HEADQUARTERS, AAF SERV-
ICE COMMAND, Italy "The
War in Europe is overt" Staff Ser
geant Robert z. Shuey, 430 Milford
ave., Marysville, joined other mem
bers of his unit in that cry of good
news when the message was flash
ed to the Air Supply Division, at
their base in Italy.
For the past two years, despite
all obstacles. the Air Supply Di-
vision has labored tirelessly and
earnestly to provide the necessary
supplies for our Allied Air Forces.
Organizing as unit in North AT
prica in July 1943, they came to l.
tally in February 1914, and have
successfully supplied all of the Air
Forces in the Mediterranean Thea
ter of Operations.
Officers and enlisted men in the
Air supply Division united in an all
out victory celebration. Speeches
were made and the motion picture,
1.-TWO Down and One to Co was
sshown to all troops. The afternoon
was spent with a large sports fes-
tival, including a baseball game,
donkey race, and many other in
teresting events. In the evening, a
unit party was held and good
time was had by all. There was still
time for each man in the outfit to
dash off that special letter" home.
The next day, every men was
back on the job, for now the Air
Forces and their supplies had to be
directed to "all out" on Japan, and
the task is in no way an easy one.

"Son of Heaven" Fallen

Hirohito called upon General Macarthur In
top hat and morning coat. Macarthur received
him in the customary Army summer khaki
with open collar and no necstie. The signifi-
canoe is obvious. Hirohito, the fallen emperor,
paid his respects to the Supreme Commander,
but the Supreme Commander received his Wis
itor not as an equal but as an underling. No
greater humiliation could have been visited
upon the "son Of Heaven. No greater loss Of
face" could descend upon Japan.
When word goes forth, as it must, that the
Mikado. upon whom no Japanese might look
left his palace, Travelled through the streets in
plain sight and figuratively rang Macarthur S
doorbel, breaking 2,O0o-year precedent, the
Japanese cannot again hope to convince even
themselves that they are the superior race
their military leaders for halt a century
have taught them to believe.
What transpired during the visit is not fully
reported, and such accounts as have come
forth are partially contradictory. For example
one story is that Hiro:aito expressed his will
ingness to abdieate, and another that he Of
fered his best services in the characterization
OF Japan. If he should be dethroned, by abdi-
cation or ousting, he could not possibly exert
much influence upon the future Of the nation.
But it is not necessary to learn the full tenor
Of the conversation between him and MacAr-
thur to know that with the fiction Of the Mi
kado's god-descent exposed by this proceeding,
Hirohito can never become the source inspir-
alton or false prophet Of another war. The
probability is greater that he will become an
object Of contempt with his own people.
On this ground it is questionable if the Wait
upon General Macarthur was well advised, as
long as it is the purpose to use him as chief
stooge in innplementing the Potsdam surren.
der requirements. To be sure Hirohito is un-
derstood to have given Macarthur a pledge
to help enforce these requirements. But it he
becomes pariah in his native land, instead
of "son Of Heaven" his pledge will have
little value.

to an end and the nations economic structure
be demolished.
Because labor has been petted for twelve
years, under the guise Of gains by an sd
rninistration which cherished its voting
strength, union leaders have waxed fat and
powerful and come to consider themselves die
tators, able to enforce any demands upon
Washington and industry. The war with Japan
had no more than ended than they started
one union after another down the strike trail,
regardless of the fact that the chief need fol-
lowing the war was to reconvert industry for
peacetime production. The consequence is that
no newspaper rolls off press without news
of new strikes and more workers off the job.
Relief is needed, and can come best and
quickest from Congress. The Star-News calls
upon the North Carolina delegation to initiate
legislation which will open the doors Of fac
tories to all workers, whether union members
or not With millions Of soldiers returning
from battle available, and entitled to employ
|ment without let or hindrance by Unions the
wheels of industry would all soon be spinning.
Congress should also make it possible to
OI1uS Su1t dSdASt AoUO1 0AAoAASs CD lAaAAO*ASs
should force them to open their books, not
merely their ledgers but books Of original
entry, pay taxes upon their revenues, which
there is good reason to believe fabulous, and
otherwise comply with all laws affecting other
organizations.
But first Of all, Congress. preferably under
the leadership OF the North Carolina delega-
ton in both houses, should stop the vicious
practices of the unions particularly with ref
erence to the untrammeled employment Of re-
turning war veterans wherever jobs are avail
able. These are the men who fought and won
this war, not the union workers in factories
who lived comfortably at home with their
families, while they were facing the Siegfried
line in Europe or living in foxholes in the
Pacific.
Let Congress clear the way for the mill
lions Of men returning from overseas war
service to work where work is to be had, and
the stranglehold Of union leaders would soon
be broken and the nation have opportunity to
60 forward in the postwar era.
And let such action come quickly. Too much
time has already been wasted.
