 Delegates 10 Meet
 Tonight to Bond

Waterbury property owners fail- ing to fill out, in full, the appeal forms provided by the assessors of- flee may be subpoenaed, if neces- sary, and made to provide informa- ton, Aldro Jcnks, chief assessor, said today.
 The Chief Assessor cited Section 363c of the 1045 Supplement of the General Statutes wherein is pro- vided full powers of subpoena equivalent to Grand Jury powers. The section, in part, provides that an individual property owner may be summoned to provide books, verbal information or any other matters relating to his property. Witnesses with knowledge of the property also may be summoned acc cording to the section.
 MT. Jenks had been asked by The Democrat today what would be the procedure should person refuse to provide certain information re- quested on the form. Many local attorneys have stated that indivi- duals need not submit information they felt to be personal.
 No Desire to Ush Them
 q have no desire to make re- course to such powers" the Chief Assessor said. But they are there and have been on the books long before I came to these parts. It is understood, of course, they should pG used only with the greatest dis- elimination"
 Asked who actually sets the final overall valuations on city property, he replied that only the Board of Tax Review had such authority.
 "The Board after holding hear ings must present to me their final determination of fatr, equitable city wide assessments as comprised of in dividuai valuations. I mlist then aes cept this report as final by MIas'Ch l." he said.
 Estimate May Be Final
 Asked if the Horan company es- inmates which are not appealed by the individual property owners will become final in such instances Mir. Jenks said they would.
 we uAVc 1AO OtklGI way VI QSOS1~ = mining whether an estimate of MT. Horan's company is just or not ex- cept by the procedure now in pro- cess"
 MT. JenkS was referring to the means of sending out the new yalu- ation ,notiies and providing appeal forms for those who feel they are unjustly increased. These appeals gre then reconSidered by the As- sessor's Office and if no adjustment is made to the property owners satis- faction then the appeals are for- warded to the Board of Tax Review. The latter will meet twice daily from Feb. 1 to Feb. 20.
 "This much should be realized, !" the chief assessor emphasized. Those who appeal but refuse to fill out their forms completely will have to be quizzed for exactly the same information by members of the Board of Tax Review.
 Others Penalized
 Such procedure is going to take a long time. Much longer time than there is. It means, therefore, that those who have compiled with the law by filling out the forms in

Gen. MaeArthur Puts End 10 Centuries Old Gus
 tom in Japan

TOKYO, Jan. 24.-General Mac Arthur today ended centuries olo custom under which Japanese fam flies sold their daughters into the slavery of prostitution.
 Macarthur ordered the Japanese government to obey that section of the Potsdam declaration which guarantees respect for the funda mental human rights Under il Japan must annul all laws author izing licensed prostitution and nulli- fly all contracts committing any woman to prostitution.
 The Japanese government recent ly halted the licensing of houses but not the law permitting the sale of girls. In l940 the government had made radical change which per mitted the sale of girls ony by blood relatives, eliminating sale by hus- bands and sweethearts.
 Two weeks ago the Tokyo brothel keepers association decided to re- lease the girls from slavery status contracts and permit them "tht democratic right" of going into busi- ness Independently
 Col Crawford Sans. chief of Al lied headquarters public health and welfare service, said the Japanese girls were sold to proprietors oi openly maintained houses for loans of soc to 1000 yet ($33 to $67) tc the parents frequently against the girls wishes.

SHORT TAXES RAP
 AT WAR DEPT. ON 'RADAR PROTECTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Maj. Gen. Walter c. Short charged today that the War Department delayed setting up radar in Hawaii in l94l while it completed installations in New York City, Seattle and San Francisco.
 Shorts charge was bolstered when he read to the Pearl Harbor investi- gating committee a telebram he said he had received yesterday from Waterloo, Iowa, signed by Major George D. Leask of the Army Signal Corps
 Leask said that when he was trans ferred to San Francisco on Dec. 10 1941, he found three radar towers lying on an open pier" there. It was not until several weeks later that he received instructions from Washington to ship them to Honolu- lu immediately, the telegram said
 Short told the committee the army had hired experts from the Radio | Corporation of America. to help in- stall radar equipment on the main- land.
 When it came to Hawaii he said, it was just a question of the officers digging out what informa- ton they could and putting it to- gether. It looked like the War De partment was more interested in de- veloping radar on the mainland 1 than in Hawaii"

Salmon Fishermen Ask
 For Longer Season in
 Southeast Alaska Area

SEATTLE, Jan. 24.-The Inter- national Fishermen and Allied Work CTS of America tCIO) asked a long er season for salmon fishing in Southeast Alaska. urging that the season be opened 10 days earlier than usual and closed five days lat CT.
 Union representatives met with off, ficials of the U. S. Fish and Wild life Service during the Unions an- nual convention. M. c. James of Chicago. assistant director of the Service. told the delegates the un- ions desires would be given consid- eration.
 A "stagger" plan for alternating open and closed periods during the late season was opposed by the fish ermen on grounds it would give un- fair advantage to traps.
 The delegates told James they also favored mqdification of boat regulations in the Bristol Bay area, and asked that bank and set net fishing there be restricted to Indians or incapaciated white persons unable to fish from boats.
 James told the fishermen the government was interested in wheth- CT the union preferred a shorter sea- son and more boats or longer sea- son and fewer boats, as well as it's position on & proposal for fewer boats and larger nets. It also de- sired opinion on @ five mesh limit form seine nets in the Bristol Bay area.
 He said the Service planned bet ter enforcement of regulations and has asked Congress for funds for five additional planes. three more boats and an increase in enforce mant personnel.
 James said no regulations on trawling or crab fishing were con- Itemplated for this year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Senator Ar thur H. Vandenberg tR-Mich), an American delegate to the United Nations assembly, says world free press resolution should be pressed to a conclusion" at the assembly's second session two or three months hence.

 UNOs Remember general steering committee decided consideration shoud be deferred when Pedro Lo- peg Philippines delegate, originally presented the subject in London Lopez took his fight to the floor on January IA, but withdrew the re- quest for immediate action after Vandenberg, expressing the greatest sympathy with the free press pro- posal, announced the American dele gation supported the committee rul- ing

TRUMAN IN STATEMENT
 ON STRIKES
Says Current Industrial Strife Contest Between
 Management, Labor

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Presi- dent Truman said today much cur rent industrial strife was a contest for power between management and labor = both of which, he said, have too much power
 The public interest, he added, de- mands settlement of the steel strike on the basis of his Is 1-2 cents wage increase proposal.
 MT. Truman said, however, that he did not intend to seize the steel industry at this time, although he did not rule out that future possi- bility
 It was necessary for the govern ment, MT. Truman said, to assert the power of the people in preventing strikes against the public interest
 The President disclosed that con- sideration is being given Federal op- eration of a government-built steel plant in Utah. The government built a plant at Geneva, Utah.
 Asked about a proposal by Ben jamin F. Hairless, President of U. S. Steel, that he call an all-manage- ment conference on wages, the Pres ident said he was always ready to talk to business leaders.
 However, he added, the best thing Hairless can do is to send word that he accepts the White House proposal for settling the steel strike.
 MT. Truman said he thought it not practical to seize the steel in- dustry at the present time. He would not say the industry would not be seized eventually if the strike is prolonged, however.
 He also said that the striking meat workers will go back to work at their old wages when the government seizes the meat plants Saturday.
 If steel is eventually seized, the President added, the steel workers too, will have to go back to work at current wages.

PARTY TO SEARCH
 DOUGLAS SECTION
 FOR MISSING MAN

The hunt here for missing pioneer William Alexander Oliver was ex- banded this afternoon with osgani- zation of an official search party to comb Douglas Island areas.
 The search party was authorized by U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray and approved by Acting Governor Lew M Williams, after Highway Commissioner w. Leonard Smith and Highway Patrolmen Emmett Botelho and Hubert Gilligan had made preliminary search of the Treadwell Mine area this morning Patrolman Botelho was named to head the searching party.
 Douglas Island was selected as the best bet for the search because of at least two reports of a man, answering the description of the missing pioneer, being seen there. One of the reports said the supposed sought man had been heading up the Ski Trail A report regarded as more likely was turned in last night by E. Hackmeister, of Douglas, who said he had talked with an elderly person answering the description and who had appeared bewildered and unsure of just where he was. The man, in the City of Douglas when encountered by MT. Hack meister, had headed off toward Treadwell. The meeting occurred before Divers disappearance had been announced
 The Highway Patrol group this morning penetrated to about two miles south of Douglas. The watch man at the old Treadwell mine in- formed them, that as far as he knows, no one hand passed there.
 The 70-year-old Oliver, we'll known in Nome, was formerly a gold dredgeman. He was one of the founders, in 1925, of the Northern Airways, which was later taken over by Hans Mirow.
 Oliver disappeared here last Sat- urday, shortly after arriving by plane from Fairbanks, enroute to the Pioneers Home at Sitka.

(0ASTWISE SHIP TIEUp
 IS THREAT

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 24.-The official news organ of the Inter- national Longshoresmen's & Ware housemens Union (CIO) carried a headline in today's edition proclaim ing: "Coastwise shipping tieup im- minent.'
 Negotiations on the 1946 contract with employers have been suspended meanwhile.
 The story, in the ILWU Dispatch CT, was based on delays longshore- men claim they have experienced in obtaining retroactive pay ordered by the War Labor Board. It referred to telegram which Harry Bridges, ILWU president. sent to President Truman last Monday, charging em- ployers with refusing to make the payments and advising the President that a Pacific Coast tieup is "in- evitable' unless checked by Presi- dential intervention.
 Bridges, in another communica- ton to Frank P. F'oisie. manager of the Waterfront Employers Associa- ton of the Pacific, further charged the employers with breaking off negotiations on Athe union contract after six months of stalling" and asserted the action left the union mo recourse other than to protect members in any way it sees fit"
 Foisie replied that the union posi- ton was "overstated" in both in stances-that negotiations were not broken off but merely suspended, and that the delay in retroactive pay was due to the long time required for working out details

The W ashington
 Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The Pearl Har- bor Investigating Committee has now spent nearly three months dig .;ing into military -naval-political reasons why we were caught asleep on Dec T, 1941. While this is im- portant, all the facts show that Ja- pan would have attacked anyway; at some other time.
 Meanwhile, we have seized var ious documents from the Japs, showing that this war was carefully built up over a period of years and that certain American munitions makers were either unsuspecting or deliberate Jap co-partners.
 If we are to prevent war in the fdture-and that presumably is one motive of the Pearl Harbor Com mittee-the manner in which h American business aided the Japs to prepare for Pearl Harbor is inn portant. We must build up ma chinery so this doesn't happen again.
 When the Japs diye-bombed on unsuspecting battleships on the morning of Dec. T, word went round that they had evolved new and powerful fighter plane-the Zero All during the early months of the war, the Jap Zero was match, sometimes more than match, for U. s. fighters.
