SECRETARY OF ST A T E
~ BYRNES has insulted the in
telligence of the American people
with his double talk about the wis
dom and necessity of a four power
administration OF occupied Japan, to
which he committed the American
government at the recent Moscow
conference.
Mr.. Byrnes pleads that nothing
under this agreement impairs the
powers of Gen. Douglas Macarthur
as supreme Allied commander III
Japan, at the same time acknowledge
ing that the decisions of Gen. Mac
Arthur will be subject to review by
all OF the participating powers and
SUBJECT TO VETO BY ANY
ONE OF THEM.
He insists that because American
concurrence is required for any pro-
posal of the other powers to be effec-
tive no harm to American interests
can result.
But it is perfectly obvious that
any American proposals or policies
could likewise be blocked.
uoW long will it take for the
HI occupation of Japan to deterio
rate into bedlam of confusion and
cross purposes under this system?
How much real power will Gen.
Macarthur be able to WELD under
the system?
The simple truth is that the
American administration of Gen.
Macarthur, admitted by Mr.. Byrnes
to be "an outstanding and efficient
administration which "should not
be obstructed," has been UNDER
MINED.
Gen. Macarthur sought by every
means available to him to PRE-
VENT agreement by the United
States to system of four power
control over Japan.
AS long ago as Oct. 81, he reports,
"my final disagreement Was con-
tained in my radio to the chief of
staff for the secretary of state that
the terms in my opinion are not oc-
ceptable'."
Since that time, he further re-

THE double jointed fiasco OF
l. Jimmy Byrnes-the Moscow
Communique, and the Washing
ton Interpretation of the same
has revived full strength the
rumorS connected with his prob
able retirement as secretary of
state.
The date tentatively fixed by
the grapevine for this change
in the cabinet is early in the
new year, but after the ad-
journment of the United Ma
tions Assembly in London. and
the formal establishment of the
council.
With UNO launched at long
last, according to reports. Mr..
Byrnes will go back to the
Supreme Court.
According TO the same re-
ports there, A vacancy will be
created by the retirement Of
Justice Robert II. Jackson 10
enable him TO become Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of
New York-with administration
blessing.
The idea is that Jackson
could defeat Gov. Dewey and
that his advancement to Albany
would make him athe logical
vice presidential nominee on the
l948 ticket with President Tru-
man.
CEVERAL things lend SUBJ
~ stance 10 these fHmers. II
is said that MIR Jackson has
found life on the highest bench
too confining for a man of his
ambition and physical activity.
There have been some small
straws indicating that Mr..
Byrnes may he on the way out.
1t is. of course, well known
that Jimmy loved his Supreme
Court berth and had hoped 10
retain il for life. He was re-
luctant to leave, for he is with
out private means. and greatly
valued the sense of security
which the Supreme Court gave
a man who had devoted almost
his entire life 10 the public
service, with few opportunities
TO provide financially for the
future. NI

turing speakers on current political
and social issues, the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club yesterday

anecdotes of famous musicians.
The guest speaker, Nine. Alma

founders of the Metropolitan Opera
Guild, gave glimpses of many artists
she has known during her career.
Nine. Claybough expressed the
opinion that the real glamour girls"
were such women as Geraldine Far
rar and Mary Garden who, she
described as intelligent and &C.
complished" as well as glamorous.
Although most of her talk was
devoted to opera stars. she paid high
tribute to George Gershwin as the
producer of music as truly Ameri-
can as the novels of Jack London"
In this connection she told OF a
time when Mr.. Gershwin wanted
to study with Igor Stravinsky. She
said Mr.. Stravinsky inquired how
much money Mr.. Gershwin made.
When the latter replied about 5000
year." she said, Mr.. Stravinsky's
response was: "Oh, Mr.. Gershwin,
I think I'll study with you"
Nine. Claybough, who also knew
Enrico Caruso,. recalled they were
both made members of the New York
Police Glee Club at one time.
The speaker was introduced by
