Attorney-Gcneal Torn Clark asked United States army authorit- ies in Tokyo to arrest 32-year-old Iva Toguri D'Aqulno and send her to San Francisco to face o Federal Grand Jury theze "at as early a date as possible."

The action climaxes more than three years oi investigation. The inquiry, Clark said. indicated that Mrs. D'Aquino, born in L05 Angelzs J-uly 4. 1916, was one oi six English. speaking Japanese lwcmen who broadcast ove: Radio Tokyo between 1943 and 1945._

BERLIN. Aug. 10-(AP)—A Is:- lln Liberal newspaper ssysjpday that a Communist "fifth coi- umn" is at work in the, Soviet- blockaded western sectors oi the city-preparing for the day they hope the Western Powers will leave.

The Liberal Dunocrstio news- paper Montags llcho lays "the communists have prepared a purge list oi "hundreds oi thous- ands" oi anti-Communists upon whom they will take reve e if the western allies quit lerln.

The newspaper appeals to the western powers not to negotiate. ‘a new Munich" in the four- power Moscow talks.

"Berlin today stands for Ein- cpe." it says.

The pro-Soviet German press at the same time says today the Moscow talks can be a success cnly on Soviet terms.

Ottawa Parley 0n Defence

By DOUGLAS HOW

Canadian Press tafl rite:- OTTAWA, Aug. I es F01’- restal met the big men in Can- adian defence for two hours today for "a profitable, interesting and usoful exchange of views which I hope will continue in the future." Nothing more exciting than that emerged from e. brief press con- ference that followed the United States defence secretary's meeting with the dcfernce committee of the Canadian Caibinet and its top ad- visers.

Defence Minister claxton told reporters that "all aspects of dc- fence cooperation" were discussed. He added:

“One of the most satisfactory things for us was to find out how much the planning of the two countries is moving along the game lilies."

The? underlined the official view that the chief importance of the session was to maintain per- sonal touch in the _close collabo- ration between the two countries ‘in military fields. Aides said Mr. Forrcstal was particularly inter- ested in the degree oi services integration Canada has been able to achieve.

Canadians at the meeting were Mr. Claxtori. External Affairs Min- ister St. Laurent, Finance Minister Abbott. Trade Minister Howe. the four chiefs of staff, Gen. A. G. I... MPNWEhtQn. Canadian co-chair- man of the joint defence board, L. B. (Mike) Pearson, external undersecretary. and A.D. P. Hoen. IY. clerk of the privy council. The press conference produced PONJMM questions about such things as standardization of aims and the U. S. bases in Newfound- land. but they got no spectacular answers. Mr. Porrestal. in fact. asked some questions of his own. about the number of reporters who cover Ottawa and how Can-

Minister Discusses. Grading Regulations

‘happen undcr such clzcumstances

The Department oi Fisheries is ready to grant the Canadian fish- ing industry compulsory inspect- ion and grading as soon as that wish is made known to the Depart- ment by the majority of fisher. men and fish processors. the Hon. R. W. Mayhew, Minister of Fisher- ies. told a largc gathering last night at a dinner held in his honour at the Charlottetown Hotel by the P. E. Island Fisheries Federation assisted by the Pro- vincial Government.

Mr. S. L. Burhoe. president of the Fisheries Federation. presided.

Premier J. Walter Jones, in intro- ducing Mr. Mayhew, said the foundation of Eastern Canada's wealth had been founded on the codfish and that, next to agri- culture. fishing was still the Island's most important industry. The Premier said he hoped to plan out some method whereby it might be possible to persuade the Dominion Government to erect a large moci~ em bait freezer which might serve as a feeder unit for smaller ones erected at various fishing centres.

Fish Grading

Mr. Msyhew asked the fishing interests of the Province to rcon. sider well what their request to have all fish ccmpulsorily inspected and graded would mean. "i have no doubt," he said. "that should your fish be all graded ‘fancy’ or ‘standard’ under such regulations. you would all be happy. But 1 wondcr what your reaction would be should your product be stamped ‘unfit for human consumption.’ Fot. make no mistakes about it. that is what very well might

in some instances."

It; is bad enough under the present system to have canned fish turn out to be of poor quality and thus have the whole Cana- dian fishing industry suffer ill will because of the poor quality of a portion of its output. But under a Cfmpilisofl’ system. Mr. Mayhew said. the word "Canada" stamped on a fish product would have to mean something, The Department would have to enforce the regul- ations vigorously for' the fish
