ization OF their complete de-
feat"
Gould our troops have safely
entered Tokyo before they did ?"
/ asked.
"T believe the entrance was
made as soon as possible with
out taking unWarranted risks"
Macarthur replied. "When the
First Cavalry division arrived IL
was pushed into Tokyo without
delay. The only other troops
available to me at the time was
the llth Airborne division which
lightly held the Yokohama
beachhead.
1T would have been fool
hardy to push this division into
Tokyo sooner"
Asked whether any japanese
munitions or arms had actually
been delivered 10 the American
occupation forces yet, Macarthur
said
"Yes, and all arms and muni-
tiOns are being assembled for
destruction"
"NOne whatsoever" he said
when asked whether there had
been any incidents" since the
landing which would indicate
that Japan had a tendency 10
become truculent.
SURPASSES HOPES
Macarthur said that progress
Of the occupation surpasses his
expectations.
Asked whether he would refer
70 il as an invasion or as paci-
fication he replied
Neither. 1t Is the Occupa-
ton of conquered country by
the forces which defeated it,"
Asked about the conduct of
American troops in Japan, Mac
Arthur said
They have been magnificent
In every way. They have acted
with dignity, with firmness and
with a self-restraint that has
been admirable. Wherever they
go, they are Americas finest
diplomats"
No FRATERNIZATI0N
Asked whether any fraterniza-
ton IS developing between Ameri-
can troops and the Japanese
civilian population, Macarthur
said
None. The general aloofness
Of the American soldier, based
upon his innate self-respect, is
one of the most noticeable
characteristics of the Occupa-
ton.
Asked whether the policies
which governed a defeated Japan
would be determined by him or
by a higher authority, he replied:
"All ajor policies will be de-
termined on the highest govern
mental level by the Allied
powers and will be executed by
me as their agent, as may be
directed"

A Letter to
SOCONY VACUUM EMPLOYEES
At Its Trenton Refinery

Inasmuch as The Union called a
strike in our operations we think you
should know The Company's position so
you can Judge the matter for yourself.
In returning TO a peaee-time work
week, Socony-Vacuum has offered TO
increase hourly wages by I50Io as a
partia Offset TO The red uction in work
ing hours. Since al, The Company
has already increased refinery wage
rates about 2o0lo, so this would mean
total increase Of about 370o in both
hourly wages and weekly take-home
pay as compared with 94I.
Union officials have rejected this
offer. They demand full 81 hours pay
for 40 hours work. They have now
called a strike and closed the plant,
despite offers on the part Of the CON-
pany and the U. S. Cancellation Service
TO reach an agreement.
We feel This arbitrary action TO be
against The public interest and against
the interests Of all Socony-Vacuum en-
pIoyees.
Over The next several months, this
company plans TO re-employ more than
4,5oo regular mpIoyees now in Military
services. They also expect TO retain
most Of the employees engaged as
temporary replacements.
Closing this Company's plant by
strike will halt this unemployment. If
extended TO other refineries companies
and industries, II will cripple the entire
National unemployment. II will also

justified in demanding a full 81 hours

Wildcats Favored Over GoLdsboro
Major Ball Clubs Slate
PLayer-Draf Meet Soon

CHICAGO, Oct. 16-R)-All the
major league baseball teams prob
ably will be represented, but from
this distance it looks like slim
pickings when they hold their an
nual player-draft meeting here
Nov. l.
Not that there'n be any scarcity
of draftable players. About 400
names are expected to be on the
eligibility list now being prepared
by Leslie O'Connor, baseball com
missioner ABB. (Happy) Chand'
ler's assistant.
But quality is something else.
There wasn't much left in base
balls minor leagues worth the
81, 500 price tag for a class "A
draftee when the 1945 season
ended. Just about every mino1
Lacquer that showed any promise
the past season was snatched by
a parent team, or for cash, anc
found himself on a major league
diamond.
Furthermore, just about every
big league team still is worried
about what to do with players now
on their rosters when their chat
tells in service return. All Of them
have players in service who with a
little conditioning, could step right
into their former jobs and prob
ably help their teams more thar
the men who played the positions
the past season.
That's what the big-leaguers
face in the draft-a paucity OF
good material and the probability
they'll be overburdened with re-
turning servicemen next spring.
If the players now in uniform
return as rapidly as seems prob
able, reserve lists of the clubs
will be heavy enough to warrant
disposal of some of them, but few
trades or sales during the winter
and early spring seem possible
until the situation definitely is
clarified.
