MacArthur ‘Brutal’
WASHINGTON, UP) — Russia
charged today that Gen. Douglas
MacArthur and the Japanese gov

S. Panyushkin told the 11-nation
Far Eastern commission also that
American policies have brought
the “Japanese economy to a state
of total collapse.”
Panyushkin called on the com
mission to rule that workers in
Japanese government enterprises
may bargain collectively and go
on strike.

government have forbidden strikes
\ on government enterprises.

the Pacific allies but the United

ed the United States has tried "by
all possible means” to keep the
commission from adopting a pol
icy on this issue.
Truman Holds
“Fireside Chat”
WASHINGTON. </Pj—President |
Truman is going to sit down to
night and tell the American people
about his prescription for heading
off a depression.
He wants to get over to them
his idea that there is nothing to be
scared about in the moderate eco
nomic decline unless folks get
panicky.
And he wants to defend the fis
cal policy of his administration
against criticism by some mem
bers of Congress.
The President will talk to the
nation over four major radio net
work and via television from a
desk in the movie projection room
at the White House.
The talk, White House aides
said, will be an elaboration of his
mid-year economic report to Con

radio listeners why he backed
down from his demands for major
I tax increases in favor of raises
only in gift and estate taxes and
New North Star On
Maiden Cruise
SEATTLE. </P>—An ice-scarred
little veteran of the Arctic and
Antarctic turned everything over
to a sleek successor in Seattle
Monday and retired from active
duty.
It was off to the boneyard for
the old wooden motorship North
Star, which for nearly two decades
carried supplies and passengers
for the Alaska Native Service. She
took time out for Antarctic expe
ditions in 1939-1940 and wartime
navy duty.
The 1,435-ton old-timer literal
ly turned “everything” over to
its successor — even the name
“North Star.”
Aboard the new North Star on
her trial run in Puget Sound were
the captain and crew of the old
North Star and in her fuel tanks
was oil from the tanks of the old
North Star.
I The two North Stars got to
repeal of the transportation tax
1 on freight.
