Truman yanked the ceiling from
meats and livestock on Oct. 14.
One high government official
told a reporter that Mr. Truman
will make a final ruling in a day
j or so and probably announce it
next week.
While the plan is to retain rent
| controls, some government offi
cials are saying it is “likely” it will
be necessary to permit some in
j crease in rent ceilings if other con
trols are dropped.
There was no indication whe
ther such an increase in rent ceil
ings would be on an individual
landlord basis or across the board.

1 rge Ordered
(By RuimII Brin**)
TOKYO, (>P)—A political purge
that may oust 250,000 to 400,000
ultra-natlionaiist prefectural and
rural officials who formed the
backbone of Japan’s wartime jin
goism was ordered today by the
government at General MacAr
thur’s direction.
These officials, including even
ward leaders, will be screened to
eliminate those who helped spread
Tokyo’s war flames to the coun
tryside, which provided most of
Japan’s fighting men.
The purge is the first extension
of MacArthur’s January directive
outside of central government of
ficials. It already had removed
180,000 national government of
ficials.
The extension later may include
top wartime economic leaders.
The order specified that officials
who fail to pass the screening will
be eliminated 60 days before the
prefectural elections, scheduled for
spring.
The purge was announced al
most simultaneously with circula
tion of the agenda for the next al
lied council meeting, Wednesday,
when members are scheduled to
discuss the Russian proposed topic,
the effect of the original purge on
Diet members.

ODDFELLOWS TO HAVE
NOMINATION OF OFFICERS
At the regular meeting on Friday
night at 8:30 o'clock the Oddfel
lows will hold nomination of offi
cers at the home of Brother Rob
ert Ledgerwood.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority

In the era before Alaska Airlines' big,
multi-engine Starlincrs went into service,
the task of moving a dragline to a new
location was a tremendous one, often
involving sledge, riverboats, and ship
ment Outside and back.
Now, moving day for a mine means
hours instead of months, thanks to the
mighty carrying capacity of the Star
Uners.
Not everyone in Alaska moves mines.
But nearly all Alaskans ship something,
even if it's only a tiny package. And
experience has shown that shipment by
Alaska Airlines is the swiftost, surest
means of transport available.
All Stariiners carry air-freight on sched
uled runs. Special aircraft are available
for specialized moving jobs. Contact your

Russia Postpones
Speech to U. N.
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (/P)—
The Soviet Union today postponed
its keenly anticipated policy
speech in the 51-member United
Nations trusteeship committee
where the United States already
has offered U. N, jurisdiction,
with a “strategic area” reserva
tion, over Japanese-mandated is
lands in the Pacific.
Prof. Boris Stein, alternate Rus
sian delegate, first explained to
the committee that postponement j
to Monday was necessary because,
Ambassador Nikolai Novikov was
delayed in Washington. Then No-1
vikov arrived during the meeting;
but did not take the floor and the
Russians offered no further ex
planation.
The Russian delay was an
nounced after a United States1
take-it-or-leave-it stand in pre
senting the island proposal gave
strong evidence of this nation’s
determination to pursue its policy
of patient firmness with Russia,
within the U. N.
Eight other nations scheduled to t
speak today also asked for post
ponement as it was learned that
Russia would not speak yet on
what is expected to be one of the
hottest controversies before the U.
N. assembly and the security coun- j
cil.
Karel Lisicky of Czechoslovak
ia, took the floor when it appeared
that the meeting might adjourn
before Novikov arrived, assailed
the statistics submitted by South
Africa showing a majority of the
southwest African natives favored
annexation.
John Foster Dulles, United
States alternate delegate, made the
American stand on the Pacific is
lands apparent when he told news
men that rejection of the Wash
ington proposal would mean con
tinuance of “de facto” administra
tion by the present controlling au
thority.
