to
permit an American business man
and two correspondents to land
at Dairen from an American ves
sel which hurriedly left port two
hours after the expiration of its
authorized 48-hour stay. Newton
spoke of a verbal ultimatum by
Russian military officials.
'Garbled' Report Cleared
After obtaining clarification of
a "garbled" portion of a report
from Consul General H. Merell
Benninghoff at Dairen, a state
department spokesman expressed
belief that the Russian "ultima
turn" which sped the vessel's de
parture was not "in any sense a
fist shaking affair.
The spokesman, Lincoln White,
department press officer, told re
porters that Benninghoff had ad
vised that the Soviet official in
charge of the docks had granted
a two-hour extension of stay to
to the ship on his own authority.
Beeaaae Nervous
Then, becoming nervous, this
official told the ship's officer the
vessel must leave or he could not
be responsible for the conse
quences. White expK ined that
this apparently meant that he
simply didn't know what the re
action of his superiors might be.
The vessel, the LC-3 1090, went
to Dairen on a routine courier
mission carrying diplomatic mail
and supplies to the U. S. con
sulate there.
Today's explanation appeared
to close the Dairen incident so
far as the state department is
concerned.

U. S., French
Split on Saar
Issue Grows
BERLIN, Dec. i-iJ?)-A r French
American dispute over French
initiative in the rich Saarland
widened today, the Americans de
claring that the French already
regarded the Saar as a unit apart
from their German occupation
zone and demanding again an
explanation of reecnt actions
there.
Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clary, dep
uty U. S. military governor, asked
the French about a report that
the big Robert Bosch electrical
parts plant was removed from
southern Wuerttemberg into the
Saar.
Second Inqairy
This was the second time the
Americans had asked about the
plant. In a meeting of the Allied
oontrol authority's coordinating
committee, Maj. Gen. Robert
Noiret, Clay's opposite number,
replied that the French did not
feel obliged to report to the other
occupying powers on "removal of
a factory from one place to an
other within our zone."
The dispute political parties
here charged that this, in effect,
was a change of frontiers and an
"amputation of the Saar from the
German economy." German lead
ers said it was a step by the
French toward annexing a Ger
man territory rich in natural re
sources. Said Stripping Industries
The dispute over reports that
the French were stripping indus
tries in other parts of their zone
for the benefit of the Saar first
arose a month ago when the Am
ericans asked the French about
the Bosch plant which produces
magnetos, dynamos and electrical
equipment. When the French de
layed in replying, the matter was
brought up by the Americans
again in the coordinating committee.
Cigarette Currency Upsetting
Economy in Occupied Germany
By Richard Kasisehke
BERLIN, Dec. 26-(JP)-U. S. occupation authorities had under
study tonight a directive to prohibit the private importation of
cigarettes into Gennaay by American personnel as a means of
stamping out the "cigarette standard" on the black market and safe
guarding the German economy.
A recommendation made to Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, deputy
military governor, by a special
investigating board, would for
bid the importations, now run
ning at a rate of about $100,000
a month.
$12t Eer Carton
The committee reported that
the sale and barter by Americans
of cigarettes at inflated values
ranging up to 1200 marks ($120)
per carton of 200 was setting up
"a currency competitive to the
legal currency," discrediting the
legal currency, resulting in "mal
adjustment of ration goods and
legal processes," "taking valuable
out of the economy without re
placing them" and inducing "un
dignified" trading for personal
reasons on the part of soldiers.
A second recommendation of
the investigators, which already
has been accepted, as to eliminate
cigarettes as an item of exchange
in any barter center sponsored by
the army or military government.
Ban Effective Jan. 1
This ban goes into efTect Jan
uary 1 at the Berlin barter shop
where today the volume of cigar
ette trading was between 200 and
300 per cent above normal as tra
ders rushed to swap their cigar
ette stores for cameras, chinaware
and furs.
Similar barter shops are sanc
tioned in Frankfurt and Munich,
Quake Casualty
Total at 3,251
TOKYO, Friday, Dec. 21-iJPt-
A Japanese home ministry spokes
man said today a finel check of
Saturday's disastrous quake
would be made and might in
crease the current casualty total
of 3251 by at least 100.
The home ministry's last fig
ures were 1289 persons killed,
1800 injured and 162 missing. The
! U. S. army's last count reported
I 1108 killed and 2542 injured,
j Only two points remained iso
i lated, Katsuura on the south
j coast of Wakayama peninsula,
I and Hata, in southeastern Skiko
! ku.
but most of the personal cigarette
imports have been going to Ber
lin where the market has been
biggest.
The investigating committee es
timated that 90 percent of the cig
arettes traded by Americans at the
barter center eventually reached
the black market, where Germans
exchanged them for articles oth
erwise unobtainable.
