to be, Skyrocketing prices have ‘made | this ynofficial capital of the tropical {world among the most expensive |places on the post-war map. The native e clerks in one of Singapore’s. oldest for- “ eign-owned businesses, recently presented t h e management with a budget—showthat they are un- ' able to live on salaries of less than $50 a week. Everything — from. tourists’ grass skirts to Mr. Weller sun helmets—has | quadrupled in price, and is. still | scarce, | . In one famous, but seedy, Singa{pore hotel an American naval {officer is living in a single room | with his wife and daughter—and { paying $30 daily for board.

Villas Unobtainable The villas, which were once the

| centers of Singapore's social life, |

{are still. theoretically cheap—only about $80 to $100 per month at a pegged price for a five-room house. But, they afe unobtainable because British Ambassador-at-Large Lord. Killearn's. foreign office. mission bss Tequisitioned many of them. From Hongkong “to Soeérabaja, all cities along the China and Java seacoasts are costly and housing is | scarce, | The single exception is Portuguese Macao, whose neutrality attracted thousands of well-to-do refugees during the war and made Macao a sort of Lisbon of the Orient. In Macao, a nine-room, furnished house is now obtainable for $40 a month.

$800 a Month to Live

| Among the hardest hit are young Americans who have been discharged from the services and returned to the Far East as junior executives in trading firms. Their salaries come nowhere near meeting living costs. One company asked its Afiferican juniors to draw up a budget showing the minimum living expenses |for .a man and his wife with no | children. Rent was excluded; also | American income tax, insurance {and savings and furniture costs. The minimum budget came to {$750 monthly, and the company’s | executives found this budget insuf{ficient and added other items, ! bringing the total to around $800.

Jap General Now Peddles Yewelry

+ ‘In December, 1937, Lt. Gen, Ritshei Ogisu, of the imperial Japa. nese army, was riding high at the head of troops which captured Nanking in one of the most horrible orgies of wholesale murder and

other atrocities in modern times.

Today, he peddles cheap costume

jewelry in a Tokyo street shop. Above, the erstwhile conqueror displays some of his wares to a potential customer,

cided what they should do. In China; governamental practices hostile to. American business have made several establishments unremunerative while, in southeastern Asia, political uncertainty still prevails. The companies generally seem inclined to give the younger executives a cost-of-living allowance, in

ITALIAN STRIKE HALTS BURIALS

Garbage Piles Up, Cigaret Stores Closed.

MILAN, Sept. 12 (U, P.).~There have been no burials in Milan for six ‘ays. No garbage has been collected in the same period and a serious health menace has been created. Police can obtain no warrants to arrest criminals, and there are no court sessions to try ‘criminals. Neither salt nor cigarets, both state monopolies, can be bought, and no taxes can be paid. These are results of the strike of 15,000 government employees in this northern Italian metropolis, demanding 100 per cent pay increases and better enforcement of price controls. The strikes have now spread to all the 28 provinces north of the Po river and to Bari, Taranto, Brindisi and Palermo in southern

9-Year-Old Leads Symphonys But He'd Rather Be Out Playing

By ANITA SCOZZARO United Press Staff Correspondent ROME, Sept. 12.—Pierino Gamba,

9, stands on a specially-built - po-] dium to conduct symphony orches-

‘| tras, but he'd rather stand on his

own two feet and fight the neighborhood kids, i» Pierino 1s less than four feet tall. His thin little body shows signs of wartime undernourishment, but his parents say he likes to battle the other kids on the block and dodge his harmony lessons. To say that Pilerino is a genius might be stretching the word a little—but not much. He has a conductor's repertoire of 21 ‘com-

plex musical scores, is conducting,

and starring in a movie, and fis under contract to a New York impresario for a tour of North and South America and Europe. Only Eight Lessons Plerino has had only eight music lessons in his nine years. The first one came in 1043 at the suggestion of his father, an amateur violinist. When the lessons were interrupted by the allied bombings of Rome and its environs, Pierino's father began teaching him harmony. Progress came quickly. Pierino’s grasp of complicated scores was phenomenal. He didn't have to study. Last March 31 Pierino conducted 40-piece orchestra at the Royal opera , house. The critics were amazed. “An unmistakeably - great talent,” one of them said. “An amazing understanding and memory for complicated scores,” observed another, On June 16 Pierino again conducted at the Royal opera house. This time he faced the regular

better. Music - loving Italians cheered wildly, Their applause res »|portedly topped the ovation given Toscanini in his recent: return to La Scala at Milan,

tour abroad’ has not been set, but those who attend his concerts une doubtedly will hear Wagner, Verdl, Bizet, and Beethoven — coriducted from memory by ‘a shy kid, who would rather be playifig rough and tumble games in the backyard.
