By FRANK TRHMAINE (United Press Staff Correspondent) Tokyo, Oct. 6. Baron Kijuro Shidehara, 73 year oM liberal, was named premier of Japan today and in an exclusive Interview pledged unstinted cooperation with Allied occupation authorities. Emperor Hirohlto called Shidehara, a former ambassador to Washington, out of retirement to succeed resigned former Premier Prince Naruhlko Hlgashl Kunl. Shidehara gave up the Japanese Foreign Ministry 14 years ago in protest against Japan's seizure of Manchuria.

Shidehara told Miles W. Vaughn, United Press Far Eastern manager, in an interview that he would cooperate whole heartedly with Gen. Douglas MacArthur and all other Allied occupation authorities. He outlined a program of work, sobriety and patience which he' said his government would follow in an attempt to extricate Japan from her present difficulties and Jap soldiers mustered out of the Army take a good, long look at pictures of their premier signing the surrender documents aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.

SHACKFORD (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Oct I. The United States and Soviet Russia today engaged a bitter long distance debate over which nation was respon sible for the failure of the London foreign ministers conference. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes blamed Russia. Soviet Foreign Commissar V.

M. Molotov blamed aH the other big powers. The Soviet government newspaper Isvestla placed reepon eibillty directly on Byrnes. Byrnes gave hia side of the story last night in a radio (CBS) review of the ill fated 22 day conference. He implied that Russia wanted 'a few presently powerful states' to make the peace.

The only way the conference could have continued, Byrne said, Would have been for Britain and the United States to "yield their views and convictions" to the Russians. Neither was willing to do so and the conference adjourned without even a formal record of its proceedings, Byrnes sadd. The reason, he explained, was that "the United States Is willing to dictate terms of peace to an en emy but is not willing to dictate terms of peace to its allies." "We are willing to make concessions," he declared, Tmt the United States does not believe In agreement at any price." Byrnes outlined toe achievements toward an Italian peace treaty and toward treaties with Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. But he did not mention the fact that what he called "agreements" in these instances were not signed, and that most of them had already "leaked" out of the supposedly secret conference. Byrnes revealed Soviet disappointment with the failure of Britain and America to recognise the present government) of Bulgaria and Romania.

The Anglo American view is that they are not representative of their peoples. Byrne said tha Soviets apparently think that objection to those governments is because of their friendliness to Russia "and that our unwillingness to' recognize these governments is a manifestation of unfriendliness to the Soviet Union. "There could no greater mis oonoeption of our attitude," he said, explaining that it Is America' policy to seek the establishment of governments "responsible to the will of the people" and that is why the U. S. Is unwilling to recognize the two governments.

Byrnes differed with statements made bv Molotov in London re garding the U. 8. proposal that a general peace conference be called before the end of the year to con sider the various peace treaties. The U. S.

proposed that not only the Big Five but an European members of the United Nations and non European members which sup plied substantial military forces be Included In such a conference. Molotov told a press conference he favored a general peace conference only after the big powers had agreed on the treaties to be sub mitted because that was the way it was provided in the Potsdam agreement. Thus, hs added, he would not present Byrnes' compromise plan for such a conference to Generalissimo Josef Stalin because the Soviet answer already had been given. Byrnes declared last night, however, that the Soviet delegation had said In London it could not agree to the American proposal for peace conference "until they had returned to Moscow and had per sonal consultations with their gov eminent."
