Central Phone 3-5379 United Nations, N.Y. (U.R) The President of the United Na tions Security Council acts to day on an Israeli request for an 'urgent meeting" to take up new charges against Egypt. Arkady A. Sobolev, Soviet delegate and council president for April, was expected to call the session for Wednesday. Otherwise the Jewish Passover beginning Thursday night and Friday will probably prevent the meeting from being held until next week. Israeli Ambassador Abba S. Eban asked for the session to consider his government's charge of "continued and a purposeful Egyptian aggression." One of the alleged incidents occurred as recently as last Sunday. El Centro, Calif. 4U.R) Dom inic Grasso complained to police that his neighbor's rooster crow ed before dawn and woke his whole family up. An officer in vestigated and reported: "Roos Dead line for Sunday Classified Is at noon Saturday. e IT COSTS NO MORE TO SHOP THAT BRINGS YOU THE BEST OF EVERYTHING Tuesday, April 5, 19SS Official Papers Probably Won't Settle Argument Washington (U.R) The con troversy over what Gen. Doug las MacArthur thought about Russian help against Japan dur ing World War II widened to day. It probably won't be settled by the now-planned publication cf official documents bearing on MacArthur's views about Rus sian intervention in the war 10 years ago. Defense Department security officers are reviewing the stack of papers now and may have them ready for publication in the next few days. The controversy was fanned Monday when an Army histor ian asserted flatly that Mac Arthur at the time of the Febru ary, 1945, Yalta conference was "thoroughly in favor" of Soviet entry into the war against Japan. Favored Concessions Louis Morton, chief of the Pacific Section of the Army's Office of Military History, wrote in "The Reporter" magazine that MacArthur was "perfectly will ing" to work concessions to gain Russian participation. The historian's claims were at odds with MacArthur's asser tions that if anyone had asked him at the time of Yalta he would have opposed Russian en try "at that Jate date." MacArthur said Sunday night that President Roosevelt and ether heads of state got their military information at Yalta from their chiefs of staff who "acted solely upon their own re sponsibility." He said his views were never asked and he learned of concessions to Russia months later. Morton contended the desire of the American chiefs of staff for Russian help was "supported by the theater commanders." He said MacArthur "stated emphat ically at the time of Yalta to more than one visitor that Amer ican forces should not Invade Japan until three months after the Red Army had attacked in Manchuria" where Japan had a huge army. Otherwise, Morton wrote, the Japanese could move large num bers of troops from the continent to their home islands and take a high toll in American casual ties in the then-expected Inva sion of Japan. The view that Soviet forces should pin down Japan's Kwan tung Army on the Asiatic main land has been attributed to MacArthur in several books. Robert E. Sherwood said in "Roosevelt and Hopkins," pub lished in 1948. that at Yalta Mr. Roosevelt's prime concern in all Far Eastern discussions was American war plans against Japan. He said, "MacArthur's calculations were based on the assumption that the Russians would contain the great bulk of Japanese forces on the Asiatic mainland" during the invasion of Japan. Sherwood had visited Mac Arthur shortly after the Yalta conference. In his Sunday statement Mac Arthur said a distinction had to be made between pre-Yalta and post-Yalta events. What happen ed -after Yalta implemented de cisions made at the conference. He said there should be no "par tial and selective" but full re lease of official documents.
