II. SBACKFORD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 'President Truman tonight to-night made public a report on the condition pf Jews in Germany and Austria which, charged that American military mil-itary government forces "appear to be treating the Jews as the Nazis treated them." . Simultaneously, he released a better to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower ordering him to "clean up" the- reported conditions con-ditions and to turn Germans out of their homes, if neees- i sary, to get the Jewish survivors Kaiser Back In Washington on Fontana Deal WASHINGTON, Sept 29 U. Henry J. Kaiser was back ' in Washington today. Trying again to get terms from the Recou-itruction Recou-itruction Finance Corporation on his morteaeed Fontana, Calif.. steel plant which will allow him to produce . steel competitively trith eastern companies. The west coast industrialist ap parently has rejected RFCa first affer which was made after month's of negotiations. After he received it Kaiser said the terms of the refinancing deal would force his steel prices up beyond competitive range. He met yesterday with wes' soast congressmen at a luncheon on Capitol Hill also attended by Crus Eaton, Cleveland, O.. financier fin-ancier and industrialist. Just before be-fore Kaiser saw the congressmen, Kenneth Norris, of Los Angeles chairman of the western steel council, met with President Tru man and urged tna$ war-bom western steel Industries be in sured a postwae survival.. "That is the only noint at issue here," Rep. Harry Sheppard, IX, Calif., said. He is chairman of a committee of California, Oregon and Washington congressmen who have interested themselves in Kaiser's plight. "There is no reason to take the tax-payer s money to- build up an economy in one .part of the country and destroy it in -another." he said. "That is the sit uation created by the present policy of these government agen cies.' The westeners tend to resent the fact that established steel companies were granted money by the Defense Plant Corporation for wartime operations. Kaiser, starting from scratch with Fontana, Fon-tana, was told he was not eligible elig-ible for a grant but that he could borrow from RFC. The day of reckoning with postwar markets finds Kaiser faced with a debt while the old-line companies' war investments are written off. If Kaiser must pay virtually all of his original loan, without any write-off equal to grants made to other companies, the price of his steel must go up. Under such circumstances, cir-cumstances, Kaiser predicts he. will be forced out of business. of Nazism out of filthy concen tration camps. The letter and the report revealed that Mr. Truman has appealed to British Prime Minister Clement Atlee to open up Palestine for the emi-rratlon emi-rratlon of the remaining estimated esti-mated 10.0,00 Jews in Germany Ger-many and Austria. The White House said the presi dent's letter to Attlee would be re leased as -soon as an answer is received. Reports from London indicated that the British .government .govern-ment will reject the American request re-quest and suggest the United Nations Na-tions organization cope with the Palestine-Jewish problem. Startling Disclosures The startling disclosures in eluding "a darning indictment of Allied handling of the estimated 100,000 Jews who survived the Nazis were made in a report by Earl G. Harrison who was sent to Europe by the president on a special mission to investigate the conditions of displaced persons especially the Jews. The Harrison report was a re cital of horrid conditions under which Germany's Jews have been subjected ever since "liberation." They are still confined to concentration camps inelnd--ing notorious Bereer Belsen camp and according to Harrison Har-rison are still treated much as they were under the Germans. Harrison said that the Germans. by comparison, are better fed, better bet-ter clothed and better housed than the Jews who presumably were "liberated." Harrison's" report, ' made" in August but withheld, from publication publi-cation until now! warned of trouble ahead unless immediate steps are taken to evacuate from Germany and Austria the Jews who wish to leave. People Desperate Unless this action ... is taken." the report said, "substantial un official and unauthorized move ments of people must be expected, and these will require considerable consider-able force to prevent . . it cannot be overemphasized that many of these people are now desperate, that they have become accustomed to German rule to employ every possible means to reach their end, and that the fear of death does not restrain them." The majority of Jews in Ger many and Austria want to be evacuated to Palestine now, Har rison said, and "the issue of Palestine must be faced."

Four-Fifths of Jap Army Returned to Civilian Life By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent TOKYO, Sept. 29 (U.PJJapan reported today that four-fifths of the two and one-quarter million men of its crack home army, which a month ago stood fanatically fanatic-ally ready to resist invasion to the death, had laid down their arms and returned to civilian life.

It ascribed the generally im proved outlook chiefly to the sudden sud-den end of the war, saying that military procurement food "will be very much smaller from now on than it has been for the last two years." Supplies of meats, canned fish, canned fruits, fruit juices, vegetables, vege-tables, turkey, chicken, canned ' milk and cream will be "materi ally larger" than in recent months and "much larger" than for the like period last year, it said. It is entirely likely that there wiU be surplus stocks of eggs, potatoes and lower grades of beef, the department said. American civilians also were promised more butter, cheese, ' pork and veal, and a moderate improvement in the critical fats and oil supply. But the sugar situation remains bleak.

Patton, returning to his headquarters at Bad Tolz today, after being set straight on U. S. policy toward Nazis by Gen, uwignt v. JLisennower, reportedly launched a drastic shakeup of the civil government of Bavaria, in eluding the dismissal of minister- president Friedrich Schaeffer. No announcement was expected before next week on possible dis ciplinary action against Patton for his alleged tolerance of Nazis in official posts. But indications were that Eisenhower had de cided to give the Third army commander a chance to redeem himself by a fast eradication of Nazi influence in the eastern sec tion of the American occupation, zone. Military circles at U. S. European Euro-pean headquarters believed the supreme commander's admiration for Patton as a military leader had caused him to be lenient and give Patton a chance to retain his office rather than disgrace a top field commander by dismissal as Third army commander and re moval from the theater. Substantiation of reports -that Patton was "cleaning house'-in Bavaria came in announcement from his headquarters that 400 Germans who falsified question naires for obtaining employment in the Bavarian government, had been convicted and that 424 others were yet to be tried. There was no confirmation of a persistent report in highmilitary circles that Schaeffer, ultra-con servative leader of the -peoples party and accused of pro-Nazism, had been removed from office. Schaeffer's appointment of 20 Nazis to civil offices and Patton's toleration of their appointment was one of the primary factors in the investigation of the Bavarian setup.
