Cave Of 1000 Rooms,
Used as Arms Factory,
Discovered in Japan
BY JOHN LA CERDA,

North American Newspaper Alliance.
OTSU, Japan, Dec. 14.-A great,
1,000-room cave used as an arms
factory has been discovered in the
mountains ringing this city, where
the Japs gave naval aviators their
basic training.
The cave is among scores found
by Army patrols prowling the ter
ritory occupied by the 136th United
States Infantry Regimental Combat
Team. The entrance to one cave,
found Sunday, had been camou-
| f1aged only two days previously
The cave was empty, but there were
signs that picric acid (used in ex-
plosives) had been stored there.
When found, the 1,O00-room cave
had already been stripped of its
latheS and other machines that had
been anchored in cement. Accord
ing to Col. Raymond Cavenee, COM
manding officer, his intelligence
officers are checking Jap statements
that the equipment was moved to
a factory in another province for
use in civilian manufacture.
The cave was sprawled inside a
3,000-foot mountain for two square
miles. Much of it had been carved
by a subterranean river now dried
up. There were elaborate ventilat-
ing systems, paved roadways and
steel doors inside.
Thank God we didn't have to
light our way into these hills" said

Republicans Prepare
To Fight Roosevelt
In 1948, Ickes Says
- the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA. - The Pear
Harbor inquiry, the Hurley case ano
the Republicans came in for caustie
comment by Secretary of the Inter-
Tor Ickes last night before the Ma
tional Citizens Political Action Com
mittee.
The Republicans, said the Secre-
tary in a speech bristling with
darts aimed at the COP handling OF
the Pearl Harbor investigation and
the Hurley incident already have
picked their opponent for 1948."
They are determined to run
against Roosevelt" he said, adding
My own confident prediction is
that F. D. r. dead will give them
as sound trimming as ever did
F. D. R. living"
Prepare for 194S.
The congressional investigation
Of the Pearl Harbor attack and the
charges against State Department
officials made by Maj. Gen. Patrick
j. Hurley when he resigned as Am
bassador to China were cited by Mr.
1ckes as the attempts reactionary
Republicans are making to get
ready for 1948"
There is only one difficulty that
can see in the way of a sweeping
victory for the Republicans on the
disinterested Pearl Harbor issue
seven years after the event." he
said. Unfortunately for them, and
despite their own responsibility for
our unpreparedness, we did win the
war
"It is not even credible, thus be-
latedly, for ex-post facto States
men to insinuate, with no regard
for the truth, that Roosevelt baited
a trap at Hawaii with our Navy in
the hope that the japanese would dc
what the Chicago Tribune and its
fellow members of the Chicago-NeW
York Washington newspaper axis
insisted that it would not do, namely
make war upon the United States.
Asks Support for Truman.
Mr., Ickes urged "considerate and
understanding" support of President
Truman and said ION his record to
date he is entitled to the respect
and support of every liberal"
Concerning the Hurley case, he
said:
In his reckless disregard as to
whether he might make trouble for
his own country or not" he went
on, Gen. Hurley has cast diScredit
upon himself. He has hurried into
the marketplace with his lamenta-
tions, recklessly accusing where ap-
parently he had no proof to sustain
his charges. 1t is not surprising that
his charges have fallen fiat. He had
nothing to sustain them"
Mr.. Ickes said that Officials In
Washington marveled that the late
President should be so generous to
a political waif and stray as to
clothe him in ambassadorial robes
and send him forth where it was a
foregone conclusion that, consider
ing his lack of experience and want
of self-restraint, plus his eagerness
for the limelight, damage might re-
suit to his country"

Give Macarthur A Chance

Any one who has been assigned job OF
extraordinary responsibility in which, because
OF peculiar circumstances, progress Is neces
sarily slow can understand General Mac.
Arthurs position in Japan and forgive his
reply to his critics. If there are still any who
fail to appreciate the difficulties with which
he must contend, it seems only necessary for
their enlightenment to note that there are still
million and a halt japanese troops unarmeo
in Japan and the total of American occupa'
ton forces is but hundred thousand.
These Japanese troops have never been de-
feated in battle They are nervous and have
been fed Japanese propaganda constantly
since the Official surrender. One false step by
Macarthur all too easily could result IN an
outbreak which, truth to tell, our occupation
forces are insufficient to quell. He must move
circumspectly in putting the provisions OF the
Potsdam proposal into effect, and as far as
can be estimated from across the Pacific ne
has been remarkably successful thus Tar.
AS he says, it is hard for Americans at home
who have lost loved ones in the war to be
patient. but adds that security and military
expediency still require the exercise OF some
restraint, No one need doubt about the prompt
complete and entire fulfillment OF the terms
OF surrendax."
In the fulfillment Of his responsibility ne
has, among other things, ordered the Dome
news agency, the last propaganda outlet o.
the Japanese, closed. Here is fresh evidence
that he does not endorse a soft peace" fo1
Japan nor intend to apply the surrender terms
in kid gloved' manner.
We hold no brief for General Macarthur.
But his severest critics must admit that ne
has made his every pledge good. He is fully
capable of completing the tremendous job OF
Supreme Commander to which the Allied pow
ers have unitedly assigned him. He deserves
the support Of the American people and will
perform NOR. efficiently in his task if he has
it than if he is subjected to long'range sniping.

The Labor Front

Yesterdays Washington dispatches con-
tanned the good news that reconversion is well
ahead of expectations The most encouraging
word was that the job is coming more and
more under control Of private enterprise. Al
the same time the dispatches noted that by
mid December there might be six and one.
half million persons out Of work.
In summary Of the labor front yesterday
the Associated Press revealed that the total
OF strikers had reached 1872, 900 persons. This is
an increase over Z week before and indicates
a decided trend. As time goes on and il moth
ing is done to keep labor on the JOB, the total
inevitably will mount far higher. What it will
be by mid.December is beyond guessing.
But if at that time six and half million
person are idle through no fault Of their own,
nd strikes have increased as now seems most
likely, it appears reasonable that the strikers
should be barred entirely and their former
places given to as many Of the six and one.
hal. million idle as can be accommodated.
They may not have the skill Of the strikers in
particular jobs, but at least they would be
working.
BY such move the stranglehold the labor
bosses have had on unions and the country
for so long a time might be broken and EN-.
ployn1ent restored to an equitable basis.

Like An Alger Story

It sounds a lot like an Alger story, but
even so is worth telling in the hope that some
Young mother may try it out.
We recently met a prominent man and asked
him where and when he got the idea he coulo
do all the work there was to be done in the
world. He is chiefly known for his many and
varied activities.
He answered that when he was hardly more
than a fodder his mother gave him spe-
cific tasks every day. They were measured
carefully by his capacity, he said, and in
looking back he inclines to the belief that his
mothers idea was chiefly to teach him to as
sumo responsibilities. He had place in the
world, and soon came to understand it.
His little tasks became heavier as he grew
and so he got the idea that work could be
source of pleasure as well as necessity. He
was proud Of the fact that his mother never
preached to him, but let him find out about
all this for himself.
He had plenty Of time for play and acquired
some skill in boys sports playing varsity
baseball and football and tennis.
That's all Of the story. 1t means much OF
little, as one reads it.

The changes apparently please the Koreans
The attitude Of the deposed Japanese is not
manifest Probably they are disgruntled as
they are reported to have used the time since

Frankly it makes little difference whether
they like it or not Sooner or later the Japa
nese in Korea as wen as N the home islands

surrender meant just that. 1t would be better
for them if they learned it the easy way. But

Now that there is fair chance that peace
will spread its protective wings over Korea
it would be good idea both for the comfort
of the Koreans and the confusion of the Japa.

Let The People Decide

Yougoslavia's demand for Trieste and sur
rounding territory, on the ground that much
of the population is Slav and therefore no,
racial in harmony with the Italians, may be
Justified or merely the vocal expressions Of
growing pains. Tito had his troops in the terri.
ory during the closing period OF the European
war and the impression prevailed that he in
ended to make compulsory annexation there
II. At least his troops were withdrawn reluc
antly and only when it appeared he might
AVE to fight the British for toehold.
With that episode in mind it is easy to
hink that the Yugoslav demand stems from
territorial ambitions. What needs especial en-
ohasis is that no disposition should be made
of Trieste and points north. east, south and
even west, without consent of the population
Self determination should be the basis Of any
Allied action there.
The conquering powers in Europe would IA:
far short of their responsibility if they arbi
trarily re-subdivided the Continent. The West
ern Allies committed this error following the
First World War. They ought to detour the
satpe pitfall now, in the interest of peace AT
seaurity for generations to come. 2.

Poultry Show

It should prove highly interesting to Will
mingtonans to learn that their city is among
North Carolina cities where All club members
will exhibit poultry under supervision OF State
College, the other cities being Asheborc
Greensboro Wnston-Salem and Goldsboro.
The exhibition will give our citizens oppor
tunity not only to be better acquainted with
the All organization but how thorough and
understanding is their participation in the All
program. Incidentally, too, it will show all
persons whose acquaintance with poultry for
the better part OF four years has been in
market display cases, where they have
watched fryers and hens therein gradually
change from being fully dressed" to merely
''picked what purebred poultry really is like
when cared for and nourished and brought
up with some idea Of family responsibilities,
and the obligation to set new and greater egg
production records
The pulets to be shown at Wilmington will
be the entries of Alters in OnsloW, Bladen
Fender and New Hanover counties. They will
be well worth viewing, particularly as the
poultry industry is coming to the fore in thi:
area.
