Builders Are Hopeful
On Outlook Here, but
Dealers Are Gloomy
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

Builders were more optimistic to-
day over prospects for substantial
building operations in the District
area in the near future than were
building materials dealers, who are
Inclined to take a gloomy view.
Both agreed. however, that the
i1ow of lumber and many other
construction materials must be
stepped up sharply if operations are
to be possible on a big scale within
a reasonable time.
A big question mark, they sug-
gested, was the outlook on the
troubled labor scene.
Nobody on Gods green earth is
going to be able to do anything
more than guess what our inventory
Is going to be three months from
now or six months from now, be-
cause there are too many factors
we don't know and can't know"
one large building materials dealer
said today.
IT strikes continue and spread,
there's no telling what the upshot
will be" he continued. That's prob
lem No. l. Aside from that, there's
still shortage of men to produce
materials. Another big factor is the
time it will take to get men out of
service and down to work"

AS to when inventories would

lation."
Another declared he was con-
vinced there wouldn't be adequate
supplies before late next year.
Lumber was described as Every
scarce in this area, with no hope
tn sight for early relief Of the Short
age. The small amount of lumber
on hand was said to be green. Floor
ing was practically nonexistent so
far as present stocks were con-
cerned.

Dental work." he said, but for the
next go days there probably won't
be a great increase in actual work
on the sites.
IF the materials were on hand
there probably would be number
Of builders who would plan to get
under way at once. and to this ex-
tent shortages are slowing up opera
ations.
But, meanwhile, many others
are lining up sites and attending to
all the other details, 50 that by the
time materials shortages ease off a

crystallized plans ready to 60"
Critical Items Seen.
Mr.. Henry added there was a
possibility that certain items, such
as builders hardware and brick,
might continue critical for even
longer than six months because Of
expanding demand, but said that
Evening star., 1945-09-29

local builders believed a better sup
ply Of lumber was "in the ofnng."
Meanwhile, the War Production
Board, recognizing the threat OF de-
lay in launching Nationwide build
ing operations, explained yesterday
actions taken recently to speed pro-
duction in number of critical
lines.
The agency pointed out that the
recent So per thousand increase in
the ceiling price Of brick and 80
cents ton on structural tile would
enable manufacturers to increase
wage rates and thus brighten man
power recruitment prospects.

dent Of the Structural Clay Prod

Shortages will slow it up bit, :"
an industry spokesman said, but

This spokesman pointed out that
not every one is ready to start con-

plans are completed he said he be-
lieved inventories would be in better
shape for increasing residential con-
struction.
One of the big worries at the mo-
ment, he pointed out, is the shortage
Of labor, but even here he indicated
he believed the shortage would be

jap Swordsmen Killed
Thousands Of Chinese
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
SINGAPORE, Sept. S.-Eye- wit
nesses with keen memories of Singa-
pores era of sadism said tonight
the japanese slew tens of thousands
of Chinese, whom they never could
rule, with expert displays of swords
manship and other barbaric cruel
ties.
One Chinese survivor estimated
nearly 100000 of his fellow-coun-
trymen were killed, while the for
mer physician to the Sultan of
Johore placed the figure as high
as 10000.
The japanese took pride in prac-
ticing looping off heads with single
two-handed strokes, slicing dag
onally downward from the nape of
the neck, the Chinese said. Other
Chinese said they witnessed execu-
tions in which rows of Chinese
were machine-gunned and fell into
common graves they had dug under
japanese prodding.

Russia Charges u. 5.
And Britain Demanded
Changes in Romania
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, Sept. 8.-The govern
ment newspaper Izvestia bluntly
charged today that without first
consulting Soviet colleagues United
States and British representatives in
Bucharest went to young King
Mihai of Romania and demanded
that DR.. Petru Groza's government
be replaced.
In an editorial splashed across
three-fourths of its front page the
Soviet journal warned: The stand
point of the Soviet public is clear
1t stands firmly on the principle of
not permitting interference in the
internal affairs of Romania, which
is a sovereign, independent state"
When King Mihai recently asked
Russia, 4frrsif1 and the United
States to assist in formation of a
new regime which all could recog-
nize, his action was not spontaneous,
Izvestia charged.
Really it was a straight case OF
Allied representatives in Bucharest
going to the king and telling him
their governments would not recog-
nize Romania nor conclude peace
treaty unless the Groza government
was let out" the paper declared.
britain and the United States
have signified willingness to &C
cede to the kings request and
assist in forming new regime,
On London it was reported
that the Romanian question
would occupy key position on
the agenda of the Big Five foreign
ministers conference which opens
Tuesday. Britain and American
diplomats were said to De de-
termined to force the issue
through to satisfactory conclu-
sion)
Izvestia's fiat rejection of Anglo
American policy toward Romania
followed a dinner given by Stain
for DR.. Groza at the Kremlin. The
dinner, highspot in the Romanian
prime minister's current week long
visit here, was described officially
as held in warm, friend y
atmosphere.

laps Caught Mapping
By Amazing Success
OF Pearl Harbor Raid
By the Associated Press.

6s tHe ASSocldleQ FreSS.
TOKYO, Sept. 8.-The japanese
were amazed" at the success of
their Pearl Harbor attack, but they
were caught without plan to take
immediate advantage of the blow
with a landing on Hawaii, a high
Nipponese Naval Ministry official
said today.
Planes from four carriers, pro-
tected by three battleships, eight
cruisers and 20 destroyers, hit
Pearl Harbor, said Capt. Ryono-
suke Imamura, secretary of the
Naval Ministry, in an interview.
I'VE had expected much greater
defense at SO important a base, "
he declared. We were amazed.
Our feet was told to bomb and
leave. We had no troops with which
to make landing. If we had, per-
haps we could have taken Hawaii,
but we had no plan to So"
The Nipponese planes sank the
battleship Arizona and damaged
seven other battleships, three
cruisers, three destroyers and sew
eral other vessels and left toll
of 1903 servicemen killed and miss
ing and 1872 wounded.
Imamura S report on the japanese
force agreed with that of Rear Ad-
miral Takata, former senior staff
officer of the Nipponese Sd Fleet,
given in an interview yesterday.
Takata said the Japanese later
planned to occupy Midway Island,
1850 miles northwest of Pearl Har-
Dor, but the American victory in
The battle of Midway June 3-6,
1912, six months after Pearl Harbor,
wrecked that plan.
The defeat of our fleet at Mid
way. where We lost four aircraft
carriers, was the turning point of
the war" Imamura declared.
After Pearl Harpor "our subma-
rines showed excellent results" the
navy oaficer said They patrolled
easily al the way to the coast of
the United States
The officer said Japan lost 126
submarines during the war, Dut naQ
go left to surrender.
Imamura said he believed Japan
was defeated because of lack of air
power Homeland war plants were
starved for materials by the Allied
air and sea h,.sekade. Aircraft sank
most of the Nfp1onese submarines
which were lost, he said.
The American lnycsion of the
Solomons upset japanese submarine
warfare, giving the Allies bases for
planes to protect Allied conveys,
said Comdr. Tamori Yoshimatsu, a
submarine skipper and member OF
the japanese Military Affairs Blu
reau. who was present at the inter-
view.
