Japanese seem to find no irony in
getting cash from their conquerors
for paper they once had to force
upon their victims.
The Gina was destroyed COM
pletely by aerial bombardment.
This is the new Gina, rebuilt and
its rubble removed since American
occupation. There are hundreds of
open-air stalls along both sides of
the street, displaying variety of
wares - lighters, antimony ciga-
rette boxes, canvas Boston" bags,
leather watch-straps, wood getas
Japanese clogs, clocks. cheap
jewelry, celluloid boxes, japanese
dolls, chopsticks, shoelaces, SOU
venir post cards, toy parachutes.
OUTSIDE of the Gina you can
still see evidences of the great fires
that resulted from the American
air raids. Orders of the larger
buildings are rusted and scared,
and bent all out of shape from the
heat.
Reconstruction in Tokyo has
taken a honky-tonk turn. New
buildings are plentiful but jerry
built. Dance halls abound in the
city - very popular with the
japanese younger set, now that
the restrictions on Westen-style
dancing have been removed.

Two years after V-Day, the

proper into the Jail Office. Mr.
Howes said the key also must have
fitted the lock on the cell in which
Crews was confined.
Mr.. Howes said there were six other

his cell then. The man had been
confined to a single cell following

escape about 10 am. when he re-
turned to the Jail from Police Court
in the nearby courthouse. He said
that no one had been on duty in
the Jail during the time he was In

of the sheriff's Office.
Ray was described as being about

Chinese government by the Can
adian War Assets Corp. of $50 twin

Indonesions Plan to Ask

P.-Premier Amir Sjarifoeddin said
yesterday that the Indonesian Re-
public planned to ask that the op-

might make with the Netherlands

probably the United States or
Britain.
The Indonesian Premier did not
indicate at a news conference exactly
how his government anticipated such
a third-party guarantee would work.
Observers said Mr.. Sjarifoeddin's
statement illustrated the marked de-
sire of top Republican circles to

Difficulties Cited.
The Republican reply to this argu-
ment Is that Congress only relaxed
price controls and that the admins
tration, which claimed the new setup
was unavoidable, removed them.
But Senator Pepper said the re-
sponsibility must be laid at the door
of the COP, adding that for this
reason there would be no point in
calling a special session of Congress
to grapple with the situation.

The commodity futures markets
at Chicago, Kansas City and Mime
apolis were asked by the Govern
ment to require an initial margin
of 33llas per cent on all speculative
transactions in all grains.
At Chicago, where the bulk Of the
speculative trading is carried on, the
present margin was said to be about
16 per cent for wheat and II per
cent for corn. The Government
wants it to be 80 and "a per cent,
respectively.
