tory via Siberia.
As soon as / arrived in Tokyo ]
began to notice an atmosphere OF
fear and dread in the foreign en-
bassies and legations such as l had
never seen in diplomatic circles be-
fore, even under wartime condi-
tions. Strangely enough, this exist
ed among the Germans and Itali.
ans as well as among the repre-
sentatives of neutral nations.
1t was caused partly by the
constant spying and surveillance
of the Japanese police, partly
by the annoyances and insults
to which all Europeans were
subjected when they went into
the streets quite unlike the Jap
anese pOliteness of former
times), and partly by the Of
fensive arrogance of Japanese
officialdOm, fed fat with the
great early victories.
l saw an official of the italian
Embassy get into a taXicab at the
railroad station. Three Japanese
came along and wanted the cab
They reached in, yanked the Italian
diplomat out, punched him and got
into the cab.
Polite to Russians
The Russians, who had large
diplomatic staff, kept very close to
themselves within the spacious
quarters of their embassy. When
ever they ventured out, they were
closely followed by numbers of
japanese police. But the Japs,
mindful of Russian air bases with
in range of Tokyo, were careful to
preserve a correct attitude toward
their powerful neighbors.
The Japs held the Italians in
contempt because of the failures of
the Italian troops in Europe. The
Italians feared the Japs, and sew
eral of them told me that if they
lose in Europe and thus become
useless to the Japanese military as
allies, they believe the japanese
will massacre them.
The attitude of the Germans in
Tokyo toward their Japanese allies,
the honorary Aryans," is one of
mingled suspicion and dislike, which
verged toward uneasiness and fear
as Germany began to suffer mill
tary reverses in Russia and Africa.
Last fall there were three Ger
man raiders moored at the main
pier in Yokohama harbor, near
Tokyo-one cruiser and two con-
verted merchant ships. There was
also, nearby, prize ship, captured
from the British. l saw many of
the German crew members from
these ships shortly before they
were preparing to sail.
Then, one morning, we heard a
series of explosions, heavy enough
to shake out windows. We got into
the embassy car and drove across
to Yokohama. The town was in
confusion, with much shattered

NLRB Activity
Curbed by House

WASHINGTON, July 2 (FP) =
House July voted 169 to IL to
reapprove an amendment to that
Labor-Federal Security Bill, HR
2935, drastically curbing the activi-
cities of the NLRB.
- The amendment halts NLRB jur-
isdiction over all contracts between
employers and employees which have
been in existence for three months
and allows the NLRB only 80 days
in the future in which to take for
NAL action against contracts once
they have been posted.
The outlined procedure, accord
ing to an NLRB spokesman, would
put a crimp in the boards ma
chinery which has been carefully
built up over many years.
'In order to get under that 90
day deadline the board will have
to issue complaints without having
made the usual thorough prelim-
mary investigation which it prides
itself on and which saves time and
money" he said. "And in m t
cases where there is no union to
= challenge an obviously unfair con-
tract, there just won't be any
remedy"

ships, and tanker fueling them

ship and another ship were on fire
There was intense anger that
evening among the German coll
Ony in Tokyo. 1t was freely
charged at the German Club,
that "this is the jealous rivalry
of the Japanese, who are envious
of the Reich, and have sabo-
tagged our ships and killed our
sailors"
About so German sailors were
killed, 16O injured, and many more
missing. No word of this disaster
was allowed to get into the Japa-
nese press. What the true origin
of the explosion was l was never
able to find out. Some japanese of
ficials told me that two American
submarines had crept into the har-
Dor and torpedoed the ships. But
the next day they realized that this
cast doubt on the invincible Jap
navy, so they changed their story
to Chinese communist spies and
saboteurs.

COLUMBUS, O., July 6.-Re-

Williams of the Ohio Rationing
Board in a letter to the Ohio Di-
vision of Conservation and Ma

According to the rationing heads
ruling, holders of A cards may
accumulate their coupons for a
period of two months, which would
make possible a round trip of 480
miles or 24O miles each way.
Holders of B and C gasoline ra-
tioning coupons who must reduce
their driving for personal purposes
to 80 miles per month, may also
save up their coupons for a two
month period to make total of
180 miles a round trip, or 80 miles
one way.
Trying to Prevent Abuse
Mr.. Williams pointed out that
the rationing boards were trying
to prevent the abuse of gasoline
rations by people who secure guam
titles of gasoline far in excess of
their actual needs for occupational
purposes He stated that he believed
that if people would use the gas
ration allotted them in fair man.

Fishing With
Bill Watt

With the bass season on now
there is talk of plenty of bass, but
so far no one in our circle has come
up with anything like successful
take. There undoubtedly have been
some but we have not heard of
them. Anglers who trekked into
Michigan tell of most of the spots
being open for business this year
but have little to relate regarding
the catches.
The state conservation commits
sion at its monthly meeting this
week will confirm hunting regula
tions drawn up at the last session.
Full particulars will be announced
later.
RESTRICTIONS OFF
All restrictions are now off of
fishing in this state, with the ex-
ception of string limits, minimum
length, etc. With the fish begin
ming to feed more regularly now
that the weather has settled down
somewhat, there should be some
excellent sport for the fishermen
hereabouts.
The rivers and streams ha We
mostly cleared up. Lake Erie is
alive with fish and the boat liv-
cries around the islands, Kelley's,
Putin Bay, Middle Bass and the
Lakeside and Port Clinton docks
are taking out large parties of
J sport fishermen on the reefs, where
catches are bigger and better than
ever. The runs of wall-eyed pike
(pickereD in this section are eX-
ceptionally good right now.
BROKEN PROMISE
Emil, genial dispenser at the
thirst emporium in the hall on
Winthrop Street, is casting" to
find out where a promised creel
of fish offered him sometime ago
by Spicer angler has been stored
or lost. No names are mentioned
in the hope the missing fish will
: finally turn up. (Note: Perhaps
y a. went to a Golden Wedding
Rersary" too, Emil.)
- 9RRAN BILL
Tagging fish in Ohio has been a
practice for Is years. Recently an
interesting return showed up. An
adult channel catfish taken in Lake
Erie was released in Van Buren
Lake in Hancock County on April
29, 1910. 1t moved over through
Rocky Ford creek and down the
middle branch of the Portage and
on back to its original haven in
Lake Erie, where this 15-inch cat
fish was caught by a commercial
fisherman off Catawba Island OH
May 25, 1949. 1t had travelled 70
miles to return home.
The McCurran bill now pending
federal regulation of game and
in Congress and which proposes
fish on federally owned or con-
trolled properties is meeting with
opposition from sportsmen. The
thought is that state conservation
commissions now we'll organized
and operating at high efficiency
are better able to prevent needless
exploitation and set up regulations
thar 'eral agency.
