New Congress
To Usher Attack
On 4O-Hr. Week
By DAVID sENTNER


WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Tc
ret the growing shortage Of
anpower and increase war pro
duction, legislation TO extend the
40-hour week will be introduced
early in the new Congress, il was
learned today.
The establishment OF a 48-houI
week for more than a million fed
eral employees, with time-and-a'
half overtime for those working
more than 40 hours weekly, was
seen as the forerunnner of similar
action for employees in private in
dustry, with or without modifica-
tons.
The Joint congressional resclu.
ton signed by President Roose
welt, bringing increases 10 most
government employees. did not ef-
feet the war and navy depart
nnents, which have been operating
on 4S-hour week since the out
break OF war.
DRASTIC LABOR CURBS
The Forthcoming congressiona
move 10 amend the wage and hour
law was considered likely TO be
complicated blythe demands Of
some groups for drastic labor
curbs.
Certain conservative southern
Democrats have announced they
will fight for the public filing oil
financial records by labor unions
Others have come out against
time snd-s-half vertime fof
workers in war plants.
Entwined in consideration oi
new labor legislation is the sug-
zestion by Grenville Clark, per-
sonal friend of the President. that
all American workers be regi-
nented for the war effort.
Both CIO and AFL spokesmer
termed the proposal as an at
tempt Ito shove compulsory labor
down the throats Of every work
before voluntary methods had
teived fair trial.
"a showdown will soon he due
on the issue Of free labor versus
compulsory labor" said Eric
Peterson vice president of the
International Association OF Ma
chinists.
FIGURES As PROOF

duction figures will soon present

Clark. author Of the first draft
Of the Selective Service Act. sent
copies of his proposal to the Presi-
dent. Manpower Commissioner
Paul V. McNutt, and leaders OF
Congress.
Declaring for Capitalization OF

rector Of national service, he rec
commended that all men between
the ages of Is and 50 and all
women between the ages Of ~ and
30 be made liable for national war
duty.
EVERY ONES DUTY
IAN obligation rests upon
every person "a render such per-
sonal service In aid Of the war
effort a. he or she may he

Clark asserted
Under the Clark proposal. In
prescribing equations for carry

could assign persons liable 10 serv-
ice--including men registere
under the Selective Service Act
TO such non-mltary service in
aid OF the war effort as he may
deem necessary 10 the successful
prosecution Of the war.
This service would include pro-

sessions, the Hawaiian Islands. Almost so
per cent of Hawaii's population is Japanese
There are the oldsters, the issei still tied to
the motherland by language, habits, and 10y
atty; and there are the nisei, young japanese
born American soil
Here, for Chiyoko, was the greatest stage
yet In her career. Japanese high society
opened their homes to her. And many young
nisei were attracted By her.
From the Hawaiian Islands she went to
the Philippines. Here too she had a vast
field in which TO SOW her harvest. Here too
there were Japs to listen and smile And since

Chiyoko returned to Japan, and of all the
welcome she received none meant so much to
her as that of her tutor and master now Lieu
tenant General Kenji Doihara.
His Chinese princess, the Mata Hari OF
the East who had taken the Jap name Yo-
shiko Kawashima, was now dead beaten TO
death with hammers in the hands of the peo-
pie she betrayed in the service of Japan
Chiyoko TaZawa is still radantly young
1t is she who is now the "Mata Hari OF the
East" a Cinderella who has helped set the
world on fire a fire which the United Nations

q most unimportant tavern-keeper's daughter
With a suddenness mysterious TO her fam
lily and friends large boxes began TO arrive
addessed TO Chiyoko She bloomed out in a
gorgeous wardrobe of Western costumes
There were fun and filmy Viennese creations
10 90 with a Strauss waltz There were
Spanish dresses of black and flame color for
flamencos and the boero There were Brazil
ian costumes for the tango, and dresses to go
with our own American soft shoe and tap
dancing
When she put them on and showed her
self before her family and her sutors they
gasped. Was this rainbow beauty the Cinder-
ella in the ragged kmono they remembered
by the glow of the tavern's charcoal burner?
An American, Forrest Garnett came TO
Toxic TO teach esthetic dancing and Chiyoko
became pupil She learned fast. The day
came when she gave a recital in the grand
ballroom of the Imperial Hotel Considering
that she was as yet unknown the audience
was remarkable for the number of socially
august personages in IT, Even the American
teacher wondered
Chiyoko danced well But that would not
have explained the receptions to her that
followed at the homes Of Japanese aristocracy
its money kings. it's hereditary princes. 1t
is hard for Americans TO understand how
unusual it was for them TO receive the tavern
keepers daughter socially into their homes.
Society in Japan is rigidly stratified into
three classes, upper, middle and lower. Neither
talent nor achievement could break through
these barriers. There are three diff
ferent modes of address in Japanese, the
language used in speaking TO a superior to an
equal and to an inferior. II would take
centuries of aristocratic ancestry to win the
invitations Chiyoko received

eNpcctant with the result that her plate was
nu'd again at the expense Of the rest of the
family
In her adolescence she still spent most of
her time in the tavern. her shapey hands
folded her eyes smiling mpartay as the
sun on young and old The tavern was in
the neighborhood of the university and was
fun OF young students.
AS impartial as her smile were her kisses
Then young Shima Katsui son of a silk mer-
chant. fell in love with her His father was
SO rich that Chiyoko concentrated on the son
She should have known better than To hope
that the silk merchants family would ever
accept tavern keepers daughter into their
midst.
But the boy loved her with such deadly
earncstness that she used an old device in
such circumstances. 1t had no effect on the
boys parents too much effect on the boy
Caught between his feeling for Chiyoko. her
unborn child and his family's refusal TO accept
Chiyoko, the youth begged her to commit
shinju with him. Shinju is double suicide
Secretly Chiyoko annoyed. Her plan
had failed and now she was burdened both

with coming child and lover who would
be disinherited by his parents yet would cling
TO her as long as there was life in him. But
she took on the loving, tragic bearing of
woman determined not TO live without her
lover.
Together they climbed that high altar for
suicides in Japan, Fujiyama the volcano. Hand
in hand they stood on the sharp rim Of the
crater and gazed down at the death below
With a last word and look Katsui, his hand
still clasping hers, leaped.
At the last instant Chiyoko twisted out of
his hold and stood alone.
She left her "out-of-papa' baby entirely
for her mother 10 bring up her only concern
being whether her figure had been affected.
The mirror treasured her. She still had her
girish. clever body.
Now she dreamed Of becoming a dancer.
She recalled the story of one dancer who in
the first World War had kings and premiers
for lovers and held the fate of bloody battles
in her hands But Malta Hari paid for her
power with death Chiyoko meant TO have
the power and the glory without the bitter

most of her days in her fathers tavern on

UT WOULD seem strange to mention in the
1 same breath Cinderella and Malta Hari, the
typical dancer spy OF the first World War,
but the combination makes a sinister kind
of sense in the story of Japanese girl, Chi

story as sheer exotic romance, were it not
for her role in the tragedies of Pearl Harbor.
