 ever, Resent Move

TOKYO, Oct. 19-Japanese Con- munist leaders asked the Socialist Party today to join in a united front against the Shidehara Gov ernment, which they said has no ability to cope with the present situation"
 The Socialists did not reply i'm mediately. Further talks between the groups were set for tomorrow but the National Federation of Toilers, a workers organization, strongly denounced the Communist suggestion at the first toilers' mass meeting since the surrender.
 Task Before Cabinet

 Communist leaders Yoshio Shiga, Shigeo Kamiyama and Ichizo Mat sumoto called at the office of the Japan Socialist Party and formally asked the party to join ill opposing the cabinet.
 The Communists and the Social ists once were bitter political foes, but Shiga expressed belief that. the groups could cooperate in a uni fled single trade union"

KEEP EMPEROR ON THRONE WITHOUT
 BALLOT SAY JApS
Most Massive Criminal h. on Question or Hiro-
 hito's Retirement
By JAMES LINDSLEY Associated Press Correspondent

TOKYO, Oct. l9-The man in Tokyo's rubble = bordered streets glances with scant favor on Presi- dent Truman's proposal that the Japanese should be permitted to vote on whether Emperor Hirohito keeps his throne.
 Of 21 persons interviewed at random, only seven favored such a ballot. The others thought either Hirohito or another of the imperial line should remain enthroned and the emperor system be retained.
 A civil policeman, who hesitated until he was sure his name would not be used, said he thought the emperor should retire in favor of Crown Prince Akihito.
 A brawny middle-aged black smith favored changing to Akihito "as things couldn't be much worse than they had been"
 The prince also got the vote of junior high school student, who expressed the view that the en- peror should assume all responsi- bility for the war.
 A well-dressed movie house op- orator said: The emperor system definitely should not be abolished, and there should be no call for an election The Japanese claiming they want the emperor to retire are merely saying so as a gesture. The emperor and the throne are indivisible-I can't think of one without the other"

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - The next two months of President Truman's life are filled with junkets similar to that which he has just taken through the heart of the Mark Twain country. At first, newsmen covering the White House figured he took these trips for political reasons, but they have now changed their minds.
 The President takes these junkets because he loves them. Never since that fateful April day when he took the oath of office has he had more fun than at Charlottesville, Mo, where he swapped yarns with the local postmaster, got up at SIS to "spit" in the Mississippi River, and ran out in the street to ring the bell of a small-scale locomotive.
 The locomotive was being con- ducted through the streets of Charlottesville by the Forty and Eight" club of the American Le- zion (commemorating the 40 men -8 horses" capacity of French freight cars in the last war). Sud- denly the President of the. United States spied it. Perhaps it re- minded him of 1918 when he un- loaded artillery horses from those same French freight cars in the Mouse sector. Or perhaps he just felt very much at home in Caru- thersville.
 Anyway, with a shout to War Mobilizer John Snyder, who once worked behind the cashiers cage of small-town Missouri Arkansas banks, Harry went over to the locomotive Right then and there the War Mobilizer and the Presi- dent of the United States had the time of their lives staging loco motive bell-pulling contest.
 Of course, the Secret Service men didn't like it, but regardless of them, Harry Truman certainly en- joyed being Harry Truman.
 Another incident the Secret Service men didn't like was when the President arose shortly after 6 a. m, left the austere frame 42-room Majestic Hotel which had been cleared of guests in his honor, and walked down to the Mississippi River. It seems that there is an
