Few Americans Interested
In Marrying Japanese
by ths Assoe;o,ed pr.ss

TOKYO. June 23.-Only a mi
nutely small percentage of Amer
lean soldiers and civilians in Japan
are interested in marrying japanese
girls, an unofficial survey indicated
today.
American consular authorities,
whose assistance is required for all
marriages of American citizens in
Japan, said they know of only about
Is persons not of Japanese ancestry
including civilians-who have ex-
pressed desire to marry japanese
girls.
Applications to commanding of
flcers to wed japanese have been
forwarded by a few Japanese
Americans and Negro troops. But
such requests are small compared
with the size of the occupation
force. ..
Eighth Army personnel officers at
Yokohama said there have been 10
requests by Americans of japanese
parents to marry Japanese ma
tionals, and Is requests by American
military personnel other than Nisei
to take japanese wives.
The officers said three such re-
quests had been granted under very
unusual circumstances" They said
ii appeared all three Americans in
volved were Niseis.

Selected Stocks Gain.
But Profit Cashing
Hits Many Leaders
By Victor Epbonk

NEW YORK. June 23-Scattered
favorites continued to display
progressive tendencies in today's
stock market although light profit
cashing on the recent bulge re-
strained many leaders.
Dealings slowed appreciably after
a fairly active opening and gains
of major fractions were reduced or
Cancelled in numerous cases near the
fourth hour.
A little further short covering and
investment bidding still was based
partly on a somewhat more opti-
mistic view of the economic picture
and the belief that fall recession,
if any, would be brief. Offerings
were attributed to the thought that
the June recovery may have cor
rected the spring reaction and
placed the list in a more vulnerable
position. The desire to await Sen
ate action on the labor bill veto
kept assorted customers on the side
lines.
Ahead most of the time were
American Telephone. North Amer

ber, Goodyear, Montgomery Ward,
Douglas Aircraft, Public Service Of
New Jersey. Cerro de Pasco. General

u. 5. Urged 10 Rent
Jap Navy Base After
Occupation Is Ended
By Reyes Beech
Foreign Correspondent Of The sssr and
the Chicago Dolly News

YOKOSUKA, Japan, June 49,
The once closed city of Yokosuka,
birthplace OF the Japanese Navy,
is now a United States Navy island
surrounded by the sea of the army
of occupation.
1t is ruled with tight hand by
Capt. Benton w. Decker. San Diego,
Calf. who knows what he wants
and how to get, it. 1t is called
"Decker's domain"
Capt. Decker works "a hours day
selling Yokosuka to any one who
will listen. Yokosuka Is the United
States Nays only base in Japan
and Capt, Decker thinks we should
hang on to it even after the occu-
patton ends.
He pictures 1t as the Guantanamo
of the Orient and believes we
should rent" it from the japanese
government as we do Guantanamo
Bay from the Cuban government.
After all. he reasons, we could
charge the rent to reparations.
supports macarthur.
Although a Navy man, Capt.
| Decker enforces Gen. MacArthur's
directives more rigidly than some
of the generals own subordinates.
He will not permit Navy men to
| fraternize with the japanese of Yo-
kosuka, a fact which some of his
| subordinates claim hinders their
work.
| Capt. Decker is his own military
government officer. His attitude to-
ward professional military govern
ment men is not flattering. When
he rides through the streets of Yo-
kosuka the Japanese police salute
him. Capt Decker wants them to
know who is boss.
| Capt. Decker has accomplished q
great deal for Yokosuka and Its
250.000 inhabitants since he took
command year ago. His predeces-
sors had done little toward the city's
postwar rehabilitation.
Despite his cold regard for the
Japanese, Capt. Decker realized
that much would have to be done
Streets were potted, buildings were
falling apart and utilities failed.
| Navy Only Industry.
For go years Yokosuka had had
but one industry-the navy. Moth
ing else was permitted by the Japa-
nese admirals who put wall around
Yokosuka and made 1t place Of
fear and mystery.
People born in Yokosuka died
without ever leaving it.
Capt. Decker has brought in new
industries. In what was formerly
the japanese Nays supply area
there is now paper mill, a knit
ting industry and a whaling COM
pany.
| What used to be a torpedo school
now houses an automobile company
engaged in converting trucks into
buses. The Tokyo Shibaura Elec-
trio Co.-the General Electric Of
Japan-is opening a branch factory
to employ more than 5000 men.
| Yokosuka has what its boosters
call the largest women's club in the
world, with $4,000 members. Among
other things, the ladies handle gar
bage collection.
