MACARTHUR ORDERS GENERAL ELECTION; EDICT IS DELIVERED

TOKYO, Feb. 7.-General Mac Arthur took indirect note today of the increasingly insistent and wide spread opposition to the conserva- tive government of Premier Shige- I'll Yoshida and ordered another general election for Japan.
 The Supreme Commanders edict was delivered to Yoshida in a politely couched letter expressing the belief that "the time has come for another election" to ''once more advance the process of Democracy which now governs the state"
 However, there was no doubt that the belief carried the full weight of the Supreme Commanders or der.
 The letter likewise omitted refer ence to the political friction which has made the Yoshida government largely ineffective, but it left scant doubt that the doom of the ultra conservative cabinet had practical ly been sealed.
 Yoshida has been the target of heavy criticism froin all factions except the ultra conservatives, La borites, leftists and middle classes.

U. S. AND RUSSIA
 DEADl0CkED ON
 ARMS REDUCTION

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-The dead locked United Nations debate on arms reduction machinery was in terrupted temporarily today to give the United States and Soviet Russia a chance to settle their differences in a private talk.
 Yesterdays seven-hour closed session of the committee left the delegates agreed on number ot major points, but still far apart on one big issue-how to define the relationship between the proposed arms commission and the present atomic energy commission.
 The United States took a firm position that the Security Councils resolution setting up the new arms commission must state clearly that it cannot encroach on the field already assigned to the atomic com mission. Russia insisted that such a statement was unnecessary.
 The fight was almost exclusively between the United States and Russia. The four other members of the committee-France, Australia, Colombia and Belgium-were seek ing to find solution which would satisfy both U. s. Delegate War ren R. Austin and Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko.

COURT HOLDS THOMPSON IS GOV. GEORGIA

McDONOUGH, Ga. Feb. 7.-Su- perior Judge Claude H. Porter rul- ed today that Lieut.. Gov. M. E. Thompson is Georgia's Acting Gov ernor and that Herman Talmadge $ election by the Legislature was in- valid.
 The decision, handed down at Rome, Ga. ordered the State Pardon and Parole Board to turn over records on .budgetary matters to Thompson. An appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court was an- nounced quickly by Herman.
 Judge Porter held that the legis- lature could only declare Eugene Talmadge, Herman's father who was elected but died before his inauguration, had received the ma jority of the general election votes and that Ellis Arnall held over in the office until his resignation.
 Arnell resigned four days after the legislature elected the younger Talmadge. Judge Porter ruled that when he did so Thompson succeed ed to the Governorship.

 In Fight on
 Labor Laws
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH

By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
 WASHINGTON, Feb. T. Two leading Republican Presidential. pos siLilities for l948 collided sharply today on labor legislation.
 Harold E. Stassen, an announced candidate for the top COP nomi- nation, went before the Senate la bor committee yesterday and pro- posed a secret majority vote of workers as the last step before a strike.
 Committee Chairman Taft (R- Ohio) whose name has been linked with Presidential talk, called Stas- sens suggestion trivial" and a lively exchange followed
 Stassen told Taft that If you believe in the democracy of work CTS, you must have confidence" in a secret ballot
 Taft argued that in such a vote the workers do not go against their leaders
 Senator Ball R-Minn) who was appointed to the Senate by Stas- sen when the latter was Governor of Minnesota in l940, criticized Stassens proposal on the ground that majority vote requirement would be too drastic.
 Stassen countered that it would bo .oN dro ctip if Rallfc lppiclatinr to outlaw the closed shop were en- acted By this he apparently meant that in an open shop, a smaller vote for strike would suf- flee
 1 Stassen opposed Balls bill to out law the closed shop and it's modifi- cations. saying it would restrict the freedom of contract
