city of Billings without a single
business building that has not been
almost completely destroyed, and
with none of the private homes
undamaged if not completely burned
or blown up. From what | have
seen and heard, the favorite Jap
method of destruction consisted of
putting several drums of gasoline
and some high explosives in a build
ing and then setting it off. What
was not blown up would burn up.
The power, water and phone sys-
TENS are still to be put back into
operation.
The majority of the streets are
fairly easily cleared by using bull
dozers, which push wreckage into
what is left of the buildings beyond
repair.
Despite the present condition of
the business district, it is possible
to see why Manila was known as
1.-THE Pearl of the Orient" Some
of the most modern architecture 1
have ever seen was right here. The
"Jai Alai" was, at one time, one
of the largest night clubs and gamb-
ling houses in the world. 1 have
merely passed by and never stopped
to examine it carefully, but it was
three stories high and had lots of
glass bricks, chromium pillars and
glazed tiles, with all corners round
ed. 1t is still very impressive. The
most beautiful building and one of
the lucky few to escape with little
damage is the Manila Metropolitan
opera house. l can think of no
building to compare it with as to
size. The outside is finished with
glazed designed tile. A cafe of the
same type was next to it for the
intermission business.
/ have spent several Sundays at
the "barrio" of my house boy. The
Land division here is a holdover
from Spanish times. The surface
is divided into provinces, the prov
inces into towns and the towns into
"barrios." The "barrios" are US
ually a mile or more from the town

My first Sunday afternoon off

THIS ISN'T SOCIALISM

Lincoln, addressing a deputation of working men, stated,
THE strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family
relation should be one uniting all working people OF all nations
and tongues and kndreds, nor should this lead to a war upon
uropertv or the owners of property. Property is the fruit of
labor, property is desirable; is a positive good in the world.
That some should be rich shows that others may become rich
and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise
Let not him who is homeless pull down the house of others,
but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by
example assuming that his own shall be safe from violence
when built"

This theme for Fathers Day has

one for the holiday by Mrs. John

founded Fathers Day in 1910. Mrs.
Dodd organized a hometown cele-

R. J. Thomas Requests
Probe With View to
Antitrust Charges
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Dec. 3.-The C1C
United Automobile Workers to-
day asked Attorney General
Clark to investigate General Mo-
tors Corp. with a view to anti
trust prosecution, contending
GINS control of a large part OF
the supply of fuel pumps for the
industry constitutes monopoly
The request was made by r. j.
Thomas, president of the UAW-CIO,
in telegram which said that con-
troll of a single vital item gives Gen
eral Motors Corp. control over its
competitors that is contrary to the
public interest"
About 225, 1000 General Motors en-
ployes are idle in 10 plants in a
Nationwide strike by the union to
enforce its demand for a 80 per
cent wage increase within the cor
poration's present price STRUCTURE.
Cites Wilson's Letter.
Mr.. Thomas IN his telegram cited
letter by C. E. Wilson, GIN presi-
dent, in which GIN offered to reopen
its parts plants to supply other au-
tomobile manufacturers only. The
International PAW-C1O accepted
this offer only to have some promi-
nent locals oppose the plan.
The Justice Department In
Washington said the request will
be referred to the Antitrust Di-
vision and that a thorough in
vestigation" will be made. The
department refused further COM
ment.
Earlier, Mr.. Thomas, noting Wig
orous objections from Detroit and
Flint locals, said GIN workers would
decide for themselves whether they
wish to return to their jobs while
strike is in effect.
Mr.. Thomas accepted the cor
poration's proposal in behalf of the
union Saturday night. However, he
said in letter to Mr.. Wilson that
the international would have to clay
the facts before the various GIN
local unions which may be in
volved."
Riot and Bloodshed Feared.
The greater Flint Industrial
Union Council, with a membership
of $4,000, adopted a resolution de-
claring a back-to-work movement
by some employees would destroy the
strikers morale and might resuelt
in riot and bloodshed."
Robert Carter, chairman of the
Strike Strategy Committee of the
AC Spark Plug local at Flint, tele-
graphed Mr.. Thomas that a partial
return to work would lead to trou-
BILE and probably violence on the
picket line"
Kenneth T. Forbes, JAW regional
director, said no formal action had
been taken at Saginaw, Mich, an
other GIN center, but added he de
tected a definite note Of dislike" for
the plan among workers there.
Mr.. Thomas hastened to correct
