His report began with a detailed section on the conditions of Jews In Germany and Austria. High- lights of those conditions: 1. Three months after V-E day many Jewish displaced persons still were living under guard behind be-hind barbed wire fences In camps built by Germans for slave labor ers and Jews amidst crowded, frequently unsanitary and generally gener-ally grim conditions. Such In ternees had no opportunity, ex cept surreptitiously to communl rate with the outside world. 2. There has been marked lm provemenis in health over the Nazi stravatlon program, but "many pathetic malnutrition cases." One army chaplain per sonally attended since liberation 23,000 burials (90 per cent Jews) at Berger Belsen alone. Harrison said despite reports to the con trary that 14,000 displaced persons, per-sons, including more than 7,000 Jews, still are living at Berger Belsen. "one of the largest and most vicious of the concentration camps." 3. As late as July, many Jews had no clothing other than "a hideous striped pa jama" furnished furnish-ed concentration camp inmates by the Germans. Others were obliged to wear. German ss uniforms. "It is questionable which clothing they hate the more," Harrison said. 4. Nothing in the way of a program of activity or rehabilitation re-habilitation has been Inaugurated Inaugu-rated for these Jews. They have little to do "except to dwell upon their plight, the uncertainty of their future and, what Is more unfortunate, unfortu-nate, to draw comparisons between be-tween their treatment 'under the Germans' and 'In liberation'." libera-tion'." "Beyond knowing that they are no longer in danger of the gas chambers, torture and other forms of violent death, they see and there is little change," the report re-port said. "This situation is considerably accentuated where, as in so many cases, they are able to look from their crowded and bare quarters and see the German civilian population popu-lation ... to all appearance living normal lives in their own homes." S. "Very little" has been done to reunite family groups and, Harri son reported, "It depends on -the personal attitude and disposition of the camp commandant" whether even' scanty Information is followed up. 6. Large numbers of the German population have a more varied and palatable diet than the displaced dis-placed persons. The bulk of the diet in many cixnps consists of "a black, wet and extremely unap petizing bread." "One must raise the question," the report said, "as to how much longer many of these people... can survive on a diet composed principally of bread and coiiee." Mr. Truman, In bis letter to Elsenhower, said he was aware that the conditions reported by Hanson were not in conformity with policies promulgated by SHAEF (supreme headquarters Allied expeditionary forces). Policies Ignored "But they are what actually exists In the field," tb president said. "In other words, the policies are not being carried out by some of your subordinate oflfcers." Mr. Truman pointed out that military government officers of-ficers have been directed to requisition billeting- facilities from the 'Germans for displaced dis-placed 'persons. But, he added that the Harrison report showed "this has not been done on any wide scale." "Apparently It is being taken for granted that au displaced per sons,. Irrespective of their former prosecution, must remain in camps many of which are overcrowded and heavily guarded," the presi dent said. "Some of these camps are the very ones where these people were herded together, starved, tortured and made to witness wit-ness the death of their fellow inmates in-mates and friends and relatives. "The, announced policy has been to give such persons preference over the German civilian population popula-tion m housing but the practice seems to be quite another thing."

My bride had insisted I get my vitamins and there by gollles was the sarge with a lettuce and tomato salad, a fruit cup and carrots all of which ate for my health's sake hand also because I was hungry. This pioneering gives a feller an appetite. - So we got off last night at 9:15 EWT to stretch our legs in a place called Bermuda which, I understand, is pretty and which some day I hope to see. All I got this trip from Bermuda was a whiff of air flavored by frangl- pani blooms, maybe, and away we went. This is a clean trip (no dust, no fumes, no orchestral din) but the army insists we wash; it has even cabled the news that we take a bath in Manila. I'll let you know how that goes. And so to bed as soon as I finish this. I won't be long be cause I don't want to get the idea I'm working. A good bed, too, consisting of an air mattress, soft like a .baby's cheek.

MacArthur (Continued from Page One) Patton was reported stumped as to who will be named as Schaef-fer's Schaef-fer's successor as head of the Bavarian Ba-varian civil administration. Schaeffer had tried to resign two weeks ago on grounds Patton "lacked confidence" in him. His offer, which was refused at that time, was based on the disfavor he had created by the appointment appoint-ment of Nazis, but he defended his action by saying they were essential to efficient operation of the government. Appointees who were known party members were ordered removed by Patton. In dollar volume, the 1044 pro duction of aircraft in the United States reached $10,400,000,000.

Most Japanese argue that his abdication might touch off serious political and economic disturb ances harming both Japan's occupation oc-cupation and her reconstruction They take the attitude that the allies are morally bound not to Interfere with Hirohito because of the assurances they gave when Japan accepted the Potsdam declaration. At the same time Japanese and certain allied personnel here feel that public opinion outside Japan may demand his abdication. There is no precedent in mod ern Japanese history for an em peror i abdication and the constitution consti-tution although it could be changed makes no provision for his stepping down. Hlrohito's successor would be his son Prince Akhlto, and since he is 12 years old a regency would have to be established if his father-abdicated. There is no evidence of any radical element In Japan demanding demand-ing the emperor's removal, but informed sources' say that the Japanese police remain extremely loyal to the emperor and could quickly stamp out any demonstration demonstra-tion against him. Belief in his divinity is firmly rooted in the lower classes. The upper classes, while they do not believe literally in his divinity, are so reluctant to engage in a frank discussion of the emperor that it is difficult to get an ob jective picture. Hirohito, an informed source said, seemed slightly nervous when he first met MacArthur. A Japanese interpreter was present at the meeting, but MacArthur did not deem it necessary to have his own there. Hirohito was asked whether he cared to be photo graphed with the general and agreed readily, it was reported.

Hoover, civil censorship officer for u. s. occupation occu-pation forces, that they could re sume distributing the banned editions. An eight-point directive was dispatched to the Jap-' Jap-' anese government ' regarding abolition of censorship and press controls. It ordered that until all regulatory laws are abolished, their enforcement shall be suspended and no punitive action shall be taken against any newspaper unless ordered by the supreme commander. It abolished article 23 of the drastic 1919 press law which provided pro-vided that the "home ministry can prohibit the issuance and distribution distribu-tion of newspapers which contain articles that disturb the public tranquility and order or are harmful to .public morals and decency." Tries to Explain-Before Explain-Before the directive was issued, T. Urabe, secretary of the board of censorship, had tried to explain ex-plain the government's ban on Kluckhohn's interview. He said it would "disturb public tran quility." Baillle's interview he added, should not be published if Kluckhohn's was banned. Urabe said that Kluckhohn's interview in-terview "made it appear that the emperor himself had accused Gen. Hldeki Tojo of misusing the imperial im-perial war rescript." He 3ald it was traditional that (he emperor never accuses an individual and the interview might lead the Jap anese people to believe Hirohito was accusing Tojo and thereby cause disorders.

The English-language Nippon Times, flaying actlons-of the Japanese Jap-anese government, said officials do not seem to realize "Japan not only has been defeated . . . but that she is on the strictest kind of probation and must demon strate a complete change In heart before she can be readmitted to normal International intercourse." "The public is clamoring for a fundamental change in the eiec tlon system, a reorganization of the house of peers, a re-exami nation of the system of the peer' ace itself, overhauling of the ad ministrative machinery and civil service . . . while officials sit at their desks, Japan's winter is fast approaching and the wretched people are shivering In tin shacks and must suffer because of the slowness and Inefficiency of the government," the newspaper said. Wins Acquittal In Murder Case ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Sept. 29 (U.R) A district court jury to day acquitted John V. Short, 25 year-old commercial photographer, photograph-er, of the "dark room" poisoning of his wife. Wilma. The jury reported Short innocent inno-cent after deliberating nine hours and 55 minutes, apparently convinced, con-vinced, that the beautiful young woman had taken her own life. The jury began its deliberations last night after District Attorney M. Ralph Brown asked for a verdict ver-dict of guilty on charges that Short poisoned his wife with a film developing solution. Brown demanded the death penalty. Mrs. Short, 17-year-old bride of four months, was found dead last May 24 in an Albuquerque photographic studio. A corner's jury found she died as a result of drinking a solution used in developing de-veloping film. UTAHN HONORED FORT LEWIS.

Van Cleave said farmers will continue to arise at dawn and go to bed at dark. Clocks will not be changed in some communities where the local governments insisted on remaining remain-ing on standard time during the war. In Chicago, a city ordinance will keep war time in effect until Oct. 28. Transportation systems will change there, too, however, except for suburban traffic. With an air of resignation, jewelers assumed that most people would make the change by turn ing the clock back one hour. But there would be less weai and tear on clocks, they said, if the hands were advanced 11 hours. CHILD KILLED BY ELECTRIC PENCE BOISE. Ida., Sept. 29 (U.R) Ada County Sheriff Don Headriek said today that Sherman Antone Wood, 5, son of Ralph Wood, Meridian, Route 2, was killed last night when he touched an electrified fence, Headrlcks said the child was electrocuted when he touched the fence while standing in mud. Oil Workers MaIcePid)o sal (Continued from Page One), crease now. They were the Texas Co Sinclair Oil Refining Co., Scony-Vacuum Oil CO, and Pan American Refining Co. James A. Tanham, Texas vice president, said hi company had told 'Knight that it CANNOT go higher thin the 13 per cent it has offered. He also said the agreement agree-ment between the union and Wil-shire Wil-shire Oil Co. Is for 60 days only, pending the outcome of industrywide industry-wide wage negotiations. Judge William L. Knoua of the Colorado supreme court, conducting conduct-ing the conference as Schwellen-bach's Schwellen-bach's representative, said that both sides still are talking about the issues and "as. long as they are talking there is a chance" that they may reach a settlement. Failure to reach a decision to night will force Sunday sessions because Schwellenbach has in slated that the dispute must be settled this weekend. He has NOT intimated what action the govern ment may take if a settlement is NOT forthcoming. Tanham said that NO company wants the government to takej over any of its plants. The army, navy and petroleum administration administra-tion for war are keeping the labor department informed of their needs. Federal seizure of some of the refineries is probable in order to get them back Into production early next week if the conference fails to work out as a basis for a resumption of work. One possibility appeared to be that the union might return to work if the companies enter into stipulation to have the war labor board decide the wage issue. A night session was scheduled after a four-hour intermission during which spokesmen for four companies met individually with Knight to explain why they would not offer wage increases of more than 15 per cent. Knight told reporters after af-ter the morning- session that the union would settle the dispute on the basis of the contract signed yesterday with the Wllshire Oil company com-pany at Los Angeles calling for a wage increase of 35 cents an hour. Offer A Concession- He said the 35-cent offer was a concession below the union s demand for a 30 per cent wage increase, which figures out to 38. cents-an-hour. The 35 cents, if granted, would increase the average hourly earnings of oil production workers from $1.27 to $1.52. The union's principal de mand is 52 hours pay for 40 hours work, and this increase would approximate 27.5 per cerit.

Nature of the research was a secret, plant officials said. The Standard employes, meanwhile, mean-while, met at the Whiting community com-munity center and were advised by their officials to return home, stay off the streets and avoid violence. The drive to close the Standard refinery was the latest step in the OWIU's drive to gain a 30 per cent wage increase. At least 24 refineries in six states have bee'n struck, shutting off more than a third of the nation's gasoline gaso-line supply. Closing of the Standard refinery here would pose a serious threat to Chicago, which gets most of its petroleum products from this area. Bradley M. Provis, president of the Gasoline Retailers Ass'n. of Chicago, said that gasoline stations sta-tions in Chicago had a three to four day supply on hand.
