Property which formerly be longed to citizens of neutral or United Nations countries was included, this informant said. The Soviet definition made exceptions for cases in which it could be proved by docu mentary evidence that the Ger man had acquired property or assets by violence or without paying a reasonable price, it was added. The text of the new Soviet definition was reported sent as a letter from Russian Deputy Commander Tsinicv to Austrian Chancellor Leopold Figl early this week. Austria, which Is known to regard all but the first point (A) under tlie seven point Russian definition as un acceptable, is expected to reply to the note next weekend.

Iraie Housewives Lament Curbs On By LOIS STEWART , Irate housewives were buzz ing like hornets around thenars of helpless grocery store clerks and .managers as the canning season reached a peak and re strictions on sugar buying made it impbssiblc for cooks to store up the usual ample supply of jams, jellies and canned fruits for winter use. Grocers patiently explained they had nothing to do with the sugar shortage and traced the history of sugar rationing which did not go out with OPA inasmuch as it comes under the second war power act and falls directly under the department of agriculture. But. to the credit of the store keepers, nn effort is being made to have the sugar allotments in creased to 10 pounds per per son as the nation faces the heavi est peach, pear and apple crop In years. The National Grocers assncintion has made formal ap peal to President Truman to give housewives more sugar and. in this method, to nid the fruit growers who fenr thnt much of the sugar in the kitchen bins will-be used before the harvest. Some of the new 1940 jam and jelly pack was appearing on shelves this week at what many a housewife considered too steep for her budget. For example, one pint of jam brought 52 cents.

Canning Sugar pointed out, she took $1.24 worth of apricots, added a precious 18-cent can of pine apple, a few pounds of sugar and turned out close to 15 pints of jam for a little over 10 cents a pint. More of this canning, and consumption of a great deal more iruit, could be accom plished if the boys who hang on to the sugar sack strings will let go. Most annoying answer given the housewife as to why there Isn't more sugar was this one: "They're afraid, if they let loose of sugar, that the bootleg gers and moonshiners will get hold of it and have a hey-day!" And most housewives snorted that they weren't interested in liquor, what they wanted was jam and jelly for the kids Admittedly, warehouses are bulging with sugar and be cause most housewives are in terested in only getting sugar in the bowl and the preserving kettle, they don't give a whoop for the excuses offered by the government. However, a re cent story In a national weekly which advised that warehouses were crammed to overflowing nnd that growers were advised there was no room to store the new crop, cane or beet, is the sort of a story, true or false, that doesn't go well. . Grocers continue on allot ment as well' as the individual consumer and it is not altogeth er fair to rib the man behind the counter who has had a bad enough time of it during the war. A letter to the presi dent senator or congressman would be a better place to let off the steam.

Two other republicans joined the ilx democrats on the enate house committee in reporting to congress that the military com mandera in Washington and Honolulu were chiefly at fault In failing to anticipate the surprise attack with which the Japanese) began the war. Senators Brewster (R-Me.) and Ferguson (R-Mlch.) concluded In a minority report that the committee's six month investigation had shown "the failure to per- form the responsibilities indis pensably essential to the de fense of Pearl Harbor" rests upon the late President Roose velt and: Henry L.

Majority Report The committee majority, headed by senate Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky.) said: "The committee ha found no evidence to support the charg es, made before ahd during the hearings, that the preaident, the lecretary of state, the secretary of war or the secretary of the navy tricked, provoked, incited, cajoled or coerced Japan into attacking this nation in order that a declaration of war might be more easily obtained from congress. "On the contrary, all evi dence conclusively points to the fact that they discharged their responsibilities with distinction. ability and foresight in keeping with the highest traditions of our fundamental foreign pol icy."

July "20 0F) As a result of a series of sur prise amendments proposed by John Foster Dulles the senate may defer until next year any action on American adherence to the new world court. Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich.) said Dulles had suggested in a letter to the foreign relations committee several highly tech nical amendments which Van denberg said went to the core of "important questions." Dulles, who was foreign af fairs advisor to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in the 1944 presi dential campaign, has served as an adviser at Big Four for eign ministers conferences and was named by President Tru man as an alternate American delegate to the September . 25 meeting of the United Nations assembly in New York. Previously, Undersecretary of State Dean O. Acheson had testified before the foreign re lations group that "the presi dent and the secretary of state have carefully weighed the pro posal . . . and have recom mended that the United States should deposit its declaration and accept the jurisdiction of the court." OPA Continues To Hire Staff WASHINGTON, July 20 UP) Uncertain future or not, OPA has added a few employes to its rolls since the expiration of price controls. An official of the agency re ported today that even though there was no assurance when they could be paid, 19 persons joined the OPA Washington staff during the two-week per iod which began July 1, when the price act went off the books. At the same time this of ficial, who withheld use of his name, said that resignations ap pear to be holding "at about the normal rate." Arnold Sees Polar Regions As Avenue Of Next Attack LOS ANGELES, July 20 (P Gen. H. H. Arnold, wartime chief of the army air forces, says he believes any future blow against the United States "will come from across the polar regions, not by way of the seas." Predicting future atomic bombs "may well be 1000 times as de structive as those exploded over Japan, Gen. Arnold in a press conference yesterday, countered an inquiry as to whether the U. S. could know if any other nation were secretly building atomic bombs with this question: "Who knows what's going on deep Inside Russia?" Later, in a speech before the Institute of Aeronautical Sci ences, he predicted "invasion of the stratosphere" by "true space ships capable of one or more trips around the world." . "You and I know that this Is House OK's Atom Energy Control Bill WASHINGTON. Julv 20 iP The house p a s e d a much amended atomic energy control bill today, sendine it to a sen ate-house conference for adjust ment 01 ainerences between tha two chambers. . Passage followed almost five days of debate during which me senates control bill was changed by a long list of amendments. Major house changes nrovid- ed for military representation . on the proposed five -member atomic energy control commis sion; for a military man at the head of the military application division; for authority for the armed forces to make atomic bombs under certain conditions, .' and for the death penalty for tne most serious violations. A short time before the house rejected a move to pigeon-hole the control bill until next year by a vote of 195 to 46. Loyalty Check The house shouted into the legislation today an amendment requiring an FBI loyalty check for all persons connected in any way with atomic energy devel opment. . The amendment, proposed by Rep. Dondero (R-Mich.), was ap proved by a thunderous voicd vote amid fresh demands that the entire bill be sent back to the military committee for fur-tbCTKStudyr- - " Dondero 's amendment " would' require the FBI to apply a loy alty check to "persons associate ed in any capacity with the de velopment and control" of atomic energy under the pro posed five-member atomic en ergy control commission. Its adoption followed a dec laration by Rep. Rankin (D Miss.) that communists "are packed into every department of this government" and the committee on un-American ac tivities "know about it." 'They are packed into the war department," Rankin said, and accused congress of not having "been on the job." "The first thing you know our people will be blown to pieces by this atomic bomb," he added. Chinese State Marines Freed MUKDEN, July 20 (IP) Na tionalist sources here reported unofficially today that seven United States marines who were captured by an armed band near Chinwangtao a week ago had been released by "communists." Yesterday at Peiping, marine headquarters called off a search by two regiments of air-supported marines in the Chinwangtao area to permit negotiations for release of the men by a truce team. The marines did not, however, identify the captors as commu nists. The men were taken prisoner by armed Chinese when they went to a village north of Chin wangtao to purchase rice. Nationalists said the band con sisted of 200 "communists." Nationalist sources immediate ly charged that communists had seized the Americans, and gov ernment troops assisted in the search.

"There is a real possibility of developing a rocket-propelled vehicle which will climb above the atmosphere to such a velocity that its centrifugal force bal ances the attraction of gravity. I am told this velocity is of the order of 26,000 feet per second but five times that already at tained by the V-2 (German rocket bomb)". Arnold urged "complete inte gration" of all armed services with air power granted "a place in its own right beside our ground and sea forces" and a "federalization" of military and civilian resources to continue gains in science and industry achieved In the last war.
