gineer of the Portland Cement

operate in all lines of endeavor to
bring about smooth and con-
structive postwar period.
He added that wishfui thinking
and vague planning must go if
we intend to avoid a period of dis
tress like that which followed the
end of World War I.
Mr.. Maynard said that great
period of construction is ahead for
thi. vicinity such as manufacture
ing plants, quick freeze storage
plants, warehouses refineries, air
ports, building and home construc-
ton, railroad repair and public
works such as highways and that
it is the duty of the eng ,neers to
have the plans on their shelves
now, ready for use when the war
veterans come home and ma
terials are available.
He closed by stating that the
association he represented is in

struction throughout the country
and showed movie entitled

of the most modern highways in
the country.

LEGION APPEALS
FOR HOSPITAL Use

Wilmington Post No. 10, of the
American Legion is sponsoring a
proposal now being circulated that
the Army hospital at Fort Fisher
be. turned over Immediately to the
Veterans Administration for use
by returning servicemen.
In the first issue of the newly
founded Post publication, 'The
Wilmington Legionnaire," the Le-
gion is urging prompt action to
make the Army hospital available
for use as soon as possible.
The subject will come before
the executive board of the Legion
for approval Thursday night, it
lis stated, and formal endorsement
lis expected to be forthcoming at
that time.
At present, only two Veteran
Administration hospitals exist in
the State of North Carolina, and
both are fully-occupied by World
War I veteran-patients, the Lee
gion has declared. OF these, one
is located at Fayetteville, and a
second at Oteen, near Asheville,
where an addition has been au-
thorized.
However, the additional pulld-
ing space is inethe blueprint stage

RUSSIA DEMANDS
MACARTHUR SCALP

London, Oct. 3-U.H- Soviet Rus
STA has demanded that Gen. Doug
las Macarthur be replaced immed-
diately as the governing power of
Japan by an Allied Control Council
of the four major Pacific powers,
Radio Moscow disclosed today.
The Soviets p r faced their de-
mand for an equal voice in the ad-
ministration of japan with the as
sertion that MacArthur's position
as Supreme Allied Commander
has been outmoded by the success
full disarmament of Japanese mill
tary forces.
The demand was contained in a
letter from Soviet Foreign Commits
sar V. M. Molotov to U. S. Secre'
tary of State James F. Byrnes,
which was broadcast by Moscow.
The letter objected to Byrnes' an
nouncement that Russia had agreed
to an Anglo-American proposal that
the Pacific powers, including
France, should set up an advisory
commission to explore the neces-
sity of establishing control coun.
Gil for Japan.
This. Molotov's letter declared,
'does not exactly correspond to
the present situation. He indicated
a control council should be set up
Immediately without prior discus
sion by an advisory commission.

Hit At Will
By GAYLE TALBOT

Associated Press Staff Writer
DETROIT, oct. - The Chicago
Cubs whaled the living daylights
out of Hal Newhouser at the very
outset of the World Series today
and defeated the Detroit Tigers, 9
to 0, behind the smooth six-hit
pitching Of Hank Borowy as 81
S37 chilled American League fans
died by degrees in Briggs Stadium.
A stroke of lightning out of tn
clear, sun-filled sky scarcely could
have shocked them more than the
ease with which the Cubs tore into
Newhouser, greatest hurler of the
American League, for eight hits
and seven runs in the first three
innings and drove him from the
hill. %
1t was never ball game - the
opener. The National L que
champs. underdogs, in the pre-se--
ries betting, looked SO far superior
for the day that it scarcely SEEM
ed necessary to play off the classic.
They hammered the ball almost
at will, piling up 10 hits, including
a hornerun by Phil Cavarretta,
triple and two doubles, while only
one Detroit player reached third
base.
BoroWy, who came to the Cubs
from the Yankees for $1U0,ee0 two
months before the season ended,
had his former American League
rivals handcuffed. All the six hits
the Tigers managed off his sharp
curving were singles, and they
didn't look like they could have
scored off him if they had played
another nine frames.
Borowy, the thin, serious young
r.ghthander from Fordham Univer.
sity, signed his application for the
World Series Hall of Fame by his
smoothly pitched victory. He be-
came the second pitcher in World
Series history to pitch a vicotry
both in the American and National
Leagues. He hurled the Yankees
win over the St. Louis Cardinals
in the 1943 classic. Jack Coombs
last completed the trick in 1916 for
the Brooklyn Dodgers, having pre-
viously won in 1910 and 1911 for
the Philadelphia Athletics.

OCCUPATION SPREADS
Newsmen Shed Light On
Conditions In Prisons

TOKYO, Thursday, Oct. 4.-(P)-
japan planned today to ask world
wide aid through the barter system
to dispel the black threat of winter
hunger in the war-wrecked nation,
and Japanese Communists said
their party wants to Grid the coun-
try of Mikadoism."
Nipponese newsmen, taking full
advantage of General Macarthur S
order freeing the Japanese press,
turned light on conditions in the
country's prisons where leaders of
communist and liberal political
thought were tortured.
American forces today extended
their occupation of the conquered
country with first landings on Hok-
kaido, the northernmost home is
land. A regimental compat team of
the 18th Infantry Division took over
at Hakodate. The remainder of the
division is scheduled to enter Otaru
and Sapporo tomorrow.
The Domei News Agency re-
ported Japan would soon ask the
Allies for permission to trade silk
and rayon for the foodstuffs of 9TH
er nations, acting at the request
of sectional chiefs of the offices of
regional superintendents-general.
The Japanese already have asked
Allied Occupation Headquarters for
permission to receive salt and rice
from Korea in exchange for about
$4,000 tons of coal to be delivered
monthly from Kyushu Island mines
in southern Japan.
Domei reporter Tay Tateishi told
of visiting the Fuchu prison 10
miles west of Tokyo and interview
ing Kyushi Tokuda, Shire Ma
tamura an Yoshio Shiga, japanese
Communists who said they were
eager for the Allies to order their
release.
The Japanese prisoners and two
Koreans, Lee Kung Hun and Kim
Chun Hal, related how 10000 Com
munists, arrested in April, 1929,
were beaten with baseball bats and
tortured with burning incense sticks
forced under their fingernails. FL
nally all but 1900 were freed.
Tateishi quoted Tokuda as saying
seven Japanese Communists were
hanged and more than 400 died OF
beatings and malnutrition.
"All three japanese Communists
expressed desire to take an ac-
tive role in Communist activity
now" Tateishi said, adding that the
leaders listed the objective OF the
party in Japan was the distribution
of all state imperial land to the
people and radiance of the country
of "Mikadoism and the Emperor
system of government.
