Completion of the cabinet may take two or three days, Apart from Yoshida, the only holdovers from the previous cabiniet probably will be Tatsuo. Kawai, another liberal called out of getires ment several weeks ago to become information minister, and Educa. tion Minister Tamon Maeda. * It: appeared uncertain whether separate army and navy ministers would be appointed. These portfolios - probably soon will be abolished in line with complete demilitarization of Japan. Shidehara May take over the two posts himself concurrently with the premiership. . Shidehara long has. advocated Chinese-Japanese co-operation and it was expected that he would seek An agreément with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in furtherance of this policy, Bhidehara's visit to Yoshida's residence immediately after his audience with the emperor indi cated that he would rely heavily on the foreign minister for advice : in forming his cabinet and in his later conduct of the government.

TWO-An early effort to improve relations with China, in view of his lifelong belief that Japan and China must co-operate in the interests of both nations, THREE-The most complete possible co-operation with Gen.

The operators, members of the National Federation of Telephone | Workers, assembled “in nationwide mass meetings to protest a national labor relations board ruling that the union's Kearny, N.

Henry Mayer, N, PF. T. W. attorney, disclosed today that “an average wage increase of 30 per cent will be demanded gerierally at the time the strike vote is taken.

Johnson had blocked Ickes’ policies at every turn by writing limitations into the appropriations bill, denying funds. Johnson accepted the judgeship but never resigned from congress to take it.
