Hopes 10 DisIo dee Key
 s Labor, Other Proposals, from Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 = Presi- dent Truman adopted the "fireside chat" technique of his White House predecessor today in the hope of dislodging key labor and other legislative proposals from Capitol Hill snags.
 MT. Truman takes to the radio at 10 D. m, (EST) tonight with an appeal to the people at a time when his administration is plagued with strikes and threatened walk outs.
 One of his most recent proposals was a recommendation to place the force of law behind fact-finding boards to permit them to weigh disputes affecting important na- tion wide industries Both strikes and lockouts would be barred while the fact-finding procedures were in operation.
 MT. Truman's championship of this and other legislation tonight may well figure prominently in next summers Congressional cam paigns. One of his associates ex- presses the view that the 30- minute speech will lay the frame work for democratic election cam paigns, especially in industrial states

JOYCEpAYS ASTRAIT0R
 WITH LIFE
Lord flaw flaw, Whom 6oebbeIs Paid S60
 Weekly, Hangs

LONDON, Jan 3-William Joyce notorious Lord Flaw Flaw" of the German air waves. died traitors death this morning on the gallows of Wandsworth Prison.
 The 40-year-old American-born Joyce, who sold his voice to Adolf Hitler as a radio propagandist at the outset of the war, was exc cuted shortly after g a. m. on high treason charges of which he was convicted by a British court last Sept. 19.
 He died on the same scaffold where John Amery, 33-year-old son of a former British cabinet mem Der, was hanged on Dec. 19 on treason charges growing out of similar radio activities.
 Only a small group of prison of ficials saw Joyce plunge through the trap. Under English law no spectators may witness an execu- tion.
 Execution of the death sentence was announced in two typewriter sheets which were posted outside the prison gates shortly after the hanging
 Prison officials said Joyce walked to the galloWs from his death cell, his arms pinioned behind him with the broad black strap used in countless executions. The trap was sprung by I. Pierrepont, nephew of Albert Pierrepont, famed hang man who executed Amery.
 Joyce's death under leaden skies in the stone walled prison court yard ended a fantastic career which led him from Fascist street fights in England to an infamous place as Hitler's number one English language broadcaster
 Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels paid Joyce $60 a week for his radio work, which con- sisted of four daily broadcasts.

He said a work stoppage by the unions claimed membership of 26O,O0o paying mem- bers would affect some 450,000 Bell System employees.
 Sympathy Walkout
 The Western Electric strike and threat of sympathy walkout was the latest of several fast-breaking developments on the labor front dur ing the last few days which threat ened to boost the number of idle to more than million and half in the next few weeks.
 The Western Electric strike got under way about the time the White House announced that President Truman would discuss the whole la bor situation" in report to the na- tion tonight. The Presidents recommendation for dealing with labor disputes have been begged down in Congress.
 The Western Electric strike af- fected 21 plants in New York City and Northern New Jersey.
 The Western Electric employees association is seeking a 30 per cent wage rate boost. The company said it would grant Is per cent.
 A government conciliator, mean while, announced there was "a very good chance" a proposed strike Of 50 900 Western Union Telegraph op- orators outside New York City, scheduled for next Monday, would be called off.
 At Stamford, Conn, the Stamford Combined Labor Organizations, held noisy work stoppage demonstra- ton in support of the nine-week strike of the AFL International Asso- citation of Machinists at the Yale and Towne Manufacturing O., plant.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = White House advisers are keeping their lips buttoned and their fingers crossed about a set of highly optimistic forecasts for 1946 They are so good that the experts don't want to talk about them.
 If the forecasts turn out to be correct, the Truman administra- tion will have an. easier year than any president has had since Cool idge'ss time. If no one rocks the boat, we'll have high wages, high profits, full employment, plenty of production, and few strikes in '46
 Here's what the economists pri- vately report:
 BUSINESS-The year 1946 will be one of the most prosperous in the nations history.
 There will be a sharp uptrend in industrial production when the reconversion program begins to hit it's stride by late spring, with busi- ness profits and consumer demands for post war goods showing sub stantial increases.
 The national income will rocket to one of the highest points in history, rivaling the lush years of the late 20s.
 EMPLOYMENT = Both govern ment and business experts confi- dently predict a sharp uptrend in employment, despite the fact that the stoppage of war contracts and

MatARTHUR'S
 JAP POLICY
 PAYING OFF
General Reports Just Whal Is Happening Under
 Democratic Direltives

WASHINGTON, Jan. = Gen Macarthur contends that his policy of using the Japanese Government to execute his orders is paying off
 The Supreme Commander makes the point in his first report on Japanese occupation, covering the initial two months after the land ing last Aug. 30 The report was released here by the War Depart ment.
 Macarthur said bluntly it is his policy ito use, not support, the existing government in Japan, and to permit and favor changes in the form of government initiated by the Japanese people or government in the direction of modifying its feudal and authoritarian tenden- cies."
 (On New Years Day Emperor Hirohito issued a rescript renounc- ing the myth of his personal di- vinity.
 C"The ties between us and our people have always stood upon mutual trust and affection" the rescript said. They do not depend upon mere legends and myths. They are not predicated on the false conception that the emperor is divine and that the Japanese people are superior to other races and fated to rule the world.")
 Military control has been imposed upon the government structure, but there has been minimum inter ference with the existing admins tration, the general wrote. He added
 Not only has this policy at tained the desired ends, but it has avoided the use of hundreds of thousands of personnel which would have been required had the basic structure of the Japanese government been reconstructed and replaced"
 MacArthur's report held out no high hope for an immediate trend to democracy in Japan because the people have had no experi- ence with it in any way and the government has suggested little toward democratic reform.
 But if democracy can't be im- posed directly, the American GI.'s of the occupation force are demon strating it, the general said.

KILLORDERS
 WERE GIVEN
 BY GESTAp0
Ninety Thousand Persons Liquid aied During
 First Year of War
By JAMES F. KING

NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan. B. A former aide of Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler told the Inter- national Military tribunal today that special SS commandos were attach ed to the German army on the East ern front with orders to kill every Jew and Soviet political commissar in occupied Russian regions.
 Major General of Police Otto Oh lendorf, testifying in the trial of 22 Nazi leaders, declared that the High Command of the German army had full knowledge of the commando order.
 LiquidGted 90,000
 The 38-year -old witness, who had been in the SS since his teens, said his own group, operating with the German 1lth Army in the Ukraine, alone had liquidated 90,000 persons in the first year of the war with Russia.
 Outlining the inner workings of
 
 the Security Police system under questioning by Col. John Hurlan Amen, an assistant U. S. prosecutor, Ohlendorf testified that Himmler personally gave liquidation orders to leaders of the special Einsatzgrupps.
 He told us that men had no re- sponsibility for the acts and that the responsibility was his alone, as well as that of the Fuehrer," the witt ness said.
 Mass Executions
 Ohlendorf, who admitted giving orders himself for mass executions, testified that he conferred frequent ly with army commanders on the execution of Himmler's orders.
 He said the victims included men, women and children, and explained how they were wiped out en masse after being lined up on the pretext that they would be relocated.
 Standing erect, Ohlendorf spoke through the microphone without he's itation, frequently turning his eyes toward the defendants sitting in the prisoners box on the opposite side of the room.
 Reichmarshal Hermann Goering sucked in his lips and shook his head slightly Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl and Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel gave the witness steely looks, but showed no emotion.
