bile Comm assault guns, peeps and
in light tanks.
Spearheaded PattOn's Drive.
This was the outfit that spear
headed Gen. George Patton's his
toric slash across Germany and
made juncture with the Russians.
The Sd gave up it's horses in the
early days of this war and was sent
to Camp Gordon, Ga, where it be-
came mechanical.

Sd Cavalry was commanded by Gen.
Patton and another famed World

NewCabinet Of Japan,
Heavily Conservative,
Is Named by Yoshida
BY the Associoted Press

TOKYO, May 20.-A heavily
conservative cabinet was named
for Japan tonight after Gen
Macarthur demanded that "dis-
orderly minorities" cease mass
violence and the physical process
OF intimidation" or he would see
that they did.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Joji Ka-
yashi announced selection by Pre-
mier-designate Shigeru Yoshida of
Is men-siX liberals, five nonpar-
tisans and four progressives. Com
plete approval by supreme head
quarters. however, was reported
doubtful.
Informed japanese commented
they doubted that one, DR.. Hiroshi
Nasu, nominee for agriculture min
ister, would be accepted in view of
MS war conspicuous" record. They
pointed out that he had been asso-
ciated closely with the ultrana-
tionalistic Imperial Rule Association
and was former adviser to the Japa-
nese government in Manchuria.
Four Posts for Yoshida.
Yoshida himself would retain four
posts, Prime minister, Foreign Min
ister, First and Second Minister of
Demobilization.
The other ministers listed by Ha-
yashi
Seichie Omura, nonpartisan, home
minister; Tanzan Ishibashi, liberal,
finance; Chuzo Iwata, nonpartisan
justice; Kotaro Tanaka, nonparti-
san, education; Yoshishige Wawai,
progressive, welfare and education;
Hiroshi Nasu. nonpartisan, agricul-
ture; Jiro Hoshijima, liberal, COM
merce; Tsunejiro Hiratsuka, liberal,
transport.
Kijuro Shidehara, progressive; Ia
kao Saito, progressive; Etsujiro Eu-
hara, liberal, and Sadahichi Hitot-
sumatsu, progressive-an state min
listers
Joji Hayashi, liberal, chief cabi-
net secretary; Toshio Irie nonparti-
san, director of the legislation
board.
Demand That Violence End.
Yosnida decided to continue his
attempts to form a cabinet after
Gen. MacArtnur's demand for
cessation of mass violence" The
statement. although not identifying
the "disorderly minorities," was
interpreted by officers close to Gen.
Macarthur as applying to those
demonstrating publicly against
Yoshida.
Well-informed japanese said the
cabinet list had been forwarded to
the general for consideration, but
officers at supreme headquarters
said the list had not been received
tonight.
Late reports indicated the cabinet
nominees would be presented to
Emperor Hirohito tomorrow, and If
approved by him would be invested
by him at once: it was apparent,
however, that the Emperor would
get Gen. Macarthur consent before
approving cabinet.

Social Security Chief
Asks Federal System
OF JobIess Benefits
BY tine Associated Press

Arthur j. Altmeyer, chairman OF
the Social Security Board, today
recommended establishment of one
national system of unemployment
insurance.
Mr.. Altmeyer told the House Ways
and Means Committee the board
was making its recommendation be-
cause of inherent defects in a
State-by State" system and added
The Social Security Board has
become convinced that we should
have one national system
in order to furnish the workers OF
this country the maximum amount
of protection against wage loss due
to unemployment.
Rate Reduction Urged.
"The board appreciates that its
recommendation that the present 81
separate unemployment insurance
systems be merged into a single ma
tional system has strong opposition
Apparently some people feel that
the question of what sort of unem-
ployment insurance laws we should
have is something that should be
left entirely to the States to decide
Short of establishing a Federal
system, Mr.. Altmeyer recommended
these changes in the present system
l. That the 3 per cent Federal
unemployment tax rate be reduced
to per cent.
2. That the States be permitted
to reduce the employers contribu-
ton rate below the standard Ia
per cent for which employers could
claim credit against the Federal un-
employment tax.
Joint Financing Urged.
Joint State-Federal financing for
social security benefting every
body in need, no matter what the
cause, was proposed in study
made public today by the Brookings
Institution. 1t would be admins
istered by the States.
The system would establish a
floor below which no one would
be allowed to sink without being
eligible for prompt and certain
public assistance If he desired it,"
a statement on the report said.
The Federal contribution should
come from a universal, 1at-rate
income tax, and maintenance of
reserves in Government bonds would
be forbidden, it was stated.

Eisenhower Urges
Disabled Veterans 10
Fight Causes Of War

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Army
Chief of Staff. yesterday urged a
group of disabled veterans, who
best understand the terrible alterna-
tive" to work for a safe, enduring
and democratic peace.
He made his plea for peace to
36 national service officer trainees,
graduating from a special course at
American University to teach them
to work among their fellow disabled.
Among those he addressed as
comrades in arms" were a young
veteran with one leg who marched
on crutches to get his diploma, an
other with shell fragments still
lodged in his heart: others who have
lost sight and hearing in the war.
Gen. Eisenhower spoke after Irv-
ing Peltz of Brooklyn, who lost
leg, an arm and an eye on the
Anzio beachhead, read the scripture
lesson beginning BE strong and OF
good courage :" and John
Goelz of Ohio, who lost his hearing
in a plane explosion in the South
Pacific, said in valedictory that dis
abled men are not useless"
Must Eliminate Suspicion.
| Calling for leadership from the
disabled, Gen. Eisenhower told the
graduates that the visible evidence
of their physical suffering makes
you also marked men in the auto
matte respect and dignity that will
be accorded your words by others
who have not undergone the trials
of the battlefield" He said people
will listen to them because all the
world acknowledges the dignity OF
sacrifice.
In discussing the problems of OBJ
tanning q permanent peace, Gen.
Eisenhower said, 1--WE must deal with
those who do not understand us,
| just as we do not fully understand
them. We must work with those
who view our motives with suspicion
as we may sometimes be suspicious

Grams were twofold. The immedi-
ate problem, he said, was to help
them readjust to civilian life. The
problem that will continue for many
years, he added, involves taking care
of the sick and disabled.
Among those congratulated by the
two generals were Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Stevens, who met and mar
ried while taking the course. The
two will be assigned to San Fran
cisco to continue their studies to-
gether.
Only Washington veteran in the
group was former Staff Sergt. Jo-
seph M. O'Connell, 16 Buchanan
street NE, who holds the Purple
Heart and the Silver Star for action
in Normandy. One of five brothers in
the service. the former sergeant will
continue his training as national
