FAvORS U. 5. LANDINGS ON
 CHINA GOASI
By GEORGE K. T. WANG

By GEORGE K. T. WANG Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Chungking, Aug, 3-(UP) Since Chiang Kai-shek pointed that AL lied landings on the China coast are necessary" in the drive to de- feat Japan, discussion of this topic is again popular among China's strategists, Commander Kuo Sh0u- sheng, of the Chinese Naval Head quarters, Chungking, favors Amer ican landings on particularly the North China coast for the follow- ing advantages:
 CD It will avoid the cost of perilous push from South and Gen. tral China to North China.
 (2) It makes the work of anni- hilating the enemy in China easier by cutting him in two.
 (3) The Japanese forces in China can thus be cut of from their main supply bases in their home islands, Korea and Man. churia.
 (D Great results can be achiey- ed at minimum loss of manpower and material.
 (5) Mortal blows can be aimed at the heart of Japan.
 Take Shanghai
 Commander Kuo suggests that after Okinawa, the logical step should be the occupation of the Chou San Islands, the group of 240 islets of the Chekiang coast south- east of Shanghai. From the bases of the Chou San Islands, Shanghai can be taken and the Yangtse estuary can be blockaded. Shanghai is an advance base from which landings in North China can be directed.
 Commander Kuo suggests the Shantung Penninslua as the ideal objectivfie for American forces to land in North China. On the Pen- nisula, which is inside the Third Naval Area of the Japanese Em- pire( her last naval defense line), the Japanese maintain naval ports -Weihawei above, Tsingtao below and Lienyunkang further down. Once these bases are in Allied hands, we can attack east to the Korean Peninsula, west to penetrate North China inland. and north to Manchuria, the last stronghold of Continental Japan"
 "Only then" Commander Kuo maintains, "the attack on Japan to cause her complete collapse can be said to have approached it's final phase"

Reuther Sees
 Room-And-Bust Cycle Possible

Chicago, Aug. 3.-(UP)-Un4esS labor's purchasing power is main. tained. another boom and bust cycle is inevitable, Victor Reuther, chairman of the war policy commit tee of the United Auto worker (C1O), believes.
 The national income is drop ping millions of dollars per week. with lay-offs, cut-backs and reduc- tions of the work week in war plants, Reuther said.
 "Labor's main job in the post war period is to build a sound economic basis for peace"
 The San Francisco charter will be nothing but "a scrap of paper unless we are willing to implement it's fine sentiments with some prac- tical down-to-earth economic plan. he said.
 Purchasing power must be maintained at a high level, if we are to provide civilian markets to absorb the high output of peace time goods which is essential to a full employment economy"
 Reuther charged that neither the government nor employers were planning for utilization of government owned plants in a program of full employment and full production.
 thousands of workers have been dismissed from the Willow Run plant in Detroit" he said "and no provision has been made to provide jobs for them.
 Worse yet, no plans have been charted for gearing the almost immeasurable productive capacity of Willow Run into program of peace-time production"
 Reuther called for congressional action to create public corpora tions, to plan mass production oi low-cost housing and modern rail- road rolling stock in government owned war plants.

LAWYER GIVES LEGAL ADVICE
 DURING BATTLE
BIZ TECH. SGT. LARRY SCHULENBERG Marine Corps Combat
 CnrresnOndent

Somewhere in the Pacific (UP)- His law office was foxhole on bloody Two lima.
 Marine Capt. Allen M. Jones Of S029 Woodland drive, N. w., Wash ington, D. C., officer of the Fifth Marine Division, landed on Two on D-Day and remained ashore during the entire 38-day campaign.
 Jones was surprised at the num- Der of marines who wanted legal advice in. the course of battle as the leathernecks were to find that the advice was available. The offi- cer was called upon to draw up wills, transfer insurance, initiate divorce action, settle estates and handle assorted personal problems.
 During the first flaw days on Two, things were so hot that neither Jones nor anyone else on the island had time for legal matters. One night, the Washington officer dug in with a tank outfit of 12 men. By dawn four were killed and three wounded. Later, the divisions am- munition dump was moved near Jones' foxhole and promptly re- ceived a direct hit from enemy shellfire.
 Rushing Practice
 Tt blew up with all my belong ings," said Jones. Luckily, was elsewhere that night"
 But when sections of the battered island were secured by fighting leathernecks, Jones law practice did a rushing business. He was busy at all hours of the night and day.
 T couldn't help but be amazed" he said, by the number of men who tramped through dangerous territory to look up the legal off cer. One marine came to me wor- ried almost to death by question of custody of his child. He was surprised to learn that there was a legal officer ashore.
 Other men who had faced death every hour would come to my fox hole, dirty and tired, and would ask their legal and personal ques- tions. Then, they would thank me and trudge back to the front"
 These men, who in the midst of danger, worried about the welfare of their families at home, exemplified the meaning of unselfishness, Jones said.

If government can sell elec- tricity on this basis, it can sell shoes, groceries, automobiles, or anything else the same way. Gov- ernment may properly regulate bus mess in the public interest but should not operate business. It should not play in the game for which it makes the rules. In other words, government should not try to be umpire and pitcher at the same time.

Lonq-Term Outlook

Queried about new uses, Tay-
lor revealed;
Chemical research has de-
veloped new products to be de-
rived from hydrocarbons, both
gaseous and liquid. Today the
refining branch OF the industry
Is rapidly being converted into
a chemical operation"
In clarifying the long term
outlook for petroleum resources,
Taylor declared:
"While IL is perfectly true
that at the end Of the war, the
estimated petroleum reserves in
the United States were the high
est I'm many years, the increased
mount resulted principally
from the corrections Of past in
correct estimates plus large
volumes OF oil which became
available by eXtens ion and
deeper drilling in already known
fields. The discovery of new oil
in new fields has not for some
years kept pace with the amount
extracted. In 1914, 5ll,000,OO
barrels Of new oil I'm new fields
were discovered. The consump-
tion was l,680,O00 900 barrels.
In the three years prior 10 the
war 56,224 oil wells were COM
pleted, where from 1912
through 1914, 31,241 were COM
pleted.
Detroit evening times., 1945-11-28
Restrictions Hit Drilling

"TO be sure, some of this de-
crease in drilling might be at
tributable to shortage of ma
terials during the war, but much
of IL can be ascribed to the de-
struction of incentive resulting
\ from too much regulation and
RECOMMENDATION. The chief en-
enlargement to wildcatting or
exploratory work would result
IL the remaining federal restric-
tions, particularly the sitting
effect of OPA regulations, were
removed. l can see no useful
purpose being served by having
price regulations remain in ef-
feet on those products where
shortages cease to exist. Com
petition will regulate prices far
more intelligently under those
conditions. A long term tax pro-
gram should also prove OF as-
sistance TO insure proper plan
ming without constant fear OF
changing rules"

Industry's Costs Up

Amplifying his remark about
costs in the industry, Taylor
added:
Costs i'm all branches have
been continually upward during
the course OF the war and the
industry emerges with the high
est costs for many years These
costs are only cOntrollable by
management TO a limited de-
gree"
Discussing the prospective
postwar demand for petroleum
products, the Californian said:
. THE outlook for postwar
gasoline consumption Is excel
lent. Prior 10 the war each
year showed a substantial in
crease in:
"A-Total consumption.
"B-Miles of available sur
faced roads.
"C-AutomOblle registrations.
"D-Average miles driven per
car per year"

Mediocre Face Layoffs
