LITTLE SIGHT SEEING
There is a little sightseeing
prospects. At Naha there is nothing
but ruins. Before the war it was
a flourishing community of about
$4,000 people compressed into an
area of about two square miles. 1t
once boasted such industries as
the tile weaving, the manufacture
of Panama" hats, pottery, lacquer
and the production of liquor and
alcohol. Parks. temples, a couple of
christian churches, modern public
buildings, railroad station are
now mangled masses of masonry.
The boys have been probing
around the area that once housed
some 1000 girls-prostitutes, gaishas
and mattresses with results zero.
The once remainder of modern
plumbing in the area is a sparkling
white porcelain face bowl that now
graces the tent Of First Sgt. Wal
tiers and provides running water
from an engenious pump arrange
ment hooked into nearby well.

decent treatment couldn't fix" he
said in voicing his disagreement
with Sen. Eastland's stand.
The Mississippi senator also
charged that Senegalese troops
raped 5000 German women In a
subway but an intensive probe has
proved that no official record ex-
its Of such mass rape.
Army officials have disclosed
that stern methods were used to
discourage rape after the American
break-through into Germany. At
Frankfurt, 10000 men were impris-
ored at a stockade there on rape
charges but only 40 were Negroes.
Most of these charges were dis
for lack of evidence.

State Officials
Would Keep Up
Tayerns' Rules

SACRAMENTO, May 8. CUP)-
Two members of the state board of
equalization today said they hoped
that the present midnight closing
hours for taverns in California
could be maintained despite the
lifting of the national curfew.
Members James H. Quinn, Oak
land, and Richard E. Collins, Red
ding, said, however, that the board
has no real power to enforce mid
night closing in view of recent
court decision on after hours sales
by Los Angeles bar.
State law sets bar hours at 6 am.
to 2 am, but the board in 1912
adopted an emergency rule for
am. to midnight hours. Military
and naval authorities also have set
midnight curfew for their per-
sonnel.
Quinn said the board may adopt
n resolution Thursday asking bars
TO close at midnight, and said that
he believed most bars would coop
crate.
Collins said he believed the cur
few should stay in effect particu-
larly on the west coast and said he
thought most decent bars would
close at midnight.

closed that a new plan for compul-
sorry insurance for hospital care will
be offered to the legislature this

new attempt also will be made for
passage of compulsory health in
surance measure.
The disability insurance plan
would be financed from the one per

employees for general unemployment
insurance purposes. T. H. Mugford,

Commission, testified that the en-
ploye tax could be diverted without
affecting Solvency of the unem-
ployment insurance fund.
The bill was opposed by employer
representatives, who asserted it
would result in abandonment of pri-
