such procedure can follow, or that
'revengeful blood purges' will be per-
mitted when Americans are charged
with prosecution and Judgment is Of
fensive to say the least.
ITO those Americans present In
the Far East who have had any op-
portunity to observe the trials al
ready completed, not alone of
Yamashita and Homma, but of
other Japanese officers and soldiers
down to the humblest rank, one of
the outstanding features has been
the skill and zeal with which Amer
lean officers and defense counsel
have performed disagreeable but
solemn duty in conducting such de-
tense proceedings.
ut is unique to find the principal
criticism of administration of JUS
tice leveled at the promptness in
bringing criminals to trial and Inn
posing punishment even though
clear proof of guilt be established
where the trials have been orderly
and complying with every substan-
tial requirement of law and jus
tice otherwise
Private Counsel Provided.
Already, Gen. Macarthur has
been emphatic in his instructions
that every care be exercised to see
that these trials are fair and that
due precautions are taken to insure
adequate opportunity for fair presen-
tation of defense.
This includes providing private
defense counsel from the already
sharply depleted ranks of military
personnel, and regardless of difficul-
ties of obtaining military and civilian
legal personnel from our own coun-
try and those of Allied nations.
"It can be safely assumed that
those who have upheld their coun-
try's honor during active hostilities
on the field Of battle will not fail to
sustain it when hostihties cease"

were thrown into confusion yester-
day by the Mayors proclamation,
gathered in groups on sidewalks OUT
side their building ahead of open
ing time and talked about the
shutdown.
Pay Is Big Question.
A big question was whether they
would get paid for not working
yesterday. No official ruling was
available, city officials refusing
comment and union of1cials saying
no policy had yet been formulated.
Business leaders gloomily took
account of their losses. It was esti-
mated the shutdown cost the gar
ment industry 5000, 900. depart
ment stores, $4,000, 900, and the en-
tertainment industry, $1,000, 900.
The tugboat strike situation itself
was at a standstill after a commit
tee Of tugboat operators refused to
meet with union representatives at
a City Hall conference.
The only hope of settlement of
the walkout was an indication by
Mayor ODwyer that the committee
might meet with union officials at 2
pm. today If they obtained permits
sion from the full membership of
the Tug Owners Association.
Union Agrees to Arbitrate.
Union. men have agreed to submit
the wage-hour dispute to arbitra-
ton, but the owners as yet have not
reached agreement on procedure for
arbitration of the issues that led
to the walkout.
The revocation of the shutdown
order was effective at 6 o'clock last
night. Mayor O'Dwyer, in announc-
ing the return to normally, said ''the
emergency has been somewhat re-
lieved."
Ernest L. Stebbins, health COM
missioner, told the city that he was
resembling the order because 2,000,-
600 gallons of fuel oil were brought
into the city yesterday and that he
had been assured of the services
today Of several additional tugs by
the Once Of Defense Transporta-
ton.
This amount OF transport" he
said, will assure us of sufiicient
oil for essential uses. The situation
is still acute and conservation is
necessary. But, in view of the
marked improvement in "a hours,
we feel justified in resembling the
order closing all business establish
ments in this city"
Night Clubs Reopen.
Night clubs and theaters-which
had told their employees to remain
away from work until further no.
tice-were caught short-handed last
night. Hurried calls to workers,
however, remedied the situation,
and, as twilight deepened, Times
Square blossomed In subdued Moons
and Misunderstanding brownout
still being in effect. SO
Bars opened and the thirsty
swarmed in. Motion picture houses
threw open their doors and enter
tainment-hungry thousands stormed
them enthusiastically.
Times Square, which short few
hours before had rested in Sab
bath-like stiffness and where man
feeding pigeons was enough to
attract crowd, quickly filled, and
Broadway was turned into bedlam.

alive, and to put upstart COMPETE
tion in the corner to which Shaw
has always consigned it. "Pygma-
lion" is minor to the point Of being
perfunctory on Shaw's 90-year shelf
of plays, but with Miss Lawrence 1t
is already major among the years
drama events just as it was last
season in New York.
The single lament to be uttered
OF Theater Ines perfectly cast,
vividly staged production is that it
is to remain but one week instead
Of the remainder of the Nationals S
season.
There have been some changes
in the roster Of players since "Pyg-
malion" was last years Broadway
triumph. But there has been no
diminution of the brilliance OF the
comedy or its star. Dennis King
fits splendidly into the role of Hen
ry Higgins played originally by
Raymond Massey. And, excellent
as he was, Sir Cedric Hardwicke
can hardly have found more ir3
reverent joy in the character of
Alfred Doolittle than does Ralph
Forbes. The common man never
found a more uncommonly arch
and ribald spokesman than Shaw's
dustman, vital point Forbes never
leaves even minutely fuzzy.
Miss Lawrence could not have
found. q more perfect vehicle to
mark her return to Washington
after an absence of several seasons.
She was q mere mink when Shaw
dreamed up Eliza Doolittle back
in 1912. But the comedy OF the
guttersnipe who became grand
Duchess in six months might have
been written for her. She flies
wing-on with Shaw in the quickest
turnings of his wit, and at the high
est levels Of his Imagination. They
are two genuises having the time
of their lives and leaving not a
single escape for those who might
feel too dull to 60 along Tor the
ride.
It is the original "Pygmalion,"
not the one which Shaw retouched
for the movies several years ago.
that is being presented at the Ma
tional.
But in dealing with mans man
ners and morals, the first text OF
the comedy avoids all intimation
of being dated. Man, Shaw says,
Is the same ridiculous so-and-so he
has been since he fell out of Para
disc and that he will be until he
blows himself of the face OF the
earth. In "Pygmalion" he makes
himself the butt Of more merciless,
unroarious fun than six dozen clever
imitators of Shaw have been able
to make him in six times that many
comedies.
The highest demands Of Shaw's
kindly malice in "Pygmalion," OF
course, are those upon Miss Law
renee and King. To her, as Eliza
Doolittle, the playwright turns for
conclusive evidence that the differ
ence between a guttersnipe and q
duchess is six months work on the
formers speech and manners. Kings
task is that of providing the In
struction In both departments OF
department, but with q bitterly
cruel indifference which makes the
plays reproof as sharp as its COM
edy is delightful.
Between them, the principals OF
the revival leave little doubt OF
Shaw's expertness on all levels OF
dramatic writing On the mere en-
tertainment plane. he has a hilari-
ously funny romantic tale to tell Of
