 Miss Hunt

Maintaining or discontinuing the two child care centers in Water bury $ . matter Go be put before the Board of Education. Miss Mar lon Hunt. chairman of the Child Came committee said last night. Eedernl funds for the centers under the Eanhann Act were suspended last Saturday by Major Gen. Philip B Fleming, Federal Works Agency Administrator.
 According to Miss Hunt and City Controller Neil Maloney, no official word has been received from Wash lugkcn on the discontinuance of funds scheduled to take effect mot later than" Oct. 31.
 A conference with authorities at the State Department of Education revealed that official word of the announcement of the Federal Works Administrator is being awaited Miss Pauline Moore, Kingsbury cen- ter director, reported.
 Miss Hume and Miss Moor said the cutting of of funds was so sudden no definite program has been decided upon. City funds are being made available to continue the centers at Kingsbury and Long Hili through the end of the year.
 Although a few mothers have withdrawn their children since the end of the war, Miss Hunt declared there are still wives of servicemen and others who need the facilities for their children.
 1t Is believed that the govern snent may help finance new pro- grams for those who still desire the nursery school services. The city may decide to finance the centers, if there Is a continuing need in the next few months.

Japanese Lndustrialists Doomed, Like Nazis

One of them has disappeared al. ready in the debacle, the upstart of the great family trusts-the Aikawa group which virtually monopoliSed the development of Manchuria and now stands to lose its $150. .000, 900 investments there.
 . Twenty years ago Aikawa was an unknown. Tn 10 years he was the fourth most powerful figure in Japan's financial empire. He heads the $150,U00, 900 Manchuria Indus trial Development company.
 Greatest and oldest of the finan- cial clans Is the Mitsui family the name means ''three wells"- which can trace it's roots to medieval Nippon. Baron Mitsui is easily worth $10O, COG, 900 in his own name and is one of the 10 richest men in this world.
 Controlled Business
 The Mitsui group controls IA per cent of all Japanese cotton busi- ness, 15 per cent of its rayon, 78 per cent of its paper, IT per cent of it's cement, IT per cent of it's mining, II per cent of its coal shipping, 5 per cent of its electro chemicals and 5 per cent of it's engineering.
 Second only to the Mitsui family is the Mitsubislli Trust. This is not a family but trade name. meaning three lozenges," and the family involved is named Iwasaki. Its money comes from banking, shipping. insurance and warehous- ing. It controls 47 per cent of all Japanese wheat business, 19 per cent of its sugar, IT per cent of its beer, and 37 per cent of all Japanese shipping.
 Emperor Wealthy
 The Sumitorno family is compara- lively restricted in it's investments but controls 20 per cent of all warehousing, 10 per cent of all trust investment business and 32 per cent of the wires and cables.
 The fortune of Emperor Hirohito and the imperial family Is tremen- dous and has recently been esti- mated at 1 per cent of all the wealth in Japan.
 Hirohito's fortune was known to be widely scattered but contains much Tokyo real estate, as well as mines, shipping and industry.

AN@-e~-S0~sF
 The doom of the industrial and financial "emperors" of Japan is certain, regardless of the fate of Hirohito. Article I of the Pots- dam peace formula specified that those "who have deceived and mis- led the people of Japan into em- barking on world conquest" must be eliminated for all time.
 That applies to the war lords. But it also fits exactly the influential and authoritative Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and Aikawa families and trusts. Those four groups hold the control of Japanese finance and in- dustry, shipping and farming in their tight-fisted and ambitious con- trol.

Present indications are that a

the floor at the opening whistle.
This lineup would include two let

monogram wearers, an indication of
the keen nature of the bidding for
places on the team.

first-team candidates there will be

CLARK GABLE was little differ
~ ent from any other small town
boy. Born in Cadiz, Ohio, in 1900,
and later living in Hopedale, Ohio,
population 500, Clark Gable was a
regular American boy, fond of the
outdoors and all sports. Mother
less from the time he was seven
months old, he was raised by his
grandparents until his father re-
married. He held a deep love and
respect for his stepmother.
Like any other normal American
boy, Clark Gable was not sure what
position he would like to hold in
life. He thought for awhile that he
might be an architect, and later
he studied medicine at night school.
Ambitious but poor, he had to work
from the time he was seventeen
years old, and his jobs were as va
ried as his opportunities. He was
time-keeper in a rubber factory,
call boy in a theater, an oil driller,
telephone linesman, surveyors S
assistant and lumberjack. Clark
Gable might have been anything but
a motion picture actor.
He became a star by travelling
the hard road of theatrical stock
companies and motion picture ex-
ira, overcoming many disappoint-
ments, until he reached the Ipinna-
Gle in "It Happened One Night"
which won the Motion Picture
award for the best picture of 1884.
