China Is Not Bound By Yalta Agreement, Spokesman Declares fg By The Associated Press Chinese government spokesman declared today his nation was not a patty to the Yalta agreement and is not bound by it insofar as Manchuria is concerned- "Nothing but the Sino-Soviet treaty is binding upon both China and Russia" said Ho Feng-Shan, director of the foreign office information section. The Yalta agreement gave Russia control of Port Arthur in Manchuria and near Dairen, which was de- "clared a free port; and provided for joint Sino-Soviet operation of certain Manchurian railroads.

The spokesman told reporters in Chungking he had not been authorized to say whether China intended to place the Manchurian situation before the United Nations Organization. Meanwhile, reports of renewed fighting in the big northern terri- tory circulated in thd Chinese capital.

On the morning of the attack he and another private, Joseph Lock-ard, were alone at the mobile radar station on the northernmost tip of the island of Oahu. They had kept the set operating beyond the regular 7 A.

M. closig hour so Lockard could teach Elliott radar plotting. Elliott said that at 7:02 A. M. their radar scope picked up a large flight of planes 136 or 137 miles a-way three degrees east of north.

"I was excited at getting such a large fleet at -that distance," testified. He said he did not know their identity. He said that within seven or eight minutes of plotting he tried to raise the aircraft warning center by a direct telephone but got no answer. Elliott then used another circuit and raised a Private McDonald who said there was no one around who knew what to do with the information, Elliott testified- He said he asked him to find someone. "Two or three minutes later," he said, a lieutenant called back and talked to Lockard.

He quoted Lockard as saying the lieutenant said to "forget it." The army Pearl Harbor board has identified this lieutenant as Kermit A. Tyler, later promoted to lieutenant colonel.) Elliott said he and Lockard left the station about 7:45 A. M. and that he delivered his log' of the flight, to Lt. John Upson on his return to camp nine miles away.

"We were very proud of the reading we got, the distance out," he said. "We showed off, so to speak." The Japanese bombs started falling at 7:55 A. M. Under questioning by committee counsel Seth Richardson, Elliott testified that he and Lockard went back to thestation but that no one called there that day to check on their findings. Films Be Shown Here Tomorrow Evening 7 "Report From Tokyo 194, "The Fleet That Came To Stay," and "To the Shores -of Iwo Jima." three of the most outstanding com bat and documentary films of the war, will have a free public showing at 7:30 tomorrow night in the JacKson High School Auditorium here.

In "Report from Tokyo" eight of Japan's military and industrial leaders explain why they believe Japan was defeated. This film actually produced in Japan was flown to Washington only recently and has just been released. Some of the most spectacular shots to come out of the war are in "The Fleet That Came To Stay." The landing at Okinawa and the final desperate attempt on the part of the Japanese air force to stop the American fleet by the use of kamakazi suicide planes vividly recorded. The "Iwo" film, a technicolor production of Warner Brothers for the OWI, illustrates softening up of Jap installations by battleships and carrier planes. It covers the landing, follows the men into battle and is present at the famous flag-raising atop Mount Suribachi.

Class 1 Railroads' Net Declined In 1945 WASHINGTON Class 1 rail-roads of the United States had an estimated net income of $453 million in 1945, according to reports made public by the Association of American Railroads- The figure for last year compares with a 1944 net income figure of $667.2 million. The A.A.R. estimate was based on reports from all Class 1 rail roads, representing a total of miles. Net railway operating income before interest and rentals of the Class 1 carriers was $849,780,000, a 23.2 percent drop from 1944. The A.A.R.

said the decrease resulted largely from a traffic decline after the cessation of hostilities in both Europe and the Pacific, and from increased operating costs because of higher wages and increased costs of fuel, materials and supplies-It also said increased charges to operating expenses for accelerated amortization of defense projects'' was a factor in the lower net operating income. 1 The rate of return earned on property investment averaged 3.05 per cent in 1945, compared with rate of return of 4 per cent in 1944. Total operating revenues for 1945 amounted to $8,902 million compared with $9,437 million in 1944.

Fortas said he kept no notes or memoranda on the Ickes-Pauley conference, which the former interior secretary previously had testified included "the rawest proposition ever made to me." Ickes had testified the conversation occurred Sept. 6, 1944, and backed it up with what he laid was a memorandum written a few 6yu af terx the meeting.
