On September 81, 1881, the cabinet
was debating the proposed Manchurian
invasion. There was strong civilian
opposition and it seemed more than
an even chance that the army would
be leashed. Stubby little Gen. Jiro
Minami had been made war minister
by the retiring Gen. Ugaki. Until
then. he had been little spotlighted,
although he was known as Q noisy
and vehement warmonger. He stepped
into the cabinet meeting and talked
to the ministers like a mule-skinner,
lashing and goading them and telling
them, IN effect. that, if they didn't
start the invasion through official
| channels, he would start it by his own
power and authority. The meeting
was deadlocked. A few hours later
he gave the orders which started
Iapans outreach on the mainland

question today seems to be whether he

Among Randle Highlands Items
Sought in Budget.

An idea of the program of the
Randle Highlands Citizens Association
for the coming year Is given in a list
OF projects presented to the Southeast
Council recently as budget considera-
tions for the coming year:
That the pollution of the Anacostia
River be prevented and cured and that
pressure be brought to bear on the
Maryland authorities to aid in the
cleanup; that police precinct No. II
be split into two precincts, because of
its great size; that branch library
be installed on the other side of the
Anacostia to serve over 10000 people
+ who have never had library in their
section; that preferred consideration
be given the construction of the pro-
posed Anacostia Junior High School.
Other items included a request for
the installation of traffic signals at
the intersection of Minnesota avenue,
Pennsylvania avenue and Twenty-f1fth
street Sc; improvement OF the play
grounds at Randle Highlands School;
increase in the manpower of No. II
precinct, which is said to seven men
short of the 1890 force despite the
population increase; more modern
equipment at engine company No. 10;
q truck company for the trans-Ana-
costa section; elimination OF land
slides from Pennsylvania avenue near
