Early Action Promised
To Remedy Conditions
AT Industrial Home

The Board of Public Welfare to-
day promised early action to remedy
conditions at the Industrial Home
School, 2453 Wisconsin avenue NV
Chairman Edgar Morris, ST., an
nounced the board ordered its Insti-
tutions Committee to make a thor

committee of the Council of Social
Agencies calling for immediate i'm
provement in program and person.

The report described the person.
mel as subStandard and complained
that the children get little train
ing.
Board members agreed that the
criticisms were constructive and or
dered its committee to report back
at the next board meeting on what
recommendations can be put into
effect at this time, he said.
The board meets regularly on the
last Wednesday of August, but it
may met and act sooner on the
Industrial Home School, he added.
Asks for Further Survey.
Later, the Board Committee went
over the report in detail and asked
for further survey of the situation
by the Department of Welfare, Fred
S. Kogod, a member of the COM
mittee, said.
Tonight, Ray L. Huff, director of
welfare, will meet with Paul Kirby,
assistant director, and Daniel Ahern,
superintendent of the school. The
meeting was called to arrange for
moving the school in November to
Macarthur boulevard. But the three
also will discuss what can be done
to improve the institution while it
still is on Wisconsin avenue, Mr..
Kirby said.
I'VE can do something now about
cleanliness" Mr.. Kogod said. Il
don't see why the building should
have reaches, even if it is 80 years
old"
The board committee wants addi-
tional information on several points
raised IN the report and Will meet
again next Wednesday to go over it,
Mr.. Kogod added.
Mr.. Huff commented that Juvenile
Court Judge Fay L. Bentley offered
"a very good idea" when she sug-
gested yesterday that steps be taken
promptly to raise salaries by re-
classifying positions at the school.
Emphasizes Time Factor.
The board already has requested

Commission on the subject, he said.

it will take time.
He said he would not like to fore
cast whether reclassification could
be completed in time. to request a
1916 supplemental appropriation for
salary increases.

 said the meat supply is rapidly ap- preaching the supply on hand in May, 1944, when meat points were very low. According to the Depart ment of Agriculture meat rationing can be ended when the supply is enough to give civilians 14O pounds per capita annually. A department survey shows that 145 pounds per capita will be available during the last three months of this year.
 Pork Scarce
 It was thought possible the off, cial denial might refer specifically to pork. Pork still will be very scarce this winter although there will be plenty of other meats.
 However, pork soon will be in the making again in large quantities, and so will bourbon whiskey, if the forecast of a bumper corn crop this year proves to be accurate.
 The Agriculture Department pre- dicted that this years corn produc- ton will exceed all expectations to reach 3,O6e, ,o9e, ,0oo bushels.
 Immediately officials promised that output of bourbon whiskey soon will be resumed. A green light probably will not be given distillers at once on the use of corn but by the end of the year bourbon may be back in full production.
 At the same time the way was paved for farmers to boost hog pro- duction again next year. With plenty of corn to feed, livestock pork production can once again go up, officials said.
 Feed Ample
 When the 1945 crop season got of to a faulty start, department off1- cials feared that feed rations would be skimpy. Now, with plenty of corn in sight as well as a large production of oats, barley and sor- ghums, the feed supply per animal promises to be the best in 25 years.
 The monthly survey of crops also brought good news for the hungry people of the world. The depart ment said that U. s. output of the four major food grains-wheat, buckwheat, rye and rice-will be 2,0OO,0 ,000 bushels bigger than in any other year.
 The crop reporting board said that excellent weather in August raised the harvest prospects of nearly all crops. Decord or bumper production now is expected for corn, wheat, rice, oats, tobacco, soybeans, pears and potatoes.
 The board warned that too-early cold weather could nip some of the bright predictions. Nevertheless, earlier adversities due to cold, wet spring, local droughts and general delay of crop development have been almost entirely overcome.
 Crop output this year E likely to equal the previous records of 1942 and 194l.
 A continued plentiful supply of dairy products, and probably an in- crease in butter, was indicated by record milk production in the last month. The rate of egg production also established another record.

tential and bring the nation firmly under his control.
 His earlier decrees demanded the abolition of the Imperial General Staff by Thursday "Wednesday, EWT) and established strict cen- sorship over Japanese newspapers and radio broadcasts.
 It was obvious that MacArthur had stayed his hand in issuing his control decrees until he had sum- cient combat troops ashore to put down any hostility by the Japanese government or army.
 More than 100000 American troops fully equipped with tanks and other combat equipment d. ready were ashore in the greater Tokyo area and thousands more were landing from ships and planes every hour.

 Radio Tokyo said It. Gen Rob- ert Eichelberger, commander of the Eighth Army, has forbidden his troops to center, occupy, descrate or commit other unlawful acts" at the Imperial Palaces or Temple Shrines.
 The troops also were prohibited from entering private homes and public baths and flor the time be- ing' were urged not to enter the aters or playhouses, the broadcast said.
 The Japanese Domei Agency said an advance party of 11O American officers and men had arrived at Sendai in northweast Honshu to prepare for occupation ow that area.
 MacArthur's announcement that he had ordered the arrest of Tojo was brief and to the point:
 '"The supreme commander for the Allied powers has directed that ex- Prime Minister Hideki Tojo be at once taken into American military custody"
 11e hIIeSCS OA OtAACA OaPoASSC we criminals were expected to follow quickly, possibly including mem- bers of Tojo's cabinet, members ot the imperial general staff and other high -placed Japanese.
 Others Involved There was considerable specula- ton over the ultimate fate of Ma imoru Shigemitsu, Tojo's foreign minister as well as Foreign Minister in the present government. Shige- mitsu signed surrender document; aboard the U. s. s. Missouri Sept. as personal representative of Em- peror Hirohito and the Japanese government.

 Ask for his score: You have prob ably run across him--the man who sorrowfully declares that he hates the idea of another war, but that his study of the world situation forces him to conclude that we'll have to fight Russia If you run across him again, ask him for his score.
