the way.
Americans are planning Japan's
foreign trade program today We
are~telling them how many ships
theyscan have and where they can
sail them. We are worrying about
their health and sanitation in
way Japan has never known.
Japan hasn't the necessities that

'sThe Tokyo officials figure that

ficer of MacArthur's headquar-
tiers. Then the national govern
ment would hope there would be
enough delay so it would be all
over and nothing would have to
be done"
Allied headquarters didn't see
it that way. When positive figures
showed the tremendous loss of
life, the injured and destroyed
houses, Col. Sans staff routed the
national welfare officials out of
bed, summoned others back from
week end rest in the country.
The Japanese had no setup
for coping with a disaster be-
cause they never had such a
program in the past. Central
lied and co-ordinated effort was
something they never had con-
sidered.
The Japanese watched in
amazement as the occupation

that of raising money in time of
disaster. Col. Sans crew tried
to show the japanese how to APP
peal to the public for help---that
everyone should help those in dis
tress. The program was failure.
Col. Sans said, ruefully, that the
Japanese got only 100000 yen in
three days but that 1T was start
and another good lesson"
COL Sans is convinced that
now that the Japanese have seen
how the American and British
pitch in on a disaster that they
will do better by themselves next
time.
The occupation of Japan is a.
lot different than that in Ger
many. as. any army officer who
has served in both areas will
state enphaticallY. In Germany
the zones are divided. but here
Macarthur and his unified COM
nnand rules the entire country.
The United States Army trained
military government teams against
the day when Japan would be
and they could be sent
in to take over every prefecture
a prefecture is a little larger than
an American county.
Then the war ended suddenly
and Gen. Douglas Macarthur de-
eided to use the emperor and the
established government instead Of
his military teams.
There are some military teams
in Jaapn today but they are small.
They roam the prefectures to see
that the directives handed down
from Allied headquarters to the
Japanese government are carried
out. They are mostly concentrated
in the larger cities.
About a year ago there was a
lot of talk that Gen. Macarthur
as Supreme Commander for AL
lied Powers was in control of the
Russian occupied areas. The state
department said SO, then with
drew the comment. Macarthur
has nothing to do with Northern
Korea, the Sakhalin peninsula
(Karafuto) and the Kuries.
In Tokyo the Russians have
an estimated 900 military and
civilian personnel attached to
the staff of the Russian member
Of the Allied Council for Japan.

Incidentally, the British role in ]

only to that of the Americans.
The British have 10000 troops in
the country. We have 100000,
which is supposed to be a secret.
. As the year opened the British
commonwealth disposition was,
$4,000 Australians, 5000 from the
United Kingdom-England, Scot
land, Wales and North Ireland;
$4,000 from India and 5000 from
New Zealand. The United King
dom and Indian troops are leav-
ing Japan. They will be replac-
ed by Australians and New Zea-
landers in accordance with deci-
'sions of the Inter-dominion de-
tense conference in London.
American troop strength is
being reduced to $4,000.
Unlike Germany, where there
are separate Allied zones, the
whole operation here is controlled
by the Eighth army. The British
take their orders from 1t. Gen.
Robert L. Eichelberger in Yoko-
hama. The directives come from
the supreme commander. rs
This is MacArthur's task-but

By Arlington Board

Tentative approval of 13 out Of 18
proposed amendments to the Airing
ton County zoning law was given
last night by the Arlington County
Board at public hearing.
County Manager A. T. Lundberg
said the 18 amendments included a
number designed to clarity existing
zoning laws. The balance include
such changes as the standardizing
of setbacks for different commercial
zones and the liberalizing of parking
area restrictions.
These amendments are the out
growth of some zoning law changes
proposed by the County Board OF
Trade" Mr. Lundberg said. In ad-
dition to changes requested by the
trade body, however, it was de-
cided to consider at the same time
the Qualification amendments, he
said.
About Is Arlington residents ap-
peared before the five-man board
in the county courthouse last night
to express their views. Among
amendments tentatively approved
was one permitting buildings rs feet
high instead of the present 60-foot
limit.

final action will be taken on all the
amendments at the first County
