operation he wants.
To Probe Status
He is going to find out what
agencies and organizations in the
city are concerned with inter-racial
and inter-cultural improvements,
observe their procedure, and then
implement their job and work with
them through an active inter-racial
committee.
I think Humphrey is going to
offer the challenge to local groups,
and if they fail, the blame can
be laid to their own apathy and
inaction.
He also put his finger on the
sore-spot that has caused trouble
numerous times in larger cities, and
may ultimately cause it in the
smaller towns. 1t is Humphreys
idea that each policeman walking
a beat in each individual neighbor-
hood, can be an invaluable aid to
peaceful and harmonious COM
munity relationships if he is aware
of the problems of the people in his
district.
81 want each one of the police
officers in Minneapolis to be little
public relations bureau all in him
SELF" the Mayor said. 81 have some
very definite ideas about it, and I
think it's very important that they
be trained to handle any difficult
situations that may arise"
Alteration Started Riot
He wants to work closely with
Chief of Police Edward Ryan on
this, and hope he can. 1t was a
minor alteration between a white
policeman and Negro serviceman
that set off the spark leading to
the disturbances in Harlem two
summers ago.
won't forget the morning after
the riots when l walked through
block after block of shattered store
fronts and debris-piled sidewalks.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of destruction, and irrepar-
ably-ruined businesses resulted be-
cause one policeman gave in once
too often to the rule of violence
first, questions later.
1t is Mayor Humphreys idea, and
one which has been proven by facts,
that a policeman patrolling a beat
in neighborhood populated mostly
by an underprivileged minority
group, can either be a friend or a
foe of the people, depending upon
how much he understands of the
Illustrations, wants and needs. Once
he has an understanding of these
factors, he can understand the an
tagonisms against him.
In New York, the need has been
recognized but so far nothing has
been done about it. I think Mayor
Humphrey believes Minneapolis can
take the lead and point the way.
No Special Consideration
He also believes, and strongly,
that when an individual has broken
the law, civil or criminal, he de-
serves to be punished accordingly.
Humphrey does not believe in
special consideration for special
groups.
when a man comes to me in this
office, as far as Pm concerned he's
innocent, but if he's proven wrong,
he's wrong, regardless of his color,
creed or race"
If Mayor Hubert Humphrey con-
tinues in office with the same forth
rightness of spirit, the discerning
wisdom, and the belief in taking a
man for what he is, we are going
to hear more of him in future years.
He is a refreshing newcomer on
the political scene. There will be
times, 1 know, when his ideals and
his enthusiasm will take a beating,
but if he's right, the people who
put him in office will stand behind
him.

Australians Criticize
I'Kid Glove Policy Of

BY the Associated Press

oy Vic hSsoSioscuT
SYDNEY, Sept. 1o.-Australian
press and public today showed
mounting dissatisfaction over what
many decried as Gen. MacArthur's
'kid glove" peace policy for Japan.
This reaction included bitter crit
icism Of Gen. Macarthur and praise
for Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey, COM
mander in chief of the Australian
Army.
Newspapers used editorials and
huge headlines to describe Japanese
atrocities and to express disRleasure
with any easy peace for Japan.
Blunt language was heard on all
sides on streets and in public vehi-
cles. The reaction also was re-
vealed in interviews and letters pub
lished In newspapers.
The Sydney Sun said: "MacAr-
thur did little to allay world fears
of soft peace for Japan in his
statement on the future control of
the Jap government ." All
people stand solidly behind the gov
ernment of Australia in insisting
that Jap war criminals be made to
pay for their crimes"
A Daily Mirror headline read:

NEW YORK, Sept. To- Nine.
Chang Kai-shek says the attitude
and action of the United States
probably will be "the greatest single
determinant in shaping the world
of tomorrow"
And, she adds, 'it is the will of
the people, not words. which can
make or break the peace"
In an article for the New York
Herald Tribune, written before she
returned to Chungking and pub
lished today, the wife Of China's
generalissimo says:
Most Of us would agree that had
the United States taken an active
part in the defunct League of Ma
tions such a course might have
given the league SUFFICIENT vitality
and moral strength to have pre-
vented the Second World War.
I'VE would also agree that the
most hopeful factor today toward
the realization of a permanent peace
is the active participation and lead
ership given by the United States
in the formation of the Charter of
the United Nations.
"In both these cases, let us note,
the decision, first, for -partici-
patton, and later, for participation,
was due to the will of the American
people as expressed in public opin-
ion."

Atomic Developments
IWilI Fix Fleet Size
By the Associated Prsss.

6y tHe AsbOClhLco ffeSt.
Developments in atomic and
robot-type weapons probably will
determine the size and shape Of
the postwar Navy, naval leaders
in Congress believe.
Senator Walsh and Representative
Vinson, chairman of the Senate and
House Naval Committees, said yes
terday the Navy Department wants
postwar fleet of 1,079 fighting
ships-nearly as large as the pres
ent one.
Their joint announcement said
they will introduce authorizing reso-
lutions in Congress today.
Thorough Study Seen.
They added the opinion that their
committees will attempt no decision
until after "a thorough study of the
changes 1t would be necessary to
make In the structure and organiza-
ton of the Navy due to the prob
able emergence Of new weapons of
war employing the principles used
in constructing the robot and atomic
bombs"
Senator Walsh and Mr.. Vinson
said it was proposed that of the
total fleet: third be kept fully
manned and ready for any emer-
gency; one-third be organized into
reserve fleets and partially manned,
and the remainder be held in de-
commissioned status but available
for recommissioning If needed.

Michigan said that Congress ought
to agree to keep politics out of the
Pearl Harbor inquiry.
AS one legislator who is considered
certain to be among the investiga-
tors, Senator Ferguson declared the
public is going to be disguised with
the whole affair if either Demo-
Gratis or Republicans try to make
capital of it.
Congress ought to set out to find
out the facts" he told a reporter.
The public should know those facts
without establishment. If any at
tempts are made to cover up or to
smear anybody. he won't be get

The object Of the inquiry, he con-

against equal representation. Theirs
