TEA PARTY - While our tabu-
lators are compiling the data you
folks have sent in about the Old
ACL and Old Spofford Mills
Whistles, we're going to relax for
the first time in a long time.
We're going to drift way on
back into the peaceful memories
Of early Americana and pillow our
head in the comfy remembrance
of the innocuous little social
functions of our ancestors.
The particular little function
we're thinking of re-living and re-
taxing about is the ancient Ameri-
can custom OF the tea party.
And the one we're especially
dreaming so cozily about is the
one that took place in Boston on
December 1e. 177S.

Along The Cape Fear

IN BOSTON - What a pleasant
jolly tea party that was. Ladies
and gentlemen, coyly disguised as
Indians, boarded an English YES
sci in Boston harbor and merrily
threw innumcrable bags OF tea
into the water.
What a splashing good time they
had. And, as one old dowager, her
War-paint streaked with tears Of
jollity, said, 'How ever in the
world are we going to heat up up
Boston harbor enough to boil all
this tea?'
Like Olsen and johnson, she
almost stopped the show.

MACARTHUR 0KAYS
JAP CONSTITUTION.
New Nip Charter Would
Reduce Hirohito To Ger
emonial Figurehead

TOKYO, March g. U.H Gen.
Douglas Macarthur Wednesday
approved for submission to the
japanese people a new Democratic
constitution which would outlaw
war. reduce the Emperor to the
status of ceremonial figure
head. and abolish Japan's feudal
governmental system. Japan would
maintain no military forces.
The proposed constitution, draft
ed by Premier Kijuro Shidenara's
Japanese cabinet and indirectly
sponsored by Emperor Hirohito,
was given Macarthur t'full ap-
.provar' as a new and enlight-
ened" instrument placing sovsr-
eighty "squarely in the hands of
the people"
Abolish War Right
The draft constitutionwould for
ever abolish Japan's right to 90
to war, renounce the use of force
in international disputes, and for
bid maintenance Of any armed
forces.
1t would. strip Hirohito of the
vast powers under which he ruled
wartime Japan, leaving him only
"a symbol of the peoples unity
and "severing for all time the
shackles Of feuda1ism,'' the su-
preme allied commander said in
his announcement.
The powerful hereditary House OF
Peers would be replaced ty a
new house of councillors, cores
ponding roughly to the United
States Senate, which, together with
the lower chamber of the Diet,
would be empowered to make laws
without requiring the Emperor S
approval. 1870
Executive Power
Executive power would be vested
in the cabinet. which would be
responsible to the Diet. The prime
minister would be designated by
the Diet instead Of being named
by the Emperor as under the ole
constitution. 49,.
In restricting the powers Of the
Emperor-formerly treated as
sacred and inviolable" and en-
dowed with absolute sovereignty
the new constitution states:
/. 1.-THE Emperor shall be q
symbol of the state and of the
unity of the people, deriving hi.
position from the severn will Of
the people,"
2. 1.-THE imperial throne shall be
dynastic and succeeded to in &C.
cordance with the imperial house
law passed by the Diet
3. "Advice and approval of the
cabinet shall be required for all
acts of the Emperor In matters Of
state, and the cabinet shall be
responsible for them"
4. 1.-THE Emperor shall perform
only such state functions as pro
vided for in this constitution. Never
shall he have powers related to
| government.

No Vote Here
According to Miss Boone, the To-

DRAFTEES PLACED
| AMONG DOUBTFUL
So White Men To Be
Examined Here Before
Leaving For Bragg

AS the New Hanover Selective
Service Draft Board delved into
the At files yesterday reviewing
registrants in this group WHO might
be eligible for pre-induction under
lower physical examinations, a
total of SO whites and Sc negroes
were placed in separate group
as doubtful and to be examined
by local physicians before being
sent to Fort Bragg for preiaduc-
ton.
Boards No. 1 and No. 2, which
consolidated last year, met yes
terday as one board, for the pur-
pose of carrying out a complete
review of all At registrants pre-
scented by the clerks to determine
whether any of the men concerned
should, under existing policies, be
granted a deferred class other than
4-F.
The State Director Of Selective
Service in Raleigh informed the
board this week to complete the
review as soon as possible, and adj
vised the local board that an ex-
amining physician should be re-
quested to review the remaining
files to determine which men might
be returned for pre-induction for
the April call.
DR.. Sam Warshauer, head Of New
Hanover County Medical associa-
ton was contacted by the board
members and it was agreed that
the local physicians would handle
the doubtful cases. DR.. L. w. Up
