American Policy
In Japan Draws
Sharp Criticism
(ftu Awonated Fre»»)
Washington, March 17.—Philip
pines Ambassador Carlos Romulo
hus hroughl serious charges
against American policy in Asia.
Romulo told the 11-nation Far
Eastern Commission today that
American delay and irresolution
has stopped removal of repara-
tions from Japan. He declared
the uncertainty i- leading toward
chaos in Asia. Further, Romulo
charged that American i.deeision
has prevented action hy the Far
Eastern Commission itself.
As: illustration, the ambassador
told the Commission that the
transfer of airplane plants out
of Japan has been held up while
the Cnited States tries to make
up its mind on Japan’s future sta-
tus. And Romulo urged a quick
decision on three basic problems,
j These are reparations, Japan’s
future industrial level, and Jap-
ut | an’s relations with other nations.
The Philippines has filed a war
damage claim of more than five
billion dollars against Japan. Ro-
mulu said that up through lb IS.

Rome, March 17, —r Soviet
troops and anti-Tito Yugoslav
forces are said to be gathering on
the frontiers of Yugoslavia, The
report comes from an Italian news
agency. The Cominform radio is
described as glamoring for direct
action to bring down the regime
of Marshall Tito, and the people
of Yugoslavia believe important
events are taking place. Tito has
been in hot water with the Soviet
Union and its cominform stallites
who accuse him of straying from
the party’ line. Tito contends his
trouble stems from his refusal to
give blind obedience to the Krem-
lin.

tfto Associated Preset
Washington, March 17,—-An air
force general has urged quick ac-
tion by the Senate on a bill to
set up a radar picket-fence to
warn of sneak air attacks. The
measure has been passed by the
House, and it is being considered
by the Senate Armed Services
< ommittee.
The officer who appeared on
behalf of the bill today is Major
General Gordon P, Seville. He
testified that the military knows
of no effective defense against
attack from the air without a
radar protection system. The ra-
dai fence would be linked with
a similar network in Canada.
Committee Chairman Millard
T.votings of Maryland says the
group may act on the measure
later in the day. It is estimated
that ultimately the radar fence
would cost 161 million dollars.

<1111 \ four yeais aftci winning
mii'teiv of the Pacific fiom Japan,
the United States is moving its
mn:ii defense line on the Pacific
back to its own west coast.
Tin* only weapon not being cut
down in the Pacific is the sub-
nun inc.
Pacific commanders at I’earl
Harbor decline to discus* the sub-
ject, but obviously the line they
would like to man and hold is as
far from the United States main-
land and as close fo Asia as pos-
sible.
Under present and contemplat-
ed budgets, however, forces left
for the Pacific arc too scanty for
maintenance of a distant line.
Supply and shipping costs would
be tremendous to maintain in
Japan, Okinawa and the Marianas
the kind of perimeter defense
which Pacific commanders would
like.
With priorities concentrated, on
Europe, the Mediterranean and
elsewhere, the role of the Pacific
in the cold war strategy seems
even more secondary than in
World War Two,
American military observers at
Peart‘'Harbor agree the industrial
and plane producing belt of the
west’ coast would tte the prize tar-
get foi an enemy surprise attack
by long-range bombers or submar-
ine-launched guided missies.
With expense as a controlling
factor in the Pacific, observer*
feel the best defense that can be
afforded again*t such attack is
to concentrate major defense ele-
ments right on the potential tor-
get and in Alaska,
By concentrdting riiajoi' ele-
ments ^*f Pacific defense on the
west coifst and cutting the supply
problem to a minimum, observers
note, immediate opportunities for
enemy submarines are reduced.
The Rus.'iians are said to have
many Get man-developed Snorkel
type high speed submarines. But
the feeling at Pearl Harbor is that
they lack experience in submarine
operations comparable with that
of the United Stales navy.
Pearl Harbor remains a full-
scale submarine base. !U force is
being converted on a fast sched-
ule to the Snorkel or underwater
breathing apparatus.
If the time ever aheuid come
