RELAX NEWS GAG
ON YALTA TERMS
San Francisco, May 26 0J.R)
The American delegation to the
world security conference re
laxed its news gag rule tonight
and said that it was in complete
agreement on interpreing the
Yalta voting formula and that
early agreement among the rest
of the Big Five was expected.
A meeting of the Big Five was
called tonight to consider the
draft of a shipment interpreting
the voting formula. Approval is
expected, but announcement of
action will be withheld until
Monday.
The earlier "gag" on the
American delegation resulted
from controversy within the del
egation over the language of the
interpretative statement and
earlier "leaks" about the lack of
progress. The Americans were
told not to talk to anyone about
what was transpiring in the del
egation meeting. But the ban
lasted only a few hours.
A delegation of newspaper
men protested to a state depart
ment public relations man who
said the gag not be imposed gen
erally but only on this important
issue the .voting formula. The
correspondents then emphasized
that because of. its importance,
the voting procedure discussions
should riot be kept secret.
The gag was lifted on this
point during a 00 minute meet
ing of the American delegation.

Raid "Very Successful" Is
Word Japs Use "Suicide
Planes" On B-29's.
Guam, May 27 (Sunday)
(UP.) While Tokyo radio com
plained bitterly about the effec
tiveness of American firebomb
raids, a lone B-29 slipped down
through the overcast shrouding
the Japanese capital and saw
"very large masses" of fire
more than nine hours after Sat
urday's attack.
Preliminary mission reports
indicated that the incendiaries
gave the enemy one of the
worst days in the long war.
First Lt. L. W. Abbott, Des
Moines, la., pilot of a photo
graphic Supcrfort, prowled over
Tokyo at a high altitude with
out seeing the target. Then he
decided to go down and get a
look.
Abbott broke through clouds
into rain and finally saw the
sprawling enemy capital at 8,000
feet.
"There were very large masses
of fires all over the place," said
Abbott. "I could even see
flames, but I couldn't identify
the buildings.
Abbott flew over the burning
area about 9 a .m. Saturday and
stayed down only about two
minutes, during which time
Japanese anti-aircraft .fire, be
gan peppering his plane..' He
pulled out when flak hit his
No. 3 engine Nacelle and another
piece put an eight-inch hole
through the tail.
Other pilots, meanwhile
claimed they shot down 20 Jap
interceptors about half of them
Baka planes. The presence of
10 or more Bakas indicated the
Jap hope of solving B-29 tactics
with suicide planes.
. However, the 21st Bomber
command headquarters said all
19 Superforts lost over Tokyo
went down from anti-aircraft
fire, rather than from inter
ceptor opposition.
Headquarters also said prelim
inary mission reports based on
photographs indicate that It was
"a very successful" raid from
the standpoint of bomblna ac
curacy. They said intense fires
sprang up almost immediately,

CYNICISM ABOUT
San Francisco, May 26 (U.R)
The State department sought to
night to answer growing cyni
cism about United States-Russian
relations, and fears that
those two great powers are
headed for inevitable conflict.
'The basis of the fear is only
fear Itself," Assistant Secretary
of State Archibald MacLeish
said In a radio broadcast. "The
basis of the suspicion is nothing
more substantial than suspicion.
Russian circles received news
of the MacLeish broadcast with
evident satisfaction, emphasizing
the same line that the assistant
secretary had highlighted that
there was no basis for any con
flict between the two countries,
and would not be.
