YMCA Reopens
English School

To help meet the American
Army's great need for interpreters
in Japan, the Young Mems Chris
tan Association of Tokyo has re-
opened its English language school,
according to information just re-
layed from Japan to Wilfred F.
Newell, Executive Secretary of the
Wyandotte YMCA. Already serving
as interpreters are many of this
schools pre-war students
Throughout the war all the move
mentS and writings of the Japanese
'Y' leaders were under the constant
surveillance of the secret police.
Their work was confined largely to
relief for aid raid victims, but they
successfully resisted strong govern
ment pressure to drop the word
Christian" from the Associations
name.
The Toyko " has now resumed
several activities, including forums
on world affairs, designed to give
japanese youth a Christian world
outlook and to help construct a new
Japan. Special attention will be
given to the spiritual and physical
regeneration of the thousands of
youth now returning home from the
battlefield and factories. No word
as yet has been received in Japan
as to the status of Association in
other cities, except that several
buildings were completely destroyed.
American troops will be invited
to use the swimming pool and gym
naSium in TOyko as soon as air raid
damages are repaired.
Established SIS years ago through
the help of the North American
YMCA's World Service program, the
japanese " movement, in its sub
Sequent growth to 1873 local Assoc
iationS, had constant American and
Canadian Y cooperation up until
Pearl Harbor. One North American
" representative. Russell L. Dur
gin, is now on his way back to
japan temporarily allocated to the
U. S. State Department as an ad-
visor to its delegation there.

LOCAL WOMEN GET
THOUSANDS OF
EXTRA RED POINTS

Every day, precious red points
are being paid to housewives who
turn in used fats to their butch
ers. Because this country is faced
with q possible fat shortage,
these used kitchen fats are even
more urgently needed to make
medicines, synthetic rubber, gun
powder, soaps, paints and a
hundred other essentials on the
battlefield and home front.
Every woman can help towards
final Victory by saving every
drop of used fats each time she
cooks. Even a spoonful is worth
salvaging. Won't you keep saving
until final Victory over both
Germany and Japan?

 ''1t was only by the Vichy police that we were tortured. TheS French police tortured us for whole days and nights. I spoke to them and they said they were brutal because they were convinced they were work ing in Frances interests.
 "One of my friends had nipple torn off the breast of Vichy police for failure to answer questions. The Vichy police did this because they thought Petain represented Frances interests"

ICOIllulQGQ dSC 1J that biennially monopolize the in terests of the state legislature. Con- tests over patronage, it was admit ted, have proved embarrassing to both Republicans and Democrats, and that a change in the method of naming judges was most desirable. The difficulty, however, lies in con- promising the conflicting views of the two major parties and individu- al leaders.
 No Legislature Criticism
 The four speakers spent 30 min- utes in arguing various features Of the setup. There was no criticism of the 1945 legislature which failed to reach an agreement on the judge ships and passed the power of ap- pointments to the governor. There was no fault found either with Gov ernor Baldwins election although it was pointed out that two or three men designated by him refused to serve. Some years ago the presiding chief executive of the state (Wilhur L. Cross) named one or two men who were in the cemetery" exclaim- ed one of the speakers.

T am not in any sense an orator, ' added the local barrister, but as l have noticed some of you gentlemen seem to agree with my suggestion l like to state that would be willing to tour the state and speak in your communities in favor of the plan. The comeback was: You will have to line up with Independent groups. feel sure that neither the Republican nor the Democratic party would sanction the program" commented one of the speakers. An other voice over the air said that 1t would be difficult to please the poll- ticianS.
 T am not in politics., concluded MT. Mascolo. T am in the habit ol putting all cards on the table. And it has so happened that my cards were used against me on certain oc- caSions."

 Some Dubious
 
 Two of the speakers agreed tha they were in favor of Judge Mas colo's suggestion, but were dubiou about it fitting into the present DO litical setup.
 It was also suggested during tn disclosure that the future governor of Connecticut to be free and inde pendent of political pressure shoul' be elected for single term Of si years. They could then name elf cient judges for the same perio without being hampered by politi clans.

Up to the last minute, he pro- tested vigorously against his expul- sion. He and his wife spent an un- easy night on a couch in a hangar at the airfield after their plane developed mechanical trouble as it was about to take off yesterday.
 He complained against leaving Spain "so precipitately" and sent a note to Spanish authorities pointing out that both he and his wife suf- fered from heart ailments.
 Laval was under indictment in France on a charge of high treason and also was wanted as witness in the trial of former Vichy chief of state, Marshal Henri Philippe Pe- tain.
 He said that Spanish authorities would have permitted his wife to remain in Barcelona but that she had preferred to accompany him.
 Its unfair what is being done to me-" he said. T don't understand why the Spanish government is de- livering me to my country"
 He appeared dejected. Alternately he puffed on cigarettes and sucked an orange.

GROWN DIARIES
 TO HOPE AGAIN AS PITCHERS WIN
By JOSEPH NOLAN United Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, May 3-(UP)-Manager Joe Cronin was willing to forgive and forget past pitching perform ances today after watching another of his Red Sox moundsmen turn :n a superb job to give the club its fifth straight triumph.
 The hero was rookie Jimmy Will son who shut out the Washington Senators 40 yesterday with a four hitter reminiscent of Tex Hughson at his best. Following close on the heels of masterful mound efforts by Rex Cecil and Dave Ferriss, Will sons victory rekindled the pennant fires which had been practically ex- tinguished by the SoX eight-game losing streak.
 Like his two predecessors, Wilson aided and abetted his own cause at bat with single and double, ac- counting for the first Boston run.
 One big inning-the eighth-gave the BosoX their margin of victory. Wilson opened with a single, George Metkovich was hit by a pitched ball, then Bob Johnson exploded a triple of the left field wall. The next two batters walked and out fielder Tom Mcbride followed with a two-run single to settle the issue.
 Nate Goes We'll
 But the Red Sox weren't the only ones getting the benefit of some good hurling. In Brooklyn, the veteran Nate Andrews curved the Dodgers into submission 3-1 to tighten the Braves grip on first division berth.
 In his initial nine-inning stretch of the season, Andrews held the Brooklynites to seven scattered hits and outfleld support helped him out of his few difficulties. Boston clinched the contest in the first inning when three walks and Tom my Holmes double produced a pair of tallies. Their other marker came in the eighth on hits by Butch Nle- man and Garden GillenWater.
