rationing extension following in that
order. Piece by piece, the Hannegan
board of strategy will seek to get the
Presidents bills out of committees
and onto the floor. BY thus freeing
key logs from the jam, Mr.. Hanne-
gan, who happens also to be chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, hopes to rescue the adj
ministration from a predicament
that is anything but conducive to
party harmony. And it must be
granted that the present legislative
paralysis is not conducive to the
public welfare, either.

japanese Police Reform

General Macarthur has shown
good judgment in calling on num-
Der of outstanding American police
authorities to assist him in setting
up new order of law enforcement
in conquered Japan. This new Ito

police work substitutes democratic
justice and up to-date crime detec-
ton and prevention methods for the

Dragon Society dominated thought
police" One of the first of the Mac
Arthur reforms was the adjustment
of this society and it's evil ramifica-
tions. During it's long reign, how
ever, intelligent police practices
went into the discard, posing a big
reorganization problem for the Al
lied occupation forces.
To aid in instituting the required
far-reaching reforms in some of
Japan's and Koreas large cities,
General Macarthur has invited more
than half a dozen prominent police
experts in the United States to come
to the Far East and undertake the
preliminary reorganization. One of
the better known of these men is
former Police Commissioner Lewis
j. Valentine of New York City, who
already has announced his Wiling
ness to accept the assignment. War
Department officials are getting in
touch with six other law enforce
ment leaders whose names were
suggested by General Macarthur.
and additional men may be asked
to join in the enterprise. General
Macarthur has indicated that each
OF these men must expect to remain
out OF the country for at least two
months, but 1t would not be surpris-
ing If they found it necessary to
stay much longer than that. Ameri-
canizing-which is another way of
saying observation-disclosures disor-
ganized police departments in as
short period as two months would
be truly extraordinary feat.

Suggests Nylon Sales Plan

To the Editor OF The Star:
A recent announcement carried in
your paper by one of the leading de-
partment stores to the effect that they
must discontinue the offering of nylon
hosiery until plan of more equitable
distribution can be developed" was read
with real satisfaction, for it has long
been source of great annoyance to me,
as know it must have been to others,
to see crowds of women (who appar-
emily have nothing better to do) wait
ing for hours at hosiery counters.
I was told by an employea in this
store of the mad rush there when the
doors open.
Just where do we working women
(who have neither the time nor the
inclination) fit into this picture? We
try to make smart appearance from
head to foot, but alas when it comes
to our legs, we also are tired of spotted,
il-fitting thick rayons!
Here is a simple solution to the prob
lem: A leading department store in
Miami, Fla, requested women to regis
ter at the store in person. AS the nylons
were received the women were notified
by postcard as their names appeared
on the list. Is this not a much more
businesslike, dignified, orderly and fair
method of distribution than the present
one of precious time spent standing in
line sometimes out of DOORS and the
final mad rush to the hosiery depart
ment, or being entirely deprived?

Anticipates World War III

Anticipates World War Ill
To the Editor of The STAR
The recent Moscow meeting was only
another Munich. Messrs. Byrnes and
Bevin accepted all the Russian demands,
received nothing in return, and en-
couraged the Communists to continue
their arrogant aggressive program all
over the world on scale far beyond
the dreams of Hitler.
But few Americans seem to realize
that democracy is threatened by the
most poerful dictatorship ever known.
Marshal Stain has become the absolute
ruler of 3oo.Ooo,oo people since the an
nexation Cor its equivalent) of Poland
(including part of Germany, the three
small Baltic states and all of the Balkan
countries, except Greece. Thus he con-
trolls population double that of the
United States and Britain combined.
Unfortunately, most Americans are
too busy or too unconcerned to think
about this serious situation. How many
know that in each of those dominated
countries only one party is permitted
and all opposition is liquidated? In
order to maintain communism in Rus
STA, hundreds Of thousands of the men,
bers of the middle class were exter-
minated. No one knows how many are
being murdered at present
1t certainly looks as if the indicated
aggression of Russia against Turkey
might be the opening shot of World
War III, unless the United States and
Britain decide to sacrifice Turkey and
allow the gigantic Communist empire
to dominate the earth. !

 Manthey has been given permis- sion to dragline the mouth of Gold Creek for fill material and has con- tracted to fill the Warner property on one side of the proposed new street.
