All Belligerents in Peace Drafting LONDON, Oct. 4 A policy mapping cenference by the United States, Russia and Britain pre- liminary to a general peace-plan- ning meeting of the powers which helped defeat the Axis was pro- posed today by Australia’s Minister of External Affairs. Declaring that the failure of the | Foreign Ministers’ Council to reach an agreement ‘on basic of the European peace provided an “opportunity for a fresh start in peace making,” H. V. Evatt sug- gested the following procedure: 1-—A discussion by the three big powers on questions of major prin- ciple and policy. —A meeting of all states which contributed militarily to the defeat of the enemy for drafting final peace terms, “No one has contested that the United States, Russia and Britain must take the lead,” Evatt told a press conference at which he ad- vanced his suggestions. But the council meeting in London, he added, demonstrated that participation of other bel- ligerents is indispensable in draft- ing the final peace. Some departing delegates to the Council of Foreign Ministers ex- pressed ®he view that the con- ference, while failing to reach agreement on basic principles of the European peace, had performed an important service in exposing the pitfalls that face the architects of th post-war world. PRAVES Ei Magna Charla For Japanese Issued Today MacArthur Gives New Ord- ers fo Imperial Govern- ment - Removals TOKYO, Oct. 4—Gen. MacArthur decreed a revolutionary Magna Charta for Japan the Imperial Government to re- move all bars to freedom of speech, religion and assembly, disband the brutal, still-active “Thought Po- lice;” and release their 3,000 poli- tical prisoners by Oct. 10. In a ganized Central Liaison Office, MacArthur told the Imperial Gov- ernment, bluntly and clearly to abolish ‘all legislation restricting freedom'of the people. The letter also demanded removal from office of Home Minister Iwao yamazaki, and chiefs of the Tokyo and Osaka Metropolitan Police boards and of the Territorial Po- lice of Hokkaido. MacArthur, meanwhile, offered no comment on Russian demands for a four-power Control Govern- ment to replace his rule in Japan. The orders went out amid rising clamor by Japanese for re- lease of the prisoners arrested by the “Thought Police” for voicing ideas that weren't in agreement with the pre-surrender government. The prisoners have been confined for years in fetid jails from the southwestern tip of Japan to the northernmost home island of Hok- kaido, sometimes called “Japang STEAMER MOVEMMENTS Steamer North Sea, south from Sitka, Seattle-bound, is scheduled to arrive in port at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, and sails two hours later.

Ickes has upheld their claims to | 1 273,000 acres, about eight per cent | of the total lands claimed.

PLAY-BY-PLAY FIRST INNING CUBS - Hack looked at a strike and then beat out a rap to Webb at short. The throw to first was in the dirt but it was ruled a hit. Johnson sacrificed Hack to second, Rudy York making the play at first unassisted. Lowrey lined a single to Greenberg [in left field, and the big fellow| made a perfect peg to Richards at the plate to nail Hack as he slid in. Lowrey took second on the throw-in, Cavarretta rolled out to York un- assisted at first. No runs, two hits, no errors; one left on base. TIGERS—Webb flied out to Low- rey in left field. Mayo also s>nt one out to Lowrey, who took it at about the 300-foot mark. Cramer rolled a brisk statement that the areas set aside out Johnson to Cavarretta. No runs, no hits, no errors; none left on base. SECOND INNING CUBS—Patko popped up a high | fly to Mayo, who went far back of second base to make the catch. Nicholson flied out to Cullenbine in short right field. Gillespie flied out to Mayo back of second base. No runs, no hits, no errors; nonz left on base. TIGERS—Greenberg sent a long fly to Pafko in center field. Cul- lenbine worked Wyse for a walk, the Cubs' flinger getting only one pitch over th» plate. York struck out, looking at three pitches that cut the heart of the dish. Outlaw lined a single into left, Cullenbine holding up at second. Richards rolled out, Hughes to Cavarretta. No runs, one hit, no errors; l2ft on bases. THIRD INNING CUBS--Hughes bounced out, Mayo to York. Wyse fanned, swinging at Trucks' fast oné. Hack rolled down to York at first base, and was safe when the Tigers got mixed up and Trucks failed to cover the sack and take York's toss. It was ruled a single. Johnson fanned, swinging. No runs, one hit, no errors; one left on base TIGERS—Trucks got a big hand from the packed stands when he came to bat.

The stocky righthander kept sevan Chicago hits scattered in all but one inning and struck out four. The score had just been tied at 1-1 in the fifth and Eddie Mayo and Roger Cramer were on base by virtue of a walk ahd a single when Greenberg ‘pickad out one of Hank Wyse's high, inside curves that he liked and sent it screaming into the lower deck of the left center- field stands at about the 350-foot mark. With that 12ad to work on, Trucks bore down furiously with the fast ball and sharp-breaking curve to limit the National League champions to a single hit in the last four innings, and they never had a chance of getting back into the ball game. A paid attendance of 52,636 sitting in Briggs Stadium in cool but com- fortable weather nearly raised the roof right off the stands when Greenberg connected with his game- winner, It was the big outfielder’s fourth World Series home run.
