Gen. Macarthur uses this au-
thority sparingly. however. He
prefers to address suggestions
to the Japanese government
which often ignores them.
Now the Japanese generally
are becoming more anxious than
ever to regain a world position as
an independent nation. But they
have failed, thus far, to regain

nomic stability necessary for in

But as Japanese impatience in
creases. it is becoming more diff
cult to enforce occupation orders,
even when they are designed to
help the Japanese themselves. In
time, this may require more of
Gen. MacArthur's direct inter-
vention to insure compliance.
One of the big tests during
this critical fifth year will be the

Japan Begins TO Stir
As Macarthur Starts
Fifth Year Of Rule

(Mr. Brines, Associated Press
Bureau chief in Tokyo since
April, 1916. is noD en- route
back to his post after home
leaUeJ
By Russell Brines
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 81
Gen. Macarthur will begin a test
of strength with himself on
September 2.
That anniversary Of the formal
Japanese surrender will start his
fifth year as Japan's unseen
ruler" And five years. he has said.
marks the maximum period during
which a military occupation can
remain effective.
The point is whether Gen. Mac
Arthur, the statesman. can smooth
away the difficulties which Gen.
Macarthur, the prophet, accur-
ately foresaw at the end OF the
war.
He said then that military oc.
cupations lose their force in three
to five years because by that time
conquered peoples have regained
the will and the means to resist
'rule by bayonets."
That trend began Iore than a
year ago among the unusually
obedient japanese. 1t has been
expressed through backstage cppo-
sition by japanese power groups
and in noticeable restlessness
among the people as a whole.
Indefinite Occupation Seen.
Nevertheless, the military oc-
cupation of Japan appears to be
planned for an indefinite period.
It's continued effectiveness may
depend considerably on how well
Gen. Macarthur keeps his unde-
niable hold on the mass of 80.-
100000 japanese. His position is
so strong that even now no Japa-
nese dares oppose him openly,
although it is becoming fashion,
able to buck lesser occupation
officials.
To the people who once thought
they hated him, Gen. Macarthur
has become a sort Of democratic
emperor"
In four years only a few thou
sand Japanese have seen the
general in person. They waited,
sometimes for hours, for a brief
glimpse while he entered or left
his Tokyo headquarters. During
the occupation, Gen. Macarthur
has not travelled in Japan, out
side of Tokyo and its adjacent
airfield. He attends few public
functions and none. to which
Japanese are invited.
Otherwise the country knows
him-even in remote hamlets-
by what he says in public state
ments, by frequent but usually
distorted newspaper photographs
and by the impressions individual
Japanese have formulated in their
own minds.
Devotion Shifted to Macarthur.
This corresponds to the classic
Japanese conception Of power.
For centuries, until the end Of
the Pacific war, the nation sup
posedly was ruled by emperors
who lived in mystical seclusion.
In defeat. the Japanese trans
ferred some of their emotional
devotion from Emperor Hirohito

seven-day work schedule. These
and other factors added a flavor
of "demo-krassie" to the ruling
tradition.
So Gen. Macarthur has be-
come the ultimate arbiter OF tan
gled japanese affairs. Aside from
his power as supreme commander,
japanese opponents do not want
to tangle openly with him, be-
cause it would mean public un-
popularity.
Authority Used Sparingly.
Direct orders from the general,
for instance, have stopped strikes
that might endanger the coun-
try's economy and have helped
restrict Communist influence.

to the winner-MacArthur. His
position was strengthened when
the occupation became benevo-
lent instead of vengeful. The
general himself was personified
as the type of strong man" the
japanese have been searching
for unsuccessfully among them
selves for generations.
Thousands of japanese OF all
classes began to write him per-
sonal letters, containing every
thing from political suggestions
to requests for help. They had
never dared communicate with
an emperor. The country also
soon became aware the general
intended to keep his rigorous

Propose Agency For Development Of Alaska

SEATTLE, (P)-An Alaska De- velopment Agency, somewhat like the proposed Columbia Valley Ad- miniStration will be brought be- fore the next Congress.
 This was the disclosure yester- day of William E. Warne, assistant secretary of the interior, who is en route back to Washington, D. C., on completion of his fourth Alaskan inspection tour.
 In a speech before the Young Mems Democratic Club he out lined what he called the interior departments four-point program for Alaska development:
 l. Statehood.
 2. A land settlement agency and law to replace the outmoded homestead act.
 3. A development agency, pat termed somewhat on the order or the proposed CVA, to utilize the hydro-electric resources of Alaska for industry and manufacturing. The agency's board would be made up of Alaskans. A bill along these lines will be submitted to the next Congress.
 4. Settlement forthwith of na- tive claims, mainly in Southeast ern Alaska, which have beclouded titles and are holding back devel- opment.
 Alaska must have its own voice instead of absentee management" Warne said, in advocating State

 The development of the Terri tory, with its vast fishery resourc- es and the greatest forest stand ing under the American flag to- day." is vital to the growth of Seattle and the Northwestern States, he pointed out.
 Of Alaska's 365 million acres. only l2,500 have been put under cultivation, Warne said, because "homesteaders just can't make a go of it alone" He said "recla- nation type" development is necessary to clear land and build roads before the several million acres of agricultural land can be put to profitable use.
 If this kind of program is car ried out" he said, i've can put 350,000 people in Alaska in 10 years time.
 "The most exciting thing that will happen in the United States during the next five years will be the development of Grand COulee power and Columbia Basin lands.
 It's only since we began to use the Columbia River that industri- al growth came to the Northwest.

Anacostia Citizens Weigh
Question on Membership

The question of whether resi-
dents of an apartment on the
boundary of areas claimed by two
citizens associations may join both
groups was brought before the
Anacostia Citizens Association
last night.
Alfred Andrews. representing
165 families in the Hillside Ter
race Apartments. Twenty-third
and S streets Sc. said, Il have
been living in an apartment for
five years and feel I have not
really participated in community
affairs"
Some of us want to join your
group. and some want to join the
Randle Highlands Citizens AS
sociation. We are civic-minded,
and even though we live in apart
ments, we are still alive"
DR.. Samuel o. Burdette, presi-
dent of the Anacostia group,
agreed to bring the matter before
the Southeast Council of Citizens
Associations.
An adequate" public library
was asked for the Anacostia area
TO be built on ground already
bought by the District for that
purpose.
