GI Estimate Sums Army

Washington, Sept. IS. (UP)- Some persons here believed today that there was more than met the eye in Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Pacific demobilization bomhshell.
 The War department hasn't been more surprised since Pearl Earbor The General said right out of the blue that, ia may be possible to reduce American forces in Japan to not more than 100000 men after six months.
 Less than A hours previously Maj. Gen. I. H. Edwards, assistant chief of staff, had estimated . force of 0O0. 900 for the entire Pacific theater. MacArthur'g estimate sharply curtails that and all pre- vious figures on Pacific needs. ln defense of the War department, ik is explained that its earlier Pacific estimates were made on the basis of MacArthurs own previous esti- mateo.

COP Candidates To Be Named; Independents Meet Tonight
Judge Be0Fdsley Seen as Likely Ccndidote

Republican Town committee and party members meet tonight at the XMCA in Q candidate choosing ses- sion designed as the first formal move of the COPS heavy artillery up to the political front of the citys Forthcoming first postwar election.
 Sources close to the leadership in. dicete that the party finds itself. ct this late date, aS linprepared as Europe ct the time of the first blitz.
 Harold Bensen, newly chosen town chairman, is said to have been saddled with Q difficult task in ob- taining candidates to run in oppo- sition to Mayor John s. Monagan and the Democratic administration.
 Atty. Harry s. Beardsley, former common pleas court judge is said to be the No. c. O. P. mayoraity choice at this time and will likely receive the nomination ct tonight's session. As reported here previously It. Col. John Brodie, former c. O. F. fire commissioner, just recently returned from overseas, declined the partys overtures toward his candidacy for the top elective post. Atty. Beardsley was defeated last year for the probate candidacy by incumbent Democrat Judge Patrick Healey. Also being mentioned is Charles Schmidt, former c. o. P. alderman.
 Similar overtures, made on c somewhat oblique angle, were ex. tended toward It. Col. Joseph Di. Pietro as Q candidate for tax col- lector in opposition to incumbent Atty. Humbert Mangini, 1t was learned lately. (Oblique, that is, be- cause It. Col. DiPietro Is still sta toned over in China and would not be available for the coming elec- tion.)
 Up to press time today . candi- date for this latter post had not been actually obtained and just who would accept 1t was not known. It is possible that Anthony Petrillo, local jeweler, who has been eIl- dorsed by the Italian American league for an aldermanic post may be asked to accept this nomination. It is expected, however, that the latter will decline.
 No definite candidate is said to have been chosen for the post of city controller in opposition to in- cunbent Democrat Neil ?. Maloney and 1t is possible that former AL derman and Fire Commissioner Bur ton s. walker will be drafted for the fob although the latter was de- feated by MT. Maloney in the last

Jops Hasten To Sove Face

Tokyo, Sept. 18.-(UP)-PremieS Naruhiko Higashi-Kuni said today that he believed Emperor Hirohito was deceived" by militarists during the period immediately preceding the Japanese attack on Pearl Har- bor.
 Higashi- -Kuni, under questioning by more than 50 Allied correspond entS, said he hoped to create a corn- mission to investigate and fix re- sponsibility for the war.
 He insisted that he did not know whether the emperor was aware that the attack on Pearl Harbor had been planned, or whether he was aware of atrocities committed by the Japanese.
 Shigenoro Togo Japanese foreign minister in late 194l, told the United Press at the same time that neither he nor Saburo Kurusu, his peace envoy to Washington, had advance knowledge of the Pearl Harbor as- sault.
 Pearl HarbOr Secret
 In another interview, Adm. Mit- sumaSa Yonai, Japan's present and six times past navy minister, said the attack CT Pearl zarhoT repre- sented the maximum effort of which the Japanese felt capable.
