Re-education Of Japs
For Democracy Urged
By Tokyo Newspaper
Changing Peoples Spirit
Held Vital to Success
Of Recognizing Nation

Re-education of the Japanese
people to fit them for place in
modern society was advocated
today by the prominent Tokyo
newspaper, Yomiuri Hochi, which
warned that without a change
in the peoples spirit and ade-
quate training democracy can
not be established"
THE basis for modern society is
democracy" Yomiuri added. "Un-
less repentance and allegiance are
based on democracy, it is futile 20
hope for political results from the
rebirth of the japanese nation"
The Potsdam declaration can be
carried out by mere passive observ-
ance of it's terms, the newspaper
advised in an editorial which was
broadcast from Tokyo and recorded
by the FEC, but there must be
Spontaneous and vigorous action"
in the forming of democratic gov
ernment.
The duration of occupation will
depend largely on how long it takes
the people to prepare themselves
for that kind of government, the
paper addeo.
Food Shortage Major Problem.
Reorganization of the Japanese
agricultural system and reconstruc-
ton of the railway system were
other pressing problems discussed in
the broadcasts.
The newspaper Asahi labeled the
food shortage as one of the nations
most pressing problems, and urged
the planned formation of new farm
ing villages in the reorganization OF
the agrarian system.
The Domei news agency, discuss
ing the need for improvement of
the Nations rail network, reported
that 1900 kilometers of track, 10
important bridges and 20 kilometers
of important key elevated tracks
had been destroyed by bombing
during the war.
Also destroyed were 900 locomo-
tives. 1900 passenger cars, 5000

Greatest Throngs
Since Prewor Days
Reported Here
(Picture on Page A-2.)

The greatest surge of traffic In
and about the Nations Capital
since preWar days taxed all
transportation facilities to the
limit today as Washington set
about celebrating a three day
holiday.
Even railroad and bus officials,
fully expecting a hectic week end.
were stunned by the jams that
poured into train and bus depots
yesterday afternoon and continued
to mount as added pleasure seekers
joined the big push today.
They were the thousands of Gov
ernment workers, servicemen and
ordinary private citizens who had
the same idea-to commemorate the
first peacetime Labor Day in four
years by getting away from 1t all.
Sightseers Pour Into City.
Not all the roads led away from
Washington. Incoming vehicles were
filled with visitors who wanted
glimpse of what the Capital looks
like after a population-swelling war.
Many of the visitors, just like
those headed for beach and noun
tain resorts, we're doomed to disap-
pointment. Hotels reported solid
booking over the week end. even as
resorts had rented all their facilities
far in advance.
State and highway police reported
the outpouring began yesterday,
mounting today to steady stream
of traffic through Maryland to the
shore resorts
Yesterday was one of the busiest
days the American Automobile As
sociation has had in recent years.
Officials were too swamped to count
the number of queries, but esti-
mated they arranged between 1900
and 1,500 trips over the counter and
answered 5000 telephone calls.

London Paper Urges
Forgiving Debts

By the Associated Press.

by Cne hSSOCldtcu TIceS.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-The FL
nancial News suggested today
that under the logic of Presi-
dent Truman's lease-lend re-
port the United States not only
should wipe out the lease-lend
bill, but also should repay Brit
ain the cash spent with the
United States to fight the war
before lease-lend began.
"Truman's message tacitly
recognizes that the war began
not in 1941 with lease-lend or
Pearl Harbor, but in 1885," the
editorial said.
eff the war is regarded as
having been the concern of the
United States from the outset
the figures for the earlier years
would clearly justify-on Presi-
dent Truman's basis-the sur
render by the United States of
the gold and securities used by
this country in paying for our
cash purchases in America be-
fore lease-lend."

House Committee
Studies Proposals TO
Lessen or End Draft
$1,000 Physicians Moy
Leove Military Service
By End of Yeor

The House Military Affairs
Committee met in executive ses-
sion today to speed considera-
ton of proposals designed to
lessen, if not remove, the need
for continuing the draft.
Suggested legislation to permit
the military and naval forces to
maintain necessary strength is
under consideration and speedy
action is to be sought if agreement
is reached.
Plan Increased Pay.
Proposals for special inducements
which would give voluntary enlist
ments full opportunity to meet the
needs, include increased pay, al
lotments and allowances, promo
tions and other benefits.
Prospects that more than 21,00o
physicians may be released to re-
turn to civilian practice before the
end of the year were seen In state
ments given the subcommittee by
spokesmen for the Army and Navy
yesterday.
Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk. Army
surgeon general, and Col. D. G
Hall, of the Division of Medical Per
sonnel, told the committee $4,000 OF
the Army's $4,000 doctors were to be
returned to civilian status by jan
uary /.
They also said 5000 OF the $4,000
nurses also were expected to be re-
leased.
1t was reported also the Navy is
expected to make 5000 of its ply
sicians available again to civilian
life during the next few months.
While the armed services were
seeking to encourage voluntary en-
listments, however, they kept plug
ging for continuance of the draft to
whatever point is necessary to main
tain sufficient strength.
Navy and Marine Corps officers
told the committee that those Serv-
ices do not believe recruitment alone
will keep them up to strength.
Start Recruiting Drive.
The committee was informed,
however, that draft calls can be cut
if enlistments exceed expectations
In the hope that this might be the
case, the Navy set in motion an all
out recruiting drive and joint
Army Navy board presented a pro-
gram of proposed inducements for
volunteers.
Several of the members of the
Military Affairs Committee had in
dicated a desire, if possible, to &C
on a straight volunteer basis for the
occupation armies and to cut out
the draft entirely. There was talk
in the committee also of asking
President Truman to explain to the
country why he thinks selective
service still is necessary.

SchweIIenbach Backs
KiIgore Bill, but Asks
Partial Repayment
Lobor Secretary Urges
Uniform Eligibility
To Overcome Stote Lows
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

Secretary of Labor Schwellen-
bach today approved the Kilgore
bill to use Federal funds to bring
State unemployment benefits up
to a maximum of $25 a week for
26 weeks during reconversion,
but recommended the States be
required to repay part Of the
Federal outlay.
Appearing before the Senate FL
nance Committee, the Labor Secre-
tary was the second high admins
tration eficial to suggest that the
States make some reimbursement
of the cost, which, it has been esti-
mated, may approach $4,000, ,OO0, 900.
Reconversion Director John W..
Snyder was the first to propose to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee three days ago that some
reimbursement might be advisable,
since the States have reserves ag-
gregating $1,000, 100000 earmarked
for unemployment compensation.
Urges Uniform Eligibility.
Secretary Schwellenbach also
recommended that the bill should
require a uniform eligibility rule to
overcome the clauses in some State
laws that disqualify workers from
benefits if they refuse any suitable
job that may be offered. The Sec
retary said it would be Illogical to
raise benefits to $25 a week and
then require man to take a job
at less than the benefit payment
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan made the point today
that the $20-a-week maximum now
provided for by States covering 79
per cent of the affected workers,
is equivalent to a wage Of $50 a
week, because unemployment COM
pensation is not subject to the 20
per cent withholding tax and other
deductions made from the take
home pay for worker.

Both Gen. Macarthur as supreme
Allied commander and Admiral
Nimitz as the official signatory of
the surrender document for the
United States will broadcast from
aboard the Missouri.
The men who will sign for Japan
have not been announced, but it will
have to be some one high in the
councils of the present government,
probably Prince Naruhiko Higashi-
Kuni, the premier, and representa-
tiveS of the imperial general staff.
From Washington, President Tru-
man will broadcast a speech of
about eight or nine minutes during
the ceremony, after which the
broadcast will be switched back to

by Gen. Macarthur and Admiral
Ninlitz
The White House also announced
that the President will take part
in a Commute radio program be-
ginning at 8 o'clock tomorrow night
to be conducted by the armed forces

The Presidents brief address on
the Sunday program will begin at

President to Stand BY.
Presidential Secretary Charles @.
Ross said he did not know whether
tonight's broadcast of the surrender
ceremony aboard the Missouri will
be a delayed and recorded affair
or whether it will be simultaneous
with the actual signing.
The Macarthur message to the
White House did not make this clear
The President will be standing by
in the broadcast room of the White
House listening in on the surrender
signing ceremony and waiting for
the signal for him to speak.
May Clarity VI Day Question.
1t was indicated at the White
House that Mr.. Truman's remarks
tonight would clarity the question Of
presidential designation of Vi
Day. There was no advance informa-
tion on what day would be SC
designated, although the circum-
stances of the twin broadcasts by
the President over the week end
provided a hint that tomorrow
Sunday-might be the day chosen
That would be September 2-Amer-
lean time-and the formal Japanese
capitulation is occurring on that
date on the Japanese calendar.
The VI date will have historical
significance only, and is not expected
to have any legal effect on wartime
statutes - and military service -
which will end or start to run out
only on a declaration by Congress
that the war is officially over.
