 Herein lies the way to true and final peace"
 MacArthur's broadcast was de- scribed at headquarters as a discus sion of the military phases of the occupation. It also was interpreted here as an answer to critics who have charged the Supreme Comman- der has been too soft in handling the Japanese.
 Today, Japanese armed forces throughout Japan completed their Rehabilitation and ceased to exist as such," Macarthur said "These forces now are completely abolish ed"

 Allied Headquarters announced that Gen. Macarthur would broad cast to the Unitel States at 8 a. m. tomorrow (6 p. m. today, EsT), on Military Phases of the Occupation.
 While Premier Kitro Shide- haras cabinet tussled with the problem of drafting constitutional social reform decrees, in line with Gen. MacArthur's directives, po- litical leaders proceeded with plans for party organizations.
 The sprouting political faiths varied from old-line Conservatives to Communist anti-Imperialists, and Japanese observers predicted that the mid-winter general cleo ton campaign may be marked by violence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15-The world heavyweight champion, Joe Louis, has signed a contract with Pro- moter Mike Jacobs.
 Jacobs announced today that Louis had agreed to defend his title against Billy Conn. The bout will take place either in June of 1946 or at any other date desig- mated by Jacobs.

EDUCATION COM.
 FINDS SCHOOLS
 CR0WDING OVER
Heavy EnroIIm ent h. crease in All Sections
 of Territory

Returned from an inspection trip to Territorial Schools in Western and Interior Alaska, Commissioner of Education James Ryan today re- ported vastly increased enrollments are taxing Territorial Schools to the utmost limits at many points.
 Increases in student rolls from 10 percent to as much as 800 percent have occurred this year, he said. pr. Ryan attributes the increases to two main causes:
 Influx of new people in many areas, particularly the larger com munities.
 2+Transfer of pupils from Alaska Native Service to Territorial Schools.
 Going from here to Seward by steamer, Dr. Ryan travelled by bus to the Interior, stopping off at Gulr kama where new school was opened this year Ten pupils were anticiA pated at Gulkana, he reported. AL ready g are enrolled there and quarters are far too crowded. Going to the Seward Peninsula, Dr. Ryan found Nome school enrolment in creased from normal no pupils to 1855, mainly due to transfer of pupils from native schools.
 He found overcroWding at Teller very serious, but it is hoped that a way can be seen to get through this school year there with the present facilities. At Haycock, Dr. Ryan opened a new school, with 19 stu dents enrolled.
 Kotzebue, he found, is united in it's desire for a Territorial School
 Back at Fairbanks, he conferred with Dr. Dorothy Holversen, Edu- cation Supervisor, who had visited schools in the Bristol Bay area and along the upper Yukon. She reported similar conditions. gf
 Adding to the difficulties, Dr. Ryan said is the fact that there has been an excessive turnover of teachers and many new teachers and administrators are unfamiliar with the problems confronting them. Schoolroom space at Fairbanks, too, is strained this year, the Commissioner declared and Fair banks faces difficult problem next year, with 11O pre-school children in che small district alone, who will be school-age in 1946.
 Returning to Anchorage over the Alaska Railroad, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Holversen visited schools enroute, most of which were found to be get ting along all right.
 Anchorage, however, has it's schools greatly overcrowded. Thirteen hun dred children are in school there and even the uncompleted new building there will not care for all of them adequately. Palmer and Wasilla, too, are taxed.
 While pr. Ryan hurried back here to prepare an estimate of Alaska school requirements, requested by Gov. Ernest Gruening for presen- tation to Congress, Dr. Holversen has remained to the Westward and will visit schools around Kodiak and Prince William Sound. Dr. Ryan will return to Anchor age next month to attend an ad- ministrators meeting there, following which he and Dr. Holversen will come back to Juneau.
