Eight Points + In an, eight-point directive blueprinting Japan's post-war domestic «economy, he also ordered strict control of wages, prices and rationed goods, The directive halted all aircraft, naval and other war production, and urged maximum output of civilian necessities of food, clothing «and shelter, «
Japan by President Truman in his directive to MacArthur. The general's sweeping financial order was seen as a step toward ‘gecuring reparations from Japan and toward thwarting attempts of Japanese war profiteers to unload their wealth in an effort to escape war guilt trials. President Truman directed that “yeparations would be secured in part through the transfer of Jap“anese property outside the home ‘islands. ’ Financial Order
MacArthur's financial order specifically directed the government to ‘amend its laws to prohibit: "1. Export to or import from any “foreign country of gold or silver “goin; gold, silver or platinum: bul“lion; currency, securities, checks, “bank drafts, bills of exchange, © powers of attorneys, proxies, or any “other evidence of indebtedness or “of property ownership. . 2. Transactions within Japan in gold or silver coin or gold, silver
3. Transfer of assets abroad “owned or controlled directly or in~directly in whole or part by any -person within Japan, © 4 Transfer of property which “now or which has been since Dec. 7, ©1941, owned or controlled by any =person outside Japan. © 5. Transactions” in foreign ex“ghange. © MacArthur said the orders were “aimed “at freezing traffic in cur“rencies and all negotiable assets “within the. country which will in “turn facilitate the fingerprinting “of the nation’s assets here and “abroad. ” £ In his new press directive, Mac- = Arthur ordered the government - forthwith to eliminate state-created “barriers to dissemination of news “and to “remove itself from direct Zor indirect control of newspapers Zand news agencies.” % The government was ordered to strip the heretoforé official Domei Znews agency of all special privi- | Zleges and make it subject to com- © petition from whatever news serv“ices choose to enter the field.
Removes Monopoly
MacArthur ordered the govern“ment to rescind its prohibition on = reception of foreign news by radio "by any agency except the ministry “of communications. ' He sald the present system of “news distribution within‘ the home “islands would continue under strict censorship until “such time as pri“vate enterprise creates acceptable - substitutes for the present monopoly.” In specifically banning research - which might lead to Japanese pro“duction of an atomic bomb, the “directive said no work would be : permitted “which has as its object “the effecting of mass separation of -uranitm 235 from uranium or ef- - fecting mass separation of any “radio-active unstable substance.” © Last July, Japanese newspapers

TWO: This would be about the time when large concerns were expecting to swing into majot production. In addition to the obvious effects of strikes in industry at that period, there is the psychological effect tending to cause manufacturers to slow down their change-over drive. THREE: Another factor in the timing would bring the big strikes just before the Detroit municipal election, in which another U A.W. vice president, Richard T. Frankensteen is a candidate for mayor against the incumbent, Edward J. Jeffries. Competent observers say

Atterbury officials explained that the separation duties are in addition to the task of reassigning point-shy. troops after they arrive home for furlough.

Spend to Prosperity?
The bill before the senate declares that everyone is. “entitled to the opportunity” for a good, wellpaying job. To back up that promise it directs the President to submit to congress each year a projected national budget on probable numbers of available jobs and workers. If the budget indicate unemployment, the President is directed to submit a program of job-stimulating government spending to congress. Taft predicted that congress would not accept any such program of spending even if the President submits it. He said the bill was simply an attempt to “Pe-establish the spendyourself -to-prosperity theory.”

gasoline supplies were cut sharply.| ing Oswiecim, she had gone to | the hospital with a broken leg.
Another grave strike threat arose in Pennsylvania where a strike to gain bargainthg rights for supervisory workers spread to 29 soft coal] - mines employing 16,000 miners. The strike by the United Mine Workers union cut off production of 75,000 tons of coal daily. . At Detroit Chrysler Corp, officials asked for a wage conference with representatives of the C, I. O.
tomorrow. U. A. W. Chrysler locals have authorized a petition for a strike vote. About 150,000 employees would be affected by a Chrysler strike. Travel Stalled The oil workers strike stalled public transportation at Pontiac, Mich., a factory center of 66,000 persons 28 miles from Detroit. The bus company said its gasoline supply -was exhausted and that no more was available, Hundreds of Detroit filling stations were closed .by the gasoline shortage. The lumber walkout “was called following a breakdown in negoliations for a blanket minimum wage of $1.10 -an hour for workers in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. The employers have declined to negotiate on an industry wide basis, contending settlement should be made in each area. Hopes for settlement of the spreading oil strike apparently | hinged on a joint conference of) union and oil company officials, scheduled for tomorrow in Chicago with federal department of labor conciliators. 2 Refineries Curbed
Members of the C. 1. O. United Oil Wotkers . International Union, struck two additional Texas refineries yesterday. Operations in three of the nation’s richest refining areas — the Texas gulf coast region, the Calumet river basin near Chicago and the Ohio-West Virginia section — were crippled by the mass walkout. Refining centers

Calumet area pointed to the return of gas rationing in one form or another by the end of the week. Hoosier Mayors Meet Gas rationing on a voluntary basis already had been resumed in Toledo, O. Mayors of eight northern Indiana cities prepared to meet in Hammond today at the request of State Senator Charles Fleming “to exchange ideas on gas rationing.” Members of the oil workers union in the Seminole, Okla. area today began taking a strike vote by secret ballot. Elsewhere in the nation: A short-lived strike by 1200 employees of the Saucon plant of the Bethlehem Steel Co. was called off, although some 8000 other workers remained out in the Philadelphia industrial area. A labor-management parley with war labor hoard officials was set for today in a renewed effort to end a walkout of 1000 C. I. O. pumping station operators employed by the United Fuel Gas Co. in Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio.
Indiana’s Total of Strike-Idle Drops
Indiana's total of unemployed due to strikes was reduced today when walkouts ended at Indianapolis and Auburn. Exclusive of the oil workers idle in Lake county, an estimated 3400 persons were affected today by the walkouts of 2400 employees of six industrial firms, There were, however, no new walkouts, The latest strike, that of 280 truck drivers for the Omar Bakery, Inc., Indianapolis, ended | with the return of the striking In-| ternational Teamsters’ union mem- | bers. Nearly 300 other workers, not involved in the strike, affected. The strike began Thursday. Rubber Strike Ends At Auburn, 275 workers ended a walkout which began Aug. 21 at the Auburn Rubber Co. The walkout was blamed on pay issues by members of the C. 1. O. United Rubber Workers union. Blsewhere, 1600 were idle in the state's most extensive strike, involying employees of the Perfect Circle Piston Ring Co.: 1000 were off at the McQuay Norris manufacturing plant at Connersville; 315 were idle at the Bastian-Morley plant at La Porte; a walkout of 180 at the strawboard plant of the Ball Broth ers Co. at Noblesville, _A hundred and sixty were idle in

some weeks ago. But this com-| pany backed out of the negotia-|

The auto workers are demanding a 30 per cent wage increase. They were the first C, I. O. unions to make théir wage demand, and it was done without consultation with the national officers of the C. I. O. The steel and electrical unions settled on a demand for a $2 a day increase, which is slightly less than 25 per cnet. The rubber workers have asked for a $1.80 raise per day, which is about the same percentage as the steel and electrical workers, Dramatized in Detroit
Because the auto union is blustery and provocative, and the auto industry is efficient and profitable, the national issue of wages will be dramatized right here in Detroit. And when the shouting (or per haps striking) is over, the wage increases will come out of the profits of private enterprise. Right now the issue is industry's ability to pay at existing price levels. Obviously, statistics on industry's ability to~pay are not conclusive, or there wouldn't be a crisis. Statisticians have a tendency to throw curves in favor of the people who hired them.
PAPER SAYS RUSS HAD ‘BOMB SECRET’
LONDON, Sept. 24 (U. P.).—The London Sunday Pictorial asserted yesterday that Russian scientists had discovered the “main secret” of the atomic bomb at least six months ago. The newspaper's diplomatic cor~ respondent said “News of the discovery was published in a Russian scientific’ paper for private distribution dated March, 1945.” He sald a few days ago — “Significantly enough, soon after opening of the Big Five conference.” “This does not seem to be known in Washington,” the Pictorial sald.

The Perfect Circle strike involved 600 workers in the plant's foundry at Newcastle, but 1000 other persons in plants at Hagertown, Tipton and Richmond were idle because of a shortage of castings furnished by the Newcastle plant,
