STRAIGHT SEEING QUAKERs
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Those militant champions of
peace and mercy, the Quakers, are
out with a forceful display adver-
ltisement in the newspapers-appar-
emily written by that valiant old
war-horse of righteousness, Rufus
M. CONSEQUENTLY calling for
food and clothing and shelter for
the little children of even enemy
countries.
No amateur sentimenta1ists are
these doughty Quakers. The work
of the American Friends Service
Committee, in the two world wars,
lis shining record of efficiency,
economy and of garnered good will
for America.
Now, with farther-sighted vision
than most of the statemen, they
plead the case of the helpless lit
tie children, who are to bear a
vital part in remaking tomorrow's
world. In the spirit of the child
loving Jesus, they are promptly
and practically at work in this
great task Of mercy.
Their appeal for action, especial
ly on the part of Congress, should
bring response from every Christ
ian who would heed the Saviour's
"1nasmuch.''
I have long been contributor to
The American Friends Service
Committee, and, as I write this re-
hinder, take down my check book
and send the best contribution my
budget will permit. Philadelphia is
sufficient address.

Thy love and mercy for little chill

the war;" Japaa's defeated lead
ers told the survey group.
1t said that the atomic bomb ad-
ded urgency and lubrication' to
the deliberations of Japan's lead
ers as they considered surrender
early in August 1945. Although the
bombs changed no votes of the
Supreme War Direction council -.
they did f~oreshortel the WAY and
expedite the peace" the report con-
coded.
Russia's intervention, it added,
neither defeated Japan nor ma
terially fastened the acceptance OF
surrender. .."
Franklin O'Olier, president of
the Prudential Insurance company,
headed the 12-man survey board.
The other members were Paul H.
Mite and Henry C. Alexander, vice
chairman; Harry L. Bowman, J. K.
Galbraith, Rensis Likert, Frank A.
McNamee, Fred Searls, Jr., Monroe
E. Spaght, DR.. Louis R. Thomp-
son, Theodore R. Wright and Wal
ter Wilds.
The survey team, commissioned
by Mr.. Truman TO examine the
shambles of the japanese empire,
refuted the belief that the Japa-
nese people wanted peace many
months before their militarists
would recognize the inevitability of
defeat.
"The will of the political leaders
to resist collapse we'll before the
will of the people as a WHOLE" the
report said. But the leaders were
unwilling to act too far in advance
of public opinion" it added. 1t
took American bombers to do what
the peace-feeling Japanese leaders
could not do-convince the Japa-
nese people that they faced un-
conditional surrender or utter de-
struction.
The Americans discovered, how
ever, that the late Gen. Korechika
Anami, war minister in Japan's
surrender cabinet, and his two
chiefs of staff baked at uncondi-
tional surrender ever after the
atomic bombs had been dropped
and Russia had sent her Asiatic
armies into the fight. They were
overruled and shortly the surrend-
er Anami committed hara-kiri.
The war might have ended in the
fall of 1914, nearly a year in ad-
vance of the ultimate surrender,
but for a peculiar tangle of politi-
cal and psychological factors con-
fronting Tojo's successors in the
japanese cabinet, the survey show
ed.
1t said the cabinet of Kuniaki
Koiso, who succeeded TOTO, tend
ed toward peace, but was prodded
into fanatic resistance by several
considerations.

Behavior of American CTS In Japan
Is Disturbing Occup alton Officials
BY TOM

TOKYO. July 13.- (P) The
breakdown by 1t. Gen. Robert l..
Eichelberger on the drunken bull
lies of the American occupation
forces in Japan highlights a subj
ect which has been a major dis
turbance to occupation officials
the behavior of American soldiers
in Japan.
Indicative of the proportions Of
the disturbance is seen in the fact
that the Eighth Army commander
saw fit to release his letter for
publication after having made the
subject a part of his Fourth of
July address to assembled troops.
1t was stressed that The conduct
of the majority of the occupation
personnel has been above re-
proach, but the Objectionable mi
nority have assaulted women. ma
liciously beaten japanese men,
stole, engaged ini black market op-
erations and by their deliberate
bullying attitude have made the
Japanese suspicious of the de-
mocracy which troops are sup
posed to represent.
In the words of Eichelberger:
"One drunken, slovenly bully
a n%eutralize the good impression
made by a dozen fine soldiers.
Not only have the japanese
been distressed with the per-
Torrance of the Objectionable mi
aority. American wives who have
arrived recently have been sharp
ly critical of troops who subject
them to whistles and hoWls wnen
they appear on the streets. The
sight of American troops openly
fraternizing with Japanese women
likewise has been censured by the
American women.
In this connection, it should be
noted that not only enlisted men
are seen in the company of Japa-
nese women. Officers of nigh rank
may be seen driving kimonoed
Japanese women in their cars.
Col. C. V. Cadet of Arcadia,
Calf, Eighth Army provost mar
shall said he believed Eichelber-
gers letter condemning n e mi
nority troop action was prompted
by the generals desire to get the
right picture" to the new soldiers
who largely make up the occu-
patton forces. The provost mar
shall said there had been no
marked increase in any particular
type of offenses, although Eichel-
berger said he had received an
increasing number OF reports of
crimes committed by Americans"
The provost marshall admitted
that there has been a little more
carelessness on the part of the
troops in the observing of the
rights of others"
The "carelessness" has consist
ed of o~verturnlng Japanese auto
mobiles, foul and profane blasts
at japanese who failed to scurry
swiftly enough from the paths of
vehicles and the shouldering of
small japanese from the side
walks.

on the Degnan ransom note re-
sembled the youths prints.
John Coghlan, Heirens' attorney,
visited him in his cell. He said
tears welled up in the prisoners
eyes, and he cried in a voice near
the breaking point:
How long is this going to go
on"
Warden Frank Sain reported that
the young prisoner apparently had
turned to religion. He said Heirens
spent most of last night in prayer.
Coghlan talked to Heirens for
10 minutes before speaking to re-
porters. He said that Heirens was
showing the first signs of breaking
under the strain and quoted his
client as saying, Enthusiastically:
How long is this going to go
on? I understand they are trying
to blame me on something that
happened IN 1913.
Il have never met anyone who
battles me as young Reirens does"
Coghlan said, "IIe is either awfully
smart, or awfully stupid. The man.
ner in which those crimes were
committed was not smart"
Il have the utmost confidence
in him. He has made full, COM
plete and honest disclosures to
me. I believe I am the only one
in whom he has confidence"
He said he planned to enter
pleas of innocent to all 20 in
dlctments which were returned
against Heirens Friday. They in
cluded "a charges of robbery, four
OF assault and one charging both
robbery and assault.

WELCOME FOOTING

Those reaches of new concrete sidewalk being put in place through the city very welcome improve ment-especially so with wet winter days practically here.
 In most cases the concrete stretches replace slippery boards others only muddy trails have been before Altogether, it is expected that more than 3Ooo linear feet-over half -mile-of new sidewalk will be in place before cold weather stops the pouring of concrete
 Installed this summer a large part of the contract for 1000 feet let by the City late last year and which could not be installed before the winter shutdown At least twelve hundred feet is to be laid this season on the basis of sidewalk permits already approved Under the system adopted by this years council the City is longer letting bulk con- tracts for laying sidewalk, paying for it, then billing the property owner for his share Now the procedure is snplified The owner lets his contract for as much walk as he laid The City Engineer checks to see that installation is in accordance with City specifications the owner pays the contractor, the City pays the owner it's third of cost share after the whole job is done.
 Those property owners who providing perma- nent sidewalks on their properties not only en- hancing the value of those properties; they are displaying commendable civic interest based on pride in the progress and appearance of their community and their immediate neghborhoods.
 It is to be hoped that the present trend to pelma- nent sidewalks will continue. Though commitments now approach ,the Citys budget provision for new sidewalk construction, some of the Councimen have indicated willingness to stretch the budget in that direction far safely be done Everyone familiar with civic affairs recognizes that concrete walks greatly decrease maintenance costs and in the end, bring savings to the City and property owners

LAPS 1241 WORRY WAS U. S. NAVY
 MIGHT NOT FIGHT

TOKYO, Sept. 28. - The War Crimes Tribunal trying Japan's ac-. cused war criminals has been told that Japan's biggest worry nine months before Pearl Harbor was that the United States fleet might not fight and the war therefore might drag on for costly years.
 The record of a secret conference between Jap Foreign Minister Yo- suke Matsouka and German Foreign Minister Joachim Von Robbentrop has been introduced as evidence in the trial. The record quoted the Nazi as urging a sneak attack in Singapore to shorten war in Eu- rope. That was in March, l94l.
 Ribbentrop is said to have told the Japs the United States would be poWerless to retaliate Ii the Japs took Singapore. But Matsouka is quoted as replying that the very fact that the United States might not send it's fleet west of Hawaii was causing considerable worry in Tokyo.

 Col James A. Kilian, who was fined $500 and reprimanded for allowing cruel and unusual punishment of soldier prisoners under his command, has called for Congressional investigation of all the Lichfeld trials We hope that his request will be granted It is important that Colonel Kilian receive fairly magned It is even more important, however, that fresh air be injected into what amounts to scandal Tn view of what to be rdcuously light sentence imposed Colonel Kilian, there must be questions in the minds of many people to exactly what went on at Lichfeld and why, who was responsible and incidentally what covering up if any done by higher Army officials. The public has outside the Army.
 The argument that harsh treatment of prisoners at Lichfieid justified in order to get them back into battle seems to complete misunderstanding of the issue Certainly there at Lichfied some nlovey characters who deliberately sought to escape combat There also were some who did nothing more than overstay pass for seevra hours The point is that punishment is prescribed by law and is vested in courts Nowhere in the American system of justice is there provision that makes jalers the judges or permits brutates of the sort which the trials vealed were frequently inflicted
 The simplest and best way to clear up doubts misunderstanding for Congress grant Colonel Kian's request, despite the delay entaed As it is now the affair is not settled It will remain canker that do the Army serious harm until it is removed by thorough unbiased probe

Predicts Economic
 Purge of Bigwigs
 By Gen. MeArihur

TOKYO, Sept 28. - Speculation that a major policy pronouncement by General Macarthur is in inn mediate prospect gained credence today in both occupation and Jap anese circles. A flood of rumors and at least one newspaper article dwelt on the possibility of a purge Of economic leaders.
 Throughout more than a year of occupation, there has been much speculation among Japanese that Macarthur eventually would deal with financiers and ndustrialists, whom many felt were coworkers of the militarists, if not mapipulators, in Japan's aggression.
 Interest in the subject goes be- yond mere punishment for past acts, however; the entire future of Japan unquestionably will be geared to the gate of those who at present as in the past, control the economic situation.
