# Ministry of Munitions (Japan)

The Ministry of Munitions (軍需省, Gunjushō) was a cabinet-level ministry in the Empire of Japan, charged with the procurement and manufacture of armaments, spare parts and munitions to support the Japanese war effort in World War II.

## History

The Ministry of Munitions was created on 1 November 1943 out of the Board of Planning of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, which was subsequently abolished. With an increasing portion of Japan's industrial base and infrastructure damaged by Allied air raids, the Japanese government felt it necessary to unify the administration of munitions production to improve efficiency and to increase production levels, particularly that of military aircraft. The concept was inspired by the German Ministry of Armaments and Munitions under Fritz Todt and Albert Speer, which had successfully increased Nazi Germany's industrial production under similar adverse conditions, and was also an unsuccessful political move by the military to impose more control over the zaibatsu.
Although Prime Minister Tōjō concurrently was first Minister of Munitions, the actual day-to-day running of the Ministry devolved to his deputy, Nobusuke Kishi.
Key firms were designated as components of the nationalized Munitions Companies System, and managers were given positions as government officials. Production staff was regarded as conscript labor and was not allowed to quit, or go on strike. State-controlled financial institutions provided working capital and subsidized the firms for any losses.
The Ministry of Munitions was abolished in 1945, by the American occupation authorities, and its functions were absorbed into the modern Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).

# Anatoly Biryukov

Anatoly Nikolaevich Biryukov (Russian: Анатолий Николаевич Бирюков, 18 February 1939 – 24 February 1979), known as The Baby Hunter (Russian: Охотник за младенцами), was a Soviet serial killer convicted for the killing of five babies in the Moscow area between September and October 1977.

## Background

Anatoly Nikolaevich Biryukov was born on 18 February 1939 in Lopasnya, Moscow Oblast, RSFSR (present-day Chekhov, Moscow Oblast, Russia). His father, Nikolai Biryukov, had been decorated a Hero of the Soviet Union during World War II, and served as a General of the Soviet Army. Biryukov was married with children.

## Murders

Biryukov kidnapped and murdered his first victim on 16 September 1977, when he stole a stroller that had been left briefly unattended in front of an infant formula store on Marshal Biryuzov Street in Moscow. Later that day, the missing stroller was found empty and the baby was found dead in the hallway of an apartment building on the same street. Three days later Biryukov kidnapped his second victim, a three-month-old girl, when he seized a stroller in front of the Children's World store on Prospekt Mira. The authorities began to suspect that they had a possible serial perpetrator, and launched one of the largest operations in Moscow police history looking for the missing baby. On October 17, the body of Biryukov's second victim was found in a landfill near Mamyrov, a village on the outskirts of Moscow. She showed signs of having suffered sexual assault before death.

## Arrest and conviction

On 24 October 1977, Biryukov attempted a kidnapping in Chekhov, a city south of Moscow city in Moscow Oblast. In the aftermath of the attempt, he was chased after by citizens who later described him to the investigators, leading to Biryukov's arrest. Three additional infant victims are attributed to Biryukov, believed to have been committed before his arrest.
In 1978, Biryukov was sentenced to death for the five murders. Later while in detention, he attempted to commit suicide. The sentence was appealed to the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, but Biryukov was executed by firing squad on 24 February 1979.
The murders were the subject of episode 206, titled "Empty Stroller" (Russian: "пустая коляска"), of the NTV show "Следствие вели...". Participants included two eyewitnesses, the mother of one of the victims, two state investigators and Biryukov's defence attorney. According to the presenter of the NTV show, Leonid Kanevsky, the Soviet authorities avoided publicizing the Biryukov case in part because of the status of Biryukov's father, Nikolai Biryukov, a decorated army general and war hero.
# 1889 Singapore Municipal Commission election

Elections to Singapore Municipal Commission took place in 1889.

## Background

The Municipal Ordinance was passed in 1887 which created a partly-elected Municipal Commission that would oversee local urban affairs in Singapore.
A candidate for a Municipal Commission election would need to have a proposer and a seconder from among the registered voters in one of the five wards in Singapore. Once a candidate is nominated, a voting date is scheduled. The election system did not provide for political party affiliations for candidates but municipal commissioners are generally affiliated with ethnic or trade associations.
A candidate needs to secure at least 20 votes to be elected as a municipal commissioner. Sole candidates who failed to secure the 20 required votes may be appointed by the Governor of the Straits Settlements as a municipal commissioner.
If there are two or more candidates contesting in a ward, voters would elect one of the candidates.
If there are no nominations in a ward, the Governor may appoint someone to represent the ward.

## Elections

| Election date | Ward | Candidate | Votes |
| 29 June 1889 | No. 3 Tanglin | Frederick Gerald Davidson | 24 |
| 6 December 1889 | No. 2 Central | Tan Ben Wang | 59 |
| 6 December 1889 | No. 4 Rochore | Lim Eng Keng | 43 |
# Harold Littledale

Harold Littledale (3 October 1853 – 11 May 1930) was a professor of English who worked in India. He published commentaries on the works of Tennyson, Wordsworth and Coleridge. He was also a naturalist who documented bird life mainly in western India.

## Life and work

Littledale was born in Rathgar to Dublin solicitor William Francis Littledale and Jane Cross. Educated at the Royal School, Armagh and Trinity College, Dublin with a BA (1876) he went to India in 1879 where he served as a vice principal at Baroda College. He became a director of vernacular instruction in Baroda State (1879–99). He was also a Fellow of Bombay University. Littledale travelled across the Himalayas, camping and shooting. He published a pamphlet Rough Notes of Travel and Sport in Kashmir and Little Thibet (1888) which was considered an amusing account. He travelled with the geologist Robert Bruce Foote who was surveying the Baroda State. A keen naturalist, sportsman, and collector of bird eggs, he wrote extensively on his observations from around India and contributed notes to various journals including Stray Feathers edited by A.O. Hume and later the journal of the Bombay Natural History Society of which he was an early member. While being a sport hunter himself, he saw native snaring of birds as a cause of decline in the numbers of the lesser florican. He was a proponent of introducing game species for the purpose of hunting and suggested the introduction of chukar into western India. In 1897 he suggested that notes be collated from observers to augment the earlier works on birds. He shot tigers around Baroda, and also documented folklore such as the use of tigress' milk as medicine. A collection of birds eggs that he made was purchased by the Baroda Museum. Littledale married Ana (Annapurna Turkhud) the daughter of Atmaram Pandurang on November 11, 1880, and they had a daughter Ana Nelline and a son Harold Aylmer. After the death of his wife in Edinburgh in 1891, Littledale married Sybil Frances Hanbury and they had five children, of whom daughter Maud Caroline married the cricketer Clarence Vivian Paull. Littledale left Baroda in 1898 and his position as professor of English was taken by Sri Aurobindo. He was professor of English at Cardiff University from 1899 until his retirement in 1921. At Grangetown, he founded a Shakespeare reading circle in 1910.
A collection made by Littledale of photographs from India, including pictures from Nainital before the 1880 landslide are held in the Cambridge University Library. He died at Southbourne, Bournemouth.

## Note

* ↑ Nelline is from Nalini, a pseudonym used by Annapurna, a nickname given by her admirer Rabindranath Tagore who wrote several poems on her.
