Politics rushed back. Predietions of tax cuts buzzed around. There was even a shot of energy from the atomic bomb. . President - Truman’s message caused a lot of the heat. So did the coming investigation of Pearl Harbor. ' That investigation now is certain to be held. The President swung behind it yesterday and. the Senate unanimously yoted for it. The House will vote for it, too, but House Republicans today were de manding equal membership with Democrats on the investigating committee. ; At the same time, some republi cans were saying Mr, Truman’s big message logk;ad like ta cam aign document for ?ﬁt year’s Slections. They called it “the same old new deal.” * But many Demoecrats rejoiced over what they saw as he liberal ism of the President’s peacetime program. i ' Congress was not meeting today, and wouldn’t be until Monday. But that didn’t mean congressmen were doing and saying nothing. Tax talk received a shot in the arm ffrom the President’s sug gestion for “limited” reductions in 1946 . J Walter George, of Georgia, most influential tax man in the Senate, said he believes the President was talking about tax ecuts for individuals as well as eorporations. George himself predicted five bil lion dollars would be whacked off federal taxes next year — both business and personal taxes.

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD Full Associated Press Service. Athens, Ga., Friday September 7, 1945 Parade To Mark Entry Into Tokyo EXPROPRIATION OF EUROPEAN LANDS CONTINUES BY DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Quietly, but with that inevita bility which characterized the Fgiropean politico-social upheaval, expropriation and redistribtution of the rolling acres of the landed gentry is proceeding in the eastern and central part of the continent. . With the comings and -goihgs of that section of Europe more or less sub rosa, few details have been available. We know there ‘has been extensive expropriation of the properties of the feudal barons of Poland. There are in dications that similar changes are going forward in Hungary, the Balkans and East Prussia. : Now comes news the tide has reached - western Europe. This is in,Saxony, Russian-occupied Ger many, where large landed estates are being broken up and turned over to the small tillers of the soil. There seems no reason to be-\ lieve that the program won’t spread to other parts of Germany.! l The reform in Poland has been sweeping. The Polish press agency, which is the 'official medium of the provisional government of Poland, says that by the end of last April 7, 269,053 acres of land had been parceled out to 269,899 families. As a concrete illustration of what is happening, it is said that the 6,000 acres estate of Count Alfred Potocki has been distribut ed among 1,050, peasant families. Without attempting to- draw sweeping conclusions from these expropriations, it is an important commentary that much of the wealth of the Prussian war lords has come from great feudal estates which have been in the sanmie families for generations. Thus it is obvious that some of the strong est roots of German militarism are being torn up in this manner. *Of course, mere ownership of many acres doesn’t make a man a rascal. It's true, however, that in numerous parts of Europe there still exists a feudalism which at one and the same time has kept land from the peasant and has waxed fat from the sweat of farm laborers, irtm many instances these nilies of serfs ‘been at generations, unable to break away and set up farming for themselves, even though untold thousands of acres were set aside by the barons, for deer shooting and the like. I I've seen a small army of peasant girls digging with shovels on a great estate in Bulgaria, and have | had the wealthy landowner telll me with a laugh that he paid them only fifteen cenfs a day each, with a spot of food at noon.

Services will be held at the Temple of the Congregation of Children of Isreal at eight o'clock tonight, and {en o’clack tomorrow morning. The Temple is on the corner of Jackson and Hancock streets. - . The Jewish New Year intro duces a season known as the High Holy Days, coinprising ten days devoted to earnest seif judgement thoughtful medita tion and the umustering .of the will to a better life. Both Rosh Hashonoh, the beginning of this period, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, with which the period culminates, are par ticularly dedicated to prayer, in trospection, and the life- of the spirit. Physical labcr in all its forms is forbidden ‘on these days, therefo-e, so that Jewas may be free to concentrale all their energies on reflection and wor ship. : RIDING ON JAPANESE RAILROAD IS BIG ADVENTURE AT PRESENT BY HAL BOYLE YOKOHAMA — (AP) — Let’s’ go for a - rafivoads ride — it’s about the biggest adventure you can have now in Japan under present restrictions. | " It's like going for a jaunt dur ing rush hours on the Manhattan. to Brooklyn subway that had been pumped up to street level.

S. date), it was learned today. A Domei broadcast said he would arrive at 11 a. m. (10 p. m,, today, EWT). The battle-equipped Seventh and Eighth Regiments of the First Cavalry Division will march through the bomb-shattered capital ¢ity of surrendered Japan—the first such march of a conqueror there in Japan’s long history. An honor guard from the Seventh Regiment—the regiment which fought under Custer on the Little Bighorn—will escort Mac- Arthur from the Tokyo railroad station in the Marunouchi busi ness quarter, east of the balance grounds, to the American embassy, The embassy is approximately three miles southwest of the Marunouchi district. ~ The white-leggined First Cav alry band will blare martial music as the supreme commander of the Allied powers motors past down town buildings to the embassy, there to raise the same American flag which flew over the White House in Washington, D. C., Dec. 7, 1941, the day that “will live in infamy.” Domei, Japanese news agency, said the first troops would enter the city at 6 a. m., tomorrow (5 p. m., Friday Eastern War Time). MacArthur is leading 15,000 troops into Tokyo. With occupation forces already holding strategic points from the southern tip of Kyushu to Tokyo, in central Honshu, negotiations were under way for the American Navy to take over a Japanese base on the extreme north tip of Honshu. Plans 'call for occupational forces to move into Sendai, 190 miles north of Tokye, ‘Naiigata}, 160 miles northwest, and Aomori, across Mutsu Bay from Ominato, jwifhin the next two weeks.

ROOSEVELT'S SHADOW STANDS BEHIND TRUMAN SUGGESTIONS : BY JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, Sept. 7—(#)—The shadow of President Roosevelt stood behind a majority of the 21 suggestions President Truman made to Congress in his broad peacetime message. .- Some people—on the alert for signs of a Truman swing to the left or over to the conservatives—integpret the message as showing a real left turning. ; An analysis of the 21 sugges tions shows, o Mr. Rol -in the back ground of 13, diréctly or indirect ly.

Here are the ones new with Mr. Truman: ‘ 1. Higher unemployment pay for jobless workers. There is no nat%onal uniform rate of pay for jobless people. Mr. Truman want ed the pay raised uniformly in all states to a maximum of at least $25 for 26 weeks. | 2.

Airlines To Begin Flights Over North Atlantic BY JAMES J. STEBIG Associated Press Aviation Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. T—(&P)— Three American- airlines probably will be able to begin commercial flights over the North Atlantic in six to eight weeks. They have been assigned the necessary four engine planes from military sur pluses. First operations, however, will ‘be over only parts of the rouées they have been certified to fly. The reason much remains to be done in obtaining landing and transit rights in foreign countries. Briefly, here is the picture: All three lings—Pan American Airways, American Export Air lines and Transcontinental and Western Air—may fly to Eire by way of Newfoundland. This is be cause the United States has transit rights in Newfoundland and full landing rights in Eire. Beyond that the situation varies greatly. Pan Am and AMEX may make a limited number of flights to London under a wartime agree ment subject to cancellation on six months’ notice. In addition, under a permanent -agreement, Pan American may make two round trips weekly to London. The AMEX route runs to the Netherlands, where this country has commercial rights; to Berlin, where we should be able to land; to ~c.jﬁ ‘.v.,:,’;-\- ‘, o ‘J;"\»‘ Ma' o Icela and Sw : re agreeme:!!&"’ ‘have been obfzn ; and to Denmark and Norway, where prospects are good. Pan American has rights in Portugal and to Marseille, France, ‘but negotiations must be complet ed with Belgium, Czechoslovakia. Austria, Hungary, Romania, Tur key, Iran and India. TWA’s route goes to Newfound land and Foynes, Eire; then to Paris, where negotiations remain to be completed; to Switzerland, where ‘'we have landing rights; Rome, where an interim agree ment should be easy; to Greece, Egypt, Palestine, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, in all of which negotia tions must be completed. For other segments of the TWA route, ne gotiations will be necessary in Portugal and French North Africa. The planes awarded by an in ter-departmental board yesterday to the three lines—eight to Pan Am and six each to AMEX and TWA-—are a type known as C-54E, They already are equipped with plush seats and are readily con vertible to commercial tuse. Even so, at least 30 days will be needed td get them ready. -’ernment to purchase and store away stockpiles of strategic ma -|terials for national defense. - Here are the two suggestions {which Mr. Truman, Mr. Roose | velt or anyone else would have {been likely to make if he were | president: | ‘ 1. Continuance of power to re tain some wartime controls—llike ’controls over prices and rationing ‘———till the country gets on its feet. 1 2. Permanent and wide authority ,!to reorganize the federal agencies {and.cut out some, cut down the size of others. But here—in the following 13 suggestions by Mr. Truman—is where the Rooseveltian influence shows: ! 1. Passage of a “full employ ment” bill. When it was intro |duced under that title last January, Mr. Roosevelt was for it in prin ciple. 2. Creation of a Fair Employ ment ‘Practice Committee to re |place the temporary wartime | FEPC. | 3. A law strengthening the De partment of Labor. l 4. Continuance of the U. S. Em ployment Service as a national agency, at least temporarily. Mr. Roosevelt wanted a national em | ployment service permanently. 5. Stronger macHinery for con tinuing to give farmers federal support for their prices. | 6. Low rent housing with federal help should be resumed.
