Premier Is Ordered
To Speed Relief 10
japanese People
Gen. Macarthur Holds
His First Interview
With Shidehoru
BY the Associated Press.

Z
TOKYO, Oct. .11.-Gen. Mac
Arthur today met the new head
of the Japanese government
Premier Baron Kijuro Shidehara
for the first time and gave him
instructions for wide social and
political reforms which will re-
quire liberalization of the Japa-
neSe constitution.
Gen. Macarthur also put it
squarely up to Shidehara to take
prompt and vigorous" action to
see that the Japanese people are
clothed, fed and housed during the
coming winter.
The meeting, at Gen. MacAr-
thurs headquarters and initiated by
Shidehara shortly after he had
completed his cabinet and called
on the Emperor, came shortly after
the Allied supreme commander had
directed the Japanese government
to report within so days all foreign
exchange assets, including private
holdings and foreign properties of
the imperial household.
Previous Order Revoked.
Allied headquarters also an
nounced revocation of permission
to the japanese to operate an air
courier and liaison transport serv-
ice. The job will be taken over by
American airmen.
Cost of the War to Japan from
July, 1887, to its end was indicated
by the commercial daily paper,
Nippon Dangyo, which said the
japanese funded borrowings at the
end of July, l945, amounted to
ia ,289, ,OoO, 900 yen ($6,619 ,266 666).
The reforms which Gen. Macarthur
told Shidehara must be made in
carrying out surrender terms in
cluded votes for women, labor union
ization, liberalization of education,
abolition of all secret government
police and revision of industrial
monopolies.
The order for the report on foreign
exchange assets was the sixth step
the Allied command has taken in
bringing about tight control OF
japanese finances.
More War Loot Sought.
Obviously Allied Investigators are
on the search for more war loot and
for the tieups of Japan's big indus
trialists with the military and
Imperialism.
Today's announcement said the
Japanese government has been
ordered to report all foreign ex-
change assets, including private
holdings and foreign holdings of the
imperial household, within 80 days
Previous directives had:
Forbidden import and export of
foreign exchange.
Forbidden foreign exchange trans
actions within Japan.
Closed wartime imperialistic banks
and ordered seizure of assets.
Forbidden commercial commune
cations from Japan to the outside
world.
Ordered seizure of government,
army and navy precious metals.
The announcement pointed out
that many big families in Japan
have extensive foreign holdings and
''in several cases 35 per cent of their
assets are, located abroad"
The stated purpose of the finan-
cial directives is to assure that all
Japanese-owned foreign holdings
and gold, silver and platinum re-
serves would be available for such
purposes as the Allies might direct.
The new directive gave the gov
ernment, its agencies and the i'm

New Trial for Laval
Demanded by ReYnaud
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, Oct. 11.-Former Premier
Paul Reynaud, condemned and i'm
prisoned by the Vichy government
during the German occupation, to-
day headed list of prominent
French figures demanding new
trial for Pierre Laval, his political
arch-enemy.
Laval, dressed in a condemned
mans suit or burlap Sacking, was
transferred yesterday to a cell in
death row, at Fresnes Prison and
chained to a wall with leg irons.
Rsynaud, the last pre-Vichy Pre-
mier, was quoted by the newspaper
LOrdre as saying that 'if the ver-
dict could be submitted to the
Court of Appeals there is not the
slightest doubt it would be reversed. "
The law creating the high court
which sentenced Laval to die for
intelligence with the enemy pro-
vided that no appeals court can
reverse the decision.
But Reynaud suggested the gov
elIlment could enact a new ordnance
providing for appeal or a new trial.

Thursday that the Red army
mas resumed its attack along
The Oder river front 30-odd
miles east of bomb-battered
Berlin after a long lull.
A Soviet attempt to break through
the German defenses north of
Frankfurt -on-Oder, 33 miles east

naissance northwest of Kuestrin, 38

He said fighting had increased
sharply in intensity along a broad
faont stretching from Frankfurt

The German accounts suggested
that Marshal Gregory K. zhukov's

Zhukov's forces intensified their
