been on an intensive tour of Mon

Laurel schedule and he spoke for
an hour between the first and sec

address system that brought
his words to the street.

while swimming, strayed from the
craft and was never seen again.

B~oomerangs" fly their 500th mis-
sion in a series of six major cam

against enemy lines of communica-
tons in Africa, Sicily, Italy, France,
and Germany, combined with joint
air-ground operations at S~alerno,
Casino, Anzio, the Gothic line and
the Siegfried line have earned the
Marauder men a reputation for ex-
ceptional precision bombing. Cited
by the war department as a eds
tinguished unit" they have also
been awarded the Croix de Guerre
by General DeGaulle and the French
government for outstanding combat
achievements.

laid down at Potsdam and after that 1t was up to Gen. MacArthur
 Such an answer did not make sense on its face for the simple reason that the detailed plans for cupation of Germany had been carefully worked out in Washington and were handed complete to Gen. Eisenhower for execution And 1t was known that Joint Committee of State, War and Navy department experts had been working for over year on plans to occupy Japan and break up the old Imperial gov- tained that Gen. MacArthur was Mir. Big in the Pacific.
 Shortly after Secretary of State Byrnes went to London for the Big Five conference of foreign mi- sters Dean Acheson held his first press conference as Acting Secretary of State He asked about the occupation policy in Japan because MacArthur al- MacArthur had the power to say what was done in Japan. Questioned further on the point as to who told MacArthur what to do Acheson replied that this was up to the President.
 Less than a week after Acheson made these statements, Gen. MacArthur as supreme commander in Japan announced that only 100000 troops might be needed for the occupation within six months. AcheSon cracked down on him, and this time df- ferent answer was forthcoming. State War and Navy committee co-ordinated American policy on Japanese occupation said Acheson, with instructions going to the occupation forces through military chan by name but there no doubt as to who was meant.
 Macarthur has been severely criticized for his soft policy of occupation and the apparent Slowness with which the Japs have been made to feel they lost the war. With Acting Secretary of State Achesons new statement however, 1t now becomes clear that if the occupation policy in Japan isn't working. 1t may not be so much the fault of Gen. Macarthur as 1t is the fault of the State War and Navy bright boys who made the plans in the first place

 Congress may insist upon knowing how the money is to be spent before any rehabilitation loans made to for egn governments And 1t would seem reasonable that be- fore any billions are lent to Russia this country should have definite that the Comntern will not be vived here.
 Of course the Comintern is officially dead But the American Communists quickly reverted to political action and their party lines after spell of American ism which lasted only long Russia was involved in the European war.
 America, being committed to free speech has tolerated the American Communists long and patiently It has pro- tced them while they preached revolution and the over throw of capitalism One might safely guess that the Mos COW government would have been considerably less patient with revolutionary movement in Russia to set up Amer ican capitalistic system.
 Whatever Communists in Russia or Socialists in Eng land may say about capitalism they cannot deny that the products of Americas capitalist industry helped their countries considerably during the Nor they deny that the billions of capitalist Americas dollars that their countries are seeking would be equally helpful now.
