(JP) The Battle of Los' Angeles was a myth; the Japanese did not send planes over that city the night of Feb.

24-25, 1942, a Japanese navy spokesman told the Associated Press today. The question was put because the 4th Air Force at San Fran- cisco on Oct. 28 said that planes, possibly Japanese, were overhead that night. Lt. Gen.

Los Angeles Welcomes Chile's President Rios Reports Reich Unrest Dangerous as Problems Commander Asserts FRANKFURT (Germany) Oct. 31. UP) Gen. Eisenhow er told Washington in a grave report today that there is dan gerous unrest in Germany, "just one step" from organ ized resistance. Some U.S.

troops have been attacked by youths and re turned German soldiers, he said. He also reported that "no real progress" has been made toward seating up central administrative machinery for Germany and that a "disappointingly" small number of problems has been settled by the Allied Control Council because of failure to obtain unanimous agreement. Populace Bitter Other developments men tioned in his third monthly re port: The problem of handling thousands of displaced persons continues serious. "Cases of murder and organized looting occurred at an unpleasant rate," and the German populace has become increasingly bitter as a result of the increased lawlessness. The food and fuel situation Is growing worse as winter approaches.

"There will be practically no coal for German civilians," and extensive plans are now being made for mass feeding of Germans in the American zone. Lfhiited Response The failure of the German masses to respond to free po litical movements Is retarding any program to restore self- government. Political move ments, he said, have been lim ited to a few leaders rather ihan the masses, and. only the Communists and Social Demo crats have shown much life in the American zone. "It is apparent that a riod of political organization and political education will be neces sary before the German people can safely be intrusted with complete control of their gov ernment." President Truman announced in Washington that he had June 1 as a goal for transferring the German government from military to civilian hands.

The move was recommended by Eisenhower in agreement with the other three occupying powers. Military occupation, as distinguished from military gov ernment, will continue as long as necessary, it was announced Eisenhower said groups of idle Torn to Page 7, Column 2 G.ls Get Rate on Radiophotos WASHINGTON, Oct 31.

Except for occasional applauding cf arrivals by those who had already received their work cards there were no dem cnstrations. The committee, which was ap pointed to go into the reasons for mob violence, learned quite accidentally yesterday through one of its members something of the circumstances surrounding the entrance of youths, carrying placards proclaiming themselves U.C.L-A..

According to information in the hands of the committee, the students were not part of the legal picket line, but were used in what the committee was told was a wholly illegal action by strikers and their sjTnpathizers.

At the same time, President Truman announced a plan worked out with Gen. Eisenhow er under which. military admin istration of Germany will be transferred to Allied civilian au thorities not later than next June 1. This does not mean that Hirohito to Report to Ancestors on Peace TOKYO, Nov. 1.

(Emperor Hirohito will visit the grand phrine at Ise in mid-November to report the end of the war to the sun goddess and other ancestors. An imperial household group left yesterday to prepare for the visit. Army occupation of Germany will end. Troops will be mam tained to enforce laws and poll cies. Gen.

MacArthur's headquar ters in Tokyo disclosed that Hirohito has a personal fortune of $106,041,000 in gilt-edged se curities, real estate holdings larger than the State of Connec ticut, more than $1,000,000 in cash, and added millions in art treasures, jewels, gold and sil ver bullion.

Armistice Day Set Over to Nov. 12 SACRAMENTO, Oct. 31. () Armistice Day will be observed as a legal holiday in California on Nov. 12, without any proclamation by the Governor, his office said today.

The State law 'provides that when a holiday fails on Sunday, as does Nov. 11 thi3 year, the ensuing Monday is a legal holiday. WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (IIP) Congress roared strong words back at President Tru man today for the Chief Ex ecutive's attack on the legis lators in his wages-price policy speech Tuesday night. Observers agreed that the first major fight between the White House and the Capito! is on.

From the committee room and House floor came charges that the President had been "un fair" in blaming two House com' mittees for "damaging delays with legislation to provide jobs for all and jobless pay benefits, There also was criticism of the speech itself. Most of this was partisan, but some Democrats joined in defending the House Executive Expenditures and the Ways and Means committees Conciliatory Note The only slightly conciliatory note came from the President's press conference in which he said he hopes that Congress will not recess -until it has finished his requested legislation. Secretary of Treasury Vinson took cognizance of the fact that "chasm exists between the Executive arid Congress' during his testimony before the Execu tive Expenditures Committee whose members were smarting over the Presidential spanKing for not reporting out a full em ployment bill. The committee continued its hearings today with Vinson as serting that jobs for all is "the basic framework on which large share of our efforts to solve the problem of full pro duction and full employment must rest. Accusation Held Not Fair Chairman Carter Manasco (D.) of the committee on ex penditures in the executive de partment, told today hearings that "we don't think the accu sation that we have been dila tory is fair." He said the committee had already reported out a govern ment reorganization bill and one creating a single surplus prop erty administrator, both Presidential requests.

He said that although the committee wanted to hear key government officials earlier, Vinson couldn't appear until today and Secretary of La bor Schwellenbach will be un able to testify before next week. The same sort of talk came from the House floor amid accusations bv Republican leaders that Mr. Truman is heading a cracker-barrel administration. Rep. Clare E.

Hoffman (R.) a member of Manasco's committee, said: "If the Presi dent wants to play ball with the labor unions and obtain higher wages for political reasons, Turn to Paee 5, Column 3 Truman Queried on Second Term WASHINGTON, Oct 31. (JP) President Truman said today he has given no thought to a pos sible campaign for a second term. Asked at a news conference whether he will run again, Mr. Truman replied he did not have to testify against himself at this time. His response brought laughter from reporters.

The President, more serious, said that the matter of a possible second term had not entered his thoughts he had been too busy on other things. COUNTY VOTE TOPS HAT OF 39 STATES More votes were cast in Los Angeles County in the last Presidential election than in any one of 39 States of the Union, according to a report from Michael J. Donoghue, County Registrar of Voters, on file yesterday with the Board of Supervisors. Only in Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania did the total vote exceed that cast in Los Angeles County. The total county registration for the election was 1,785,395, or 43.11 per cent of the State's total, the Registrar asserted.

Chile and California, the far- distant neighbors, were brought closer together yesterday. Juan Antonio Rios, President of Chile, visited Los Angeles for a day and in that' day captured the city with his charm and good sense. He made it clear that Chile, a democracy in the fullest sense, is eager to increase economic and social ties with this country. Chile and California are alike many ways: each is a long, narrow land backed by the sier ra and facing the Pacific. Each is populated with frank, friendly and progressive folks.

They have an almost identical climate each loudly proclaims it. Left of Center Rios is a tall man with gray ing hair. Of Spanish blood, he comes of a gentleman farmer familj'. He is a lawyer. His party is the Radical a little left of center.

Sent to Scare U.S. Capt. Omae of the Japanese' navy said, however, that a plane -was launched from a submarine and sent over the Southern Oregon coast on Feb. 9, 1942, "to attack military installations, but the lone pilot was unable to discover any.

Another purpose was to keep Americans worried over coastal attacks and force them to keep many planes at home. This would cut down the air strength America could send overseas." Omae said the reason the Ore-, gon coast was selected was not indicated in navy files. The submarine which shelled Ft. Stevens, Oregon, near tha mouth, of the Columbia River, approached its objective by remaining submerged during the day and surfacing late at night. Had Set Plans Omae said the submarine commander had a full set of plans of Ft.

Stevens and his objective was to destroy the military installations. The submarine which shelled the Goleta oil field near Santa Barbara, early in 1942 also sought military installations and to nail down American forces in the United States. That attack also was made so the Japanese people could be told that one of their submarines easily reached the United States coast. "When the submarine commander failed to find military installations he shelled oil prop erty," Omae said. G.I.

PASSES Patricia O'Boyle of Monrovia, who underwent 195 transfusions, died at hospital of peritonitis. Death Takes Gir Who Had 195 Transfusions MONROVIA, Oct. 31.

Death finally claimed little Patricia O'Boyle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. O'Boyle of 236 W. Scenic Drive, last night when the 12 -year -old girl whose strange malady made her the object cf study by medical specialists and who had under gone 19o blood transfusions, died at Children Hospital, Los An- geles.

Lived on Borrowed Blood Death was caused by acute pri- mary peritonitis. Dr. M. Fallon, who attended her, said 'death re sulted from an infection and was not caused by the anemia that made it necessary for her to have the blood transfusions. Physicians expressed a belief her life might have been pro longed for several j'ears were it not for the peritonitis.

Patricia, since she was a baby back in 1933, literally lived on borrowed blood. During the first year of her life she made nationwide medical news because of the strange fact that her system failed to manufacture the necessary red blood corpuscles, and in those first short months alone she was subjected to transfu sions no fewer than 19 times. Every four or five weeks she needed the precious injections. Happy Childhood At birth she weighed six and a half pounds. In process of growing up shs was subject to none of the customary childhood ail ments and spent a happy child hood attending Mayflower School here and later the Catholic pa rochial school in which she was enrolled in the sixth grade at the time of her death.

F. Mentz, Navy, were American uniforms. Ambassador In Tarty Chilean Ambassador Marcial Mora and Benjamin Claro Ve-lasco, who has the rank of Am bassador, were in the party. They went directly to City Hall, where the" police band struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the Chilean nation al anthem. The Chilean flag was raised and President Rios said this affected him more than anything on his trip.

When the party arrived at the Ambassador, where they spent the night before proceeding by plane to Mexico City, President Rios was met by a group of pretty Latin-American girls, repre sentingthe Spanish-speaking col ony here. He was presented with a big bouquet by Senonta Olga Sanjuan of Puerto Rico. "Mutual knowledge is frre first thing to be done if Chile and California are to have the rela tions they hould in the future," President Rios told newspapermen. Serious, Orderly People' "We must know one another. We want j-ou to know that the Chileans are a serious, orderly people; that we have the spirit of work; that we have a devel oped democracy."

Back to his 61d school at Harrow for a songf est with the boys, Britain's wartime Prime Minister said: "As a youth I aspired to play the kettledrum, but I was not musically gifted.
