American Shipping
Makes Big Profits
WASHINGTON, (VP)—Undersec
retary of state William L. Clayton
said today the American shipping
industry “is making unheard of
peacetime profits” and added be
fore a House merchant marine
subcommittee:
1. The high costs of moving
goods from one part of the world
to another is acting as a brake on
world trade.
2. These costs should be reduced.
* 3. Profits to the shipping indus
try have reached unprecedented
levels for peacetime operations.
Clayton asked that Congress
permit the state department to ne
gotiate the return of U. S.-owned
lend lease vesesls now being oper
ated by the British, he said, for
the purchase of 115 Liberty ships
and have promised that all the
vessels they do not buy will be re
turned by mid-1948.
Clayton said the state depart
ment opposes any legislation de
signed to force immediate return
of ships operated by the British.
He estimated the value of the ships
now in possession of the British at
approximately $175,000,000.
MacArtliur Orders
New Eleetion
TOKYO. (/P)—General MacAr
thur took indirect note today of
the increasingly insistent and
widespread opposition to the con
servative government of Premier
Shigeru Yoshida and ordered an
other general election for Japan.
The supreme commander’s edict
was delivered to Yoshida in a po
litely couched letter expressing the
belief that “the time has come for
another election” to “once more
advance the process of democracy
which now governs the state.”
However, there was no doubt
that the “belief” carried the full
weight of the supreme command
er's order.
The letter likewise omitted ref
erence to the political friction
which has made the Yoshida gov
ernment largely ineffective, but it
left scant doubt that the doom of
the ultra-conservative cabinet had
practically been sealed.
Yoshida has been the target of
heavy criticism from all factions
except the ultra-conservatives;
laborites, leftists, middle classes.

Thompson Rilled
Georgia Governor
McDONOUGH, Gu. (^—Super
ior Judge Claude H. Porter ruled
today that Lt. Gov*. M. E. Thomp
son is Georgia’s acting governor
and that Herman Talmadge’s elec
tion by the legislature was invalid.
The decision, handed down at
Rome, Ga„ ordered the state par
don and parole board to turn over
records on budgetary matters to
Thompson. An appeal to the Geor
gia Supreme Court was announced
quickly.
Judge Porter held that the legis
lature could only declare Eugene
Talmadge, Herman’s father, who!
was elected but died before his in
auguration, had received the ma
jority of the general election votes
and that Ellis Arnall held over in
the office until his resignation.
Arnall resigned four days after
the legislature elected the young
er Talmadge. Judge Porter ruled
[ that when he did so Thompson
succeeded to the governorship.
