TWO HERALD AND NEWS NIC SUSPENDS OPERATIONS OF DOII AGENCY (Continued from Pago One) termed it necessary, however, and added: "It is extraordinarily difficult for mo at times to exercise that degree of patience which is un questionably demanded if the long-time policies which have been decreed are to be success fully accomplished without repercussions which would be detrimental to the well-being of the world, but I am restraining myself to the best of my ability and I am generally satisfied with the progress being made. Impatience Natural The supreme commander ob served that, in view of the "atrocities committed by the enemy," impatience on the part of the allied peoples to have the surrender terms rapidly carried out was but a natural impulse. Fulfillment of that desire can be accomplished only through careful procedure, he asserted, but promised: "The surrender terms aren't soft and they won't be applied in kid glove fashion." Meanwhile, the Japanese gov ernment reported to eighth army headquarters that most of the former Nipponese leaders on the MacArthur's "wanted" list were in custody. - Tojo Improves Another former government official, Lt. Gen. Chikahiko Koizumi, welfare minister in the Japanese "Pearl Harbor cab inet" took his life by the tradi tional hara kiri method. - His former premier, Gen. Hideki Tojo, continued to improve in a U. S. army hospital from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Koizumi was on the list of more than 40 former war lead ers. Black Dragon society mem bers and brutal prison com manders and guards whom the Japanese undertook to round up. Supreme headquarters gave no reason for suspension of Domei, and the order came with out warning. In his statement regarding the occupation, MacArthur ex plained that the "paramount con sideration of witnarawing - ana evacuating former prisoners of war and internees, plus the ne cessity oi getting occupation troops into position without the precipitation 01 "calamity prompted the methods taken.

Archbishop Da- maskinos. The regent talked to Byrnes yesterday. A heavy working day was be- lore tne ministers ot the united States, Russia. Great Britain, France and China. A heavy vol ume of diplomatic communica tions flowed to and from them in their labors to conclude peace treaties. British Proposal British Foreign Minister Er nest Bevin has presented a pro posal lor an Italian peace treaty which is being studied by the other ; foreign secretaries, and the British and Americans are pressing for consideration of an allied treaty immediately. The Russians, who have agreed to consider tne Italian treaty first, now are reported arguing that the treaties with the former axis satellite states in the Balkans, Romania, Bul garia and Hungary, should be given just as prompt attention. The British and Americans were said to hold that they could not discuss the Balkan treaties so long as these nations are ruled by governments unrec ognized by London' and Wash ington. . PRICE SUSPENSION WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 fP) Secretary of Agriculture Ander son recommended today that cell ing prices at all levels on oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and lemons for fresh consump tion be suspended immediately.

In ' fact, the idea teems to prevail among Germans of this kind that it isn't SAFE to work too closely with the Americans, Our prestige is suf fering as a result. TON'T get the idea that our military government people arc corrupt or nazl-minded or more than ordinarily inefficient. They arc Just struggling in the almost complete vacuum that re sults from trying to deal with people whose language you can't speak. You can't imagine how complete that vacuum is, how baffling the walls by which you are surrounded become, unless you have wandered around in a foreign country in these times of utter civil chaos. We sadly need more people who speak fluent German and understand the German char acter. ANOTHER unfortunate thing happened. It was our by now famous non-fraternization order, which was issued with the best of motives but just didn't work. You can't stop Amer icans from fraternizing with ANY kind of people with whom they are thrown in contact. That is a part of our national char acter. We're just made that way. The Germans, who are prob ably the world's most easily regimented DeoDle. whose obedi ence to any kind of an order is little short of amazing, wnose instinctive abstinence from all that is "verboten". is practically fantastic, saw our non-fraterniza tion order being - disobeyed on the Q-T and jumped to the con clusion mat tnese Americans aren't so hot after all that they can t even enforce tneir uw orders against their OWN people. The result was a uj&s ut RESPECT for us. There seems to be no doubt of that. . . WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 WP) President Truman went over the whole field of postwar navy pol icies today in a conference with top executive and legislative chiefs. Participants said no decisions were reached. Secretary of the Navy Forres tal told newsmen the conference was concerned particularly with what inducements could be of fered the vast number of naval reserve officers to get them to join the regular navy. Chairmen Walsh (D-Mass.) and Carl Vinson (D-Ga.), of the senate and house naval committees, said this will require new legislation. The conferees, Forrestal add ed, also discussed personnel in general, new naval bases, appro priations and other navy mat ters. . . " Besides Forrestal and the leg islative leaders, the conferees in cluded Artemus L. Gates, under secretary of the navy, Vice Ad miral Louis I; Denfield, chief of navy personnel, and Budget Di rector Harold D. Smith. 'Kid Glove' Treatment To Japs Brings Yank Protest (Continued from Page One) a surrender order stating that the emperor had graciously de cided to end the war. Statements Mad Here are some statements culled from 10 days of inter viewing liberated prisoners of war and internees: "I'm still sorry we didn't in vade. An invasion would make them remember they were lick ed." "It s all very well to arrest high war criminals., but . what about those prison camp guards?" (MacArthur s headquarters has ordered the arrest of some camp guards: said it would eo after every one accused by liberees). "Let's call in that admiral who was going to kick them in the teeth. We can ease up on them later." Put me in charse of some Jap prisoners. I'd convince them tney were licked. They showed me how to teach that lesson!" "They eave 100 of us ennneh medicine for 20 and diluted it with water, at that. What are we going to give them?" , "In Formosa, they still think they've won." They starved us because thev said the Dutch fed sto.ies to Jap prisoners in 1942. Give me some Jap prisoners now. I d feed them stones." "We had a hell at a time rnn. vincing them the war was over." Their docile behavior means nothing. I hope we don't go sen timental."

There was no explosion that I know of out when l saw a bad accident was going to happen I started to move ... I am afraid two of our men were killed after I left." It is not immediately known how Capt. Barnett died. He was found lying on the roof of the neighboring building apparently overcome by smoke and over exertion. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors worked on him for nearly two hours be fore declaring him dead. -: Cards Burned James Inglis, a company em ployee, said hundreds of thou sands of Christmas cards ,were destroyed In the flames. ., Approximately 140 men' and women may be out of work as a result of the fire.

"Aerial reconnaissance fliers have just reported winds over 100 miles on hour extending more man au mnes on eacn side of the storm center." Carson said. He added that experts were now charting latest reports on the hurricane, sent in by army and navy "hurricane hunter" planes, to determine the prob able area where the storm will hit with peak ferocity. "If the storm comes straight in as it's heading now, it will probably strike in the Florida keys," he said) "but hurricanes are tricky things 'and it may, change at -any time."

Feeling Strong Whllo these developments In dicated a possible movement toward settlement of the strike, the differences between the CIO and AFL machinists assumed even more serious proportions. At 7 o clock this morning, ap proximately 300 men were on the CIO picket line at the Weyer haeuser mill. They had moved about 200 feet farther away from the mill gate. , Sheriff Lloyd Low and his deputy. Jack Francy, went to the picket line. Franey stayed there, and Sheriff Low returned to the line-up of AFL machinists who wcro waiting on the hill near Fairhavcn school before at tempting to go through. Trouoi r eared The sheriff told the machinists that in view of . the size ot his force, and the augmented picket line, they could not expect him to keep the road open for them. He said that the attitude of the picket line indicated it would not open voluntarily, and he said he feared serious trouble if the AFL attempted to move through, The machinists agreed they would not try it. Emmctt Baker, machinist sec retary, said afterwards that "we knew that rocks and wood had been hauled during the night and piled along the highway." There was a pile of wood slabs near the highway at the Sicket line, and a few large locks were piled up behind cars parked there. Two or three women were on hand with pieces of paper and a bucket of paste. Pickets said the plan was to paste the paper on the windshields of machinist cars if they sought to go through. When the machinists turned back, the picket line shrunk, but CIO men said that a strong picket line would be main tained until the situation is set tled. Baker Statement On the two previous days, machinists went through the line. Baker, the machinist secre tary, declared m a statement that he received anonymous threats of bodily violence in two telephone calls Thursday evening. Baker said thai machinists had been attempting to go to their work peacefully.
