Japs Proudest
Army Divisions
Were Wiped Out
TOKYO, Nov. 5—Japan’s proud
est army divisions were wiped out
on the edges of the empire, and
only three first class ones were
available in the late hours of war
to defend the homeland from in
vasion, United States army rec
ords showed.
The arrogant divisions that led
the triumphant Jap march
throughout Asia, were chewed up
or by-passed, and at the end even
the great Kwantung army of
Manchuria, was stripped for Jap
an’s own defense. Fearing Ameri
can invasion, the Japanese allow
ed some vet units, such as the
Ninth Division on Formosa, to sit
out most of the war in threatened
but unassaulted regions.
Introduce Bill To
Control Strikes
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—In a
move he said would curb strikes
and labor disorders, Representa
tive F. Edward Hebert, Louisiana
Democrat, proposed the broaden
ing of anti-trust laws to include
unions and paid union officials.
Hebert said his plans was not
aimed at the rank and file of la
bor, but was intended to apply to
leaders “who provoke such out
rageous strike combinations and
conspiracies in restraint of trade,
which have crippled war-time
manufacturing and are now ob
structing reconversion.
Before World War II, 390,437
Americans had established per
manent homes outside the United
States.

Higher Wages,
Lower Taxes
Bring Inflation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—United
States loans to foreign countries,
or allowing of greater buying
power to our citizens through
higher wages and lower taxes will
aggravate inflationary dangers
unless our production is rationed
where we want it to go, until pro
duction increases, according to
Bernard M. Baruch, adviser of
Presidents and elder statesmen.
In a letter to Representative Al
bert Gore, Tennessee Democrat,
Mr. Baruch said, before we could
decide on the “question of infla
tion, and all other economic prob
lems, domestic and foreign, we
must get the overall picture of
the balance sheet of the country.”
Such an inventory, he said,
should cover these questions:
What are our debts, both those the
public holds in bonds, and what
| is owed to others? How much
| more debt is needed to pay for
terminated war contracts and con
■ tracts still to run? How much will
we need for Bretton Woods,
UNRRA, and foreign loans of ev
ery type?
Mr. Baruch warned that w’hen
we assist other nations, we must
be careful “that this aid is not
used to nationalize their indus
tries against us to destroy our own
competitive system which I think
should be preserved.”

Management And
Labor Must Settle
Differences
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—(/P)—
President Truman told manage
ment and labor they must solve
their differences, because contro
versies “cannot be allowed to stop
United States” in the struggle to
reconvert to peacetime produc
tion.
Addressing the opening session
of labor and management confer
ence of eighteen industrial lead
ers and a like number of organ
ized labor heads, the President!
said the American people don’t;
like industrial strife which retard
ed prosperity “especially after the
solemn promise” of both groups
that they “would cooperate with
their government.” President Tru
man said “I make no effort to fix
the blame.”
Outside a picket line started be
fore the meeting began by some
independent unions whose repre
sentatives are not participating.
Asserting he was anxious to re
move all wartime controls as fast
as possible, President Truman said
labor and management must find
their war resolving differences,
“without stopping production.”
