ATFORMOSA Makes One of War's Out- standing Aerial Feai:- Fog, Rain on Luzon By Fred Hampson (Associated Press War Correspondent) MANILA, May 21.—In one of the war's outstanding aerial feats, a single Philippines-based Navy pa- trol plane destroyed an entire Japa- nese convoy of five ships, totaling 17,000 tons off Formosa Saturday, Gen. Douglas MacArthur reported today. The largest ship, more than 5,500 tons, was a troop carrier, judging from its numerous life rafts. A total of 369,818 Japanese have been killed and captured in the seven months’ Philippine’s campaign, 1,408 of them in the last fortnight, MacArthur announced.

WASHINGTON—After Churchill and Truman sent their simultane- ous notes to Stalin reviewing all of Russia's broken Yalta promises —on Poland, Rumania, Yugoslavia and Austria—Stalin replied on May 10 with a smashing note to Chur- chill and a milder note to Truman. In' neither did he back down on anything. Apparently Churchill has an-un- erring faculty for getting under Stalin’s skin, Twice before they were almost at each other’s throats | when the late President Roosevelt stepped in between. ' This latest| Stalin reply to Churchill was in similar vein. ¢/ The milder note to Truman was about eight pages long and reaf- firmed Russia’s desire to carry out the Yalta Pact, but differed dia- metrically regarding its interpreta- tion. Stalin fell hack also on the explanation that he and Roosevelt had a personal unders§anding as to how the Yalta Pact was to be carried out. ’ Admittedly, the ¥Yalta Pact is vague. One of the late President’s advisers reminded him of this at valta, and got the reply: “I know it but it’s the best I can get the Russians to agree to without stay- ing here six weeks and"I can't stay here six weeks.” Vagueness of the Yalta Pact is why President Truman sent for Jimmie Byrnes to come up from South Carolina thé other day.

HERO President fl;flnan Makes | Award at Joint Ses- sion of Congress | | | ancient mountain village of Spital By HOWARD DLIEGER 1 WASHINGTON, May 21.—A ram- rod-stiff G. I. sergeant from the | shrapnel-splattered battlefields of Europe stood before .his President and the Congress today to receive | the Congressional Medal of Honor. The sergeant, slender black-haired Jake W. Lindsey, 24, of Lucedale, , Miss.,, was the 100th infantryman to receive the coveted award, highekc‘ in his country’s gift. Senators and Representatives cheered and applauded—a few with excited yells—as the technical ser- geant bowed his head to receive the blue-ribboned war trophy from Pres- ident Truman. “This is a proud and moving oc- casion for every American,” the Preident said in remarks broadcast | over all major networks. “It follows the complete - victory of the Allied forces over a powerful enemy in Europe. It finds us strik- ing devastating blows in the Pacific. | We are preparing to strike them later in overwhelming force.” Award Accepted Mr. Truman joined in the applause as the young Mississippian, accom- panied by Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall, accepted the award and stepped from the House dias. It was the first time that the halls of Congress had become the theatre for a Congressionad Medal presen- tation. Members of the Cabinet and the military commanders. logked on as the decoration was presented. Enters with Marshall Sergeant Lindsey entered the | bright-lighted House Chamber with Gen, Marshall. They stepped rap- idly to a speaking stand below the rostrum to await the President’s ar- | rival. Lindsey kept his eyes fixed | straight ahead, now and then drop- | ping a glance to his parents and his | | sister who looked on from the House ! floor. After the ceremony Sergeant Lindsey was the guest of honor at a | private capitol luncheon attended | by President Truman and Congress- | ional leaders. Rep.

A fresh company of Ger- mans, aided by five tanks, concen- | trated the full force of their assault on the remnants of his platoon. Lindsey was wounded in the knee but he refused to leave the scene. He kept his rifle blazing. When his ammunition ran out, he fixed his bayonet. And then, exposed himself 1 to fire, Lindsey went out to meet the| enemy in open terrain, The sergeant closed in, killed three Nazis and captured three more. During the entire action, he had accounted personally for twen- ty killed, three captured, and an un- told number wounded. Finances of Nazi Leaders Are Frozen' PARIS, May 21—The American Military Government in Germany has frozen the finances of Nazi lead- ers. Their safe deposit boxes have been sealed.

RUSSIANS SAY YES TO ZONAL SELF DEFENSE | Soviet Agreement fo Re- gional Plan Expected to Smooth Confab Work By John M. Hl‘htower (Associated Press Diplomatic News Editor) SAN FRANCISCO, May 21—An agreement among the and Latin American nations on plans for regional self-defense sys- tems within a world organization, which was announced last night, today put the United Naticns Con- ference safely past its biggest stumbling block. Russian acceptance of the gional plan with. only minor changes in wording was followed by signs that a smooth and early solution of Soviet-American dif- ferences over a system of interna- | tional trusteeships is close at hand. Furthermore, satisfaction of the| Latin American Republics that the regional defense system in this | hemisphere will be preserved melted | their opposition to decisive action| on other major conference issues,| mainly a veto-voting system for the big powers in the proposed{ i world security council. As the fourth full week of the| conference opened, many United Nations leaders were hopeful that the job of charting the new inter- | national league could be finished June 2. Proposals for speeding up the work to meet that deadline were ready for a steering commit- {tee session today. were understood to feel that the security arrangements already on or in the making offer full pro- tection to the United States re- gardless of how the projected league works out.
