plan. They may choose from mem
bers of the Michigan Medical Serv-
ice, an organization of doctors who
have been treating civilians under a
group medical care plan.
Veterans will be cared for in their
own communities. When the hoSpi-
tai plan is approved they may be
hospitalized in their community hos
pitals provided these belong to the
Statewide participating group.
Physicians fees have been stand
ardized and will be paid by the Vet
erans' Administration. More than
400 are on an approved list
Federal law specifies that veter-
ans with disabilities not traceable
to military service can be treated
only If space is available for them
in Veterans Administration institu-
tions and they have no money with
which to pay private physician.
For that reason they are ineligi-
BILE to participate in the Michigan

there is a close relationship be-
tween employer and employees.
The other amendment would In
crease the scope of the courts in
reviewing the facts of any cases
brought to them by the FEPC. It
provides that the commissions find
tngs of fact shall be conclusive
only when supported by substantial
evidence.
Evening star., 1945-12-29

Timing their action for the be-
ginning Of the campaign year in
order that it may register in the
minds of the voters most affected,
the Republicans expect to bring the
FEPC bill out on the floor of both
houses Immediately after Congress
reconvenes The situation Is per-
feet for their purpose, which is to
make certain that nobody shall fail
to understand that they are the
true friends of the minority groups
In this country, the Jews, the Ne
groes and Mexicans.
In the House it Is necessary to
force the bill out of the Rules Com
mittee, now dominated by Southern
Democrats opposed to its considera-
tion. A petition to this end has
been circulating for many months
but still needs 60 more signatures
Nearly all the Northern Democrats
have signed, but only third of the
Republicans. Members of that party
have been frank in admitting they
have held off because they felt they
would not receive due credit for the
passage of the bill.
Now, however, Republican Leader
Joe Martin has given his word that
his followers will put enough names
on the petition Immediately after
the holiday to take the bill out of
the hands of the Rules Committee.
This action is sufficiently unusual
and dramatic to obtain the head
lines and make sure that credit goes
where credit is due. The votes to
pass the bill itself are assured.
In the Senate both Republican
and Democratic sponsors of the leg
islation have given notice of their
purpose to force action when ses-
sions are resumed January IA. The
Republican group which proposes to
see the issue through is a formi-
dable one, including Senators
Morse, Ball, Smith, Young, Know
land, Tobey and Aiken. They are
competent to keep the fight from
going unnoticed, but just to make
it perfectly clear who it is that has
been holding up congressional ac-
ton. the Man Bilbo will be on hand
The Lord willing, I shall be
here" the Mississippi Democrat an
nounced to the Senate when Sen
ator Chavez for the Democrats and
Morse for the Republicans gave
notice of their purpose to move to
take up the bill.
That means a filibuster and lots
of headlines. 1t means an oppor-
tunity for the Republicans to drive
home day after day the fact that
the Democratic leadership has al
lowed relatively small group of
Southern Democrats to repudiate
the Presidents pledge to the mi
norities. 1t means, the Republicans
have reason to hope, the election of
Republican Congressman in a lot
of districts where racial discrimina-
ton is a live issue.
Incidentally, it probably means
the enactment of the bill, since the
Republican group has agreed to lick
any f1libuster that may be attempt
ed, if it takes all winter.
Meantime, two amendments to
the Senate bill. calculated to make
it more acceptable to some who
now oppose it, have been drafted
by Senators Ball, Smith and Morse

nese women's political party was
inaugurated formally today and it's

pate in the forthcoming election.
known as the New Japan Wom-
ems Party" the organization will
offer several candidates for Office,
one of them party organizer, Miss
Katsuko Miyato, head of a Tokyo
medical institute. No platform was
announced.
Although proclaiming themselves
a political party, the women of this
group and some 80 other assorted
societies are more like small political
organizations of varied Influence.
Program Outlined.
Meanwhile, major parties are
making overtures for the women s
vote. The Social Democrats have the
most definite program, organized by
wives of party leaders. The program
advocates equal rights for work,
wages and education, the abolition
of all laws and customs restricting
women's rights and the prohibition
of prostitution.
These were other new signs of the
times in the changeover of Japan:
The government completed the
draft of measure aimed at lifting
0,000, 100000 yen (more than S.
500 100000 from those who profited
by the war.
Men who fought that losing war
for Japan were among more than 300
persons arrested during the past "a
hours for petty crimes in Tokyo.
They complained they robbed be-
cause they were homeless and des-
perate.
The Welfare Ministry prepared in
structions that nationality, religion
and social status henceforth will not
affect employment, wages or work
ing conditions of workers.
Tax Measure Is Ready.
The war profits tax measure
which will be submitted to Gen. Mac
Arthur for his approval before it
passes through legislative processes,
is far-reaching. Previously a gov
ernment spokesman said it would be
imposed on the Emperor and his
household.
AS yet another sign of the times,
an imperial ordinance was ready for
issuance today providing penalties
for infraction of MacArthur-d die
tated measures prohibiting instruc-
ton in all forms of aircraft and
flying. Maximum penalties are three
years imprisonment and a fine of
5000 yen more than 5000.
The infractions of former service
men extended into the officer class
Kyodo News Agency said today that
police are holding the staff officers
of division, including two colonels
at Shimonoseki for failure to sur
render war material Among unsur-
rendered equipment were 27 airplane
cannon and $4,000 rounds of ammu-
milton.
