Jap Policy Shows Jews

BY the Associated Press.
The anti-Jewish policy adopted by
Japan in the Philippines is proof
President Manuel L. Quezon of the
commonwealth said today, that "the
Jews are standing Loyalty and firmly
at the side Of the other groups in
the Philippine population"
In a statement denouncing ia
pans imitation of Nazi anti-Semi-
tism, M. Quezon mentioned a Toxic
dispatch alleging that Jews in the
Philippines had made themselves
guilty, not only of black market
dealings and profiteering, but also
attempted espionage" M. Quezon
added:
"Translated from the crude tongue
OF Nazi japanese propaganda, these
words are tribute, unintended, tc
be sure. to the Jewish citizens and
residents of the Philippines. They
testify to the fact that the Jews are
standing Loyalty and firmly at the
side of the other groups in the
Philippine population, risking then
lives and their goods in opposition
to the Japanese invaders.

Maritime Commission
Accused Of Bung|ing
19-Bi||ion Ship Plan
ugly DuckIines' Failures,
Culkin Charges; Romspeck
Asks Suspended Judgment

Charges OF widespread bungline
by the Maritime Commission, to the
point where 80 per cent of a sl9,-
500,00O00o shipbuilding allotment is
beng spent on cargo ships of the
ugly duckllng" type, less than a
third as speedy as craft built by ia
pan 10 years ago, were made yes
uerday by Representative Culkin,
Republican, of New York.
Mr.. Culkin charged further in a
House speech that the shipbuilding
trust has been the moving factor in
much OF the miShandling of the pro-
gram, and that it has menaced the
American merchant marine from the
beginning.
The New York legislators talk was
followed by an appeal from Rep
reSentatlve RamSpeck, ranking
Democrat of the House Merchant
Marine Committee, that judgment
be withheld until his committee had
had time to complete an investi-
cation authorized by the House and
could furnish facts with which to
form an intelligent opinion"
Mr. Culkin said his suspicious re-
garding the Maritime Commission
had been aroused in the first in
stance by the outrageous" cancel
lation of the Higgins contract.
Under the New Orleans Ship
builders plan, he added, 100000
man-days would have been saved
on the construction of each vessel.
This procedure would, of course,
destroy the shipbuilding trust" MI.
Culkln alleged. The contract was
Cancelled on the theory that there
was shortage of steel Mr.. Nelson
Of WPB denies this, and other large
yards were brought into being even
after the cancellation.
Enlarging on his charge concern
ing the ugly duckling," or Liberty
ships, Mr.. Culkin said it is known at
present that they are handicap in
the conduct of the war, and that he
had been advised by coastwise, inter-
coastal and Atlantic operators that.
because of slowness and lack of
stability they would be of no value
in the postwar period
1t is my opinion" he said of these
ships, that the program is mistaken
and adverse to the successful prose-
cutlon of the war and that they will
not be worth dime dozen when
the day of peace comes. I should
perhaps say that they are much
slower than the slowest submarine.
and some of the new underseas boats
run twice as fast today"
He added that it has been esti-
mated one C-3 ship with speed of
approximately 18 knots is more use
full from the standpoint of trans
Atlantic carriage than five of the
Liberty type, with a speed of 71a
knots in a head sea.
Among other charges by Mr.. Gull
kin was that Joseph w. Powell. an
official of the Bethlehem Corp. had
been placed by shipbuilding firms
in his present capacity as adviser in
chief on shipbuilding to Secretary Of
the Navy Knox. and that he exer-
cises a powerful influence over the
Maritime Commission and all naval
construction.

Conferees Reach Accord
On Wire Firms Mercer
Py the Associated Press.


Senate and House conferees have
agreed on terms of a bill to permit
the merger of Postal Telegraph Co.
with Western Union.
The principal point of conten-
ton. job security for affected en-
ployes, was adjusted yesterday in
this manner:
Senior employees, employed before
March l, 1941, may not be dis
charged, except for cause, for four
years from the date of approval OF
the merger. Junior employees, hired
since March l, 1941, may either be
retained for the same period of time
after the merger as they served be-
fore, or they may be dismissed with
one months severance pay for each
year employed.
The final adjustment represented
a compromise between the two
houses.
The bill continues the power OF
the Federal Communication Com
mission to establish a preferential
rate for Government messages, now
60 per cent of the regular rate.
The merger is being pushed be-
cause the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. has advanced Postal SO 1000 OO(

The order of last Saturday freez-
ing the price of fluid milk to pro-
ducers at the highest level in jan
uary, Mr.. Holman asserted, will re-
suit in "a scarcity of milk"
'Rationing will be inevitable and
dangerous" he testified.
He said farmers were caught in
a squeeze" with feed and labor
costs rising and cant afford to stay
in business"
The OPA order, he added, cant
be enforced, and what's the use Of
having an order that can't be
policed."
Mr.. Holman said 1943 production
goals call for 122 900 900, 900 pounds
of milk, but with best of conditions
we will be lucky to produce 118,000,-
900 900 pounds"
Effect of the OPA order, he
asserted, will be to reduce produc-
ton further by several billion
pounds. The Official estimated con-
sumption of milk this year was
140 900 100000 pounds, he said.
Farmers and State milk officials
from 16 States met here Monday
with OPA officials and afterward
demanded that the order be

port of OPA measures, saying that

dent Monday.
Whether new cabinet would be

would retain Premier Rangeu. his
former understudy as head of the
Bank of Finland, who enjoys his un-
questioned confidence.
A majority of the old ministers
are expected to be asked to retain
their posts. but the departure OF
Foreign Minister Rolf Whiting seems
certain, and Social Minister K A
Fagerholm is overdue at his new jot
as director Of the state alcoho
monopoly.
Foreign quarters do not anticipate
radical changes III Finnish policy
and political sources take issue with
those who see Finland as ripe for q
separate peace. They point out that
the country's sole war aim OF
security is not yet realized.
The Social Democratic party's
manifesto declaring that Finland
should be free to withdraw from
hostilities whenever it is deemed
that national independence has been
secured is described as merely q
restatement of the old story of Fin
lands fighting private war.
Widespread approval. however is
given the clause in the manifesto
urging removal of hindrances tc

Shoe Rationing Order
Brings B|ackout 10
Mexican Sandal Trade
Huuruches Merchants in
Los Angeles Colony
Foce Bleak Outlook
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. - Cobblestoned
Olvera street, picturesque Mexican
market place nesting in the shadow
of the old Plaza Church, didn't
suffer much from the dimout.
Its lights, chiefly Pickering can
dies, always were dim. Tire and
gas rationing reduced tourist travel
to this little spot of Old Mexico,
and there were discouraged con-
ferences among its shopkeepers. But
now the blow really has fallen.
Shoe rationing strikes directly at
the heart of the trade in huaraches
those woven sandals of rawhide
throngs, imported from Mexico,
duty-paid, which caught on a
couple of years ago as sportswear
novelty over the Nation. Owners
of a dozen stalls in Olvera street
depended upon them for liveli-
hood.
OPA Rules They're Shoes.
Ration stamp IT must now ac-
company the money in any pur-
chase Of pair of shoes. But who,
asks Sonora Beatriz Preciado, will
use the stamp for pair of hua-
raches? Her friend, Simona Cabal-
lero, in the next stall shakes her
head sadly.
Christine Sterling, who watches
over the little colony they call her
the Mother of Olvera street"), took
the problem to Paul Barksdale
D'Orr iii the OPA Office. Perhaps
these merchants could just dispose
of present stocks and import no
more, she proposed. But Mr. DOT
said no; huaraches have full leather
soles, cannot be classed as house
| slippers. Rationing must be ap-
piled.
"Why Not Give Them Away?'
Then the little street, which sell
dom remains gloomy for long, got
an idea. If huaraches could not be
sold without ration stamps (Which
meant they practically couldn't be
sold at all, why let them get shop
worn on the shelves?
Why not, suggested one trades
man, give them away, If they can't
be sold?
But here again Mr.. D'Orr stepped
in with an emphatic no
Shoes can no more be given
away than they can be sold with
out the rationing stamp" he de-
creed. ITS too bad, but the Olvera
street merchants will just have to
keep their shoes unless they can
sell them under the rationing plan.
