Macarthur Winds Up
Program 10 Break Up
zaibatsu HOLDINGS
BY the Associoted Press

breaking up Japan's economic
giants ended today. The Allied
occupation commander said it was
accomplished effectively"
Eleven bis corporations were
tagged for deconcentration by
five-man review board which came
here from Washington Is months
ago to make recommendations on
525 firms listed as excessive con-
centrations. The board recon-
mended Investment of certain
holdings for nine others.
The 1926 companies were Sc
lected for board action out Of
about 1900 which bad been af-
flliated with the zaibatsu holding
companies. Through this power
full setup, headquarters said, "a
small number of families exer-
cised all-pervasive control over
the industry. commerce and
finance of Japan" ;,
From it's beginning, the de.
concentration program was a mat
ter of hot international and
domestic debate. In the United
States, as well as in Japan, some
called it specialization. Others
criticized it as "fragmentation of
industry"
A press statement issued today
by Gen. MacArthurs headquarters
said:
! THE elimination of monopolistic
economic power which dominated
prewar japanese life has been ac-
complished effectively without ad-
verse effect upon, and no 'frag-
mentation' Of. finance or industry.
| "On the contrary, competent
observers point to the so per cent
increase in production along with
considerable progress toward
stabilization during the past year
as evidence of the growing health
of the japanese economy"
Some observers in Japan have
called the program a success.
Others have labelled it failure.
/ Board Chairman Joseph Robin
son held a news conference after
Gen. Macarthur announced the
boards task was completed and
its final report submitted. Mr..
Robinson declared:
Il feel there is in Japan today
no excessive concentration of
economic power. I know of no
job where a monopoly has been
dealt with so successfully without
adverse effect on finance or in
dustry."
MIR. Robinson was asked If he
felt former tycoons of Japanese
industry had maintained control
under cover or through puppets.
He replied
/ If any still exercises any de-
gree of control over industry, I'd
be greatly surprised"
The final result of the boards
work is this: ..-.-.,
Eleven enterprises were recon-
mended for structural reorganiza-
ton: three were required to dispose
of specified plants or stock hold
ings, two were referred to the
Fair Trade Commission with
specific recommendations regard
ing their trade practices. two were
recommended for complete re-
organization through industry
wide action, one was required to
divest itself Of governmental pre-
negatives"
Mr.. Robinson said much had
been done to break up the tena-
cious grip of the few families on
Japan's economic life before his
board was created. Imperial
Ordinances and anti-Zaibatsu
measures completed by other
agencies destroyed the top holding
companies. he said.
Mr.. Robinson cited industries
for which Recommendation was
recommended as including heavy
industry. steel, beer, paper. mining
and electrical.

the Civil Service Commission is
about a month away.

the Civil Service Commission is
about a month away.
President Truman is scheduled
to make the selection about Sep
ternber l. Mr.. Truman wants to
wait until the reorganization plan
affecting the commission becomes
law before making the appoint
ment.
It's reported no decision has been
made yet, but the following are
said to be receiving the most
serious considerations:
Donald Dawson, the President S
administrative assistant on per-
sonnel matters, who probably will
get the job unless Mr.. Truman
decides he is more valuable to him
in his White House capacity;
Henry Her of the Federal Security
Agency; Robert Smith, former
Labor Department personnel direc-
tor. now a Pullman Co. official;
former Representative Robert
Ramspeck of Georgia, who is now
an airline industry official; Gordon
Clapp. chairman of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, and former Rep
resentative Jennings Randolph OF
West Virginia, also an airline
official.
Both Mr.. Ramspeck and Mr..
Randolph are former chairmen of
the House Civil Service Committee
Neither is seeking the job, but
a lot OF their friends feel either
one would make an excellent COM
mission chairman.
PAY-Legislative and judicial
employees also will be taken care
of by Congress in the event it
approves general Federal pay re-
classification.
incidentally, move also will be
made on the Senate floor to in
crease the salaries of members of
Congress from the present SIS, 900
to 100000 or $4,000 a year.
Privately, many Senators and
Representatives say they feel they
deserve a pay boost because the
Governments top officials are in
line for raise that will give them
more money than members of
Congress are making.
The rub is that most lawmakers
don't want to make the initial
move toward raising their own
pay. They feel that it might be
the political kiss of death.
Meanwhile. Chairman Murray
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee says he is in favor Of re.
vising his $50 average reclassiflca.
ton bill to give lower -salariec
employees little better break Ths
increases wouldn't be much, bu
they would be a little better thar
the sta or $6.48 yearly increase!
that some of the lower -salariee
workers would get under th'
original bill. The committee i!
expected to report its bill eithel
Friday or Saturday.
