The bill is that introduced by
Senators Ives Of New York anc
Chavez OF New Mexico to prevent
discrimination In employment be-
cause OF race, religion, color, ma
tional origin or ancestry. 1t is spon-
sored also by Senator'S Saltonstall
Smith, Morse, Downey, Murray anc
Myers. Similar bills have been IN
troduced In the House by four men,
bers, but hearings have not yet beer
held.
During the war when workers
were in demand--and no questions
asked-a Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee was set up by presi-
Dental executive order. 1t accom-
plished q great deal toward elimi-
nation OF discrimination, despite
its limited authority. During the
war, too, both political parties
pledged themselves to the enactment
of permanent legislation on ahe Sub
iect. With the wars end. these
pledges did not appear to be worth
much. Appropriations, even suffi-
cient to permit a further conclusion
of the wartime committees work
were denied.
Four States Enact Laws.

have enacted their own laws intend

On this same point, the subcorn-

Acheson: g" the existence of
discrimination against minority

countries. The State Department
therefore has good reason to hope
for the continued and increased
effectiveness Of public and private

And some OF the witnesses re-
minded the subcommittee of Secre-

British Foreign Secretary Bevin

the French capital to be confined to
an analysis OF Europe's economic

is expected to move the discussions

Europe and the rest of the world.
With Mr.. Molotov in the lead the
Communists in Western Europe will

being done by Moscow and its
stooges in the case of Greece and
Turkey.
BY adopting such tactics the
Kremlin feels certain that 1t will

Macarthur Denies
His Policies in Japan
Lead 10 Socialism
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TOKYO, Dec. 31.-Gen. MacAr-
thur in a New Years statement
today defended his economic poll
cies in Japan against American
critics who had charged they led
toward socialism.
Allied economic policy, he de-
clared. has required the breaking
up" of a Japanese system under
which "a minority Of feudal fam
lilies" owned and controlled most OF
Japan's commerce. industry and
natural resources. This feudal sys-
tenn, he said, "was, indeed, so COM
plete a monopoly as to be in effect a
form of socialism in private hands"
The statement was his first public
answer to charges 'in the United
States that his policies were leading
toward socialization of Japan. Sen
atorial demands for an investiga-
ton of occupation policy had been
heard in Washington in the wake OF
the blasts of the critics.
Sees Incentive Provided.
Only through dissolution Of ia
pans feudal economic system, the
statement insisted, could the way
be cleared for the emergence OF an
sconomy conducive to the we'll
being of the people-an economy
embodying the principle Of private
capitalism based upon free COM
petitive enterprise an economy
which long experience has demon
strated alone provides maximum In
centive to development OF those
fundamental requirements to human
progress-individual initiative and
individual energy"
There has been criticism IN Japan,
as we'll as in America, OF Allied
economic measures, including the
passed law to decentralize
industries in which economic power
was excessively concentrated.
Gen. MacArthur's statement re-
minded the japanese they are
for the success or failure
of their country's political and
economic rebuilding.
No Longer Totalitarian.
Gen. Macarthur noted "encourag-
ing progress" toward political re-
form, and said the government "has
ceased to be totalitarian and has
become representative.
Every Japanese citizen can now
for the first time do what he wants
and go where he wants and say
what he wants, within the liberal
laws of his land. = This Is liberty.
Yet inherent in it are its obligations
to act with decorum and self
restraint, and become acutely con-
scious of responsibilities which a
free society imposes upon its every

Distributes Ore
by the Assoeiofed Press


OTTAWA, Dec. 31.-The method
by which nature impregnates the
earth with gold, silver and other
minerals was described for the
Geological Society Of America to-
day by man who saw it done
William F. Foshag OF the National
Museum in Washington.
The mineralogist based his story
on crater studies of the worlds
newest volcano, Paricutin, near
Mexico City. Mr.. Foshag has been
watching the volcano since its
birth In February, 1943, like an
anxious mother. He estimated that
as of May 81, 1915, this volcano was
giving off In excess of $4,000 tons
of water daily as steam, in addi-
ton to 100000 tons Of lava or melted
rock.
The steam comes from fresh
water held in porous bedrocks,
which become superheated as molten
rock rises from the earth's depths
This steam takes into solution
metallic and other elements con-
tanned in lava, later precipitating
them in cavities, fractures and
seams through which mineral
charged vapor circulates and grad
ually cools.
Ore deposits are now being
formed in this way in the area sur
rounding the crater of the volcano,
Mr.. Foshag said.
