McGAL UHL. i there were none to be seen Monday evening. We slipped out of our shoes at the door, struggled Into sandals and were i scorted tmough a series of corridors in a beautiful paneled building. A sliding panel opened, and we entered a private room. Joking at our clumsy efforts, we squatted on the floor, legs crossed, around a low table. My first impression was '•this place is cold." One of the innumerable pretty maidens straight out of the Mikado, who kept serving food and drink all evening, recognized the shiver. She brought a hitbatchi, a round pot filled with live charcoal, and indicated I should warm my hands over it. I did, but I still was cold. Another hibatchi was placed on my other side "blink the .saki,” suggester Norm Nicholson, 'it’s warming.” By the time the food was prepared the chill began to fade, though I was I a Ver quite oomfbrtable. The dinner was deluxe: both tempura, and fried shrimp dish, and sukiyaki, a combination of beef noodles and bamboo. Folks that know say it would be equivalent to having both a steak and lobster dinner in an American res-

taurant.

Interspersed with the food, the saki and the Japanese beer was our own private floor show. At one juncture early in the meal, a panel door was slid back, opening up another room about the size of the one we were in. One of the maidens proceeded to give us a recital on a string instrument. We applauded, mostly to

jeti.iig under way in a modest manner when the Korean war began. When our light tanks proved no match for the Russian tanks, the military drew upon its salvaged stook for 32 medium tanks to ship to Korea. Since then a great flock of trucks, halftracs, ambulances and other equipment has gone forward. £n addition, the equipment that lakes a severe beating on the rough Korean roads and becomes unserviceable by mechanics in the field is sent back to Japan for rebuilding. That's called "Operation Snap Back.” Some tanks have been rebuilt as many as four times since the Korean war started The program is eronomically feasible because we were able to use Japanese facilities, such as the former naval base at Oppama, outside Yokohama, where among other items the 'Zero" fighter was designed and built, and a big arsenal in north Tokyo, originally established by the Japanese in 1869 to make incendiary arrows and subsequently inor modern weapons of destruction. Time and again, a military man would exclaim, ‘‘Without these facilities we’d been kicked out of Korea." The program was feasible because we were able to use thousands of machine tools, Japanese, German, Swiss and Amei - ican made available under reparation payments. These "reparation tools” are us modern as many found in Detroit plants, though not of the latest type found in high production operations. And finally the program is

At Ed Talbert's request, one of the dainty maidens who spoke a fair amount of English, proceeded to do the coal miner’s song, which consisted of incomprehensible words and a series of jabs with the right foot on an imaginary shovel anil rhythmic shoveliiig strokes over the left shoulder. When Talbert asked for the bill, the meal and entertainment amounted to about

$8 a piece.

After Hapoen, we left the Japanese world and remained almost continuously in one run by Americans. It’s an impressive world, dominated by the military. It’s a decidedly practical world, from the standpoint of our national security. We learned about it—walHJng endies* miles through ordnance depots, arsenals, warehouse.- machine shops, docks. We spent three days at it, and it was so taxing, that little energy was left for anything else. Briefly summarized, the U.S. military is engaged in a $3 billion program of rebuilding automotive and combat vehicles. Some 60,000 motor vehicles have been torn completely down, and 48,000 have been rebuilt for useful service. Most of this equipment was rotting in the jungles the swamps ami the hills of Okinawa, Saipan, Guam, the Philippines, New Guinea, the Marshall Islands and other islands of the Pacific. It was left when the pressure to bring the boys hack home in 1945 produced an exodus of personnel. Several years before the Korean outbreak, the military undertook a program called "Operation Roll Back," aimed at bringing tanks, trucks, jeeps, tires, guns, ammunition, spare parts and other items back to Japan for recon-

ese workmen employed in the If. S. rebluilding program averag

PITTSBURGH, Pa May 1 — (U)P Pickets marched around the nation’s closed steel mills today and officials of other industries viewed with concern their dwindling stockpiles of the vital metal. Industries depending on steel for their operation said that imless the strike by 650,000 CIO steelworkers ends without delay, thousands of their workers would have to be furloughed. The sprawling automobile industry, which uses one-fifth of the nation's styel production of .'MiOOOO ingot tons daily, would be hardest hit if the strike was prolonged. The work stoppage, which started late Tuesday on orders from CIO President Philip Murray, immediately cut off 95 per cent of the nation’s daily steel output.

May 1.—(UP) A violent squall line broke its back against the rugged terrain of north Texas and western Oklahoma last night after buzzing the jittery region with ot least five tornado funnels. Some minor damage was reported from the storms and accompanying rain and hail. But there were no reports of injuries. Tlie storm line petered out early today, weathermen said, apparently eliminating the twister threat. A Texas-Okla-homa circle about 150 miles in diameter had been alerted for storms from mid- afternoon through eaily evening. At Woodward, Oklo., a community partially destroyed by a killing tornado in 1947, residents saw five funnels swirling in the

region of Freedom, Okla. A four-inch rain tumbled down at Snyder, Texas with heavy hailstones. The water flooded the streets above curb level. At Lawton, Okla., hail described as "the size of men’s eggs” broke some neon signs. Wichita Falls, Tex., had n heavy rainstorm which knocked out electric power downtown, blacking out traffic lights and causing a three-hour traffic jam. Some residential Ureas also had power service intertuptions.
