29. (IP) Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov condemned in advance today any attempt by the western powers to estab lish a provisional German government over their occupation areas. He indicated Russia would not allow such a government to speak at the peace table.

An American source said Molotov told the Big Four foreign ministers council: "If an ersatz government was set up for line economically merged British and American zones), it would not be adequate to speak for Germany." As the first week of the conference ended without agreement on any major issues, Molotov demanded that the establishment of a central German government be required before a peace conference is held. He met a solid lineup of foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France who disagreed with him, informants said. Marshall's View Separate Jewish, Arabic Nations Created by Plan U. S. S.

(Premier Robert Schuman's government asked for drastic powers today to curb strike agitation and sabotage and staged a lightning raid on two Communist newspapers as its struggle with leftist enemies "approached a grim showdown. The cabinet was authorita tively reported by one of its offi clals to have reiected outrieht an offer by the Communist-led Gen eral Confederation of Labor to call off the nation-wide strike by 2,000,000 unionists if the govern ment would drop its plans for the new "law for national defense.

This followed a feverish day in which the session of the national assembly was suspended once when Communists began singing a couplet from a French revolutionary song, other members burst into the Marseillaise, and Premier Schuman once was stopped from rushing upon Jacques Duclos, secretary of the Communist party. Threaten Fiat law Jules Moch, minister of the In ferior, warned Communist mem bers of the chamber of deputies the government would make the strike control measure a "law by decree" if they continued to harangue the government about it. The two Communist newspapers. L'Humanite and Ce Soir, had greet ed the government's request to the assembly for new powers by warning in extra editions that a reactionary coup d'etat was set for midnight tonight, and calling upon Communist "militants to rally to the defense of party office buildings and leaders.

Provides Penalties The government bill to curb strikes provides six months to a year imprisonment and 1,000 to 500,000 francs ($8 to $4,000) fine for anyone attacking directly "the right to work" or trying to "bring about or maintain a cessation of work" by means of "menace, false news, violence, obstruction or fraudulent maneuvers." The penalties would be doubled in instances where the offenders were carrying arms, invaded a home or operated in conjunction with others. The penalties also declared however that "there Last U. S.

Army torces in Italy had been delayed. The sailing had been scheduled for December 3. Maj. Gen. Lawrence C.

Jaynes, U. S. theater commander, was quoted by a spokesman as saying this would not "interfere with the American army getting out of Italy before the date set by the Italian peace treaty." That date is December 14. No reason was given for the delay. The army spokesman said he could add nothing to the information given him by telephone from army headquarters at Leghorn.

Efforts to reach General Jaynes or his aides direct were not successful. The ship's delay seems certain to raise questions whether the army such of it as is left is lingering because of leftist-Inspired violence which has plagued Italy. But Jaynes' statement, as issued through the spokesman, that the delay would not prevent the army from leaving before the treaty deadline, would mean that the troops are staying only eleven days longer than planned. Best estimates of the present army strength in Italy exclusive of those in the Trieste free territory run to approximately 1,000 officers and men.

KANSAS TRUMPS ARIZONA, 54-28 Cats Gain Moral Triumph; Enke Stars With 364 Total Yards By ABE CHANIN Bowl-bound Kansas, led by All-America prospect Ray Evans, out-scored a troublesome University of Arizona eleven, 54-28, in Varsity stadium last night to close its 1947 season with a clean slate. There was no stopping the varied Kansas offense, that will match strides with Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl New Year's day and the Jayhawks rolled to victory on the passing of Evans and the running of a bevy of backs. But for Arizona, going against a team rated the 13th best in the nation, there was a tinge of a moral victory.

The Wildcats scored 14 more points against Kansas than any other team has been able to do this season. Arizona's offense was paced, once more, by Freddy Enke. But last night Enke, looking as much an All-American on passing as Evans, turned in his finest performance of the season. 18 Oat of 25 Passes Enke, now riding third in the nation in total offense, made a great bid for that title last night by collecting 364 yards. He passed for 295 of those yards on 18 com pletions of 25 aerial attempts.

That's a sensational .720 comDle- tion percentage even more sensational when you remember the competition Enke threw against. tnrew speed and pitch-out plays Arizona's bugaboo all setfon at the Wildcats. The Jay-hawks went for two touchdowns in the first quarter. Evans romped 46 yards for the first and then set up the second on a 27-yard pass to End Otto Schnellbacher. Evans scored quickly early in the second period to boost the score to 21-0.

Then Enke went to work and put the Cats back in the ball game with a pair of touchdown passes. Evans passing set up another TD and Kansas went off the field with a 28-14 edge at half-time. The passing of Quarterback Bill Hogan, along with the work of Evans, paced a 26-point scoring at tack by the midwesterners in the second half. Held scoreless in the third period, Arizona scored twice in the fourth quarter the last TD with a minute left to play. For a holiday crowd of some 000 the game was a great offensive exhibition.

It was more like pro football than the usual tightly played collegiate game. On first downs Arizona and Kansas were even at 18 apiece.

(The premier was interviewed before the United Nations assembly in New York approved partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab countries by a vote of 33 to 13.

(While partition was under dis cussion in the assembly, the seven- nation Arab League met in Beirut, Lebanon, and on October 9 called, upon the states bordering Pales- tine to "take military precautions; on Palestine boundaries. These states are Lebanon, Syria, Trans- or dan and Egypt.) "We are serious and unjoking," the premier said. "The world will witness that we really mean to implement our resolution.

22. (By Airmail) (NANA) What are Gen. Douglas MacArthur's views on international affairs and American domestic prob lems? How do his personal traits shape him for possible presidential candidacy? Gen eral MacArthur believes that Japan is the key to the whole Far East. He realizes japan cannoi get on its feet without American help, and that the Orient cannot become economically stable without a self-sufficient Japan. He believes that a close relation ship between Japan and China as well as Japan and the Philippine: will benefit American trade.

The general sees Soviet policy in the Orient as exactly the opposite: American policy, as he envisages it, strives for economic stability; Rus sia wants economic chaos. Favors China Aid General MacArthur believes that the minute Japan is left to chaos, it is open to Communism, as China Is today. This line of thinking makes him an advocate of a policy of aid to China. In General Mac- Arthur's opinion, Washington is not giving enough attention to the Far East. He argues that you can't have a Marshall Plan for Europe and leave the Orient open to Communism.

The occupation forces in Japan receive only 65 per cent of their food allocation requirements, as against 90 per cent in Germany; and Japan is granted 39 per cent of its fund demands against 60 per cent for the Reich. The general has spent the last decade in the Pacific. He is better versed in Far Eastern than in European affairs. He knows how Eu rope impinges on Asia. On the domestic side, General MacArthur is known to favor strong and democratic unions with moderate leadership.

Labor leaders should be made responsible for their acts. He considers it dangerous for unions to combine the functions of trade unionism with political action. Workers should be politically active as individuals not as unions. Dignity of Labor The general believes in the dignity of labor; he looks to unions as instruments whereby workers may fight for the fundamental rights of man, for security and for a decent living. He is for increased output per worker so that labor can get higher wages and management greater returns.

Some of the new Japanese labor legislation passed under SCAP guid ance is more advanced than in the United States. Thus Japan now has an accident compensation law with better provisions than similar laws (Continued on Page 4A, Column 2) AFL AFFIDAVITS OUTNUMBER CIO But 30 Percent of Those Filed Contain Errors, Returned by NLRB WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. VP) Half of the national unions in the CIO. and two-thirds of the national unions in the AFL have filed non-Communist affidavits with the National Labor Relations Board.

That was announced by the board today. At the same time, General Counsel Robert N. Denham announced that nearly 30 per cent of the various affidavit forms submitted by unions to the NLRB were faulty in some way. They have been returned to the unions for correction. The Taft-Hartley act requires local and national unions, before they can seek' the protection of the NLRB, to do these things: Law's Requirements (1) File statements with the NLRB in which all their officers swear they aren't Communists; (2) file financial statements and other information with the labor department; (3) distribute the fi- nanciai statements to their membership.

Denham said the most common error was in connection with the third point. Unions must send forms to NLRB offices explaining their method of distributing the financial statements. Denham said many local unions have failed to distribute the infor mation properly. He said putting a copy on the bulletin board isn't enough, and that "unions must en deavor to distribute copies of the required data to all of their members." Can Use Newspaper There are several ways of doing this. For example, by using the union newspaper.

But the NLRB wants to know how if was done. And if the NLRB officials aren't satisfied that the law has been complied with, they send the form back to the union. Today's figures on the number of filings shows that as of last Tues day 125 national unions and 2,176 local unions have submitted non-Communist affidavits. Of the national unions, 70. are in the AFL (which has 105 unions in all) and 20 are- in the CIO (which has 41).

The other 35 are independent unions.

La Republica backed up its opinion by printing sample quotations from leading Italian politicians. Says Division Dangerous Nitti's "manifesto to the nation," written after weeks of private negotiation trying to find some area of agreement among bitterly contesting forces, declared "We are witnessing a continuous, and always more dangerous, process of division among the parties and among Italians." Citing strikes and disorders which have taken a toll of 24 lives in about two weeks, Nitti said "It is necessary to flee the specter of civil war." His solemn warning was drown ed out, however, by the headlines on an acrimonious debate in tne constituent assembly over yesterday's "umbrella insurrection" at Milan.

This has put Molotov in the iso lated position of opposing Immediate Big Four approval of French economic incorporation of the Saar, an important political issue France. Soviet's Objectives Most responsible western esti mates, however, do not credit the Soviets with serious hopes of a Communist victory in France. Ac- cording to these estimates, the pri- ixiary uujeuuve ui uicr ivuaaxauo ai London Is to build up a -powerful political appeal to the German people by claiming leadership In efforts to unify Germany, establish central government and write a German peace treaty at the earliest possible moment. These estimates, in so far as they may be correct, indicate a Russian line opposed to western insistence on a federalized Germany, and especially contrary to the basic French concern that Germany may emerge in the future a strong power.

At the same time the Soviet course presents a difficult problem the United States and Britain. For Marshall and Bevin have not only the problem of getting along with Bidault on policy matters but also the problem of maintaining British and American prestige in Germany. West's Countercharges In answering what they term Molotov's "propaganda" allegations the conference here, the Americans and British thus far have made two main countercharges. First, that while Molotov talks lot about a German peace treaty is not willing to take the practical measures necessary to make one possible. Second, that America and Britain are just as anxious as Russia to unify Germany and Intend to unify it to the fullest possible extent whether or not Rus goes along.

The Arabs said their proposal called for two states to be set up like those of the United States of America. But 11 was too late. The assembly scarcely discussed the Arab move before voting for partition. Jews Scoff Arab Plan The Jewsih Agency for Palestine, which has fought doggedly for partition of the Holy Land into Arab and Jewish countries, called the surprise Arab suggestion Just "words." It turned thumbs down on the whole Idea. The reaction of the United States and Soviet Russia, which teamed to take the principal share In whipping together the partition plan before the United Nations assembly, was cold toward the new Arab proposal.

The U. S. and Russian delegates pointed out that federalization already had been dropped In the assembly's 57-natioa special Pat estine committee. Herschel V. Johnson, U.

S. delegate, demanded that the assembly vote Immediately on the partition proposal. He rejected completely the new Arab move. 25-Honr Adjournment The proposal for a federalized Palestine was the Arab answer to leas of conciliation from several delegates which brought about a 25-hour adjournment of the assembly yesterday and averted a vote then on partition. The assembly convened at 4:26 (EST) and Camille Chamoun, of Lebanon, spoke first, outlining to closely listening delegates and to a packed assembly hall a scheme for creating an Independent gov ernment of Palestine on a federal basis.

Italian, Chinese Red Parties Largest Next To That of Russians' MOSCOW, Nov. 29. (JP) The magazine Party Life reported today that the Communist parties in Italy and China were the largest outside the Soviet Union. The thaA 2 TToeach o7 countries The strength of the French Com munists was placed at 1,000,000, compared with 340,000 before the war. The most rapid growth reported for any country was Ro maniafrom 1,000 in 1944 to in 1947.

The figures were contained in a report on party membership in Europe and Asia exclusive of the Soviet Union. All countries in what headquarters described as "the flight area" have been notified. These included France, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Belgium arid the four occupied zones of Germany. The missing transport had been engaged in a routine non-stop flight via Mar seille and Lyon, France. Such a flight normally takes about six hours.

Lt. Clyde Tiroux, chief controller of the American element of the Berlin air safety center, said Soviet planes searched the Russian zone of Germany during the day. At the same time Soviet authori ties granted American aircraft per mission to participate in the searcn over the Russian zone for 50 miles on either side of the Frankfurt- Berlin air corridor, to which non-Russian planes normally are re stricted. A message from the plane calling Frankfurt for landing instructions was picked up by Tempelhof airport in Berlin at 6:30 pan. (Ger man time) last night.

American authorities speculated on the basis of this report that the plane might have come down in the Frankfurt area. saootage against machinery.

The two points, it was said, are linked together as essential parts of the overall picture of the conflict between Russia and the western powers. British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin made it clear at last night's meeting of the foreign ministers that the aim of the western powers in the event of a Big Four failure to agree here on German unity is to take whatever meas ures are necessary to end what he called "chaos" in Europe, includ ing western Germany.

All meas ures to that end apparently would be based on the success of the Marshall plan. British, U. S. Agree British views of the internal situation in France evidently approximate those of the United States. Both the British and American views presumably are well known to, and may be shared by, Bidault himself.

The French foreign minister's relations with both Marshall and Bevin have grown constantly closer in the first week of the London conference. His attitude toward Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.

Police estimated that fully 50,000 persons took part Automobiles and motorcycles raced through Tel Avivs highways, with banners and placards flying. On every side groups danced the Horra (Jewish national dance). There was one tense moment Members of Irgun Zval Leumi, Jewish underground organization which has bitterly opposed partitioning, invaded a Tel Aviv newspaper and, brandishing guns, took over a public address system. They urged Jews to "claim all of Israel." A technician jammed the speaker system and later with help succeeded in evicting the intruders.

"Long live the Jewish state," they cried. "New Judea" apparently will be the name of the Jewish state, David Ben-Gurion, chairman of the Jewish Agency Executive, said in a statement "New.Juaea will take its dignified place among the United Nations as a factor for peace, prosperity and progress in the Holy Land, the Middle East and the entire world," he said.

Air Force C-47 transport plane with 21 persons aboard which has been missing since last night on a flight from Pisa, Italy, to Frankfurt. Air force headquarters at Wies- baden said the crewmen and pas sengers aboard the twin-engine transport included 17 enlisted men, three officers and a war depart ment civilian.

(U. S. militarv sources at Geneva said, "From all indications the missing C-47 is north of Switzer land." Military quarters at Paris recalled that bad down drafts in the Vosges have brought down planes there, but said no report of the plane's location had been re ceived from the difficult area.) Fog, rain and snow seriously hampered the search.
