President Truman urged a divided Congress today to order a year's specialized military training for young men 17 to 20 years of age to form a "backbone of defense" against future aggression. Applauded and cheered in his first post-war appearance before Congress the President told a joint session of the legislators.

1. Until peace machinery functions adequately, the United States "must relentlessly preserve our superiority on land and sea and in the air." 2. All young men except those totally unfit physically should be trained a year to build up a reserve behind a small professional Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. 3. Training should be specialized in a separate organization, with trainees subject to military duty only when chosen by Selective Service at the call of Congress.

4. Scientific developments must go ahead "no matter what the cost," but even the atomic bomb would have been useless without strong armed forces to capture bases within striking distance of the enemy. "The atomic bomb is of little value without an adequate army, air and naval force," the President said. "For that kind of force is necessary to protect our shores, to overcome any attack and to enable us to move forward and direct the bomb against the enemy's No. 2 Power In Venezuela Luis Valmore, Interior Minister, Enlisted In U.

S. in 1916; Will Rule On Foreign Investments CARACAS, Oct. 23 (JP). Luis Valmore Rodriguez, 45-year-old former United States Army sergeant. will be sworn in today in the number Two spot in the revolutionary Venezuelan government which seized the power in a four-day uprising that o'erthrew President Isaias Medina Angarita.

Valmore was named to the powerful post of interior minister by his friend. Revolutionary President Ro- mulo Betancourt, and will have charge of many important functions, including the government's relations with U. S. oil companies and other foreign investors. Foreign Investors Safeguarded Valmore, editor of El Pais, organ of the Democratic Action Party of which he is a Header, gave assurances In an interview that he would "respect the rights" of foreign investors The new government, meanwhile, moved swiftly to seek foreign recognition.

Interim Foreign Minister Carlos Morales announced that the revolutionary junta had advised diplomatic missions of all countries of the makeup of the government and its aims. Morales said his policy in the foreign ministry would be to meet all international obligations which the previous government had made. He said he believed that the new government would be recognized by other nations when they were acquainted with the origin of the revolutionary movement, which he declared was to provide a secret, universal vote for president. Asked whether the Act of Cha- pultepec did not make it necessary for other nations to withhold recognition from governments established by coups, he said he interpreted this to mean regimes established by coercion rather than by popular will. Opposition Collapses He made no commitment on his government's future relations with the Spanish government of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, the Dominican republic government of Rafael Trujillo, or the current Argentina regime, but said his people were not in favor of such regimes.

The new Leftist government announced that all opposition to the (See VENEZUELA Page 4) Jap Ammunition Almost Was Gone Defeat Declared Certain Without A-Bomb, Reds, Super-Forts TOKYO, Oct. 23 (JP).

Robert K. Hall of Washington, D. 11th Corps ordnance officer, asserted today. Hall said he had discovered that the Japanese had only enough divisional type ammunition for but a few days of close combat, or "about half the amount we planned to take in on the initial landing." Resupply would have been out of the question because the Japanese virtually quit the manufacture of ammunition six months before the end of the war. The destruction of.

between 200 and 300 tons of ammunition of all kinds, including that of the navy. army and air corps, is under way now. Ammunition heavier than water is dumped into the sea. The lighter grades are burned. Attempts are being made to reconvert some of the explosives to commercial use.

S. TaxCuttingBill Vandenberg Move For $25,000 Corporation Exemption Defeated WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (JP). The Senate finance committee today formally approved the new tax cutting bill, giving taxpayers a saving of $5,625,000,000 next year. The overall figure, based on revised estimates by experts, is $4,000,000 smaller than the original estimate of tax reductions in the Senate bilL Chairman George (D-Ga) said there was only one last-minute attempt to amend the bill and that failed.

Senator Vandenberg R-Mich) moved unsuccessfully to give corporations a retroactive $25,000 exemption from the excess profits tax, applicable to 1945 income. Other Moves Seen The proposal, along with several other changes, probably will be renewed when the bill is called up for action in the Senate tomorrow. Senators in touch with the situation said they expected efforts from the floor to tack on these proposals which the committee rejected: 1. An increase from $500 to $600 in the exemption allowed Individual income taxpayers for themselves and' each dependent. Senator La- Follette Prog-Wis) proposed this unsuccessfully to the committee.

Chairman George (D-Ga) estimated it would cost over $1,000,000,000 in revenue. 2. Some cuts in the so-called "luxury taxes. These are on jewelry, furs, luggage, telephone charges. light bulbs and alcoholic beverages.

The House voted to drop next July 1 the increases which were made in 1943. The Senate group decided against any change. No Word From Treasury George told reporters before the committee session that he had re ceived no word from the Treasury on the bill whipped up by the finance group. Secretary of the Treasury Fred M. Vinson had asked that the total tax cut be held close to $5,000,000,000.

George said he thought the Sen ate could dispose of the bill with about two days of debate. It then will go to a join Senate-House committee for a compromise of differences. The House approved in cuts. MacArthur Favors Rope For Jap War Criminals MANILA, Oct. 23 (INS).

Gen. Douglas MacArthur favors execution of Japanese war criminals on the gallows rather than by firing squad. This was disclosed exclusively today to International News Service by a friend of the supreme commander who declined use of his name. Shooting, MacArthur told his friend, is a soldier's death. The rope is reserved for murderers, and war criminals.

Hitler Knew of Hess' Flight, Ex-Aide Says DACHAU, Germany. Oet. 19 (Delayed) (JP). Rudolf Hess' private secretary, in an interview today, expressed belief that Hitler knew all about the deputy leader's flight to England because Hess dic tated to her a memorandum about the project for the Fuehrer. The secretary, Hildegard Fath, is held in ttiis concentration camp where 13.000 SS members are interned.

She may appear as a witness in the Nuernberg war crimes trials next month. "I would be glad to testify if I could help Mr. Hess," she said. She was employed for a time as a laboratory technician for the U. S.

98th General Hospital although she reported in a questionnaire that she was Hess secretary from 1933 to 1941 and a Nazi Party member from 1937 on. Cent a Quart Boost Seen Here as Pennsylvania Markets Plan Increase If Subsidies Are Removed As Pennsylvania marketing areas prepared to boost the retail price of milk by one cent a quart whenever federal subsidies are removed, Wil- mington dairymen agreed that a similar price increase "would have to be made here at the same time. However, ho immediate indication of an early end to the federal milk subsidy was seen. The Pennsylvania order is being drafted to be issued only in case the subsidy is dropped. It will be in readiness for an automatic retail price increase in Philadelphia and nearby areas when that happens.

The local spokesmen said Delaware dairies and others throughout the nation would have to do the same thing. Would Be Independent Move The Wilmington dairies are supplied almost exclusively by farms in Delaware and Maryland, so that such a move here would have to be taken independently. In Harrisburg. the Pennsylvania Milk Control Commission is meeting today with representatives from the Philadelphia, Philadelphia suburban, Schuylkill, Lehigh, Harrisburg and York areas to begin preparation of the directive, which would not be issued unless the government stopped paying the subsidy which averages 35 cents a hundred weight in the six sectors. The proposed increase 'from 14 to 15 cents a quart would have to be sanctioned by the Office of Price Administration, it was emphasized.

A similar order in April, 1943, was approved by the OPA but the a proval was withdrawn later in line with a price policy. Agrees to Purchase Milk The federal government then agreed to purchase milk from pro ducers, previously sold at $3.70 a hundredweight, for $4.05. and resell it to dealers at the former price. Milk handlers recently expressed concern that this 35-cent subsidy might be withdrawn. Willis F.

Daniels, counsel for dealers in the six areas, contended that elimination of the subsidy and a one cent retail price increase "would not permit us to enjoy quite the spread we enjoy now" but added that "we favor the elimination of the subsidy because we consider that" it is in the interest of sound government." He explained that under the pres ent system dealers get the subsidy for the entire hundredweight, whereas under the price increase this would not be so because all milk is not so'd in quart units. Yank 'Mike9 Set Yamashita Trap Smuggled Into Secret G. H. It Recorded Luzon Plans MANILA, Oct. 23 (JP).

A word-for-word account of Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita's 1944 Christmas Day staff conference on plans for the defense of Luzon, recorded by a microphone hidden in the Japa nese commander's supposedly secret headquarters, was relayed to Gen eral MacArthur by the undercover 978th Signal Service Company, TJ. S. authorities disclosed today. The microphone was smuggled into the paunchy Yamashita's head quarters in Santa Mesa, suburb of Manila, by Filipino and American guerillas.

The smug voices it picked up at that staff meeting were sent out of Manila on 978th Signal Service transmitters which had been smuggled into the city on April 26, 1944, by Corp. George, Herreria. The Signal Service company operated a secret radio network in the Philippines which, with the help of guerillas, kept TJ. S. forces informed of Japanese movements and strength, and enabled Yank bombers to pinpoint targets throughout the archipelago.

15,000 Japs StillRoam Mountains in Luzon MANILA. Oct. 23 (JP). Fifteen thousand Japanese soldiers are still roaming the mountains bordering Luzon's eastern Cagayan Valley. Congressman Leion Cabarroguis of Neuva Vizcaya Province reported today.

The Filipino legislator said the Japanese are willing to surrender to Americans, but not to Filipinos. They live by raiding farms for produce. Cabarroguis said his constituents had reported that Gen. Artemio Ri-carte, Filipino exile who lived in Yokohama for 40 years rather than swear allegiance to the United States, returned with the Japanese in 1941 and is still hiding in the mountains. Compromise Demands For 30 Pet.

Hike; White Houe Statement Withheld After Conference By Associated Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. Re ports circulated today that the administration may ask indus try to increase pay while hold ing the line on prices, and unions to compromise demands for a 30 per cent hik. President Truman, exploring cautiously all aspects of the wage-price problem, is believed to have been urged by cabinet and other advisers to try this course first.

There were signs that further discussions will be held before the White House issues any statement, and even that the whole matter may be deferred until the labor-management conference beginning Nov. 5. Here is the situation in brief: 1. Edward C. Moran, assistant secretary of labor, said "a very definite policy was substantially agreed to" at a White House conference he attended yesterday afternoon.

2. Other sources indicated there was a strong tendency to rely on government pe; suasion of industry to grant higher wages perhaps 15 per cent runder terms of Mr. Truman's Aug. 18 executive order. This removed restrictions on pay increases not involving higher prices.

3. It was learned that the advisory committee of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion will see any new wage-price plan before it is made public. The committee meets next Monday and Tuesday. 4. Mr.

Truman plans to confer With most of the labor-manage- (See WAGE-PRICE Page 4) More Traffic Lights Installed Several Market Street Intersections Getting Controls Traffic lights are being installed aiong Market Street at the intersections of Third, Twelfth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Streets.

Butcher-OPA Aide Named in Overcharges PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 23 (JP). Leon Steinberg, a member of an OPA ration board panel, was ordered by U.

S. District Court not to make any farther overcharges in ceiling prices. Judge J. Cullen Ganey issued a temporary injunction prohibiting Steinberg from selling meat above OPA ceilings. He also ordered the butcher to post ceiling prices in the shop he operates.

Three factors must be carefully considered, he said: (1) Living conditions. (2) Inflated cost of living. (3) The fact that most European educational centers must be com pletely reestablished.
