bought to bear on them by the
United States and Great Britain.
II was pointed out that China
recently had filed a similar

learned the American and Great
Britain views regarding the inn
portance of retaining Hirohito as
head Of Japan during its transi-

TROUBLE MAKING TO BE

KING SAYS

Navy and city police forces
are cooperating in having sailors
taken away by shore patrol for
ces before they cause trouble
City Manager King said today.
When a sailor becomes drunk
or is apparently about to start
trouble it will be the policy OF
city patrolmen to summon shore
patroln1en whenever possible So
that the trouble maker may be
taken away rather than cause
trouble.
In no case will a city police
man lose his dignity or disregard
case where an arrest should be
made. The present move is mere
