Their guns taken away, Jap naval shore patrolmen walk streets with
wooden staves to maintain order among disarmed sailors in Tokyo.
LABOR:
V. S. Acts
Acting energetically. Secretary of
Labor Lewis Schwellenbach took
the all-important oil workers' wage
dispute virtually in his own hands
by transferring negotiations to
Washington, D. C-, in an effort to
effect a settlement that was ex-
pected to set a pattern for the re-
conversion period.
With the Oil Workers' union de-
mand for a 30 per cent wage in-
crease embodying the program of
other powerful CIO organizations,
and with the oil companies' atler of
a 15 per cent boost representing
the usual compromise, final disposi-
tion of the case would go far to-
ward determining the amount of
"take-home" pay for employees
during the ensuing months.
Schwellenbach's decision to shift
the parley to Washington, D. C..
from Chicago, 111., followed upon an
early deadlock in the bargaining
over the union's insistence that the
dispute be settled on an industry-
wide basis and the companies' stand
that contracts should be signed by
individual plants.
Meanwhile, over 1,500,000 persons
were affected by the strike of AFL
elevator operators and building
service employees in New York,
with business losses running over
91.000,000 a day and production of
winter and summer garments vir-
tually stopped. Balking at a war
labor board award of $28 05 for a 44
hour week, the union asked $30.15
for a 40 hour week.
JAPAN:
Historic Precedent
September 27, 1945. went down in
history as the red-letter day on
which a Japanese emperor, unbend-
ing himself in defeat, made a per-
sonal call upon a victorious U. S.
commander to break all precedent.
God to his people, small, wiry
Hirohito, in formal morning clothes
and nigh silk top hat, was very
much man to Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur, who, steeped in occupation-
al duties, met him in informal mili-
tary attire and without a tie.
Motoring to the American embas-
sy in Tokyo for the visit, Hirohito
made his call just as MacArthur set
about shaping plans for the re-edu-
cation of the Japanese people and
stripping Nippon of all its war-mak-
ing potentialities by an economic
reformation.
In recasting the Japanese mind,
MacArthur chose to pursue the
present policy of working through
native personnel. Japanese press,
radio, movies, government informa-
tion bureaus, schools and various so-
cial groups would be used as me-
diums for the dissemination of
democratic principles and ideals for
world co-operation.
In Japan's economic reformation,
the U. S. will strive for the eradica-
tion of all potential war industry,
confining the Nipponese merely to
civilian production. At the same
time, efforts will be made to break
up the business monopoly of the four
great houses of Mitsibushi. Mitsui,
Yusada and Sumitomo, and pro-
mote widespread ownership and
trade. Organization of labor and
agricultural organizations also will
be encouraged.
Meanwhile. Japanese economic
experts called for a resumption of
trade with the U. S. to speed Nip-
pon's postwar recovery and stave
off impending privation. In return
for American cotton, wool, salt, oil,
iron, sugar and leather the Japa-
nese proposed exports of silk, gold,
porcelain ware and lacquer goods.
TIRES:
Demand Mounts
, While the production of new auto-
mobile tires is making fair prog-
ress, prospects for the elimination of
tire rationing in the near future are
not promising, according to the Na-
tional Automobile Dealers associa-
tion.
Although the tire industry is plan-
ning on the production of approxi-
mately 12 million tires between
October and the end of the year,
mmc will be reserved for new cars.

CREDIT:
Ease Controls
In a move hit by OPA because of
inflationary possibilities, but rapped
by finance companies because of its
restricted scope, the government
removed all credit controls over
building renovation and eased rey-
ulations on loans for services or
non-essential purchases.
Remaining unchanped in view of
popular demand and limited supply
was the 12 month credit repayment
for washing machines, vacuum
cleaners, bed linen, mattresses,
boats, watches, cameras, automo-
biles, pianos and furniture.
Though OPA resisted the re-
stricted easing of credit regulation
for fear of a scaling of prices op-
ward in f; ce of heavy buying, cer-
tain financing groups declared that
continuing restrictions placed low
income classes at a disadvantage
and price control and rationing as-
sured market stabilization.
ARGENTINA:
Buck Change
Problem center of South America,
Argentina was under another state
of siege as the gov-
ernment of Pres.
Edelmiro Farrell,
controlled by Col.
Juan Peron, round-
ed up economic,
pi political and labor
'r an ill-fated attempt
to overthrow the
/ £ c present regime.
In extending mili-
tary rule and sus-
pending constitutional guarantees of
speech, press and assembly, the gov-
ernment declared that it was forced
to move to stem "a growing cam-
paign aimed at alteration of the
(existing) order and conducted by
the oligarchy (powerful interests>
..." Liberty would be restored
when the various groups would know
how to use it, Farrell added.
The abortive revolutionary at-
tempt by two top Argentine generais
followed close upon the heels of
widespread demonstrations of demo-
cratic elements against the pro-mil-
itary Farrell-Peron regime, main-
taining the present economic and so-
cial setup in the face of persistent
demands for its liberalization.
JOBLESS BENEFITS:
Shelve Bill
Declaring that the current wave
of strikes has confused the question
of whether a real need exists for
the lengthening of unemployment
compensation payments up to 26
weeks, the powerful house ways and
means committee held up a senate
bill providing federal aid for exten-
sion of benefits.
By Us action, the house group
dealt a body blow to President Tru-
man's program for jobless aid, since
the senate in passing a modified bill
previously had refused to boost un-
employment compensation up to a
maximum of $25 weekly. The sen-
ate measure would have permitted
the federal government to advance
sufficient sums to the states to
spread jobless payments over 26
weeks.
House committee rejection of the
bill stirred labor's wrath. AFL Pres.
William Green accusing the con-
gressmen of "callous disregard of
human needs," and CIO Chieftain
Philip Murray calling upon the CIO
and its Political Action committee
for an all-out drive to "secure re-
versal of this shameful act."
on,:
U. S.-British Pact
Virtual monopolists in oil, the
U. S. and Britain came to an under-
j standing for the orderly develop-
ment of petroleum trade in the post-
I wr.r world in a pact faij.ioned in
' London by Secretary of the Interior
1 Ickc-s and British officials and sub-
I ject to senate ratification,
i Removing vigorous opposition to
' any control over domestic produc-
1 tion as envisaged in a previous
agreement later repudiated by the
U S,. toe new puct only provides
for advisory regulation of American
and British operations oversea i.
Both countries have extensive oil
holdings in foreign lands, notably in
the middle east, where deposits are
reportedly as sjreat as in the U. S
In drawing up the agreement
Ickes and British Fuel Administra
tor Shimvell provider for mutual re-
spect of all concessions and rich's
obtained by either country, and also
pledged non-interference with oper-
ations.
MEAT:
More Available
Because of the seasonal increase
in the marketing of range fed cat-
tle, OPA remi ved point require
ments for lower grades of ber f. veal
i and Iamb through most of October,
and also made hamburger, lamb and
veal patties, short ribs and brisket
of beef, breast and flank of lamb
and shank of veal ration-free.
In addition, points were lifted
from such low-grade meat products
as sausage, frankfurters, luncheon
variety and canned meats.
In contrast, however, the contin-
ued tight supply of hogs and fin-
ished cattle necessitated the reten-
tion of current point values on pork
cuts, bacon and other cured meats,
and choice selections of beef, vea>
and lamb. Though fats and oils
were kept on the rationing list, point
removal on cheaper meat will fur-
nish additional stamps for these
items.

EUROPE:
Occupation Problem
In war or in peace, eld General
Patton. with a mind of h.s own con-
tinued to make news, the latest
ocasion being his clash with Gen-
eral Eisenhower over the use of
competent former Nazi civil serv-
ants for a restoration of German
economy to head off threatened
chaos this winter.
Besides being a?kcd for an imme-
diate report on the number of for-
mer Nazis still holding office in 3rd
army territory. Patton also was di-
rected to give Eisenhower a per-
sonal accounting of his control over
the Bavarian region. For a hard
peace. Eisenhower favors a ruth-
less denazification of Germany's
political, educational and economic
life, and an early establishment of a
Reich living standard no higher than
surrounding countries'.
Though the first to be called on
the carpet, Patton's attitude is
known to be shared by other U. S
officers seeking to avert starva-
tion. frost suffering and epidemics
this winter in the shattered nation
FAR EAST:
Native Uprising
Even as Chinese and British
forces took over Indo-China, native
Annamites rose in rebellion at the
prospect of a return of French rule,
terrorizing the European population
of the state, which normally exports
much rice, rubber, high-grade coal
spices and tin.
Frenchmen were the principal tar-
gets of native wrath, since many,
under protection of Chinese and
British guns, have displaced Anna
miles holding public offices prelimi-
nary to rcf' aoiishment of French
colonial rule.
Strangely enough, the Japanese,
who promised Indo - Chinese inde-
pendence during their military oc-
cupation of the country and still re
main in force prior to their com-
plete demobilization, have been
called upon to help assist under-
manned Allied units re-establish
peace.
GOOD NEIGHBOR:
Aids Health
Remote, disease-plagued regions
of the Amazon systems of Peru and
Bolivia have been equipped by mod-
ern health measure," to progress in
human welfare.
The menace of malaria and other
tropical diseases has been consid-
erably lessened in the two countries
by inauguration of hospitals and
medical services by the U. S, and
South American nations through the
Institute of Inter-American affairs.

For Used Fats
Help Increase Supplies of Soap and
Other Peacetime Products By Saving
More Used Fats
Industrial fats far short of last year! We are almost down to the bottom of
the barrel. The nation's industrial fat supply is millions of pounds less
than it was in 1944. Wc need fully as much as last year to help make the
soaps and other civilian goods you want and need so badly. So ...
If you want more soap and soap flakes... if
you're dreaming of nylons, sheets, cotton fabrics
and want them to hurry back to the store
counters... you can help by saving those used
kitchen fats as you never saved before! Save
every drop, every day!
These fats are vitally necessary to help speed
greater supplies of soaps and hundreds of other
things like new cars, electric washers, irons,
refrigerators and tires. Industry must have
these fats ... to help get to you more quickly
the peacetime products you've been longing to
have for years!
So skim and scrape and scoop just -;<> you did
so faithfully before V-J Day. To prove how
important it is, your government has in-
creased the point bonus. So help meet this
nation's need by continuing to save used
fats. If you can't find a store that accepts
used fats, call Home Demonstration or
County Agent.
