Forreslal Tried
To Delay Arrests,
Diary Discloses
Washington, June 10 (U.R)
The justice department opened a
page of the late James For
restal's secret diary today to re
veal that he tried to delay the
arrest of six suspects in the 1945
Amerasia document theft case.
The department disclosed that
it has a copy of an entry For
restal made in the diary on May
28, 1945. The then secretary of
the navy had written that he in
tervened in the Amerasia case
because he feared the arrests and
the attendant publicity might
jeopardize the San Francisco
conference at which the United
Nations was being formed.
Would Embarrass Truman
Forrestal explained that he
also was afraid the result would
be "to greatly embarrass" Presi
dent Truman in his dealings
with Soviet Premier Stalin at
that time.
President Truman himself
ordered the six suspects arrested
after Forrestal had Intervened.
But three of them never were
indicted, two got off with fines,
and the indictment against the
Sixth, was quashed.
Based On Document!
The arrests were based on the
seizure of hundreds of confiden
tial and secret government docu
ments in the offices of the maga
zine Amerasia, edited by Philip
Jaffe, who Rot off with a fine,
was described in Forrestal's
diary as having had "intimate
relationships with the Russian
consul in New York." t
The justice department said
It received the copy of the For
restal notes from New York
Attorney Matthew F. Correa, a
wartime army major who was
special assistant to Forrestal at
the time of the Amerasia inci
dent. Low Flying Plane

Mail Deliveries
Curtailment Set
The Medford postoffice will
curtail its deliveries to one a
day in residential sections start
ing Monday, under recent "econ
omy" orders of the postmaster
general, it was announced Sat
urday by Postmaster Moore Ham
ilton.
Under the new delivery plan,
residences which have been re
ceiving two foot-carrier deliv
eries each day will now receive
only one, Hamilton explained. In
the congested downtown busi
ness district, two deliveries will
be made as in the past, but a
few businesses in outlying areas
will lose the extra delivery.
May Be Later
Due to the changes some resi
dents getting deliveries in the
morning will now get them dur
ing the afternoon, Hamilton said,
although it is planned to make
no deliveries later than 4 p. m.
Special delivery service is unaf
fected, as are postoffice hours
and postoffice box sortings. City
mounted (automobile) routes will
continue on one-a-day schedules.
The service reduction has
caused reduction of the postof
fice staff by two temporary sub
stitute carriers, but has not af
fected regular employees, Ham
ilton said.

the extent of the injuries.
As the yacht with its happy
fishermen was returning' to
Long Beach late today, it sud
denly radioed for help, saying
its fan tail was awash and the
yacht was sinking. Later it mes
saged frantically that all were
abandoning the vessel about 13

Russian Leaders
Prepare (or War,
Tmman Declares
St. Louis. June 10 U.R)
President Truman charged to
day that Russian leaders are
"preparing for war," but ha
said their "ominous tactics" are
being offset "by the growing
strength of the free world."
In his most detailed indict
ment of Russian leadership, tha
president charged that Soviet
chieftains are leading Russia
down a road to armed aonflict
by steadily increasing her mili
tary might while the rest of tha
world ia cutting its armed
strength.
Russia Army Bigger
He said the Russian army ia
much bigger than would ba
needed merely for protection of
Soviet borders, and ha charged
Russian leaders with "fomenting
aggression and preparing for
war."
Mr. Truman spoka at tha
dedication of a national me
morial to Thomas Jefferson
on the banks of tha Mississippi.
President Truman left by air
for Washington at 4:27 p.m.

Earlier, at a special memorial
service for the dead of both
world wars, the president said
"We cannot afford another
world war, either economically
or in tha form of manpower."
Struggles Unnecessary . -
"You know," ha said, "tha
great empires and republics of
the past have usually exhausted
themselves by the slaughter of
their young men in the strug
gles that were entirely unnec
essary." In paying tribute to tha dead
of two wars, ha said "I hops
that wa will ba able to say
that wa do not intend to add
other young men to whom wa
will have to pay tribute.
But he said "In order that wa
may meet the situation with
which we are faced, wa must
have these wonderful young
men willing and able to de
fend the country at any cost."
But the president pledged
himself again to make every
effort to achieve peace "to sea
that they do not have to make
that supreme sacrifice."

celebration.
Overnight rain dampened the
Portland area but held off long
enough for yesterday's tradi
tional grand parade which at
tracted between 275.000 and
300.000 persons, biggest crowd
since pre-war days. A circui
days theme brought out a color
ful carnival of animal in flow
ers and real life.
