SAN FRANCISCO, Jan l.-The West will have in excess of three million more residents than 1t had before the war, F. w. Hunter, Re- gional Director of the U. S. En- ploymsnt Service, predicted today in year-end statement on employ ment.
 He said there is urgent need for an expanded employment program in the Western States this year
 West Coast employment levels in the first quarter of 1946 will de- pend largely" he declared, upon the joint efforts of management, labor and government in overcoming ob- stacles in three major objectiyes.
 "1-Proyide new job opportunities by accelerating expansion of western industries, trades and services. "2Take emergency action to re- neve housing shortages hampering reconversion and employment.
 '3-Take direct action in breaking bottlenecks of material shortages through increasing stockpiles of materials urgently needed to pro- vide jobs Humber. metals, rubber, oil and fabricated products-includ- ing surplus property held by the armed services.)"

 Aviation
Industry Leaders Most 0p- timisfie in Statements
 Made Today

NEW YORK, Jan Aviation in- dustry leaders looked to 1946 as their greatest peacetime year.
 In year-end statement Ernest R. Breech, president of Bendix Aviation Corporation, said. The aviation industry faces the fact that while volume is coming down, future research costs are going up. The necessity for exploring entirely new phases of aerodynamics, to- gether with jet, gas turbine and rocket propulsion and guided mis- siles will entail greatly increased financial appropriations for re- search. To guard our security, Am erica must be pre- eminent in the technical and production skill re- ouired to apply these new de- velopments to the perform anee si.izitary and naval aircraft of the future"
 William M. Allen, president of Boelng AlrcraIt CO., Sald renlrlng of employees layed off at the time of termination of war contracts has now begun. We expect there will continue to be a gradual in- crease in employment during the next several months as the new year gets under way. We are op- timistic that the future will pro- vide substantially larger opera tion in Boeing plants than did pre- war days. The use of aircraft in general has increased tremendously in the past several years, and should increase a good deal more with the advent of new planes having lower operating costs.

MARSHALL IS
 SLATED FOR
 pEACEMAkER
General Will Probably Be Mediator in China's
 Turbulent Affairs

CHUNGKING, Jan Gen. George c. Marshall conferred for two hours today with Communist Gen. Chou En-lai amid indications the American war leader would accept the role of peacVnaker in Chinas turbulent internal affairs.
 The Presidential Envoy's staff declined to disclose the nature of the discussions, but it was be- lieved the conversion covered a wide range-including particularly the Communists proposal for an unconditional truce in. the fighting in North China and the central governments counter proposal.
 Although the Communists pre- viously had presented their side in broad outline to Gen. Marshall, it was the first long talk between the two.
 The meeting was considered as signifying that the Communists are not opposed to the idea of Marshall acting as mediator be- tween them and the Central Gov ernment It was indicated earlier by a member of Marshalls staff that he would accept the role of peacemaker.
 The spokesman said that the Presidential Envoy obviously could not announce his stand until the Communists had replied to the governments peace proposals, but that it was a pretty good assump- ton" that the Central Government had consulted the American war leader. !.

WORLD CELEBRATES ARRIVAL OF l946
The W ashlngton Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Just about a week before his fatal accident, Gen. George s. Patton removed his pearl-handled revolvers. handed them to a doorman, and joined a reception at the Copenhagen resi- dence of American Minister Mo nett Davis. He was piloted on a quick hand-shaking tour of the room by his host, stopping briefly to meet Representative Henry Jackson of Everett, Wash.
 Jackson, in turn, introduced Patton to Dr. Nils Bohr, famed Danish scientist whose discovery of heavy water was one of the basic steps leading to development of the atom bomb. Bohr had refused to pursue his research further for the Nazis, despite their enticing offers
 Patton grasped Dr. Bohrs hand, but not realizing who he was, had started to turn away when Con- gressman Jackson said:
 General, this is the Dr. Bohr whose basic discoveries had so much to do with the atom bomb, ,
 Patton wheeled in his tracks, stuck his hand out again, and said
 50 you're the guy that almost lhlew me out. of a jobl"
 He and the Danish scientist then settled down for a long chat about atomic power

NEW YORK, Jan. Lone mill lion frenzied revelers jammed Times Square in traditional fashion at midnight as New York and the nation gave a tumultuous welcome to 1946.
 The throng, whose size was of- ficially estimated by Police Com missioner Arthur Wallander, let go with a gigantic cacophony of shouts, whistles. horn blasts and shrieks of joy as the New Year rolled around.
 The celebration, however, was one of the most orderly in years despite the unleashed hilarity, Wallander said. Up into the early morning hours no serious accidents or property damage had been re- ported, More than 2,000 policemen were CT duty iii the Times Square area
 An unusual aspect was record breaking demand for champagne.

Note of Hope for Future Heard in Countries
 Hungry and Cold
lBy The Associated Pressl

The world, free from war for the first time in six years. greeted the New Year on a note of hope today but in many lands the cele- brations were tempered by hunger, cold, sorrow and strife left in the wake of marching armies.
 Tn the United States all stops were out. Across the nation from coast to coast. millions damned night clubs, poured out into the brightly-lighted streets and yelled themselves hoarse in the loudest and widest celebrations since 1889
 It was tiie same in the greai capitals of the United Nations throughout the world. In Moscow Paris London and Chungking wine flowed freely and toasts were drunk to friendship. The swank hotels were filled with gay throngs and private parties lasted far into the morning.
 In Germany and Japan the day was observed with sobriety. There was little gaiety in the bomb wrecked cities, where many fami- lies quietly drank carefully hoarded bottle of wine but re- mained cold and hungry.
 Hailed With Hope
 Berlin newspapers hailed the new year with hope that it would be turning point for better Germany while the Japanese heard their emperor admit in a new year rescript that he was not divine and informed them that they were not destined to rule the world.
 Despite the problems which be- set the world, messages of hope were voiced from many quarters.
 Pope Plus XII, in an address tc the papal guards, expressed opti- mism for the future and said he was thankful that the year 1945 saw the end of the terrible world conflict.
 In a message of encouragement to the French people, President oe Gaulle said France was beginning the new year with ardor and with courage" and added we know that many obstacles remain to be sur mounted but we know also that everywhere we are making pro- gress."

PEARL HARBOR HITS GOLD

Despite cold water thrown by Democratic bigwigs, the Pearl Harbor probe has developed some hitherto little-known information, highly important when it comes to the vital problem of keeping the future peace.
 A procession of military-nava men, beginning with Gen. Marshall, testified before the Pearl Harbor Committee that they did not want Secretary of State Hull to send his showdown note to Japan on Nov. 27, 1941, because Japan was better prepared than we and they wanted to spar for time.
 Sparring for time was the whole policy of the U. s. Army and Navy for more than a year before Pearl Harbor. Yet, just prior to that, they, themselves, had seri- ously undermined Hull's policy by permitting the sale of airplanes and munitions to Japan. In other words, the military made Hull's policy ineffective and then com plained about the results of the policy which they had sabotaged.
 Take, for instance, the question of Douglas Aircraft AS the Doug las people state quite correctly they received permission from the War Department before Gen. Te- rauchi made his amazing visit tc
