and economic despots we were assured
that nobody would be allowed to profit
unduly from the war-that there
would be no new crop of war million
aires. But the records OF the profits
made during the war by industry and
business as whole make that promise
as hollow as the promise made to labor
that it's economic position would not
be allowed to deteriorate because of
it's willingness to force the use of the
strike while our country was at war.
The current demands for wage in
creases are being opposed by these
same profit-makers on the grounds
that they are interfering with recon-
version; that they will increase prices
and start an inflationary spiral. The
charge comes with singular inappro-
priateness from the very interests who
profited most during the war and
whose profits have already resulted
in prices which have taken from the
workers the meager wage increases
they received during the war.
INSTEAD of interfering with re-
conversion, labor's demand for wage
increases-and their early realization

duction economy. We proved during

Following termination Of the Al

Foreign Economic Administrator
Leo Crowley revealed that the U. S.
was prepared to advance six billion
dollars in credits to other nations
for procurement of material in this
country to bolster sagging postwar
economies.
At the same time, Crowley said
that negotiations might begin with

by only 5h billions in mutual as

RECONVERSION:

Breathless trying to keep up with
relaxation of intending wartime con-
trolls, the nation contemplated early
removal Of meat, tire and shoe ra-
tioning, even as the government re-
moved restrictions on industry to
permit full-steam ahead on recon-
version.
Following a previous announce
ment that the government had
abolished packer set-asides on beef,
veal and ham supplies for the army
and other federal agencies, an early
end of rationing was expected with
OPA's revelation that it would re-
duce meat point values in view OF
military cutbacks in orders and a
prospective heavy fall run of cattle.

PACIFIC:
Ask Bases

Taking realistic view of the Pa
cific situation, in which the U. S.
looms as the greatest power, the
house naval affairs committee de-
manded that this country be given
control over both Allied and former
Japanese bases for the construc-
ton of a powerful defensive system
capable of resisting attack from any
direction.
Issued by Chairman Vinson
(Dem., Ga.) the congressional
proposal urged U. S. domination of
the whole Pacific area stretching
from the Hawaiians westward to the
Philippines and Ryukus, and in
Guiding the Marshall, Caroline and
Marianas islands. In addition, the
house committee said, the U. S.
should take over American devel-
oped bases in the Manus islands in
the Australian Admiralties; Guadal-
canal in the British Solomons; Es-
piritu Santo in the British-French
New Hebrides and Noumea in
French New Caledonia.
Justifying American control over
Pacific bases, the house committee
cited "the loss of American lives
in taking these bases. The expendi-
ture of vast sums of American mon
ey in establishing and equipping
these bases. The great depend
ence of the world upon the United
States for maintaining peace in the
Pacific and world. :"

for the pent-up postwar market.
Here, body is being slung on chas-
sis Of one of the first cars to roll off
of postwar production line.
November and December, unoffi-
cial predictions that rationing of
cords would be terminated within 80
days were strengthened.
Forecasts that shoe rationing also
may be ended shortly were sup
ported by an announcement of the
Tanners Council of America that
production of civilian footwear may
exceed 30,0O0,0OO pair a month for
the rest of the year, the highest
level ever reached by the industry.
By Topping off most controls and
only retaining authority to assure
military and other emergency pro-
duction, and break bottlenecks in
scarce materials for civilian output,
the government gave manufacturers
the go-ahead signal on such wide
variety of items as refrigerators,
radios, distilled spirits, trucks, oil
furnaces, construction machinery,
metal furniture, motorcycles, photo
graphic films, storage batteries,
waxed paper, sanitary napkins, ma

JAPAN:
Work Out Occupation

w Ork Out Occupation
It's huge guns belching smoke
and fire and bombarding the Nip
ponese coastline just a few weeks
ago, the huge $4,000 ton u. S. battle
ship Missouri was to become the
peace ship of World War II, with the
Japanese formally signing surrender
papers aboard the vessel in Tokyo
bay.
Taking place several days after
u. S. airborne troops were to de-
scend on the Atsugi airdrome south
west of Tokyo to spearhead the jap
anese occupation along with ma
rines landing simultaneously at the
Yokasuka naval base 20 miles be-
low the Nipponese capital, the for
NAL surrender ceremony was to
see General Macarthur signing for
the Allies as a whole, with Ad-
miral Nimitz countersigning for the
u. S. and Admiral Fraser for the
British.
In working out the initial occupa-
ton plans, General Macarthur and
his staff left no stone unturned to
assure the safe conduct of the
u. S. forces. At the same time, the
new Nipponese government headed
by Prince Higashi Kuni strove
to prepare the population to accept
the American landings peaceably
and refrain from riotous outbreaks,
imperiling the whole surrender.
Under General MacArthur's plans,
the Japanese were ordered to ground
all planes and disarm all ships at
sea several days before the first
U. S. landings. Then, while sprawl
ing Allied fleets moved in close to
Nipponese shores, the Japanese
were to immobilize all vessels in
Tokyo bay and strip coastal guns
and anti-aircraft batteries.
AS final precaution, the Japa-
nese were ordered to evacuate all
armed forces out of the immediate
landing area, to forestal possible at
tack by fanatical troops. Guides and
interpreters were to be furnished to
facilitate General MacArthur's con-
troll of the occupation territory.
Jap Casualties
In the first full admission of the
intensity of Allied air attacks, the
Japanese news agency Domei re-
ported that A of the nations 206 or
more cities were almost completely
wiped out by bombings, with a toll
of 260, 1000 killed, 1000 wounded and
100000 left homeless.
Of the total, the atomic bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
accounted for 10000 killed and $780,
900 wounded, Domei said. Declaring
the toll may be even greater, the
Japs revealed that many of the
burned are not expected to survive
because of the nature of the wounds,
while persons only slightly touched
by the fires later weaken and often
die.
Reporting that 2,210,000 homes
were completely demolished or
burnt down, and 10000 partly dam
aged, Domei said that in addition to
the A cities almost completely
wiped out, 81 others, including
Tokyo, suffered loss of over 80 per
cent of their built-up area. Of At
provinces, only 9 escaped with rela-
lively minor damage, Domei re-
vealed.

Vidkun Quisling was hard pressed
in defense of his collaboration with
the Germans in Norway as the
state presented an avalanche Of evil
dence purporting to show that he
had co-operated closely with the
Nazis in their heavy-handed occu-
patton of the country.
Quisling was first taken back by
state presentation of repeatedly cap
tured German documents stating
that the Nazis had used information
supplied by him in their invasion of
Norway. The collaborationist also
was shaken by charges that he had
turned over to the Germans COM
munist leader blocking his political
program and also denied reprieve
to an official sentenced to death for
refusal to force Norwegian girls to
work for the Nazis.
Throughout the trial, Quisling de-
family asserted that he had played
with Naziism in an effort to prevent
British establishment Of bases in
Norway in 1910 and possible inva-
sion of the Scandinavian peninsula
by Russia from the north and Ger
many from the south to thwart the
move. He also claimed to have
worked fervently from 1918 for the
creation of a German, British and
Scandinavian bloc to arrest the de-
velopment Of Communism in Eu-
rope.

LaW Officers Go
To School to FBI
Come From All Ouer Country
To Learn Police Work..

WASHINGTON. - Three times q
year, law enforcement officers from
all sections of the country gather
here for intensive training in the
work of their profession at the hands
of the federal bureau of ~investiga-
ton. This course is known as the
FBI National academy, and in its
14-week curriculum lies one of the
principal reasons for the present
high standards of police work in the
United States.
A total of 1924 law enforcement
officers representing over l00, 900 po-
lice personnel have completed the
course since its inauguration in 1885.
They return to their respective
agencies and set up similar training
programs for their fellow officers.
Thus the FBI is able to pass on to
the entire law enforcement profess
sion the latest techniques in crime
detection.
Throughout the national emer-
gency the FBI National academy
program has emphasized the special
wartime duties of police. Juvenile
delinuency prevention and control
are other important phases of the
training, as is the study of traffic
problems of today and tomorrow.
Much of the instruction is very
similar to that given the FBI's own
special agents. On the FBI ranges
at Quantico, Va, the FBI National
academy members receive extended
training with rifles, machine guns,
shotguns and pistols. They also
study the methods of scientific crime
detection utilized in the FBI labora-
tory and the work of the vast FBI
Identification division which COM
promises over 81, 900, 900 fingerprint
cards - by far the largest collec-
ton in the world.
In addition to improving stand
ards in their own departments,
graduates of the FBI National
academy render invaluable assist
anc to the Omen in their work.
The FBI has handled approximately
600, 900 national security cases as
well as a vast volume of criminal
matters throughout World War II,
but thanks to the cooperation of
these FBI National academy alum
nj, the burden has been borne in
stride.
