Japan's "Con"
Man
BY Clark Lee
BY Clark Lee
(wNU Feature-Through special arrange
ment with Golfers Weekly

If you should twirl the short
wave dials of your radio one of
these nights and hear an announcer
say: "This is Colonel Jiro Saito
speaking from Manila" listen
carefully!
The voice will be that of Japan's
ace undercover man, a man you
should know if you are to under
stand how the Tokyo war lords
operate, how they are using every
possible weapon in their bid for
world conquest-trickery as well
as troops; propaganda, bribery,
fifth columnism and intrigue as
we'll as submarines and airplanes.
And more important, it will be
JirO Saito or somebody very
much like him whom the Japs
will call on when they are even
tually forced to cry ''uncle" to
Uncle Sam. The Japs don't ex-
pect to win their war to conquer
the world all at once. What they
want now in the Pacific is
stalemate and a negotiated peace
that will let them keep part of
what they have taken and give
them time to prepare for the
next step toward world mastery.
When the situation looks ripe,
they will "depose" the militarists,
put in a conservative" cabinet Of
business men and one-time friends
of America. They will produce men
like Jiro Saito to plead, their case,
shy, soft-spoken, "so-sorry-for-
you" fellows, who will attempt to
convince the United States that it
was all mistake ,ahd let's be
friends again. es1 ,a
When you listen to Jiro Saito's
smooth, cultivated voice, speaking
in dramatically. perfect English,
with just an occasional suggestion
of Honolulu 'pidgin," you will be
hearing man who exemplifies
japanese deceit. Saito is medium
sized, rotund man of 48, with pow
erful neck and shoulders and with
hair trimmed close to his broad
pate in traditional japanese army
style. He looks like a typical Jap,
but doesn't act like one. He spent
his early years in Honolulu.
Started Two Wars
There is nothing of the sword
rattler or swashbuckler about him.
On the contrary. he is extremely
shy. Meeting him in peacetime, you
would have thought him a nice,
pleasant character, totally unlike
the average run of Jap army Of
ficer.
But Saito has started two wars
and stopped one. In his wake there
has always been trail of blood
shed and tragedy. He was-and un-
doubtedly still is-the Japanes
army's first expert on American
psychology, it's star secret agent,
and a one-man fifth column.
You can scarcely stick pin any
where in the map of Asia without
touching a region that has felt
Saito's influence; and for the past
decade and longer, a large part Of |
Asia has been bathed in blood. |
Even so, there is no blood on Sal
to's own pudgy hands. He always
gets out of a place before the
shooting and bombing start, or he
goes in after they have stopped |
Indeed, in nearly 80 years in the
ill-fitting khaki of the Imperial
army, he has never plunged his
sword into one of the emperor's
enemies, never heard shot fired
except on maneuvers, never COM
manded troops in the field.
The portly colonel was very pop
ular with the American correspond |
ents in Shanghai. Squatting cross

The most important accomplish
ment of the committee was the de-
lection and elimination of the
bottleneck in the Schlesinger prod
uction line.
A movie cartoon idea springs
out of a conference room and
flows across drawing tables to be
operated on with pencil, pen and
paint at progressive stages. High
ly skilled animators pass key
drawings to assistants for develop
ment, dozens of in-betweeners
smooth out the action, hundreds
of mixers and painters complete
the "cels." These join the pano-
ramic backgrounds in final as
sembIy under the movie camera.
Eliminate Bottleneck
If this process takes 80 weeks
from idea to camera, and the
schedule calls for a completed car
toon every two weeks, there will
normally be Is pictures simul-
taneously in work.
The 5-5 committee of Schlesing-
er artists and managers observed
a great increase in the number of
cartoons in work the past year.
They studied production figures
from each department and found
the bottleneck at the intermediate
stage of cartooning. Army inroads
on experienced assistants and in
betweeners had left chiefly ap-
prentices who had not developed
production pace.
The labor-management solution
was to have animators work for
times as assistants and in-bet-
;Teeners to close the production
n;op. This corrected a situation

Big Clipping Bureau
Reads BluftOn NelUS


One of the most unusual busi-
nesses in the world-Burrelle's Press
Clipping Bureau of New York City
was started in 1888 at the time of
the Great Blizzard in New York
City. Clippings were marked on the
U. S. S. Battleship Maine being
blown up in Havana Harbor-the as
sassination of President Mckinley
the first successful airplane flight by
the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk
---and the San Francisco earthquake.
The Burrelle organization has
grown until today it is the oldest
and largest press clipping bureau in
the world employing over one humid
red people to read and clip every
newspaper and magazine published
in the U. S. and Canada and many
foreign countries. Each reader scans
from so to $50 different newspapers
every day--or about four full length
novels.
Of all the many thousands of
newspapers and magazines read and
clipped at Burrelle's, the readers en-
joy the News because it contains so
many interesting items and is SO
easy to read.

Bluffton motorists aren't so hot as
record keepers of their automobile
tire serial numbers.
That's the conclusion reached by
local official inspection centers.
Not only were most motorists here
unaware that their car tires had
serial numbers, they often put them
down incorrectly even after they
were made aware of the numbers
existence. :
Not that they're dishonest, the mo-
torists here were simply careless in
copying the figures down for their
gasoline rationing certificates. Us
ually it's only one number in the
serial that is incorrect but that still
makes its wrong.
Of course, it must be admitted
that with tire checks, curb scrapine
and abrasions the job of getting the
serial numbers copied correctly
wasn't too easy a task, especially
when one had to crawl under th'
car to get at them.

HEAD OF FAMILY EXEMPTION

A single person, or a married per-
son not living with husband or wife,
is entitled to personal exemption of
$1,000 for the year if he can qualify
as head of family. A head of fam
lily is AN individual who actually sup
ports and maintains in one household
one or more individuals who are clos
ely connected with him by blood rela-
tionship, relationship by marriage or
by adoption, and whose right to ex-
ercise family control and provide for
these dependent individuals is based
upon some moral or legal obligation.
Examples of head of family status
would be widower or widow who
maintained a home for a dependent
child, or son who supported and
maintained a household for a depend
ent father or mother. In order to
meet the test of actual support and
maintenance as head of a family, the
benefactor must furnish more than
one-half of the support and mainte-
nance.

plete responsibility in the repair of
the street. WPA labor was to be
used on the project but when this type
of labor was lessened by the war de-
mands it was impossible to begin re-
moval operations.
Removal Work
Removal work is now in charge of
government agency known as War
Materials, Inc This agency sub-lets
contracts for the salvage of various
types of iron and steel essential to
war production.
The agreement with War Materials,
Inc. is the same as with the WPB.
The rails will be donated with the un-
derstanding that the street will be
satisfactorily repaired.
The rails are made of very high
grade steel that will not go into the
ordinary scrap channels but will be
made ready for a specific type of
steel needed for specialized war pro-
duction.
Weigh 160 Tons
There are approximately 1900
feet of steel rails and they will weigh
about 100 tons. The construction
specifications were those of the Col
umbus street railway company and
designed for permanency. Paving OF
the traction company's right of way
was entirely of concrete to depth
of IA inches.
The steel rails were set in the con-
crete and bound with steel ties in
stead of the usual wooden ties. The
construction, known as monolithic
concrete, is one of the most perman-
ent in engineering practice.
| No word has been given by the
government agency as to when remov
al operations will start here, the
mayor said.
