These developments marked the further march of reconversion, in i business and government: 1. OPA told retailers -finally and wartime increases in manufacturing costs are not to be passed on to the public in the form of higher prices for new washers, refrigerators and similar long-awaited products. 2. To speed the sale of vast war i surpluses, President Truman sipn- i ed a bill creating a single administrator of the surplus property i board.

More Oils and Soap Will Be Available WASHINGTON, sept. More oils nntl sonp Will be avnil- I able to civilians in the last quarter of 1945, but sugar supplies will be shorter for the next six months.

Mo. was being formed into special "Carrier Division 24" to carry back home the victorious draftee army General MacArthur. Brig. Gen. Elliot Thorpe, chief of American counter intelligence, said I lie new list of Japanese wanted for questioning will be much larger than the original one of 47 which began with Hideki Tojo and ranged down through his cabinet.

But but tsvo men of that in- lamous Japanese cabinet which started the war were on the first list and General Thorpe said their onimission "was a clerical error." The next list is expected to bulge svith names of Japanese wanted for interrogation concerning the tortures oif Allied prisoners in Nipponese camps, where mistreatment was heaped alike on generals and privates in the ranks. A'Jps to "Apt'log-ize" Tokyo newspapers today said Premier Higashi-Kuni will send an "envoy of apology" to China because of war crimes committed against that republic. There was no elaboration. The gladsome task of demobilization, in which interest was heightened by General Mac-Arthur's estimate that 200,000 regular army men can handle the occupation, will be carried out in part by at least 26 carriers. At Pearl Harbor, the Navy announced the Saratoga, 25 escort carriers and a seaplane tender, capable of taking 20,000 or more service men home monthly, will operate for that purpose under Rear Adm.

Henry Kendall. If that means a clcmobolizalion program so vast, that mainland railroads cnn't handle the task, the task force will oven pack some of the men through the Panama Canal all the way to east coast ports. And, said Admiral Kendall, he'll gel more ships if thev are needed. Even so, the admiral estimated a year would be required to finish the work.

12H 200,000. "The Army's plans call for the return to their homes of more than 2,000,000 soldiers between V-J Day and Christmas, 1945," the president's statement said. "Between now and Christmas the discharge rate will steadily raise from tlio present daily figure of 15,200 to not less than 22,000 per day and by January, 1946, to more than 25,000 per day. Meanwhile Press Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters they would have to put their own interpretation on President Truman's news conference remarks yesterday on Mac-Arthur's occupation force statement.

The president had observed that MacArthur reduced his preliminary estimates and commented that he was pleased to know that MacArthur thought he could get along with fewer men. A reporter told Hoss that some of those who attended I lie conference interpreted the president's remarks as being sarcastic and that others thought he was supporting Mac-Arthur's estimate. Hoss said Hint it was up to the reporters to do their interpreting. The president said he wanted to make one thing clear that the speed of demobilization is not governed "by our future needs for occupation and other forces." The services, he added, are carrying on demobilization as rapidly 'as they can and "we shall not really face the problem of the size or makeup of the occupation forces until next spring." By that time, he said, "we ought to know how many men we shall need for occupation and to what extent that nrad run be met through volunteers." Congressional leaders suspected today that General MacArthur has tossed a political bomb in their direction. The general's announcement in Tokyo that perhaps 200,000 soldiers would be enough to police Japan increased pressure here for: 1.

Speedy reiea.se of millions from the armed services and 2. A quick end in the draft. Critics of the War and Navy department's present demobilization plans were gleeful. Republicans contended privately that the supreme allied commander's announcement had put the armed services directly on the spot. Senator Bridges (R-NHl told a reporter the MarArlhur statement would force the War Department to "revi.si- its entire program." A democratic senator.

Kdwin Johnson (Colo) agreed that this "is bound tn make them turn ihe soldiers out much faster." It became increasingly clear that MacArthur made his announcement without consulting either the White House, the War or Stale departments. While President Tfuman told, news conference yestet-dfty thftf wns Imppy nhout. MncAi-lhfl statement, the chief executive i closed thnl ho hnd no ndvnnce formation from the general. The War Doparlmenf, (t Stale Department, got iis first formation by reading the papers. And both had evident! concern over what they read.

I The Stole Department worHi lest the announcement create impression abroad that the Ofilll States intended lo withdraw frl 1 the Pacific nt an early date, ing the Japanese to run their show. From the War Department vie" polnl, it. was plain Hint thur's ideas nhout nrmy strong 1 might produce complications throe fields: 1. The of the postwar nils, tnry force. 2.

The necessity for univet-ej military service, nnd 3. The ctii-renlly hot question Mr. Truman said I hat the f'-' lective Service System will end soon as possible. Congress took one step in (Hi! direction yesterday when the hou unanimously passed a new pontS time recruitment measure, offering new inducements to arri and navy volunteers, the is lo attain postwar by voluntary means. The measure now COCK to senate.
