always did in the past.
A retainer stepped up beside the
Emperor, reminder that it was time
to go. Hirohito turned and walked
toward the rear Of the platform. A
shout came from the right. The
crowd took up the shout and the
Emperor stood at the exit, hat in
hand, like an actor making his exit.
Then he walked few yards to his
maroon car. Students and old people
alike broke through the police ropes
and surrounded the car, shouting
"banzai." That broke up the rally,
The sedan moved through the

moment on an inner bridge in fun

tton. Then Hirohito was gone.
All this time a Japanese brass
band blared away with STARS and
Stripes Forever"
For, more than an hour before
Hirohito arrived, the Japanese
stood In the square, presenting q
solid front of umbrellas to the rain
as speakers talked OF Japan's new
era" of democratic freedom.
They saved their most applause,
however, Tor aged parliamentarian
Yukio Ozaki, who told them they
had a long way to 60 to realize
democracy, and declared:
You think you are free but you

Then Hirohito started to lift his hat

on his head.
That brought q roar from the

Reds Out to Turn Economic Ills
OF France Into Political Chaos

Former Premier Leon Blum Is re-
garded as another likely successor,
The 75-year-old elder statesman
has been considering the situation
and approached certain politicians,
such as Paul Reynaud, wartime Pre-
mier, to cooperate in formation OF
another government.
Reynaud Out to Bar Reds.
Mr.. Reynaud, who Is anxious to
stage a political comeback, agreed
on condition that Communists were
not included in the. administration
which should be composed of the
representatives of all the other par
ties. This Mr.. Blum Is said to have
refused, on the grounds that the
Communists, who polled rs per cent
OF the votes in the last election and
are the largest single bloc In the
Assembly, cannot be ignored.
Mr.. Reynaud's stand is that no
government can hope to work con-
structively in France so long as the
Communists In the cabinet are in a
position to dictate to the majority
through their ability to call a gem
eral strike whenever a major issue
arises.
MIR. Bidault is said to be prepared
to organize a. cabinet including the
Communists. His relations with
that group, and especially with Mr..
Thorez,a are still in the honeymoon
stage. It would be easy for him to
find any number Of ofiice-hungry
politicians to join in a new govern
ment.5 But 1t is most improbable
that, as things stand In France at
the present time, any government
can live longer than few months,
Gen. Charles de Gaulle's chances
OF playing a role in French politics
are considered by all French politi-
cal observers to be nonexistent.
The strength of his newly formed
party Is negligible and his popu
larity in the country has decIii4ed
since he became another contender
for power.

Public Apathy Blamed
ByLa Roe for Delay in
Crime Curbs Here

Public apathy is delaying legisla-
ton which would do much to curb
Washington's mounting record oi
crime, Wilbur La Roe, former MEM
ber Of the Parole Board, told the
Corrections Division, Council Of So
cia1 Agencies, yesterday.
Mr.. La Roe spoke at a luncheon
meeting at the Willard Hotel al
which he was honored by the diyf-
sion for outstanding work In adj
n1inistering criminal justice and
preventing crime. A scroll was pre-
scented to Mr.. La Roe by Leo A
Rover, former United States attor-
ney here and member OF the Board
Of Indeterminate Sentence and
Parole.
Another speaker at the meeting
was Senator McGrath, Democrat
of Rhode Island, who called for a
wide social program of housing
health and cleanliness to prevent
crime.
Calls City 'Unsafe."
IT am frankly disturbed about the
crime situation in Washington, Mr..
La Roe said. There Is no excuse
for the number of robberies and
burelaries that we have in this city.
do not want to exaggerate and
say that 1t Is an unsafe city to live
In, but I do know that many of our
citizens are deeply concerned.
"If your house was not broken
into during the past year, some
house near you was. The time has
come for all good citizens to be
worried about this matter and to
ascertain who Is responsible for
this condition"
Joseph C.. Grew, former Ambas-
sador to Japan. WHO presided, told
the meeting the automobile, partic-
ularly In the hands of drunken
driver, is a more powerful weapon
than revolver. He declared
drunken drivers are not receiving
the sentences they should for pub
Lie safety.
Urges Social Program"
Senator McGrath called for "a
social program the like OF which the
world has never SEEN" He said it
should embrace worthwhile homes,
as well a. teach cleanliness and
health. He told his audience the
Government must do its utmost to
combat juvenile delinquency.
The Senator. former Solicitor
General and Governor of Rhode
Island, said nothing will solve the
juvenile delinquency problem but
individual treatment of the indi-
videal case"
Mr.. McGrath likened the juvenile
delinquency problem to getting the
individual rotten apple. out of the
barrel. He said 1t is up to social
agencies to find out where the seeds
Of unlawfulness are. Social agencies
should make provision for confiden-
tial talks with parents, he declared,
TO aid in solving juvenile delin-
quency. :
Mr.. Rover, in presenting the scroll,
termed Mr.. LaRoe a lawyer who
has "the respect Of the bench, the
bar and his clients"

Clay Declares Goal
I0f U. 5. Is 10 Root
Democracy in Reich
BY ths Assoeiossd Pres,

BERLIN, May 3.-The program Of
the American Military Government
Is directed toward the establish
ment of democracy in the German
government and the German people
with a view to the eventual peaceful
participation by Germany In inter
national relations" Gen. Lucius D
Clay said today In a directive on the
objectives and principles OF military
government.
The directive by the American
commander In Europe is q revision
OF previous military government
policy statements to include signifi-
cant changes which have occurred
during the past year.
Democracy cannot be imposed bt
a foreign power but must be rooted
in the convictions Of the people
themselves and must be learned by
experience and practice, the direc-
tive continued.
May Be Aided by Advice.
The German people and govern
ment may be aided In this, however
by informed and tactful advice ano
guidance, 1t added.
j 1t is the view Of the United States
Government that the German people
throughout Germany, under proper
safeguards, should now be given
primary responsibility for running
their own affairs In order that they
may learn and practice democracy
The directive emphasized that al
though Germany is a defeated Ma
ton it is not intended to destroy
or enslave the German people but
to occupy Germany for the purpose
of realizing certain important Al
lied objectives.
The principal objective of the
United States, Gen. Clay said, twas
torassure that Germany never again
will threaten her neighbors or the
peace of the world"
Demiiitarization Nearly Over.
In mplementing this principle OBJ
jective, Gen. Clay's directive said 1t
was American policy to place special
emphasis on the more constructive
program Of characterization because
militaristic and other totalitarian
threats would finally be eliminated
only If the German people learn to
think, believe and act in terms of
democracy, peace. and the rights Of
others. ;.
Another step in this direction,
denilitarization, is substantially
complete in the American zone, the
directive said.
1t outlined the essential steps as
elimination Of German militarism,
Nazism and all the other anti
democratic forces in Germany: COM
plete disarmament and demilitariza
ton and the elimination or control
Of all German industry that could
be used primarily for military pro-
duction.
