JAP POLICE MAY DEFY ORDER BY GEN. MW ARTHUR

Chiefs Retain Posts Despite Ouster Edict; Nippon’s Cabinet Falls.

By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent TOKYO, Oct. 5.—The Japanese home office today ordered provincial police chiefs to hold on for the time being to posts from which, ‘Gen. Douglas MacArthur had ordered them ousted by Oct. 10. The home office's hint at potential deflance of MacArthur came as Japanese diplomats scurried aboyt fn an effort to form a government to replace that of Prince Naruhiko Higashi-Kuni, which was overs thrown by the supreme commander's sweeping reforms. Shigerus Yoshida, foreign minster in the fallen cabinet and leader of a peace movement for which he was arrested as early as Yast June, looked to’ be the most \ likely candidate for the leadership of the new government. Amidst the government shakeup the home office instructed Japan's provincial police chiefs to disregard MacArthur's removal orders “pending decisions on future steps.” Tell Police to Remain The home office directive told the police chiefs to stay on the job. It added that immediate dissolution of the police chief setup would have “a considerable bearing upon the domestic situation.” Lacking a time element to compare with MacArthur's ouster date of Oct. 10, the true significance of the home office order was uncertain. If it was designed as a feeler to test the temper of MacArthur's order, it left the way open for a full retreat if necessary. Yoshida conferred with MacArthur’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland. It sought an audience with MacArthur but was referred to Sutherland. They talked for an hour, and Yoshida emerged

There was doubt, until a half hour before the game started that it would be played because of a two-hour rain. But after inspecting the diamond with the umpires, Baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) - Chandler, who had been attending a political luncheon while the players and fans wondered what his ruling would be, decided to start the game on schedule. Because the infield had to be covered with a huge tarpaulin, both clubs skipped batting practice, but went through a snappy infield workout, Although there were some SOggY spots around home plate, the infield was in good shape. The outfleld was slippery. There was Briggs stad ball.”
