Building
Controls
In Effect
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15 —Mi
Two building controls aimed at
combating inflation and saving ma
terials for defense became effect
ive today.
One requires federal licensing for
new commercial construction. The
other requires a 50 per cent cash
down payment on a vast range of
non-residentif.l construction.
The licensing system replaces a
general ban that has been in effect
on most such building since Jan
13.
The credit-tightening order ap
plies to stores, offices, hotels, banks, |
warehouses, garages, service sta
tions, restaurants, theaters, clubs j
and "other new structures used for
non-resident.al purposes.”
The order was issued yesterday by !
the Federal Reserve Board.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. — iA>) —
Advocates of restrictions against
Japanese fishing in the eastern
Pacific and Bering Sea expressed
approval of a voluntary more by
Japan to bar Us nationals tem
porarily fioin those areas.
The Japanese- government an
nounced it would keep its citizens
from those areas until after Japan
regains full sovereignty with sign
ing of a peace treaty. Thereafter,
Japanese Prime Minister Hoshida
said, Japan will be willing to ne
gotiate conservation arrangements
with other countries applying to all
fisheries accessible to the Japanese.
Senator Magnuson iD-Wash) ex
pressed satisfaction. He said he
would attempt to have the fishing
ban idea placed in the proposed
peace treaty with Japan.
Yoshida’s offer was contained in
correspondence with John Foster

The prime minister told Dulles
the Japanese government would

Japanese were conducting opera- j
tions nr 1940.
“Among such fisheries," he said,<
would be salmon, halibut, herring,'
sardine and tuna fisheries in tiie
waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean ■
and Bering Sea.” ,
State department officials said
fishing for giant-size king crabs

HUSH, HUSH. REASON
FOR POLICY OF U. S.|
REGARDING INDIA
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 —OPI— |
Here’s one hush-hush reason for |
this country’s policy of patience
and kindness toward India:
India has three-quarters of the
world’s supply of thorium, a min
eral that may become tremendous
ly important in the atomic energy
race with the Soviet Union, and the
U. S. Government doesn’t want to
risk letting th:; supply fall into un
friendly hands.
The whole subject is shrouded in
secrecy but one government official,
who asked not to be quoted by
name, acknowledged today that In
dia’s possession of all this potential
atomic material had its effect on
American policy. !
It may well have influenced
President Truman’s request — en
dorsed in principle by former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover and various
other leading Republicans — for a
gift of 2.000,000 tons of wheat tc
the government of India to help
avert the danger of famine.
