Yalta Agreements Will Be Kept Grew Replies To Vandenberg By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, July 19-The State Department promised today to seek full publicity for the situation in Poland and reiterated that it stands for self-determination for the Polish people. Acting Secretary Josephi C. Grew stated the Department's position in response to a letter from Senator Vandenberg (R.-Mich.), who said that to him and to millions of other people, the Polish settlement seemed "inade- quate and unconvincing." "There still seems to be no clear assurance," Vandenberg wrote, "that the Polish people will themselves have the final opportunity of untrammeled Record Bom er Raid Hits Japan Halsey Carries Challenge To Tokyo Bay, Shells Mainland Japs Speculate Whether Action Is Prelude to Landing Invasion By The Associated Press GUAM, Friday, July 20-Bombarding guns of the U. S. Third Fleet carried Adm. William F. Halsey's battle challenge right to Tokyo Bay Thursday and the Japanese, still declining the challenge, worried over where the next blow would fall. A record force of more than 600 Marianas-based American Super- ,fortresses rained 4;000 tons of incendiary and demolition bombs on four Honshu Island cities and an oil refinery before dawn today. The cities were Choishi, Fukui, Okazaki and Hitachi, bringing to 46 the total number of industrial centers hit by B-29 fire raids. Hitachi, 80 miles north of Tokyo, was bombarded by battleships and supporting vessels of the fleet Tuesday night, in a shelling along the Honshu coast continuing into Wed-v Senate Votes To Support Bretton Woods Big Majority Passes World Banking lan By The Associated Press' WASHINGTON, July 19 -T h e Senate today voted its approval of the Bretton Woods plan to stabilize the postwar monies of the world and help finance reconstruction. The vote, 61 to 16, returned the measure to the house. Expected agreement there on minor technical amendments will give final congres- sional approval to the administra- tion-backed program intended to steady the economy of a world recov- ering from war. U. S. Share The plan puts the United States down for a $2,750,000,000 share of a proposed $8,800,000,000 fund to sta- bilize world currencies and a $3,175,- 000,000 capital subscription to a $9,- 100,000,000 bank to make loans for reconstruction and development. With administration forces in easy control of the final day's debate, the Senate rejected every attempt to alter the plan. It apparently took its cue from Majority Leader Barkley (D-Ky.) who argued an amendment to the agreement would kill the en- tire proposal and force the world in- to another monetary conference such as last year's Bretton Woods meeting of 44 nations which produced the in- ternational bank and fund proposal. Taft Leading Opponent Senator Taft (R-Ohio), leading opponent of the agreements, sought in vain to limit the use of the sta- bilizing fund and to eliminate entire- ly U. S. participation in the bank. His test amendment-denying any nation access to the world stabiliza- tion fund if it retains trading restric- tions on its own currency-was voted down after Barkley declared: "T)he effect of this amendment is to kill the entire agreement." From there on it was smooth sail- ing for the Bretton Woods support- ers.

EWT 4>self -determination under this new provisional government which is im- posed upon them by Britain, Russia and the United States, within Polish boundaries similarly dictated by these external powers." Close Watch Grew replied that the new Polish government was set up by the Poles themselves, but indicated the United States would seek to keep close watch to see that actually free elections car- ry out the rest of the Yalta agreement on Poland. "It is clear that the creation of the new government does not alone dis- charge us from the responsibilities we assumed at Yalta," Grew wrote. Questions and Repies The questions raised by Vanden- berg and the replies given by Grew follow, in brief: 1. Will the Poles themselves have "the final opportunity of untrammel- ed self-determination under this new provisional government imposed upon them by Britain, Russia and the Unit- ed States?", Reply: members of the Russian- sponsored Polish government "and other Polish democratic leaders from within Poland and from abroad" agreed on the new "government of national unity." Therefore, "the new government was not imposed upon the Polish people" by the Big Three. 2. Is American responsibility under the Yalta agreement "presumed to have been discharged by the crea- tion of this new provisional govern- ment?" Keep Governments Reply: No. The Yalta agreement provides that the Big Three ambas- sadors "shall keep their respective governments informed about the sit- uation in Poland." 3. "Will the United States be per- mitted to send full diplomatic and consular representatives into Pol- and?" Reply: The Polish government has asked for diplomatic relations and Ambassador Arthur Bliss Lane and aides "are making arrangements to proceed to Warsaw as soon as possi- ble."

There were 193 officers and men wounded in addition. The carrier damage was severe. A number of planes set on fire on decks had to be pushed overboard. The story of the Ticonderoga's bad day was related by the Navy today Shanghai Hit In Record Attack AAF Scores City in Okinawa-Based Planes MANILA, Friday, July 20-(UP)-' More than 200 Far East Air Force Bombers and Fighters from Okinawa delivered the war's heaviest air at- tack on Shanghai Tuesday, Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced to- day. The medium and heavy bombers of the Seventh Air Force spanned the East China Sea and dropped more than 200 tons of bombs on Kia- gwan at Shanghai. Their escorting fighters started fires at Tinghai Air - drome, damaged installations on a nearby island, and swept scuth for attacks on enemy shipping off Tish- an Island. Oneaplane was definitely lost on the raid and another was listed a-s missing. Simultaneously MacArthur an- nounced that other Fifth and Sev- enth Air Forces planes temporarily severed rail-communications be- tween the munitions and subm arine manufacturing center of Fagoshima and the rest of Kyushu, southern- most of the main Japanese islands. The attacks sealed off two vital rail tunnels northwest and southwest of the port city of 180,000 population. A third tunnel was damaged and the strafed, damaging railroad cars, harbor area of the city itself was trucks and coastal shipping. in an official story which told also of her rapid successes on her first tour against the Japanese. On that fateful January afternoon, a single-engined Japanese pLane crashed down through the flight deck with its suicidal pilot and its bomb load. It exploded in an area with aircraft being refueled and rearmed. The fire, fed by gasoline, spread fast. Firefighters and planehandlers shoved burning planes overboard. While men were fighting these damages, more suicide planes drew near, attracted by black smoke bil- lowing hundreds of feet into the sky. Three were shot down. Still another, although hit, crashed into the superstructure. His two bombs ripped holes in the flight deck and falling debris carried the fires further. Prompt action was needed, and it came, to keep many planes from being burned. Commodore (then Captain) Dixie Watkins to Tali.

He lay bleeding on the bridge but for 12 hours re- fused treatment. Only when he was assured all others had been cared for would he leave the bridge. Lt. Robert R. Hurst of Lynbrook, Long Island, signal and tactics of- ficer, told a typical story: "I can give the names of the men of - my division some of them dead, who helped to whip the fires and save their shipmates. "But mine was only one group of many, and somewhere in these rec- ords are the names of hundreds of men who performed like: heroes that day. "To me, it seemed that the whole crew, trained beforehand to face an emergency, reacted magnificently. Boys who had been 'boots' only a short time before showed that they had quickly become seasoned sailors." The Ticonderoga had to leave Japanese waters only temporarily. Back at the Bremerton, Wash., shipyards, civilian repairmen put her back in first-class fighting shape by laboring 155,000 man- days. Now the proud ship and her crew adding to a score which already in- cluded: The sinking of one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser, two destroyers, four destroyer escorts, four large oilers, five freighters or freighter-transports and 14 miscellaneous craft. CULTURES: eniston Talks On Languages Both practical and cultural reas- ons for the study of foreign languages were cited by Dr. Hayward Kenis- ton, dean of the College of Litera- ture, Science, and the Arts, in his discussion "Why Learn a Foreign Language?" before members of the Linguistic Institute yesterday at their weekly luncheon conference at the Michigan League. Among the practical reasons, Dean Keniston noted the probability that in the post-war period the United States wili have increasing commer- cial and diplomatic contacts with for- eign countries, Cultural Benefits Of more importance for the general college student, however, is Dean Keniston's opinion, are the cultural benefits, which he classified under the headings of a realization of how the speakers of another tongue might express ideas in a manner different from one's own, a greater insight into the manner in which one's own languages is constructed, and an in- creased knowledge of the culture of another people. Methods in Teaching Discussion 'following the talk cen- tered on methods to be followed in teaching languages most effectively. While there was difference as to the detail of organizing language courses members of the Institute were quite generally agreed that practice in speaking and hearing a language not only achieve desirable ends in them- selves but also increase the student's facility in understanding the written nesday. Tokyo Nervous Tokyo speculated nervously on whether the series of damaging at- tacks were "spasmodic" or preludes to a "quick" invasion. Fleet Adm. Chester W. itimitz' reg- ular communique this morning gave the Japanese no hint of the answer. It was limited to reporting harrassing and neutralizing air strikes by far western Pacific forces, which sank 11 small coastal cargo ships and dam- aged five others off Korea and Hon- s shu on Wednesday.r Bombardment Continued -t American cruisers and- destroyers, b which started shelling Nojima cape at the entrance to Tokyo Bay Wed- nesday at 11 p. m. continued thet bombardment into the early hours ofp Thursday.a This fourth bombardment of the Japanese mainland by American and British warships of the Third Fleet in six days followed by a few hours r the fleet's carrier aircraft raid on remnants of the Japanese Navy at Yokosuka naval base in Tokyo Bay. 55 Miles From Palace Both the bombardment and aerialz targets were within 55 miles of Em- peror Hirohito's palace in Tokyo. Nimitz' communique said one large explosion was observed in the target area.r Tokyo claimed the reason no planesc or ships have yet been sent against the third fleet, now the greatest at- tacking naval force of history, wasr that the Japanese command had found Halsey's challenge "not worth meeting."t Inference of all Tokyo broadcasts were that Japan was saving every bit of air and sea power she has left for the expected invasion battle. 'Male Animal' Offered Tonight Two Performances Scheduled Tomorrow c "The Male Animal" is being pre sented by the Michigan Repertor Players at 8:30 p. m. EWT (7:30 p. m CWT) today and tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. There will also be a matinee performance at 2:30 p. m. EWT (1:30 p. m. CWT) on Saturday.

Nol only does the professor have to fight the odd member of the triangle, but in the same week-end he is named by the college paper as a potential communist, and thus his position on the faculty is threatened. "The Male Animal" was pro- claimed by Burns Mantle as the fin- est comedy since "Life with Father." It has also been declared by some of the finest critics to be the best col- lege comedy of our time.

Lone Sub Meets Japanese Fleet SAIPAN, Marianas Islands, July 2, 1944-(M)-Roving the far western Pacific, an American submarine ran into one of the strangest naval adven- tures of the war when she encoun- ;ered the major part of the Japanese Imperial Fleet and torpedoed a large snemy carrier. Most of the enemy ships passed over her one night as she lay in the black depths and counted the whirr- ing of their screws. Before the adventure ended, enemy destroyers jarred her with depth charges, but the sub's lean black hull was unharmed, The story of the 48-hour experi- ence of the submarine was told here today by the subs young skipper, Lieut. Commander Herman J. Koss- ler, 32, of Los Angeles. Twice the submarine had a bead on a big Japanese carrier, but the first time she withheld her torpedoes because she wanted to keep her pres- ence a secret from the enemy, and relay information about the Japa- nese fleet to Fleet Headquarters.
