2 OJfrg OfelifantUm U.S. Rebuffs Red Demand WASHINGTON 1 Another heated exchange between the tlnitec States and Russia called attention today to mounting Soviet interest in the occupation of Japan. The latest tiff was climaxed lasl night when the state department curtly informed the Soviet ambassador that discussions held in Tokyo by American military commanders "are purely routine matters of sole concern to this government."

MacArthur and other American officers October 12-14.

His demand was made public following its presentation to a weekly meeting of the 11-nation Far Eastern commission. Reliable informants said Panyush- kin's inquiry highlighted recent signs of increasing tension between the two governments over Allied occupation policies in Japan. Other problems revolve around MacArthur's labor policies, and Soviet proposals for Allied control over Japanese Panyushkin asked the American representative on the Far Eastern commission.

They have created a modern, efficient democracy out of a barren desert For the second time in a week, the President ignored the so-called Bernadotte plan, backed by Secretary Marshall, which proposed to cut off the big southern section of the Negev from the new Jewish state.

Mr. Truman's Madison Square appearance capped a late afternoon and evening whirl through New York which saw him greeted by an estimated 2.000,000 persons in one of New York's biggest political turnouts.

P.s Will Arrive Saturday By JAMES MARLOW UPt Tomorrow 813 displaced persons are due to arrive in this country by ship from Europe. They are the first of 205,000 D. P.E who, Congress said last summer, can come here by mid-1950. Even if all 205,000 manage to get In, they're still less than one-third of the 750,000 D. P.s in Europe now.

Since you'll be reading about D. P.s for quite a while, this will Swing you up to date on the problem. Start from the beginning. World War II is, drove out 8,000,000 persons in Europe. With the help of the Allied armies and other agencies all but 1,000,000 soon ot home.

.7 Million Got Home Those 7,000,000 who got home were mostly from western Europe: France, Holland and Belgium. The remaining 1,000,000 were mostly people from eastern Europe, among them many Jews. They had no homes to return to or they refused to go home because of their fear of religious or political persecution. But of that 3,000,000, about were settled somewhere, be- ween 1945 and the summer of 1948: England, France, Belgium, way, Australia, Latin America or the United States. (Up to last summer the U.

S. had let, 40,000 in here. That will be explained later in this story.) 6 Million Jews Killed But after those 250,000 were settled, there still 750,000 D. P.s under American, British and French care in Europe. But who are they? The majority came from the Baltic states- Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia, now in Russia's hands; or from Poland, or the Ukraine, or Yugoslavia.

The rest, about 22 per cent of the 750,000, are Jews. They were the remnants of the Jews who were in Germany and Austria before the war; or they fled into Germany and Austria after the war. For example: Many fled from Poland when the Poles started slaughtering Jews after the war. (In prewar Europe, there were 7,500,000 Jews. By the war's end all but had been wiped out, although only 165,000 are D.

P.s.) Most Have Home By religion, the 750,000 D. P.s are Divided this way: 64 per cent Catholic; 22 per cent Jewish, and 14 per cent Protestant. Tp get in here, each D. P. must he checked.

He must have a guaran- tee of home and job -when he gets here; and he must be able to comply with the regular immigration laws, meaning he must be healthy, able to read and so on. Of the 813 due tomorrow, or 19 per Jews. But Ugo Carusi, chairman of the U. S. D.

P. commission set up under the new law, says: The way the law is written, It has the effect of keeping out "virtually all the Jewish displaced persons." Why? Carusi says most Jewish D. P.s got into Germany, Austria and instance, from in 1946 and 1947. The law says a D. P.

can't come here unless he was in Germany, Austria or Italy before December 22, 1945. Therefore, Carusi says, most of the Jewish D. P.s can't qualify.

Traffic Toll Behind 1947 National Safety Council reported today that the nation is still clinging to a narrow reduction in traffic deaths for the year despite a four per cent increase last month.

The council said the increase for the second month to show an upward the nine-month toll to three per cent less than the figure for the corresponding period in 1947. Total traffic deaths for this year reached 22,430 through September 30, as compared to 23,010 in the first nine months of 1947. However, Council President Ned H. Dearborn warned: "The September toll (of 3040 fa- taities) should be a red warning flag for motorists and pedestrians. They are now entering the most dangerous period of the year, when earlier darkness and bad weather multiply driving and walking hazards." Dearborn declared that "there is still work to be done if we are to hold the traffic year's 32,300." toll below last WARREN DECLARES UNITY IS ISSUE IN Continued From Pase 1 cord and dissension in the administration.

During the past three years there has been a parade of men in and out of the administration. There have been some 25 secretaries in the various agencies. The Wallaceites have split to the left, and the Dixiecrats bolted the party because the Democrats could not agree on civil rights. "The Republicans faced the same problems in their national convention, but we have unity, and reached unanimous agreement Leadership Pledged "The Republicans, under Tom Dewey, will provide the leadership to unify the people. "In all the years he has been in public life, everything Tom Dewey has done has turned out successfully.

He proved that it is possible to have both an efficient and a humane government at the same time. "I know that when he goes to Washington he will have a team around him that can do a good job. But," the governor continued, "he must have more than a good team. He must have a Republican congress." State Farm Employment Shows Increase SACRAMENTO For the first time since 1942 more people have been working on California's farms in October than in September. The harvest labor peak for the past week exceeded that for the period ending September IS, it was reported today by Edward F.

Hayes, farm placement chief of the state employment department. He attributed the new high to the later harvest of San Joaquin valley cotton. Some 75,000 pickers are working in those fields. Late development of other crops, as well as heavy production, were also acknowledged. Hayes said 15,000 more cotton pickers are with some camp space available.

Employment on farms will remain high, said Hayes, until frosts or rains arrive to curtail tomato picking which is now occupying nearly 30,000. Southern California workers are Forecaster of 1929 Crash Predicts New Depression By JOSEPH LEVINE WELLESLEY, Mass. OLE) Nineteen years ago today, October 29, 1929, the stock market crashed. It was "black Tuesday." The glass-domed tickers ran hours be- ind transactions in Wall Street jrokerage offices in New York. In he ensuing days of panic and con- usion, men who had been million- ires a.

week before became paupers. Filling station attendants, book- lepers, housewives, all "experts" the stock market, saw their mall investments wiped out over- light. One of the few men who foresaw he market break was Economist Roger Babson. He predicted in September, 1929, that the crash was coming. Today, Babson took a gloomy look at the world and predicted that another depression and probably another war are on the way.

However, they won't arrive this year or next, the 73-year-old former Prohibition party presidential candidate said in an interview. "Depression's inevitable," said Babson. "War it surely will come unless the nations can develop a world government with authority to regulate crach things as tariffs and immigration." From his viewpoint, he Indicated, Europe looks beyond any permanent recovery. He suggested the United States concentrate Its efforts on the relatively undeveloped sections of the world. Babson bad no doubts about what is in the economic offing.

"Depression," he predicted, indicating a huge chart of the nation's business activity which he spent 48 years and $150,000 preparing. "It's he explained, quoting Sir Isaac Newton's physical principle of "action and reaction." "What goes up abnormally must come down," said Babson. "Depression follows excessive it's a fundamental of nature." He said the present level of prosperity is due to last at least through 1949, largely as result of the pent-up wartime demand for consumers' goods and the inflationary effects of European relief spending. It's still too early to prfedict exactly when current prosperity will crumble into depression, he said. Babson said he's preparing for war because he doesn't think such an international organization can be created until the world's businessmen "stop worrying about profits, the working men about wages, and the politicians about votes." "In other words," he said, "a spiritual awakening is the only solution to the problem." Convinced that nearby Boston would be a primary target in World War III, Babson is preparing atomic bomb havens at remote Eureka, and New Boston, N.

H. He said he isn't pessimistic about war. He figures It's coming but doesn't think it will end civilization or even stop the economic development of the United States. "Even if they explode atomic bombs in the 12 biggest cities and kill 15,000,000 still leaves us with more than 140,000,000 people and our important resources," he said. Babson said he approves of the European Recovery Program on humanitarian principles, but doesn't think it will be much use.

moving from the Valencia orange groves into lemon acreages to begin harvesting the new crop, he said. The walnut harvest is past the halfway point and will be completed by mid-November. Other information: Unseasonable rains In the Imperial valley may quicken the maturity of some winter crops and bring an earlier demand for harvest labor. Help is now needed for weeding. The north coast wine grape harvest is at Its peak with 8000 pickers in the vineyards.

Pickers are needed in the Walnut Creek area where the walnut harvest is in its peak. Prune picking is almost completed. Almond, prune and alfalfa harvesting will end in the Sacramento valley by November 1. The tomato harvesting, centering in Yolo, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, is past the peak but workers are still needed to hurry the operation before unfavorable weather. Additional workers are needed In Sacramento and Yolo county sugar beet fields.

Skilled rice combine and tractor men are needed in Butte, Glenn and Yolo counties. Hayes urged interested persons to apply for farm work through local employment department offices.
