Strikers DEFY
Union Orders

Detroit. Sept 14-AP-The $500
employees OF the Kelsey-H Hayes
Wheel Company continued their
three weeks strike today despite
an ultimatum from their inte'na-
tional union officers to return to
work by p. m. (EWT) today.
Company officials said "a large
number of workers" gathered out
side the plant gates when the first
shift was scheduled to report this
morning but none entered the build
ings.
The executive board OF the Unit
ed Automobile Workers (CIO)
which was in close touch with the
strike situation, announced it would
proceed with disciplinary action
against the strikers this afternoon
unless a large number OF them
showed up for work"
The international board issued
the back-to-work directive Wednes-
day night. advising the strikers to
submit TO arbitration their dis
pute over discharge of three minor
union officials.
At Windsor, 10000 production
workers OF the Ford Motor Com
pany remained on strike and com
pany officials asserted that pickets
prevented office workers from en-
tering the plant today.
In Detroit. more than $500 Ford
employees were idle because a short
age of parts from the Kelsey-Hayes
plant forced a shutdown OF the trac-
tor production line at Highland
Park and some departments at the
Ford Rouge plant.
Also closed were two plants o..

In early summer about 400 bomb

officials said, by the end Of the

END OF JAP RIA

Three current headlines on Japan have more
connection than appears. They are: Hirohito
Visits Macarthur, May Abdicate. New Jap La
Dor Party May Win First Election. Russia
Criticizes Macarthur, Wants Hand in Tokyo
The Emperor's voluntary call on the Su-
prene Commander is symbolic of revolution
IN official Jap technique if not in actual atti-
tude Nothing like it has ever happened before
in Jap history. Though it is what an American
would take Tor granted, to the Japs it was
untnlnkable-the divine being humiliates him
sell before foreign master! Less than fort
night ago the Emperor was still posing as an
untouchable above and beyond the defeat and
occupation-and getting away with it in the
eyes of the Japs.
Why the change? Undoubtedly because Gen.
OF Army Douglas Macarthur has o,1tsmarted
the Jap strategists again. They had hoped he
would be either so soft that they could con.
tinue control under the occupation, or that he
would play into their hands by the other ex.
IRENE OF making martyr of the Emperor.
ne mas done neither. In surprisingly short
Tune, and without violence, he has consolidated
Allied control, demobilized most Of the jap
forces, imprisoned leading militarists and war
criminals. Gen. Macarthur is now master in
| 1act as well as name. The Emperor and the
old ruling caste must now serve Allied policy.

Editorial Comment
COMMON THIEF

General Macarthur, taking over the banks
in Japan, including the big one that is some.
what similar to our Federal Reserve, is de.
ternined that the loot shall be returned to its
rightful owners
In the end, Japan is getting what any COM
mon rogue does-arrest, search and removal
of what was stolen
The Nipponese started the war in order to
steal, as most wars have begun Like Ger
many, Japan coveted others possessions and
went out to take them. The Japs and Germans
wanted land, money, food and slave labor
They became gangster thieves, sneak thieves
and all varities of robbers.
It adds up, at least as always it has-the
robber is in Jail, his own land gone, hungry
and cold, while the officers search for and
find the stolen goods.
There has been in the past great deal OF
nonsense said Of the glory Of war but students
of history find that most of them began as
plain thievery. Aggressor is simply another
name tor thief.-Charlotte Observer.

A Community Building

News that the Federal Works Agency has
set aside $751;, 900 for construction and $28. 900
for plans OF a community building in Whining
ton. stirs hope that 4 long cherished dream
NAV be advanced on the calendar Of proba-
bilities.
It does not mean that work can start i'm
mediately, or even soon, not only because the
Marine hospital site, on which it would be
built, is still under lease to the War Depart
ment, but because there has been no public
expression on the plans as revised.
The city administration is understood in
tending to take no final step on the building
itself until it has obtained cross-section of
opinion both on the plans tentatively adopted
and on what changes, if any, are considered
important by the public. This naturally will
require time, but is decidedly advisable.
The Star-News is informed that present
plans contemplate building with two main
sections One would be hall with sloping
floor and large stage for conventions, con-
certs, lectures and other non-atheletic gather
ings The other would have a gymnasium,
large enough for indoor competitions, and also
provide floor space for military company
drills. A gallery would seat a fair-sized spec.
tator audience, and there would also be a
niedium-sized stage for events attracting
smaller audiences.
In broad way, it definitely is a commun-
ity project. As part of great recreation cen
ter which would embrace the property now
in the Robert Strange playground and the Ma
rine hospital site, it would be a great asset
to the city and all southeastern North Caro-
lima.
The Star.News feels that, in the present
stage, the city's intention to carry the project
to the public to composite opinion both Of
it's merits and its needs, is the essence of wis
dom.

Another Asset Available

One of the decisions residents of this Sec
tion of the Old North State should make is
what they propose to do about increasing the
timber resources of the region Throughout the
war period there was less wasteful cutting
and burning of standing trees, but at the
same time there was no concerted program
for increasing the stand with the purpose OF
acquiring an asset OF inestimable value after
a few years.
The time is ripe for such program now
drafted by owners OF land adapted to pine
tree culture, and the program should provide
for careful feeling only OF such trees as are
ready for the mill as well as for extending the
growing acreage. If this is done southeastern
North Carolinians will have another cash crop
which will require little attention from the
owner beyond seeing that fires Go not destroy
it and when cutting time comes that only the
proper trees are given the axe.
An Albanian who accumulated great
wealth in coal bought huge tract of land
some miles inland from Sarasota, Florida,
several years ago and set out to determine
what crops could be cultivated on the variety
of soils within his domain to best advantage.
Among his experiemhs was the growing OF
pine trees, all kinds of them, in all kinds of
soil not obviously good for vegetables and
flowers He employed an expert, a man who
knew pines from mast to timber, and told
him to give his whole time to nursing some
hundreds of acres of seedlings and learn which
varieties did best under all conditions.
From the amateur viewpoint they all did
we'll but the expert will tell you which vari-
cites did best under varying soil and climatic
uncertainties.
Without such an s'angel'' TO nurse the in
lustry hereabouts it is still possible for own
ers to unite, employ an expert and the neces-
sary Watchmen to keep vandals away and
have extra money in the bank by and by
through developing an industry that has been
sadly neglected in the past.

Not So Spry Now

The Grand Army of the Republic has just
held its annual reunion, in Columbus, Ohio.
The boys are not as spry as they used to be.
The new commander, Hiram R. Gale of Seat
tie, is SO. His vice commander, John Crate,
Ohio's department commander, is 100 and the
junior vice commander. T. A. Penland of
Portland Ore, is SO. The reelected chaplain,
Robert M. Rowland Of Ripley. NY. is 101.
1t used to be lark to attend reunions. Now
it is an adventure the outcome Of which is
always in doubt. It's the same with the Con-
federate Veterans. Age has put its seal upon
the thin gray line too. But whether it is the
GAR. or the, U.C.V. there's many yarn to
spin, many battle to fight again, many IN
explanation on both sides OF the odds that
determined the outcome of engagements.
One Of the finest aspects of these gatherings,
is the way wearers of the blue and the gray
mingle and argue, usually with arms over
each others shoulders, cantankerors as q
Missouri mule, but buddies II they happened
to be the same battle.
For some years there has been a move.
n4ent to force abandonment of these reunions.
The veterans are feeble. The travelling alone
imposes heavy strain upon their failing
strength. But anyone who has watched their
faces as they greet their friends must agree
that to deny them their reunions would be
cruel beyond measure.

New Japanese Premier


The greatest obstacle to carrying out the
Potsdam terms in Japan has been that the
Japanese government has given lip service to
Macarthur while secretly clinging to the mi
htarist precepts long in vogue. Previous cabi-
net changes and the arrest of leaders have
had no effect on the attitude of the govern
nent as whole. Under cover, the old order
has continued and even grown holder in re.
cent days.
Because the situation had become hopeless
and might easily lead to further conflict It
became necessary to have different kind of
cabinet. Men of broader vision, non-militaris-
tic IN sentiment, were needed, if the process
OF Transforming Japan from feudalisn to
democracy is to be carried out whiting rea
sonable time.
The difficulty in forming such cabinet was
that liberal Japanese had for the most part
been imprisoned or kept under police surveil-
lance and until General Macarthur ordered
the doors of Japanese jails thrown back and
the police called off, none was available for
service.
Now the sitaution changes, hopefully for the
better, Hirohito has called upon the AGED
Baron Kijuro Shidehara to form new cab.
net He has been in the eye of the police for
fourteen years because he had the courage
to oppose the military. But he served as for.
eign minister twice in former cabinets. was
AMBASSADOR to Washington and to London. and
Is generally understood to have a clear I'm.
derstanding of western psychology.
His first public utterance was that he would
form liberal cabinet capable Ct cooperating
with the occupation authorities. Baron shide-
hara has given fifty years of his life to his
country's service, almost exclusively to for.
eign relations. It is not surprising that when
the warmakers were plotting the conflict re.
Gently ended he should have been forced into
retirement in view of his anti-military views.
It is to be hoped that he finds enough Japa.
nese of his own stamp to complete cabinet
If he does it is fair to think that occupation
will proceed with speed and reformation be
completed without unnecessary delay or dis
order.
