Tokyo Governor Quits
In Compliance With
MacArthur's S Purge

BY the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Jan. 14.-Hisatada HI
rose, governor of Metropolitan
Tokyo, resigned today in a COM
pliance with Gen. Macarthur
purge directive ordering all ultra
nationalists out of public Office.
Hirose, whose resignation was re-
ported by Kyodo News Agency, was
a director of the Imperial Rule AS
sistance Association during the war
Meanwhile a spokesman for the
revamped Shidehara cabinet an
nounced a flve-point program which
would be the cabinets goal in help
ing to build new Japan.
Program Outlined.
Wataru Narahashi, newly ap-
pointed chief cabinet secretary, out
lined the following points in an in
terview with Kyodo:
Revision of the constitution
drastic reform of the House of Peers
sterilization of economic conditions
characterization of civil service and
the carrying out of Japan's first
postwar election.
Narahashi pledged that there
would be mo discrimination what
ever among various political parties
in the coming election"
Meanwhile, Premier Kijuro Shi-
dehara had a busy day receiving
visitors and consulting with gov
ernment officials at his sick bed
Justice Minister Iwata and the
three new cabinet ministers were
among the callers at the aged pre-
mier's home.
The swearing in of the three new
ministers-to please Gen. MacAr-
thur-Was accomplished last night
after having kept Emperor Hirohito
up until midnight.
Press Unappeased.
The Tokyo press, far from being
appeased, however, today leveled a
new blast of criticism at the
premier.
The investiture, delayed without
explanation for II hours, came
shortly after Gen. MacArthur's an
nouncement that he had authorized
holding of a national election any
time after March IS.
Sempachi Soejima replaces Keno
Matsumura as Minister of Agricul-
ture and Forestry in the cabinet,
All metropolitan newspapers re-
mained bitterly critical, and some
said others of the old cabinet may
also be replaced, including Sankuro
Ogasawara, Minister of Commerce
and Industry.
The national election had been
tentatively scheduled for later this
month, but Kyodo News Agency had
forecast two-month postponement
in order to allow the wedding out
beforehand of ultranationalist poll
ticians who were the targets of Gen.
MacArthur's recent purge" DEGREES.

BELCHING is simply q bad
habit. Moreover, it is an unneces-
sary one. Most Of those who in
dulge in it believe themselves to
be victims of "gas on the stomach"
What actually happens, however,
is not that gas is generated in the
stomach but merely that certain
individuals swallow a great deal
of air. Then they belch to get rid
of it.
Thus, we see that bclchers
really have two bad habits instead
of one, swallowing air, and belch-
ing it up again.
DR.. Walter Cane of New York
believes that if persons are taught
to breathe properly this twin habit
of air swallowing and belching can
be overcome. He directs his pa
tients to breathe by taking short
and not very deep breaths. Then
they are taught to breathe out over
q more prolonged period. If de-
sired, the patient may, after
breathing out, not take a breath
for several seconds.
Movements Of Whispering

to go through the movements of
whispering without making n
sound. First comes practice in
whispering. Then the same move

Industrial Munich?
To yield at the point Of Lewis
gun would be to create an industrial
Munich that all of us would live
to regret. When Mr.. Chamberlain,
firmly grasping his umbrella,
stepped off of the airplane that
carried him home to London, he
said to the British people that he
had brought peace for our time"
But he hadn't. He couldn't. Nor
would industrial peace be assured
by yielding the price that Mr.. Lewis
demands for his appeasement.
This is no time for appeasement
but for justice based upon the facts
Mr.. Lewis might take steps that
would mean runaway imitation,
throw thousands of men out of
work indirectly with consequent suf-
fering for their families, and make
1t impossible for us to fulfill our
moral obligations to send food to
Europe and Asia. The i'll conse-
quences that have already been suf-
fered would extend far beyond the
date OF the settlement of the strike.

Lewis slightest whim he is not
likely to meet with any opposition,
even in private, from these "ad-
visers." The United Mine Workers
ought to be democratized. They
ought to have a free and secret
ballot under some sort of legal
sanction.
The operators have been hard, op-
pressive and scornful of human
rights in their treatment of the
miners. Probably no one with a
hand less heavy than that Of John
l.. Lewis could ever have exacted
from them even a minimum of de-
cent consideration for the men who
certainly work under the toughest
conditions in the country.

imposed upon the wives and chill

their families are entitled to decent

all of these things.
UNIV Not Democratic.
If the United Mine Workers were
a democratic institution then, with
some grace, it might ask that the
operators provide a welfare fund to
be managed by officials democrat
ically selected by the miners. But
it should be remembered that the
United Mine Workers is not demo-
cratic. To be sure the miners have
right to vote, just as the Germans,
under Hitler, had the right to vote.
In other words, they have the right
to vote just as John L. Lewis per-
mits them to vote.
The dues that are collected and
turned over to Mr.. Lewis are ad-
ministered by him as if they were
his private funds. Only he can hire,
