"The initial occupation of Japan was almost as great a task as a full invasion," he said. "We did not defeat the main Jananese Armv. It remains a threat to our safety until it is demilitarized.

Floyd Meade, Manager COOPER'S MOTOR COMPANY (NASH DISTRIBUTORS) 321 Oak street Phone 912 Buslstess Fights Ban on Retail Price Increases (Continued from Page 1) ings, as disclosed by a retailers' spokesman before the meeting ended, condemned the policy in these words; "During hostilities retailers ac cepted cost absorption as a ne cessary wartime measure with specific asurances that his device would not lie extended beyond a narrow list of low price essential items. "Absorption Is uneconomic, un sound and inequitable. It lias no place in a peacetime competitive economy." Specifically, the committee made these four recommenda tions: 1. Adoption of a "broad and realistic" policy of removing price controls from nonessential goods. 2. Immediate dropping of the so-called "map" maximum aver age price" program. (Tills requires that the average of all price lines handled by some retailers, mainly clothing and textile stores, go no higher than the average of 1943.) 3. Immediate elimination of all pricing methods which are based on average costs of earnings of an entire industry. (Such a method, retailers ar gue, places an unfair profit squeeze on dealers whose selling costs are higher than average.) 4. Economic or profit-making pricing for manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers which "will assure maximum produc tion and distribution." Truman's Order Target The committee further held u nanimousl ythat it was impossible to frame a "practicable, reason able and economic" pricing plan as long as President Truman's ex eeutive order of Aug. 18 re mained unchanged. Mr. Truman's order support ing Bowles' program of making dealers, instead of consumers, stand any increased factory costs said such increase should not be passed on to the public in the form of higher retail prices. About 40 retail spokesmen representing the National Re tail Dry Goods association, National Retail Furniture associ ation, American merchants from many cities attended the meet ing with OPA.

Toys to Be Plentiful Some more developments in the nation's ponderous progress from war to peace: Toys there will be plenty for Christmas, but most of them will be the wartime kind that were in the stores last year. Govern ment officials and industry sources predicted only the barest handful of tricycles and metal wagons. Men not working Robert C. Goodwin, head of the V. S. em nlovment service, said nearly 2, 000,000 war workers have lost their jobs since Japan surrend ered. Men not fighting -the Navy, now 3,389,000 strong, announced it will be down to 550,000 in one year. That means 2.839,000 will be released. (They will need jobs.) Used Car Prices Drop The National Automobile Deal er1; association said the future flood of new autos has caused the first downward break in the price of used cars. Most of them now are selling below price ceilings. The decrease so far is about $25 a car, on the average. On new cars, the OPA an nounced a price formula by which manufacturers can figure their own nrices. OPA Chief Bowles said that generally speaking any increases over 1942 ceiling prices are "most unlikely." Civilian chicken-eaters could re joice today because: Poultry raisers of nine leading chicken stales were told thev no longer need to set aside their chickens for the miiltary. As a result, an Agriculture de partment spokesman said plenty of chickens for American dinner tables will be available "very soon." And he meant plentv. A leading poultry firm said all in dications point to a surplus in the near future. Biaqer Stocks Allowed Meantime the dropping of war time controls continued. The Agriculture department lifted its restrictions on the pro duction and sale of citrus fruits both fresh and canned. But price ceilings remain. The WPB began allowing firms to stock up on certain materials. Thev can pile up such things as aluminum, cork, sand, gravel, and pipe fittings, because those things aren't scarce now. But strict con trols will be kept on building up stocks of scarce materials to pre vent a scramble for them which might result in soaring prices.

"The bill," he said, "is very specific in directing both the president and the Congress to utilize all other means at the disposal of the government in an effort to keep the stream of pri vate consumption and investment expenditures at the full employ ment level before resorting to the use of government financial re sources. "It must be recognized, how ever, that these other methods will not always be sufficiently effective or sufficiently quick acting to prevent a deflationary spiral from getting under way. Under such circumstances, it is only the assurance that the gov ernment will use its financial oower to prevent shrinking mar kets that will induce business to continue to produce full employ ment tnvpl." Occupation by Spearhead Given Polite Reception (Continued from Page 1) brought to Atsugl airfield, 20 miles from the Inmerial palace, in 48 transports. One transport crashed In t lie takeoff from Oki nawa, killing 20.

Badger, aboard the cruiser San Diego, moved into Tokvo bay at the head of 10 warships spearhead ing allied fleets involved in the occupation. As Badger steamed cautiously through the mine swept and gun-lined entrance to the bay. Admiral Nimitz an nounced that every Pacific fleet lorce will be Involved in landing occupation units In the enemy's broken empire and patrolling conquered waters. Jap Remnants Lined Up Powerful units of Admiral Hal sey's Third fleet lay at anchor In Sagami bay or rode at sea nearby, backing up Badger's task force, which is paving the way for landings at the Yokosuka naval base and three guardian Islands by 10,000 marines and bluejackets. Fleet dispatches said they would start going ashore to morrow. Twenty-eight of the 55 Japa nese ships wiuen survived me at tacks of these combined fleets and air and submarine forces were reported lined up at the Sasebo naval base of Southern Japan ready to surrender. Most of them were destroyers or sub marines. Two other Nipponese submarines were brought Into the u. s. tleet ancnorago in hag ami bay by American prize crews. The Japanese apparently had complied implicitly with orders to remove breech blocks from tne 116 major caliber guns along the green and foreboding shore. In Sagami bay thev had followed instructions to the point where even the customary fishing craft were pulled up at the docks. 1 he commander of the lormer axis submarine base at Penang on the approaches to Singapore was bluntly told today to meet British naval officers at sea with full details of minefields in the area as a preliminary to surren der discussions. Sullen Japanese Sign Three sullen Japanese yester day signed preliminary surren der arrangements for all of the Mikado's forces in Southeast Asia and the Dutch East Indies. They were told to clear the way for immediate British occupation of Malaya and Its Singapoi s naval base. Occupation of the Indies was to follow the Sept. 2 signing ot lormal surrender pa pers aboard the battleship Mis souri in Tokyo bay. Gen.

Tokyo also asked MacArthur to allow civil ian internees, If they wish, to re main in Japan a nation of cher ry trees, gardens and peace, the Nipponese broadcasts intimated. The radio quoted the influen tial newspaper Asahl Shimbun as calling on Japan to "abolish mili tarism" which it blamed for the country's "miserable defeat."
