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

British Proposal
British Foreign Minister Er

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

The British and Americans
were said to hold that they

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

Here are some statements
culled from 10 days of inter
viewing liberated prisoners of

"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."

IN FACE OF CIO LINE
(Continued from Page One)
to confer at Its plant Saturday
morning.
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. Ho said
that there was proper police pro
tection on Wednesday, when the
machinists went through, but
in evidence" on Thursday and
that the AFL men narrowly es
caped violence.
l want everyone to Know mat
it was our union and not com-
fiany officials that "requested po
ice protection," he said,
Baker said further:
"This morning, we knew that
