Macarthur Praises
Jap DIET S Ban AgainsI
Government Strikes
BY the Assoeiuisd Press

TOKYO, Dec. 1.-Gen. MacAr-
thur today lauded action by Japan's
Diet Parliament) as broad step
toward curbing "licentious minority
pressures" in vital government labor
unions.
The occupation commander has
shown concern over Communist in
fiuence in the unions but did not
mention communism by name. He
referred to passage of legisla ton
which he suggested - outlawing
strikes by the 2,500,0O0 government
workers. The measure, given final
approval last night, also prohibits
most Government employees from
bargaining collectively.
Gen. Macarthur issued a special
statement praising the 'enlightened
craftsmanship" behind the Diets
vote. The bill, he said. protects the
Government. from minority pres
sures and gives public servants the
benefits of civil service and high
standard of dignity, responsibility
and security"
His statement, said the measure
had been "popularly misrepresented
both here and abroad" as blow to
workers fundamental rights. He
said, however, it does not affect
private industry and that the Japa-
nese actually are given more leeWay
than their American equivalents.
Gen. Macarthur quoted President
Roosevelt as opposing United States
Government employees right to
strike. Under the new japanese
program, few government unions
notably the railway workers-will
be allowed bargaining rights. The
railways, most of which are operated
by the government, and monopoly
bureaus handling tobacco, salt and
camphor will be reorganized as
public corporations so they can
bargain. The no-strike edict will
still apply.
The strongly leftist government
unions, numbering sixth Of organ
lied labor's membership, will lose
most of the power which has enabled
them to threaten the country three
times with nationwide strikes.
Orders from Gen. MacArthur's
headquarters prevented those para
lying walkouts.
The government will establish a
civil service system designed to
weed out incompetent bureaucrats
and permit promotion by merit
rather than connections. 1t is in
tended eventually to raise the pres
ent low standard OF government pay.

BOXERS DO JUSTICE
 TO GOLD ROOM CHOW

Sixty steaks were oh hand last night for boxers and sponsors of the recent trial bouts, but the tender cuts were not for swollen eyes or leather burned cheeks. The boys had banquet in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel and proved themselves quite as capable at tha table as in the ring.
 Between the salad and the soup Jack Carroll said the last bouts had been great deal better than his original expectations and that if the boys train hard for the comirg meet, the Sitka bouts, to be held April 29, will be better yet. Several speakers. including sponsors and off, ficials, confirmed his beliet and re- emphasized the necessity of train- ing.
 Although just returned from their recent fire-fighting cruise, the Wa chusett boys were on deck last night and seemed eager to crawl through the ropes at the coming meet.

GAY MUSICAL S CALENDAR GIRL
 NOW AT CAPITOL

At last, Hollywood has produced the kind of musical the public wants to see. Not dull story with an ov- erabundance of song; not point less plot in which the heroine sud- denly bursts into lyric; but screen play that justifiably can be called real entertainment.
 The musical is Republics "Calen- dar Girl produced and directed by Allan Dwan, which opened last night at the Capitol Theatre, a per- feet blending of songs, laughter and romance. The light-hearted story, from the pens of Mary Loos, Rich ard Sale and Lee Loeb, .is about a pretty girl who can't make up her mind between two men The radiant Jane Frazee portrays tn girl, and William Marshall and James Eli son play the two men in her life.

''DILLINGER IS NOW ON SCREEN
 AT 10TH CENTURY

A classic film of the gangster era is "Dillinger," the Monogram melo- drame which opened at the goth Century Theatre last night. Adher- ing as it does to most of the factual facts in the criminal career of John Dillinger, gang leader who terror ized the Middle West ten years ago, until he was finally ambushed and killed by the FBI, the story could be no less than downright exciting. It is all of that.
 Members of the cast are ideally suited to their roles. Lawrence Tier ney plays the title part and Anne Jeffreys is his gang sweetheart, the notorious woman in red" who ev- entually betrays him to the G-men; while other members of the Dillin- ger mob are Edmund Lowe. Elisha Cook, Jr., Eduardo Ciannelli, Ralph Lewis and Marc Lawrence.
 With such a cast of known capa- bilities, it goes without saying that they play their roles with an un- studied ease which is completely convincing. And with the authen- tic,material provided by the absorb ing and highly dramatic story, the result is an unusually thrilling film
