Okina1va Japs ProUe Ability To Rebuild
Interesting Economic Plan Put into Effect by Yonks

Hyp FRANK H. BARTM0LO OMEW lUmlted Press Stan COrrespondent)
 0kinawa, Sept. 20-(UP)-Okin- ava, scene of the wars last great battles, offers on interesting pre- view of Japan's transition to peace-time economy under Ameri- can military direction.
 Approximately 32B,000 Japanese civilians are rebuilding homes, towns and factories and also con- structlng roads, airflelds and harbor installations for the .. s. occupA- ton forces.
 The work Is under the direction Of Admiral J. D. Price, who this week took over as military governor.
 The OkinawanS are not receiving any pay from the Americans for this work. Instead, credits are on. tered on record books for future adjustments which will be applied to the cost of supplemental food and supplies furnished the civilian population.
 Salvage
 The OkinaWAns are rebuilding with salvaged materials since the Army will not furnish new construc- ton materials. Thus for, they have built Q sugar mill, Q tile factory and other small industries in addi- ton to rebuilding their homes and towns.
 Naila, the lslands former metrop- oils and capital, has been taken over by the Americans exclusively for military use along with shuri and MAchinato. These sites have been declared out of bounds to the native population, which has been fcrbidden to rebuild them.
 The Japanese on Okinawa cleaned up themselves, their homes and re- markedly within the o0-day span since the American victory here ct which time they were dirty, dazed,

fabble picking their way through the wreckage.
 E'hese people are shorter and darker than the natives of Japan's four home islands and are looked upon by Tokyo as country buTnp- kins. Many of California's Japanese farmers are natives of OkinaWa. Amenable
 Now showing themselves as iiduSs trious and amenable to American discipline, the Okinawans readily are accepting the assumption that their island will be permanently under United States ownership.
 They have resumed operation of their own hospitals with U. s. Army doctors replaced by native doctors, dentists and nurses. The hospitals still are operating with American medical supplies. Usually one Amer. lean medical corpsman Is assigned to each in c supervisory capacity
 Self government has been re- stored to the civil populace with each community holding on election of selectmen without interference by occupation forces after which the elected selectmen chose Q mayor.
 The non-fraternization rule for troops still Is enforced depslte the ready and apparently ungrudging acceptance of American rule by the Okinawans and their willingness to perform ali the required labor without pay in money.
 Tn addition to the 32B 900 civil. fans under American rule here, there are number of Japanese prisoners Of war who also are work ing for the occupation forces. Their principal job Is Atevedoring.
 Tank Program
 The American program for per- manent occupation of Okinawa is proceeding smoothly with the com. pletion of oil works underway when the war ended, including seven air. fields on the base for It. Gen. James II. Doolittie's Eighth Air Force and c great air depot at Mana. ft
 Generally, the Navy is centering It's construction program on the eaStern side of the island and the Army on the western. The Navy Is in overall control again.
 The Army installations are under the supervision of Brig. Gen. L. A. Lawson. Island commander. Law son is an Army Air Forces general from Btirbank. Calif

owner of missing articles.
 Forwarded to Kansas City
 Personal effects of men killed in action are forwarded by the Fol- emhray depot to the next of kin through the Army effects bureau F In Kansas City, Mo.
 Before transferring the proper ty, however, the Kansas City de- pot first determines that the per. son to receive the property is the legitimate heir as indicated by the soldier In his Army records,
 Money Is the easiest of all coYn- moditieS to handle. The CT gold Is not forwarded to owners, or in case of deaths to beneficiarieS, but is turned in to Army finance and credited to the soldiers accounts. In this manner during the past year Si,s76,0o0 have been Ste;red home to rightful owners. Many valuable items, other than cash, are also found among the personal effects picked up by the depot wrist watches, personal photographs of combat action, jewelry, etc.
 For this reason Q depot rule re- quireS that all civilian employees who handle personal items must Do searched before leaving the ware. houses. As further insurance against loss or theft, these valua- bles are kept locked up In Q vault like room.
 Commanded by Col. A. O, Ram. sey of Osage City, Kan, the depot originally went into operation n Normandy on D.Day plus 2e. At that time the unit consisted of 30 enlisted men and four officers. It's staff now numbers oi0 civil. fans, i76 American enlisted men, 90 officers, and 2O0 German prls. oners of war. The German POWs are used chiefly for the heavier work of shipping and packing.
 The civilians are French, several hundred of whom are clerks in the cof8 dependence and file section. In. asnauch aS few of them speak Eng. fish, .ach clerk Is thoroughly schooled in oil English vocabulary which pertains to his particular specialized job.
 Tn this way the language diff. ficulty Is easily overcome and the work of the depot is carried on with c maximum of officiency.
 Unlike most lost and found de. partments this one ct F'oleinbray is not predominantly ar umbrella stand, but if it'S bicycles you're missing they've got plenty.

 At Folembray, Aisne, France, the United States Army operates what is probably the largest lost-and- found department in the world largest and probably the queerest, too.
 For here in the quartermaster personal effects and baggage depot anything Is liable to turn up, any thing from live hand grenades and armed booby traps to stuffed snakes.
 During the last year of operation up to July 1, le46, the depot has handled 100000 pieces of baggage or other bits of personal effects. But despite this huge turnover there @till remains unclaimed and unpro- ceased another 100000 Items,

On the other hand, the stoppage
of food parcels from the country
to the towns has resulted in an
accumulation of stocks Of all
kinds.
For the housewife life is sim
plified if only because she is not
only sure that her food tickets
now will be honored but she IS
already drawing more ratlons
than at any time since the occu-
patton. There is no longer any
necessity to stand for long hours
IN line outside food shops. For
example the meat ALLEGATION is
now increased from around
three ounces to nearly eight
ounces per week per person.
Over and above this there is
weekly distribution of four
ounces of canned meat. This is
about equal 10 the British meat
rations. The bread ration is soon
TO be increased from 10 to 13
ounces day and there has been
great Improvement in quality
and color thanks to shipments of
American white flour. Incident
ally. the increase in bread ra-
tioning has caused the disappear
ance of false bread cards.
Babies and young children
still only get about one pint and
a half of milk day. This is not
even full cream milk and what
with lack of transport and re-
frigerator cars 1t sOurs very
quickly. There has been no milk
at all for adults for the past
three years. Potato supplies are
now adequate and coming in
regularly from neighboring mar
ket gardeners. There is also a
plentiful, because seasonal, sup
ply of green vegetables and such
fruits as apples, grapes and pears
which are being sold freely in
open air markets and grocery
stores for the first time in four
years.
