Commanders Report On
Occupation Covers Many
Important Questions
By JOHN L. STEELE

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. U.H =
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, in the
first overall report on his stew.
ardship of Japan, revealed tonight
that the conquered empire prob.
ably faces starvation within three
months unless emergency food
supplies are imported.
At least 3,311, 900 metric tons OF
food may have to be brought in,
he said in voluminous report to
the War Department touching
every phase of occupation. Black
market activities are rampant, the
fishing industry is chaotic, and
farmers have been beset by ty-
phoons, floods and war damage.
Macarthur named the artificial
division of Korea into U. S. and
Russian occupation zones as one
of his most vexing problems. He
said the division, which the Big
Three Foreign Ministers are now
attempting to work out, has had
serious consequences in policy and
operation. But his views were
based on the first two months of
occupation and were expressed be-
fore the present joint Russo-Amer-
lean Korean Commission was ap-
pointed.

occupation aim the liquidation oil

But his report goes far beyond
politics. It describes the freeing
of the japanese mind from

by the secret police, emancipation
of housewives heretofore bound tc

His statement is bound to ag.

1ikelv to interfere with plans to

The verbal clash came as gov

$4,000 were reported thrusting

A government dispatch claimed

BY The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Approximately 100000 packing
house workers were called upon
yesterday to strike Jan. 16 and
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
at once reported that low reserves
of meat make it essential that the
contemplated walkout be averted.
The packinghouse strike was call
ed by the CLIO United Packing
House Workers in support of the
unions demand for a rs cents an
hour wage increase.
Anderson, who did not comment
on the strike issue, told reporters
at Washington.
1.-THE government has large COM
mitments for European relief and
needs of its own armed services
which must be met. Likewise, it is
essential that the packing plants
be kept operating to supply civilian
requirements"

would boost sharply the nations
total of strike idle, kept at around

Motors strike. Approximately 49,

43-day-old GIN walkout.
The Packinghduse Unions presi-
dent, Lewis J. Clark, told news
conference in Chicago that the ma
tons meat packers could meet the
unions demand without increasing
meat prices.
The strike, he said, would affect
147 packing plants, including sew
eral operated by the four major
packers-Swift, Cudahy, Armour
and Wilson.
1.-THE only thing that will prevent
this strike is a substantial wage
increase" Clark said.

willing to accept a II 1-2cent boost
Immediately, with the provision
that the balance of the 25-cent de-

G. Edward Palmer, former Water bury salesman, who spotted" Daniel J. Leary for the police, will have competitor for the $3,000 reward offered by the State of Connecticut for the apprehension of the convicted ex-comptroller.
 atrolman Joseph Flood, who made the arrest on tip" from Palmer, today started proceedings in Chic ago for claiming at least a part of the reward.
 Applications for the reward will be viewed by Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey, who will certify who gave the information on Leary and who was responsible for the apprehension.
 Internal Revenue officials today discounted reports that the reward money would be subject to gift tax. They said the recipient or re- cipients would have to add the amount of the reward to their regular income total and pay a tax accordingly.
