sian attack on Japan held a bizarre
aspect With the US. as chief oc-
cupation force. how could the
Soviets launch an attack of the
Japanese without, in effect. making
war on the United States?
But, General Macarthur evident
ly held the subject serious enough
to comment about it.
''In case of another war, we do
not want Japan to fight" Mac
Arthur said. "Japan's role is to be
the Switzerland of the Pacific" he
explained.
THEN HE MADE a telling point
in speculation of Russian attack
on Japan:
Even if the Soviet government
had aggressive intentions toward
Japan, Russia would be incapable
of carrying them out unless she
could secure mastery of the air and
either had a far Eastern fleet of
her own or possessed the means of
neutralizing any action by our fleet.
Russia could not obtain air pre-
dominance" he went on. ION
Okinawa I had constructed at the
end of the war Is airfields with
the capacity to dispatch B-29's,
then our largest bombers, on $500
missions a day. The whole of east
ern Asia from Singapore to Vladi-
vostok would lie within range Of
those machines"
HE DID NOT point out that with
development of the bombing arm
of the air force since the war, even
farther distances for bombing pur-
poses could be covered by present
day missile carriers.
OF the function of japan in the
American strategy of defense, Mac
Arthur said:
I'VE never intended to use Japan
as an ally. All we want her to do
is remain neutral"

FEWER JOBS:
For White Collars

There are many fewer white col.
lar" Job openings than a year ago
in most U. S. cities, but high grade
personnel is still in demand. The
volume of job-seekers, particularly
men, is up all the way from ten per
cent to as much as 300 per cent. but
a heavy majority of the applicants
are below-standard material and
there is little market for them.
This is the tenor of reports from
LOG private employment agencies in
AZ principal cities from coast to
coast surveyed by the family eco
nomics bureau of Northwestern Ma
tional Life Insurance company.
THE "WEEDING OUT" process
is now on in full swing, agency ex.
ecutives report, as employers prune
down working forces to eliminate
the lazy. the inefficient, the chronic

MOST AGENCIES report that sal

The great majority of employers

mists slightly outnumber pessimists.
Most employers feel that pre-war
competition is here again, and with
it the immediate necessity of trim
ming costs and sharpening eff
cheney at every possible corner. The
prevailing attitude is that good busi-
ness can be had by means of in
creased efforts, if pending legisla-
tion does not turn out too unfavora-
bly,; many concerns are reported as
marking time on their future pro-
grams until they can see how the

UNIVERSE:
No Limits?

Since the first man lifted his
head and gazed in puzzled awe at
a star-studded sky, mankind has
been trying to discover the secrets
of the universe.
To that end, the huge, 200-inch
Palomar mountain telescope was
built and put into operation.
But the telescopes first contribu-
tion to the sum of mans knowledge
of the universe served only to deep
en- the mystery.
Astronomers using it found that
there is no outer edge to the uni
verse Of stars, and the look they
took was twice as far as man has
ever looked before.
The astronomers got some pic
lures of nebulae a billion light
years distant and spaced about a
million light-years apart. Each one
is world Of stars, like the Milky
Way. The star worlds are about
uniformly spread up to the previ-
Gus limits of sight. about half
billion light years.
THE NEXT STUDY will be to
find whether there is any thinning
of the celestial families as sight is
extended outward.
One stunning fact the discovery
brought home was that there is
more than one star for every hu-
man being who ever lived Nearly
every star family, or nebulae, con-
tains more than a hundred, million
individual stars.
Now it is science concurring in
the psalm: THE heavens declare
the glory of God, and the firna-
ment showeth His handiwork ="

INFLATION:
Has Two Faces

Observers purportedly on the Gin
side" of things in Washington re-
gard approval of the congressional
committee on the economic report
Mr.. Truman's proposal for CON-
trolls to ward off inflation-as lip
service only and argue that none
of the committee expect the pro-
posal to win congressional favor.
It was said the favorable COM
mittee report was made only to
"save face" for the President as
he seeks to implement the pledges
he made in his election campaign.
THE COMMITTEE vote, which
will send the measure to the floor
of congress. was to 4 for approval.
and that came only after the pro-
posals Of the President had been
toned down.
Critics Of the Truman plan say
it poses the unique theory that the
country is in the midst of an in
flation and deflation period at the
same time-a condition admittedly
difficult Of comprehension.
They assert, too, that it would
give dangerous controls to the
President at a time when they ac-
tually are not needed.
One commentator observed that
II any members of the committee
considering the proposal had had
any idea it would be enacted by the
congress. it would have been killed
completely before it ever got to the
floor of the house or senate.
