Gen. Macarthur
Plans NewCutin
Force in Japan
Combat Troops Total
Will Be Reduced to
&C, 900 by March
BY the Associated Press.

TOKYO, Oct. 11.-Gen. Mac
Arthur today disclosed a revised
plan for his occupation forces,
reducing to four the number of
combat divisions which will re-
main in Japan proper by the
end of next March. The four
divisions - approximately $4,000
men will be in addition to air
service troops and special occu-
patton units.
Under this plan $50 900 American
soldiers will be sent home from the
Pacific theater in the next six
months.
The Americans will return to the
United States at the rate of approx
mately a quarter of a million a
month, leaving by the end of March
only 100000 occupation and gar
rison troops in the entire far-fiung
Pacific theater.
Two Divisions on Korea.
Previously, Gen. Macarthur said
100000 soldiers would be sufficient
for the occupation of Japan, but to-
days announcement disclosed that
100000 men would do the job for
both Japan and Korea. The total
would include the four combat di-
visions on Japan and two on Korea.
Seven thousand men will remain
in the Philippines and $4,000 in
Okinawa and the rest of the Ryukyu
Islands. The rest of the 400, 900 will
be troops and service forces in
Hawaii, the Marianas and other
Pacific bases.
The mass movement from the
Pacific will be handled through
eight big processing centers at Hon
olulu, Okinawa. Saipan, Tacloban,
Jinsen and Manila. Before any di-
visions are sent home the low-point
men will be screened out to remain
with the occupation forces replacing
high-point men from the units in
the field, headquarters said.
Location of Divisions.
AS of January /, the divisions in
the Pacific will be located as fol-
lows:
On Japan, IL divisions-the 11th
Airborne, 1st Cavalry, 77th, 8lst,
25th, 9th, 32d, 41st, Oath, e8th and
33d
Korea: 7th, 40th and 9Th.
Philippines: 93d, 96th and 86th
The divisions which will finally
remain as Occupation troops are
the 18th Airborne, Oath, 25th and
1st Cavalry on Japan; the 7th and
9th Divisions in Korea and the
86th in the Philippines.
Headquarters said the War De-
partment had made a vast amount
of shipping available for the mass
return of troops.

MANILA; Oct. 11.-Laborers, stu.
dents and newspapers poured out
strong protests today against action
of the Philippines Legislature in
voting itself S1,500,000 in back pay

ton.
A check showed 81 assemblymen

Manila workers voted to hold a
protest march and to appeal to
President Truman to halt payment.
Manifestos appeared on the streets
urging university students to at

Newspapers criticized the legisla-
tors for voting themselves full back
pay while other government en-

week end and had driven down to
Stotsenburg before the Baguio raid
Her husband was supposed to meet
her at Stotsenburg, but the Japs
had knocked down one Of the rail-
road bridges on the line leading up
from Manila.
She was stuck, one of the first of
so many defenseless American

that there would be no train to
Manila until the bridge was re-
paired. So I fixed up a room for
Mrs. Necker and got through a call
to her husband.
Mr.. Necker seemed very grateful
and asked me what he could do to
repay me.
Send a message to my wife and
tell her I'm okay," I asked him. He
did this. and sent other such mes

a Christmas wire to Mrs. Vain

closed down.

measure to atomic bombs has
been developed"
Knowledge of electronics.' the
committee said, promises ability to
detonate atomic~bombs at great dis

The report, based on testimony O!
high naval officers, did not explain
the development beyond saying
atomic bombs could be exploded "'fal

The House committee report was
issued as Secretary of Commerce
Wallace told the Senate Military
Commerce Committees that the
United States might stock up more
atomic bombs than other nations
and still be the most vulnerable
of all.
This is essentially an offensive
weapon" Mr.. Wallace testified.

In a formal report on legislation

There can be nc question that
the atomic bomb is the most de-

sci, who was for a number of years
prior to that period in private prac-
tice. and also assistant United States
attorney" Mr.. Keech informed the
Commissioners.
Highly Qualified for Post.
Mr.. West, in my judgment. by
yirture of his education, training. his
long and intimate legal connection
with the District government, his
conscientiousness and loyalty to
those with whom he is associated
plus the high regard in which he is
held by both the bench and bar, is
highly qualified for this position.
His appointment would be well
received by his associates in this
office and other branches of the Dis
trict government.
Mr.. West is a native of the Dis
trict and son of the late Henry
l.. West, who was a District Com
missioner. He was educated in the

from Georgetown Law School in
1908, taking graduate degree a
year later.

Symington Unsuited
For Surplus Post,
La Guardia Declares
Administrator DisIikes
Cities, He Tells Senators
In Demanding Change
BY the Associated Press.

! Mayor La Guardia of New
York said today that w. Stuart
Symington is not competent or
suitable" to administer the sur
plus property disposal law.
Il don't think Mr.. Synlington likes
the cities" the Mayor told Senate
War Investigating Subcommittee
He may be a sharp businessman,
but I don't think he'll do to admin
lister this law"
President Truman appointed Mr..
Symington, a ST. Louis businessman
as surplus property administrator
to succeed the original three-man
board which was charged with
supervising disposal of surplus Gov
ernment war material. Congress
created the one-man administration
at the Presidents request.
Claims Law Disregarded.
Mayor La Guardia contended that
"the board, its successor and the
disposing agencies have deliberately
and willfully and with intention
aforethought disregarded section 49,
of the Surplus Property Disposal
Act. That section gives States, local
governments and nonprofit institu-
tions second call on surplus property,
after Federal agencies.
The Mayor testified cities, in most
instances, were not able to get sur
plus material from the Government
directly, but had to buy it through
Junk dealers"
Section Is is all right" Mayor La
Guardia told the investigating group.
I'VE think it is workable. Instead
of asking for legislative changes, I
think that what we should ask is
an executive change of personnel" "
Mr.. Symington yesterday liberal
lied regulations governing veterans
preference in the purchase of sur
plus property.
S2,500 Limit Ended.
The major changes:
/. Eliminate a $2,500 limit in pur-
chases by veterans. New maximums
will be established by the Smaller
War Plants Corp.
2. Allow veteran entering retail
business to buy an initial stock of
goods.
8. Permit veteran to deal direct
ly with disposal agencies after cer-
tification by the SWPC at the low
est price at which property is sold.
4. Permit a veteran to buy auto
motive or other equipment required
by his employment.
5. Provide for extension of credit
under terms set by the disposal
agency.
6. Give veterans rights to surplus
property to ex-service members re-
leased from active service though
not technically discharged.

Coal Strike Situation
Chilean Presidents Visit
Will Climax Full Day
For Chief Executive
By ]. A. FOX.

PreSlQenJ truman To-Day got
a quick flll-in on the coal strike
as he returned to his desk from
a five-day trip into the Missis-
sippi and Tennessee Valley sec
tionS.
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
was an early caller at the White
House, and after a stay of about Is
minutes, told newsmen he had
brought the President up to date on
the meetings he has been holding
with the disputing factions.
Are you optimistic today?" he
was asked.
Anxious for Settlement.
I'm getting awfully tired-I was
up last night and the night before,
the Secretary responded.
Later, when he returned to the
Labor Department, Mr.. Schwcilen.
bach told reporters that Mr.. Truman
was very anxious" for the disput-
ing factions to compose their diff
ferences.
Charles G. Ross, White House
press secretary, said the President
feels quite clipper" after his five.
State trip which ended at National
Airport at $50 pm. yesterday.
Mr.. Truman has pretty full
calling list today, which will be cli-
NAKED at O'Clock this afternoon
when he greets Juan Antonio Rios
President of Chile, who will be an
overnight guest at the White House
A stag dinner will be held in his
honor.
Going to Theater.
Tomorrow afternoon Mr.. Truman
is going to the National Theater
for special showing of Robert E.
Sherwood's new play, '"The Rugged
Path" The President will have a
party of friends with him, but most
of the theater will be taken up by
disabled veterans from hospitals in
this area
With seeming reference to the
labor picture, the President dis
cussed briefly "our little troubles, y
as he departed from the text of his
prepared speech yesterday while
speaking at the dedication of the
18th and last of the Tennessee VAL
ley dams, OH the Tennessee River
at Gilbe, tsville. KY.
Termirg the labor disputes lust
a blow-up after a let-down from
war;" Mr.. Truman said that I'VE
still have a few selfish men who
think more of their personal inter-
es!s than they do of the public well
fare He added:
But they are not going to pre-
vail. You are not going to let them
prevail"
Then he concluded: Now let's
all go home and go to work. Cut
out this foolishness and make this
country what it ought to be-the
greatest nation the sun has ever
shone upon"
Follows Previous Line.
The tenor of the Presidents re-
marks in brushing aside domestic
troubles was on a line with what he
had to say in his first public utter
ance on the strike situation when
