torpedo attack. Later learned that
three planes were seen and the
bomb was seen dropping by para

Others said that while the area
damaged here was greater than at
Nagasaki, the damage at the latter
city was more intense.
"Nagasaki was much worse. Many
more killed More bombs dropped
there they asserted. Because of
the extreme damage the japanese

Civil Service 10 Fiqht
Navy's Request for
Permanent WAVES
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

The Navy's request to Congress
to retain a permanent compile
ment of WAVES will be strongly
opposed by the Civil Service
Commission, it was learned to-
day.
With the war over, the commission
feels there is no reason why the
bulk of the Navy Departments Office
work shouldn't be done by civilians
rather than by enlisted personnel.
Furthermore, commission spokes-
men assert, the intent of civil serv-
ice regulations would be violated if
WAVES filled jobs ordinarily filled
by civilians.
See Personel Difficulties.
Administrative and personnel diff
culties would arise should WAVES
continue at Office jobs, the commits
sion feels. For one thing, many
WAVES receive greater pay than
civilians at the Navy Department
doing the same type of work. This
has led to resentment in the past
and would be certain to cause dis
content on the part of civilians, now
that the war is over, commission
officials contend.
Although WAVES basic wage is
lower than that of the average cler-
ical worker, the subsistence pay
some of them receive more than
makes up the difference, it was said.
Little wonder then that a $1,440
civilian clerk feels disgruntled over
the situation" a commission spokes-
man said.
The commission further feels that
there is no further justification for
the Navy's desire to employe WAVES
because Of the need "for military Sc
crecy." Now that the war is over
the Navy can have no excuse for
demanding that ordinary Office work
be done by enlisted personnel in
the interests of security" a commits
sion spokesman said. Besides" he
added, "the reputation Of the aver
age Government employe for 10y
atty and dependability is beyond
question"
Just how many of the $4,000
WAVES the Navy wishes to retain
has not been made known. How
ever, Navy officials indicated that
they would like to maintain a suf.
ficient force during peacetime.
Commission spokesman indicated
that there would be no objection to
WAVES continuing at strictly MILL
tary functions, not involving ordi-
nary Office work, but pointed out
that the majority of WAVES are

Labor Is Advised
By SchweNenbach 10
Solve Own Problems

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
yesterday urged labor to solve its
problems or face the necessity for
Government action.
In a Labor Day broadcast to the
American workers, Mr.. Schwellen-
bach proposed that labor support
an educational program for adult
workers; that it encourage study
groups and that it take as its imme-
diate subject 'the problems of in
duStrial relationship"
Labor now has the opportunity
to solve its problems and to make
certain that the common good is
not transgressed." the Secretary de-
clared. And I plead with labor
to assume this responsibility, know
ing that unless it does the Govern
ment will be invited and even COM
PEELED to assume the responsibility"
Management experience in labor
relations is warning, Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach said. 1t had an opportunity
for a hundred years to meet OBJ
legations to the common good by
recognizing the natural right" of
collective bargaining, he added, but
1t did not do SO and resorted to
practices which brought on the
demand for Government regula-
ton"
Emphasizing the need for i'm
proved industrial relations, the
Labor Secretary warned that full
employment, full production or full
consumption cannot be achieved "if
our productive machine is stalled
and our power to consume dimin-
tshed as result of chaotic indus
trial relations"

Failure 10 Halt Japs
In 1881 Was Cause Of
War, Att|ee. Asserts
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 4-Prime Min
lister Attlee last night pinned the
blame for the six years of war upon
failure to deal sternly with Jap
anese aggression IA years ago, and
declared victory will have been in
vain unless all are ready to shoulder
the heavy responsibility that our
victory entails
1T will be our task in closest as
sociation with other nations to seek
to establish a world order in which
war shall everywhere be banished,"
he told the British people In
speech marking the sixth annivers-
airy of Britains entry into the war.
Mr.. Attlee announced that Bri-
tain's sole endeavor in Europe now
would be ito enable the will of the
people to prevail and to assist in
the establishment everywhere of
governments resting on popular
consent"
DemObilization Plans.
| The Prime Minister outlined Brit
ish plans for demobilizing the armed
forces with as much speed as pos
Slble, warned that British troops
would be needed in far places for
occupation duties for some time to
come, estimated that in order to
bring British production back to
prewar levels. I'VE require an in
crease of about 100000 workers,
The chain of events which led to
the greatest war in history Mr..
Attlee traced to japanese invasion
OF Manchuria in 1881.
Failure to deal with this first
breach OF the peace destroyed the
authority of the League of Nations
he asserted.
The world should have learned
from the First World War, he said,
that peace is indivisible and that it
can only be preserved by the resolute
maintenance of the rule of law all
over the world"
AT home and abroad we have
seen the garnered fruits of years of
toll destroyed and dispersed in a
few years." Mr.. Attlee declared.
Unless we can set on the other
side gain in the progress of the
human spirit and in the growth of a
new conception of human society,
these losses win have been in vain"
Release Rate Criticized.
Mr.. Attlee promised that British
service men and women would be
demobilized at the rate of $4,000
weekly. This pledge met a rather
cool reception in the press, which
chided the slowness of providing
hands for Britain's peace industries.
The Times called for the utmost
premptness and ingenuity in re-
leasing every man, machine and
ship that can be spared Ito start
at once the rebuilding of a new
Britain"
The Libe al News Chronicle said
the Prime Minister'S statements on
rehabilitation would cause wide
spread disappointment"
The daily Mail said the original
rehabilitation plan drawn up under
the coalition government remained
virtually unaltered," and that Mr..
Attlees statements were certain to
be received with criticisms In the
services"
The Telegraph asserted, mo swift
or adequate reinforcement of export
industries will be given by the gov
ernment's present methods" of re-
distributing manpower.

rebuilding"
Emperor Hirohito himself opened
the parliamentary session this
morning, calling for the Japanese
to "surmount the manifold hard
ships and trials attending termina-
tion of the war, make manifest the
innate glory of Japan's national
policy, win the confidence of the
world" and devote ourselves to re-
construction in every field"
Determined to Rebuild.
The resolution adopted later by
the House of Peers expressed de-
termination to rebuild the nation
with view to safeguarding the
age-old national structure and con-
tributfng to world peace in order
that his majesty's mind may be put
at rest"
Hirohito had terminated the war,
the resolution said, "in 2profound
consideration of the welfare OF hts
subjects" --------- -...-....--.-.~ .-,.
The Emperor said he had directed
the ministers of state to explain the
foreign and domestic conditions and
the course of events that have led
to the extraordinary measure"
The lower house Immediately
adopted reply expressing "appre-
citation for the efforts exerted by
officers and men of the imperial
forces as we'll as endeavors on the
home front"
Session Lasts Is Minutes.
The opening session lasted only Is
