Falsies No Good For Japan's Ladies,
Opinion Of Observer From Osaka
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK CP) Sam, a cigar-smoking, saki-drinklng big
wheel from Osaka, thinks one American product has only a limited
future in Japan.
The product is falsies. .
"If Japanese girl wear European dress," said Sam, "maybe
falsies all right.
"But if she wear kimona no!"
It seems the Japanese feminine ideal is a bumpless silhouette.
"Sam" a nickname he picked
up here is Isamu Saheki. 47,
managing director of the Klnik
Nippon railway, the largest in
dependently owned railroad in
the Orient.
The railroad owns a chain of
hotels, department stores and
theaters, and Saheki is visiting
America to drum up some tou
rist business for the land o f
cherry blossoms.
"Business bad now, better
next spring," he said. "How's
stock market doing?"
We had a long talk with Sam
and the interpreter he leaned on
when his own thoughts exceeded
his English George Alexander,
Tokyo traffic manager for the
Northwest Airlines.
The Japanese Silk association
asked him to find out why Amer
ican women prefer nylon stock
ings, and Sam said:
"I feel that silk stockings are
more flattering to women's legs
than nylon."
Thoroughly broad-minded as
well as keen-eyed, he gestured
with his hands as if outlining a
barrel, and remarked:
"American women beautiful
very shapely. All have originality
in dressing,"
Subway Spawns Idea
Sam made a trip on the sub
way, but it failed to give him
any new ideas on how to sardine
more passengers onto his own
railwav. It alreadv carries from
1.000,000 to 2.000.000 commuters
daily. He does plan, however, to
put on some cute girl hostesses.
They"ll peddle tea.
A big league baseball game i
rove his bieeest thrill of the tour
to Sam, who has the yen to buy j
a team for himself sometime. He
was disappointed at the small
crowd only about 40.000.
"In Japan big game draw 100,
000" he said.
The thing that Impressed him
most was that the crowd got up
voluntarily at the sound of the
National Anthem "nobody had
' to give order" and he w a t
amazed at the lack of shoving.
"Here one individual doesn't
Impose upon another," he said
pravelv.
It must be pointed out here
that Sam didn't see tne suoway
in the rush hours.
Mors Respect For Women
What did America have that
would be helpful to Japan?
"There lot of very big things
here that wouldn't fit small
country like Japan", Sam mused.
But he thought there was room
for automatic vending machines
including plnballers. And ne I
felt Japan could adopt a higher
respect for women, a thing that
struck him about the United
States.
"In Japan woman walks be
hind," he said.
And what Japanese custom did
he thinks America might follow
to its advantage.
Sam thought and thought
"Well, Japanese men very
patient under bad luck," he said,
and his face became bland and
innocent
"Japanese women very, very
faithful to their menfolks."

Farm Wages Vary
With Prices In
Sugar Cane Belt
By OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press Farm Writer
WASHINGTON IJPt A plan
under which hired workers share
with their employers the ups and
downs of farm product prices 1
taking hold in one segment of
American agriculture.
The plan will be used the sec
ond successive season this year
In setting the wage pattern for
workers harvesting the Louisiana
sugar-cane crop.
If the sugar cane farm operator
gets above a certain price for his
raw sugar his workers get a bo
nus above set wage scales. If
sugar prices drop below a speci
fied level, workers take wage
cut.
Scheme Set Up
This wage scheme was set up
last year by the Agriculture de
partment under authority of sug
ar control legislation. Under this
Thuri., Sept. 22, 1949-Th News-Review, Rotebura, Or. 3
legislation the government pays
subsidies to domestic producers,
aimed primarily at helping them
compete with lower-cost produc
ing areas.
In return for this financial help,
the sugar producer is required
to pay workers not less than a
minimum wage set by the de
partment. The theory is that gov
ernment benefits should be shar
ed between the producer and his
workers.
When the government first en
tered the sugar Industry back In
the depression of the early 30's
it set more or less rigid wae
scales for sugar workers. These
scales were based in large meas
ure on prices and earnings of the
previous season.
Were Out Of Line
Often changing conditions caus
ed wage rates to be out of line
with producer earnings. Some
times they worked to the advant
age of the producer, sometimes to
that of the worker.
Last year the department hit
upon the Idea of the adjustable
wage scale. Reports indicate that
It worked out satisfactorily. Anv
way it will be used again th's
year.
Here is how the plan works: If
the price of raw sugar Is between
$5.60 and $6 for 100 pounds, the
worker gets the so-called "base"
wage rale. That rate Is $3.50 a
day, plus housing, medical atten
tion, garden and similar perqui
sites, for cane cutters.
For each full 10 cents that ths
price of raw sugar is above $6
or below $5.60, wage rates will
increase or decrease 6.5 cent a
day.
If the price of sugar averaged
$6.60 for 100 pounds, the day
wage rate for cutters would ba
increased 39 cents above the base
rate, to $3.89.
Officials believed that this flex,
lble wage principle could add to
agricultural stability if used
more extensively. But they do
not have authority to set It up
elsewhere.
