New York.--1n one of the busiest
buildings on the busiest street in
busy New York, is a branch Of the
Bank Of Japan, and working quietly
at a desk is a serious looking Japan.
csc, by the name Of katsuhiko Har1-
aguchi. who is none other than the
son Of Yuko Mamaguchi, the new
Prime Minister of Japan.
While the father holds the most
important position his country can
offer, the son leads the quiet ex-
istcnce Of a student-almost Of a
clerk. He is learning the interna-
tional banking business from the
bottom up.
Instead {. the advantages Of court
life and state recognition that his
fathers position would naturally
give him in Japan, he lives quietly
at a Lon~ Island suburb and COM
mrtcs daily like millions of other
New Workers, unrecognized as the
son of one Of the worlds leading
statesmen.
The contrast between the father
and son must be marked. Judging
by the fathers unofficial title which
il that Of "Shishi," which means
1.-THE lion" 1t was suggested by
his rather massive stature, his shay
gy white hair. and his Lloyd George
mustache, which makes him a strik-
ing figure physically as we'll as po-
~litically.
He is the third untitled man to be
made prime minister, and is the
leader of the Minseita, which is the
Liberal party. Not a rich man,
he is known as a very astute econ
omist. With Japan suggested as an
umpire in the difficulties between
China and the Russian Soviet, he
may become a significant figure in
world politics soon.
Learning Our Language
Young Hamaguchi does not sug-
gest the lion or any other fierce
animal. He is slim. slightly stoop-
shouldered as if he had spent much
time pouring over books. and is SO
affable that he nunctuates his con-
versation with politely restrained
giggles-always when his English
fails him.
His use Of our language is not
exactly fluent. but quite adequate,
and he says his vocabulary is prac-
tically only Of three months growth.
Before he came here, he knew what
he had learned in little red books.
That he is expected to follow in
his fathers honorable footsteps is
indicated by the education he is pur-
suing. He was graduated from the
Imperial University Of Tokyo
where, incidentally he was the jiu-
jitsu champion Of Japan. Afterwards
he studied finance in his own coun-

PURCHASING AGENT
OF STATE WILL Be
FACTOR IN Buying
New Chairman Of Board Of Ad.
ministration Insists He Dis.
charge Entire Job

The lob Of purchasing agent for
the state board Of administration IS
growing.
Under the rules of the board the
purchasing agent has general super
vision Of all purchases made by or for
the state institutions which the board
controls.
In the past. however, some institu-
tions, particularly those Of an educa-
tional nature, have arranged to pur-
chase some things and referred the
purchases to the board for approval.
But J. e. Davis. new chairman Of
the board, believes the system should
be changed. He wants the purchasing
agent to act for all institutions In
all matters. As q result he has In
sisted that acquisitions and requests
for the purchase Of equipment and
supplies be referred to the purchasing
agent for approval before the board
acts on them. This applies even to
such items as chemical supplies. lab
oratory equipment and musical in
struments.
Answering the objection that the
purchasing agent can be expected to
know little about technical subjects,
Davis replied, HE can learn. It Is
we'll for him to have the experience
and to gain the knowledge that ex-
animation into these things will give
him. It will make him more valuable
to the board"
Business executives know that en-
terprises succeed or fail according to
the manner In which details are
handled" Davis said. Most good
business men spend their lives at
tending to details. The big things
more or less take care Of themselves
but 1t Is stopping the little leaks and
the introduction Of minor economics
which. In the aggregate. make . bus
mess successful. The same thing
holds true Of state business"
It Is Davis idea that the new sys-
tenn will have q good effect upon the
business OF all state institutions. II
institutional and department heads
know their recommendations will be
checked up carefully. they Will them
selves be more careful. In his opinion.
In many cases institutions ask for
equipment and machinery BY brand
name rather than upon the basis Of
broader technical specifications. BY
turning these matters over to the pur-
chasing agent for review they expect
him to become familiar with them
and to acquire information and
knowledge which may enable him to
aid the board In elfecting future
economies.
At the last meeting Of the board
half q dozen matters, which ordt-
narily would have been approved BY
the board without question. were
turned over to the purchasing agent

One finds here many alumni OF the
early Volstead era who have graduated
into aff1uence and surface respectability
and whose present interests may or may
not reach down to the border line
where the booze river starts flowing un-

the new wide-open attack an entirely
new form of warfare and they predict
that Government airplane patrols, with
closely linked air and land communica-
