' March 10 WVFlve Western Europrsn nations negotiating a military alliance agreed in principle today that their union will be open to other countries of the continent. France and Britain have pushed for a five-power pact open to other nations, and British officials said the Benelux countries Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg had accepted this as a basis for dis cussion. The , Benelux nations, however, cautioned that there still are dif ferences to be bridged hi discussion of the French-British proposal, sub mitted late yesterday. Fernand Van Langenhove, chief Belgian delegate, said the proposal affects the funda mental structure of the proposed treaty. The provision to leave the door open was believed to be designed primarily for Italy.

March 10 lfr General MacArlhur said today he would not allow ihe presidential campaign to Interfere with the occupation of Japan, indicating he Intends to re main aloof from campaign Issues. His public relations officer Issued a statement that MacArthur's an nouncement of availability does "not change In the slightest" the opera tions of headquarters. Requests for a news conference and new, posed pictures were declined. Col. M. P. Echols, the pro. said the general has nothing to add to yesterday's announcement, which he made as "a private citizen." Keeps Quirt Thus it was indicated that Mac- Arthur probably will not go out of his way to clarify his views on sub jects other than the International topics he alraady has discussed. His latest statement on International policy was ft recent message sup porting military aid to China. (In Shanghai, China's official Central newi agency said in a Tokyo dispatch: MacArthur recently told a high Chinese official his I Mac Arthur's election as president "would be the best thing that could happen to Chiang Kai-shek." This official was quoted as saying the general added, however, his election "would be a miracle.") There has been not Indication of MacArthur's views on any domestic United States problem. He has not been In the Suites since 1937. Tokyo buzzed with speculation, notwithstanding official emphasis on business as usual.

Tile added hour of day light in the evenings will save a great deal of power. Much of the state already has browned out. Power usage general ly has been cut 20 per cent, caus ing one-day shutdowns In many In dustrial plants and putting many thousands of laborers on a four-day week. Only once before did Caltfornians set their clocks ahead. That was in World War II. when the entire na tion did. There have been many at tempts to put the state on day light time, but the legislature de feated every one until yesterday. Governor Warren said he would sign the legislature's daylight time act as soon as It reaches his desk, probably today. California's mountain reservoirs are at dangerously low levels. Its great agricultural valleys, pasture and range lands are parched. Agri culture and Industry face an ever worsening situation.

It would have provided that the United States contribute $5,000,000. 000 to the United Nations to help set ihj a reconstruction and econo rr.lc development administration for Europe.

He added, however., that municipalities have the power to declare It for themselves. Salem's Mayor R. L. Elfatrom. president of the League of Oregon Cities, has sent questionnaires to 182 Oregon cities, leading to an effort for unified action at a league meet ing at Enterprise Monday. To avoid confusion, he said, the entire coast should adopt daylight laving time now that California has been forced to do so to conserve power In Its drouth emergency.

He sent a draft to the newspaper with a request that it buy him $10 worth of the currency. Hsin Mln Fao regrets to say It cant do that It Is returning the draft. The controlled radio said Masaryk "must have been seriously ag grieved and wounded by the mall clous, tendentious attacks made upon him by the western press." The government broadcast at noon officially announced the death. It followed the announce ment with the solemn requiem music of Anton Dvorak, the great Czech composer. Vaclav Nosek, minister of the In terior, told the purged parliament NSosaryk hurled himself from his bathroom window. He said the for eign minister had spent the night rinding letters and telegrams from England and the United States at tacking him for continuing In the communist government. Numerous cigarette stubs were found on the desk. Nosek said. All the new cabinet attended the session. A wreath of roses and lilies lay on the bench where Masaryk would have sat. The controlled press had quoted him as telling Czechoslovak army officers last Thursday: "You can count on me. I am one C you. ... We must have unity with the Soviet Union. Our place Is at their side. We must be grateful If Russia allows us to be there."
