On Argentine Opinion Is Revealed To Latin Press Men WASHINGTON, June 1.-A gov- ernment official quoted President Truman as saying today he is not happy about the Argentine situation. Press dispatches told of censorship and other restricting measures a- gainst newspapers and arrests of many prominent persons in Argen- tina. President Sees 5 Latin-Americans President Truman during the day received five Latin-American jour- nalists who have been in the United States studying. An official, who cannot be identified by name, told newsmen later that the President made known his unhappiness about the situation. Other authorities, similarly anony- mous, took the position that the "current situation within Argentina is unsatisfactory." The view was ex- pressed that the South' American nation has not satisfactorily carried out her commitments under the Act of Chapultepec signed at Mexico City and pledging her to fuller Inter- American cooperation along demo- cratic lines. It was said that the Farrell regime has restored censorship, closed many Prominent papers or seized them froq)j-he mails, and made widespread arrests.. This -has -increased during the past month, it was learned. Internal Affairs Decisive Under Inter-American agreemenk no other American government can intervene as long as Argentina's in- ternal affairs are not deemed a men- ace to her neighbors. Just when they might be declared such would depend uponhconsultations and agreements reached by other American govern- ments, it was considered here. It was said that the dividing line between a purely internal Argentine affair and one which threatens the security of neighboring countries or the hemisphere would be a difficult matter to determine, o that any Inter-American action against the trend of affairs in Argentina is ex- pected to be slow in coming.

EWT in nese cities and, there is only one escape-surr-ender. This chill prospect was held out by the President in a special 8,000 word message to Congress. The communication was in the nature of a "where do we go from here" report. It called for: 1-A powerful surge of war produc- tion to smash home the Pacific punch. 2--A public awareness of the fero- city of the Pacific war, now that Japan's home areas have been breach- ed. To Hurl 3,500,000 Against Japs The President said that the U. S. alone, exclusive of Allied hplp, pro- poses to hurl against the Japanese more than the 3,500,000 air-ground men who crushed the Wehrmacht, knocked the Luftwaffe out of exist- ence and laid Germany waste. He called the continued resistance of the Japanese a hopeless, fanatical venture. It is based, the President said, on the Japanese idea that per- haps the Americans will grow tired and want peace more than complete victory. 'Should Know Better' "They should know better," Mr. Truman declared succinctly. "They should realize that this na- tion, now at the peak of its military strength, will not relax.. We have the men, the materiel, theskill, the lead- ership, the fortitude to achieve total victory-' Again the President said that "we have no desire to destroy or enslave the Japanese people." Jap Suicide Attacks Felt "But only surrender can prevent the kind of ruin which tl ey have seen come touGermany as a result of con- tinued, useless resistance," he said. The Japanese suicide attacks, how- ever are making themselves felt, the President acknowledged. Ship yards are badly in need of civilian labor- ersto repair the ship damages which are mounting. "The fleet suffers daily damage," Mr. Truman said. "To tell the num- ber would give information to the enemy but the number is substan- tial."

WMC Institute Ends After Five Day Discussion The War Manpower Commission's institute on selective placement of disabled veterans closed yesterday after five days of discussion and planning directed toward helping handicapped veterans find jobs in industry. K. Vernon Banta, institute chair- man, stated that the meeting had stressed the need for preparation for veteran placement by community forces, and coordination of services to prevent "competition and heedless overlapping", according to an Asso- ciated Press dispatch. He pointed out that "we are a greater problem to the disabled veteran than his own handicap." Miss Dorothy Bailey of the WMC Bureau of Placement discussed means of strengthening the placement pro- gram as a conclusion to the confer- ence. Representatives of 44 states and Canada were present at the confer- ence. By The Associated Press GUAM, Saturday, June 2-(/P)-Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr.'s 10th U. S. Army troops completed capture yesterday of the fortress city of Shuri, battered keystone of Nip- pon's smashed southern Okinawa de- fense line, and drove southward against diminishing resistance. Lines Straightened The central areas of the Ameri- can lines, which had bulged badly northward as four divisions virtually encircled Shuri while the Japanese held tight in that citadel, were straightened and shortened by the day's gains, Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz reported in today's com- 'munique. Strong elements on both flanks made new penetrations toward the south into enemy held ground. Pro- gress was so great that Nimitz re- ported "mopping up operations were in progress in newly captured areas behind the lines." Jap Resistance Collapsing Several hours earlier, Maj. Gen. John R. Hodge, commander of the 24th Army Corps, told Associated Press correspondent Al Dopking that only weather now could stop the Yanks. He said that to all outward appearances. organized Japanese re- sistance on Okinawa was on the verge of collapse. Detailing the ground action, which was supported strongly -by marine aircraft and heavy naval guns, Nimitz reported: The 6th Marine Division moved forward to occupy about 1,000 yards, of the north bank of the Kokuba riv- er. It met considerable resistance from Japanese in the vicinity of Kok- uba village, but forward elements crossed the river and penetrated1 southward. ll, Occupied> The First Marine Division captur- ed Shichina hill masses after an, advance of about 2,000 yards, which gave them positions overlooking the Naha-Honabaru highway crossing the island from east to west. In the central sectors, the 24th Army Corps reorganized its infan- try forces and mopped up remnants of the Shur fortress garrison. hE .Launching a powerful attack on the east, the 7th Infantry Division ad- vanced 400 to 1,000 yardsI ~ ~ SUB SAGA: ' Salmon and Wahoo Exploits United States To Act As Mediator To Settle French-Syrian Dispute; Yanks Take New City on Okinawa UOKINA WA (tZs$_ Chatan _ - -- ±Toguchl = Iv'- ./tsa r MACHINATO 'Month'omwn AIRFIELD - io MARINE' oouQ~ NAHA / YMY BA A" AIRFIELD KAKIBANA 'SHURI fYONABARU V onawa.

French Obey British Order To Stop Firing Hundreds Lose Lives In Bitter Controversy By The Associated Press LONDON, June 1-(RP)-A "cease fire" order by French commanders brought at least temporary peace to troubled Syria today as the United States agreed to act as mediator in the dispute which had cost at least 400 lives .in Damascus alone and had threatened to plunge the Arab world into revolt. British To Maintain Order All was reported quiet in Syria aft- er days of fighting. British forces formally assumed responsibility for the maintenance of order, and French commanders agreed to take orders from the British commander in the middle east, Gen. Sir Bernard C. Paget. A British Foreign Office spokes- man emphasized that the original intervention of Britain and the United States in the dispute was aimed at protecting a vital Allied supply line for the war against Japan and in guaranteeing the independence of Syria and Lebanon. French Troops Not Withdrawn While France, faced with a virtual ultimatum, consented to stop firing on the Syrians, General De Gaulle refused to go all the way in meeting Prime Minister Churchill's demand of yesterday that French troops be withdrawn to their barracks. "French troops will remain in their positions," a communique is- sued by De Gaulle's government said flatly. Reply to American Note It was learned authoritatively in Paris that the French had replied to the American note of last Monday on Syria and had told Washington that France still wished to deal with the Levant country without outside interference. * * * Russia Demands Settlement of Syrian crisis LONDON, June 1--W)-The Soviet Government tonight informed France, Britain, the United States and China that Russia "considers that speedy measures to stop the military opera- tions in Syria and Lebanon must be taken, and the conflict which has arisen must be settled in a peaceful manner." The Moscow radio, announcing the sending of the note, said it was ad- dressed to the French, and to Britain, the United States and China because to thlem "belongs the initiative in the creation of a postwar organization for peace and international security." Citing the fact that France, Syria and Lebanon are members of the United Nations participating in the San Francisco Conference, the note said: "Events in Syria and Lebanon do not correspond to the spirit of the decisions adopted at Dumbarton Oaks, or to the aims of the United Nations Conference taking place in San Francisco, for the creation of an organization to insure peace and security." Education Study To Begin Here 'Army, Navy Methods Are Subject of Inquiry Prof. Raleigh Schorling of the School of Education will be in charge of a four-week field study to be made by 25 Michigan educators con- cerning Army and Navy education methods, Dean J. B. Edmonson of the School of Education announced yes- terday. This study will determine which teaching methods used by the Army and Navy could be used to advantage in public schools.

Davisson Now Revealed WASHINGTON, June 1.-(IP)-The Navy said today that U.S. submarines have established such mastery over Japanese shipping that they need no longer be a wholly silent service. In line with the relaxation of se- crecy rules, announced by Secretary Forrestal, the Navy cleared for pub- lication the story of the Wahoo which sank a whole Japanese convoy. Tlh sea service itself related the saga of the Salmon which whipped, on the surface, the escort of another convoy. The announcement of the Sal- mon was coupled with a report on recent submarine activity showing 14 more Japanese ships, including a destroyer and four other comba- tant vessels, sunk. That list brought the total of Japanese ships sunk by submarines to 1,142 and boosted enemy losses of merchant ships past the 1,000 mark, to 1,006. } The Wahoo spotted a convoy of four large Japanese ships steaming toward New Britain, loaded with men and munitions. With torpedoes, she sent every vessel to the bottom. The Salmon's exploit started when she and another submarine closed in on an escorted tanker. Before the Salmon reached firing position a sister submarine torpedoed the tank- er but didn't sink it.
