Gen. Swing Tells

.ATSUGI AIRDROME, Japan,
Aug. 30.-Maj. Gen. Joseph M.
Swing, commander of the rough and
tumble 18th Airborne Division, gave
! little Jap iaison officer an idea
Vt what he thought of Samurai
words when he landed here early
;oday and ordered him to throw his
Weapon away.
Met with formal courtesy when he
stepped from the first plane of his
squadron, the general was asked for
ais orders. Gen. Swing responded
by asking for a liaison officer.
Promptly little Jap officer stepped
lp. wearing Samurai sword al
most as tall as himself.
Tell him to take that thing of, ~
he general ordered.
The Jap chartered an indignant
protest that he would lose authority
20 execute the generals orders if
deprived of his frog sticker. But
Gen. Swing was adamant, as only
inc officers can be and the next
lime the Jap appeared the emblem
If his former prowess was missing
Son-in-law and former aide to
Gen. Peyton March, former Chief of
staff, Gen. Swing is a veteran of

ivated his 18th at Camp Mackall

mccess through the Philippines lib

President Truman notified
Congress today that the more
than S42,000,O00,0OO this country
spent on lease lend aid to its Al
lies should, in the main, be writ
ten off the books.
The reason made clear in a
lengthy report Mr.. Truman sent to
Capitol Hills that the admins
tration believes the United States
received three things more impor-
tant than a dollar basis settlement.
They are:
/. Victory over Germany and
Japan.
2. More than $500, 900 900 through
last March in reverse lease-lend.
3. A commitment from all ma
tions receiving lease-lend to join in
organizing postwar international
trade on the basis of lowering bar
riers.
Major Objective Realized.
In letter accompanying the re-
port, Mr.. Truman told the law
makers:

world conquest and enslavement
came so close to succeeding, the
United States has realized the
major objective for which lease
lend aid has been extended.
The President has ordered lease
lend oprations halted, effective VI
day, and already has cut off requisi-
tions for supplies which formerly
would have been ordered under the
mutual aid program.
Meanwhile, arrangements are
being worked out with lease-lend
countries to switch their commerce
to a peacetime basis. American
officials will begin conversations
with British delegation next week
for some credit substitute.
Each Ally Credited With Aid.
Summing up the gigantic pro.
gram, Mr.. Truman said: Each ol
our principal fighting partners has
contributed to the pool of armed
might in accordance with its full
abilities and capacities"
Now, he added, the lease-lend ar.
rangements are being wound up II

Until Jopon's Defect
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Congress should move prompt
ly to vote Federal increase in
State unemployment benefits
because the workers hurt by lay
offs now are the men and women
who stuck loyalty to their war
jobs until Japan was defeated"
Reconversion Director John w.
Snyder told the House Ways and
Means Committee today.
simultaneously, the Senate FL
nance Committee heard Arthur j.
Altmeyer of the Social Security
Board indorse the Kilgore bill, un-
der which the Government would
provide funds to bring State jobless
insurance payments up to max
imum of $25 a week for 26 weeks,
with proportionate increases for
those not entitled to the maximum
Mr.. Snyder told the House COM
mittee the States have accumulated
more than seven billion dollars in
their unemployment reserve funds
and suggested Congress may want
to consider requirement that the
States later pay back at least a part
of any money the Federal Treasury
advances now.
Costs of War Cited.
"The human as we'll as the ma
terial costs of transition are costs
of war;" Mr. Snyder testified. "We
have recognized this fact in the pro-
grams for assistance to business and
veterans. We cannot in good con-
science adopt another attitude to-
ward displaced war workers.
1.-The second reason is that those
who stuck Loyalty to their war jobs
until the defeat of Japan are the
ones who will be hardest hit by un-
employment. Those who never
transferred to war work, or those
who quit before the end, will for the
most part be safely set in peacetime
jobs.
1.-THE sudden and permanent lay
offs will come-or have already
come-to the workers who have
filled the jobs most essential in
war and unnecessary in peace.
Those who face unemployment are
the men and women who have built
the weapons for victory"
The extent to which the problem
already has developed was revealed
in the Senate testimony of DR.. Alt
meyer that unemployment claims of
all kinds reached total of 960,913

total for the week ending August IL.

The survey showed per capita in

were reached by dividing total in

the partial reduction of the broad

MANILA, Aug. 30.-Lt. Gen
Jonathan M. Wainwright, pale
from his years in enemy prison
camps, stepped from his plane
today en- route from Chungking
to Tokyo to witness Japan's sur
render. He saw a Manila he
wouldn't recognize" it is sc
overfoWing with Allied military
power.
Wearing three large old-style stass
on his shirt, Gen. Wainwright was
visibly shaken by his return to the
city he saw fall, across Manila Bay
from his last Philippines battle
ground at Corregidor.
Maj. Gen. c. A. Willoughby, Gen
MacArthur's intelligence officer, well
coined Gen. Wainwright on behalf
of the supreme commander, and
President Sergio Osmena greeted
him on behalf of the PHILIPPINE
Commonwealth.
Receives HerO's Welcome.
The ranking British officer, C. H
Gardner, and Vice Admiral James
Kaufman, American naval officer
commanding the Philippine sea
frontier, represented the Navy at
the hero's welcome.
With Gen. Wainwright were his
aides, 1t Col. John Pugh and Maj.
Thomas Dooley; his chief of staff
Brig. Gen. Lewis c. Beebe,. and his
orderly, Sergt. Herbert Carroll.
Gen. Wainwright, accepting with
thanks Gen. MacArthur's invitation
to witness Japan's surrender aboard
the battleship Missouri in Tokyo
Bay, had asked that his aides be
permitted to accompany him.
The generals first words as he
greeted President Osmena-'thi
place has changed so wouldn't rec
ognize it"-summed up the vast diff
ference in Americas military might
since he commanded his pitifully
inadequate forces on Corregidor less
than four years ago.

and it hurled at the enemy the hun
dreds of bonbers which helped
break the backbone of Japan.
AS Gen. Wainwright drove down
the water front along Dewey boule-
ward, he saw mountains of quarter
master supplies, camp after camp
of port battalions, ordnance repair
men, and engineers.
In Manila Bay were hundreds of
transports, sleek Navy oilers, and
landing craft the like of which
didn't exist when Gen. Wainwright
last saw the bay.
Gen. Wainwright saluted the
military police as he stepped from
the plane. Despite their efforts tc
hold back the crowd, which had

broke and he and his staff were
engulfed by welcoming officers and
soldiers.
"This is wonderful, to be back
here standing on the same field
again and see so many friends" he
said, leaning slightly on a cane as
he talked with the group clustered
around him.
Shows Little Change,
Despite his long Imprisonment
since his surrender of Corregidor
and the wearying air trip from
Chungking, he looked not greatly
different from the Gen. Wainwright
photographed during the surrender
talks with Japanese Gen. Homma in
1912.

Club Ideals AT

A talk defining the qualitative
differences between a life of ir-
responsible freedom" and a
life of achievement and service
was made before Moss Point Ro-
tarians Thursday by w. B. Her
ring, president OF the Pascagoula-
Moss Point bank.
From one point OF view. free
dom is synonymous with individ-
ual pleasure" he said, "but some
how this theory never seems to
secure the greatest happiness to
the individual" The life of self
ish remoteness from the realities
and problems of community life
creates sense Of emptiness and
restlessness in such a person. he
said.
unless man can see the neces-
sary relation of his life to society
and TO social good, he will never
be truly free. never be happy,
never knew contentment.
HE who would find himself,
must first lose himself in the i'm
terest of the larger group. This in
sense is to say what another
writer said long ago, he who for
cts himself is remembered long
est"
Talking on the nature of Ro.
tary service, MIR. Herring said
that these ideals of cooperation
and creative living were in the
world long before Rotary, anc
that some men have always lived
them by nature, but that the clut
i gives them formulation and set,
them constantly before the mem
