THE JAPANESE OCCUPATION

H " of Japanese occupation gives the American people the complete satisfaction and great comfort of knowing the capacity of Japan to make is totally and permanently destroyed.
 This the primary purpose of the ocupation, of course, aid it necessary, despite the overwhe ing military defeat of Japan.
 While there has never been a more crushing de- feat than that achieved by the American armed forces against the Japanese military establishment, the end of the found Japan with nearly seven million men still under and industrial establishment only partially and temporarily ncapacitated.
 The tasks of demobilizaton and industrial liquid ation had to be performed Japan to remain potential and ultimately formidable enemy, and only vigiant occupation vigorously conducted could per- form them.
 General Macarthur given the responsibility for the performance of these essential and vital tasks and the virtual completion of his mission within the span of single year not only full vindcaton of the trust reposed in him by the American people but is per haps the most brilliant and amazing administrative achievement in the history of the world.
 The American people would be of short memories and dull minds if they did understand the gigantic proportions of the task General MacArthur has per formed, in the face of unmaginable difficulties and grave hazards and of both hidden harassments and open obstruction.
 Japan one of the greatest military powers in all history at the start of the Pacific war, and it certainly the most evil of all powers in human exper fence.
 When reflect upon these facts and then real ize that today Japan is incapable of putting single soldier in the field single fighting ship upon the single combat plane in the air. grasp the ter fnality of the Japanese defeat.
 It was surely the military defeat of Japan that broke the vast and evil power of the Japanese nation
 But it remained for the subsequent occupation to banish the ominous seeds of this great evil from the Pacific world.
 And General MacArthur who had the military genius to accomplish defeat of Japan, has now proved the master administrator of victory and guarantor of our peace.
 These certainly matters of great satisfaction and comfort to the American people.
 But there is an additional matter of great moral qualification to the American people.
 AS General MacArthur reports, now and forever.
 But Japan has not been destroyed as nation and the Japanese people have not been treated ruhlessly vindictively.
 The year of American ocupaton ends with the Japanese people participating in their government for the very first time in their history and enjoying rights and liberties they have known before and having to freedoms and opportunities and dig nifty and prosperity always beyond their dreams throughout the long ages of their national existence
 The American defeat of Japan has been pure and unmtigated blessing to the Japanese people-and

necessary to restrict the diet OF
some patients to avoid an excess
sive gain in weight. The total
weight gain should not exceed %
pounds. In restricting the diet,
starches such AS bread, cereals,
and potatoes, and sweets are
limited. Fats may have to be cur
tailed to some extent.
Protein Foods
However, protein foods in the
diet, such as meat, milk and eggs,
and foods supplying minerals,
such as fruits and vegetables, are
kept at high level. Moderate ex-
crcise, but never to the point Of

pregnancy is permissible if no ab-
normal conditions are present and
if it does not require long hours
of standing or produce fatigue.
There has been tor some time a
question as to whether Or not
women should take automobile
trips during pregnancy. Accord
ing to Doctor Levy the data in
dicate chat early birth does not
occur any more cften among
women who travel than among
those who stay at home. Of
course, a pregnant woman should
keep in constant touch with her

Wolcott, Lytle Wins IRA Tennis Doubles

William Wolcott and Cliff Lytle of Scovill won the I. R. A. Tennis Doubles Championship yesterday at the Overlook court by defea ting Bill Wells and Jim Mullen also of Sco- will in three straight matches, 60, 6-2 and 6-4.
 Previous to the finals yesterday Wolcott and Lytle defeated George Dietz and Bruce Edmunds of Wa terbury Companies 6-2 6-2 and went to the Semi-finals where they defeated and other Scovill team John and Roger Makepeace, 6-2 1-6 6-2. Wolcott and Lytle were sup posed to represent the Scovill team in the State Doubles event held last Saturday at Stamford but due to postponement of their first sched uled matches there were unable to play. The State event might have been an altogether story if the Dou- bles Champs had made the trip due to the fact that Walter Dean of the Scovill team won his singles match there and the team needed only to win the doubles event to take the team match from Bridge port and enter the finals.
 Awards and trophies for the ten his and other Summer Sports will be presented at the Annual Banquet later this month.

Industry's Wheels Lag In FIotbush
BY MILTON HICKMAN

New York, Oct. 2-(UP-Indus- try's wheels came to virtual stand still in Flatbush today and prospects were they won't revolve normally again until mid-winter.
 The halt in Brooklyn industry even received presidential bles- sing. John Cashmere, borough president of Brooklyn, was the fel- low who gave it.
 Realizing that Flatbush citizens couldn't effectively do their work while the Dodgers were locked in 8 life and death struggle with the St. Louis Cardinals, Cashmere ysster- day asked all Brooklyn firms to permit their employees to listen to the playoff games between the Buns and the Redbirds. However, he did not insist that the bosses pay time-and-a-half for extra innings.
 Cashmere said:
 'It is apparent to any farseeing citizen of this metropolis that dur ing the playoff between the Dodgers and St. Louis the wheels of indus try will lag in Brooklyn.
 Mildly Put
 Lag" was putting it mildly, in- deed. The wheels stopped dead and chances are they'll be long time in starting again, regardless of whether Brooklyn ultimately beats St. Louis or not.
 The typical Dodger fan is unlike any other fish afloat When Brook lyn is losing he doesn't want to eat, sleep or work. All he desires is a quick winning streak When that comes, he's at peace with the uni- [ verse.
 There was a time when even a casual reference to those hated New York Giants would stimulate his blood pressure and acerbity, but those days are gone, temporarily at least.
 The Giants finished in last place this season and never were in. con- tention. Brooklyn defeated them Is times in 9 games without even ex- tending itself. Mel Otis clumsy crew presented as much a menace to the Dodgers as Broadway Rose presents to Lana Turner's prestige.
 A Giant-Dodger series this season certainly didn't cause work stop- page.
 Cards 'Diffrumt"
 But the Cardinals, as any Flat bush native will explain, are diff frunt."
 The National League pennant is at stake and Brooklyn is one game down. What the Dodgers need most of all, their constituency claim, is "rooting-and plenty of it." And anybody knows that roofing and working do not mix. Employers would be the first to agree.
 So it's everybody out to Ebbets Field for the next two days because all Brooklyn inhabitants are confi- dent it will take two games, at least, to Subdue the balky Missourians. Then, on to the World Series and those Boston Red Sox.
 And when the Dodgers get into the World Series Brooklyn fans mean to show staid, old New Eng- land something about roofing.
 Meanwhile industry in Flatbush I lies bleeding.

 Saturday
By RAY AIRES

New York, Oct. 2 - (UP)-When the Futurity Stakes comes up fo1 it's 57th decision at Belmont Park Saturday the weaker sex may pro- vide the stronger horse when the Ally First Flight takes on the best juvenile colts in the land.
 Three, and possibly four top notchers, won't be presented for roll call since Education, the lead ing money winner of the division and Colonel OF are not eligible while Blue Border, the hopeful win- ner has been thrown out of train ing by a pulled muscle and Cosmic Bomb, his chief rival, also pulled up sore after a workout and is doubt full starter.
 Better Value, I. Will and Jet Pi- lot are fit and ready to go and should make First Flights bid for her fourth stakes victory an inter esting race even though it doesn't decide the juvenile championship. First Flight, a c. V. Whitney homebred, was touted as pretty fair horse long before she ran her first race After winning the Fash ion Stakes the first time she ap- peared under silks, the daughter of Mahmoud was marked as a poten- tial leader in the juvenile division. She has lived up to expectations.
 51 Second Workout
 For the Bay Lady turned on the speed which had attracted atten- tion to her workouts, winning with a 51 second performance to equal the four and a half furlong track record set by Orissa in 1928. The time was four-flfths faster than Beaugay's in winning the stakes in 1945.
 Her next start was against colts and she ran into Eternal War in the Juvenile stakes. Eternal War was hot that day and scored by three lengths although there were some fair colts behind First Flight as she finished second, the only time she fialed to win all year.
 First Flight made her next start III the Astoria Stakes and again was an easy winner But her career came to a temporary halt when she developed a throat infection and a bruised knee.
 From June to Sept. 24 First Flight was out of competition while other juveniles scrambled for purses. When she came back in the Rosemere Purse the public hadn't forgotten her and she romped home at 8 to 5.
 Satisfied that his charge was ready for stakes again, trainer s E. Veitch sent her out in the Matron Stakes and again she was going away the finish, running six fur longs in 1:08 3-5 This sparkling ex- hlbltlon of speed was only two-- fifths of second slower than the track record set by True North as a four-year-old in 1914.
 First Flight has run all her races down the Widener Course at Bel mont and if she can turn back the colts on the straightaway this Sat urday her name will be added to that of Top Flight and the other great Allies who won the Futuritv

fifth. Then it was Red Schoendienst to Slats Marion to Stan Musial
 And in the sixth, with one out and one on, those three hooked up in another.
 Then, in the ninth, the tiring Pol let really was on the spot. Coming up were three of his toughest, Pee-Wee Reese, Bruce-Edwards and Howie Schultz. Among them they had six of the eight hits he had relinquished.
 Big Sticks SiIenced
 Reese had two hits in three tries. But Pollet forced him to fly to Harry Walker. Edwards, the man who bagged two singles, flied foul to Musial And then came Schultz, whose first hit had been a third inning homer to tie the score.
 The first pitch was a ball. and Pollet tugged at his cap and squinted down the lane. Schultz fouled the next one off and the third was called strike. Schultz lunged at the next one but it wasn't there and the ball game was over.
 Wherever he was, Matty certainly must have been smiling.
