U.S. Wants Bases
In Japan After
Peace Is Signed
By Earnest Hoborecht
(Uniwd Freaa b.aff Correspondent)
Tokyo LP American mlltary
. men want the United Slates to
retain some bases in Japan after
the peace treaty. Most Japanese
think it wil be done.
"It is .a logical request for a
victorious nation to make of the
vanquished." said a high Japa
nese official. "Japan probably
would have made similar de
' mands, to say the least, if we
had won the war."
A group of 60 Japanese edu
cational leaders are about the
only important Japanese to speak
out against the idea, of the U.S.A.
keeping naval and air bases in
Janan after the occupation is
over.
They want no part of any
body's military machine. They
point out that Japan's new con
stitution renounces war and stip
ulates that Japan shall have no
armed forces. They want Japan
to be neutral and do not want
any nation to have bases here
which throw a doubt on Japan's
complete neutrality.
Part, of Defense Line
The American desire for bases
In Japan stems In part from the
fact that the United States Far
East defense line now runs from
Alaska down through Japan and
Okinawa to the Philippines.
The Americans feel that Japan
is a good base for them and
might be a tempting plum for
some aggressor nation to attempt
to seize, especially since unarmed
.Japan would not be in a good
position to put up a fight.
When most Americans talk
about their desire to keep bases
in Japan, they generally empha
size the benefit that Japan would
derive.
Many Japanese think that is
. an odd stand for the Americans
to take. :
. The Japanese official, who
asked to remain anonymous, put
' It this way:
"The Americans won the war.
They have a right to claim all of
Japan or part of Japan. That has
been the case in many Instances
down through history.. If Japan
had been the victor, Japan would
not have hesitated about keeping
some bases in America.
Question Raised
"While the Japanese may get
protection fiom possible aggres
sors as a result of the United
States Training bases in Japan,
the fact remains that the United
States wants bases here for rea
sons of American security, not
Japanese security. Why don't the
Americans admit that? Why must
they try to cover up their real
meaning?"
If the United States does retain
bases in Japan after the peace
treaty is signed, thn U.S. nn"v
without question will want to hold
on to the Tiaval base at Yoko
suka. Thai was a big Japanese
naval base and since the war it
has been' one of the best U.S.
bases in' the western Pacific.
Aside from the areas that the
ground forces might want to
keep, In Japan, the U.S. air force
would want to keep half a dozen
or more of the big air buses.
Mlsawa air base In northern Hon
shu has been constructed since
the end of the war to meet Ameri
can requirements. It and others
like it are desirable from the
U.S. air force point of view.
Japanese premier Shleeru Yo.
shlda has mentioned In public
that he would be In favnr of the
United States maintaining some
bases here. Many Japanese who
lau in tne "man-ln-tho-strcet"
class have expressed the same
opinion.
The subject Is certain to bp
discussed more and more here
In Japan during the next few
months. American officials are
watching closely to see how the
masses react to the Idea.
TOWN WANTS ITS DOl (ill
Westerly, It.I. HI''-. This town
Is more persistent than an Insur
ance agent. The town paid $4,000

P. P. &L Stock
Sale Planned
By Owners
Portland, Feb. 21 1U1 Pacific
Power & Light company com
mon stock will be offered for
sale here in six to nine months,
officials of the eastern group
that recently purchased the stock
announced Monday.
J. Douglas Casey, president of
A. C. Allyn & Co., Inc., and Don
ald C. Lillis, partner in Baer,
Stearns & Co., made known their
companies' plans for disposal of
the stock here today.
, The two- companies recently
purchased the P. P. & L. common
stock for approximately $16,000,
000. While they said the plan was
to dispose of the stock in six to
nine months, Casey qualified the
statement slightly. ,
"That s our plan, he said, ui
course, market conditions could
become adverse."
Must Be Sold
Casey said that under securi
ties and exchange commission
rules the group "can't own it for
ever," but must sell the stock
within two years.
"We're as anxious as anyone
to complete this Job as fast as
possible," umes saiu.
Casev said he thinks the stock
Is worth more than the $16,000,-
000 the two eastern groups paid
American Power Light com
pany for It.
"We'll find out when we try
In sell it." he said.
American Power & Light was
former parent company of P.P.
& L.
Lillis said there were no plans
for merging P.P. & L. with Port
land General Electric company.
He also SDlked reports that the
new owners might sell some of
P.P. & L.'s properties before re
selling the stock.
"I don't think there's any
chance of that at the present
time," Lillis said. "We feel this
lends itself to a public distribu
tion of stock."
No Property Sales
Lillis had been quoted earlier
this month at an SEC hearing In
Washington, D.C., as saying the
buying group ijilght "cause Paci
fic to sell some of-its properties"
before 'reselling the stock.
Lillis described acquisition of
P.P. & L. stock as "routine." He
said his firm did the same thing
with Northwestern Public her-
vice company and then resold the
stock. He said stock in the lat
ter firm now is "100 per cent
owned by the public."
. Lillis and Casev conferred with
staff members and Portland di
rectors of P.P. & L. Monday after
noon. They plan to visit Astoria,
"Seaside and Cannon Beach today;
Bonneville dam, The Dalles and
Hood River, Werinesdav; tne
Merwln dam, Olympia, Tacoma
and 'Yakima In Washington
Thursday; Walla Walla, Wash,
Saturday. From wnna wana
they will go to Pendleton.
UNION "IN BAD"
Washington, Feb. 21 till The

communist party line.
The veterans administration
dlsacredlted the union last Fri

State department officials said
the UPW never had more than 60

have dropped In the last two
years. It ordered all personnel
"not to enter Into negotiations of
any kind with this union."

Jet Planes Used
In Arctic Areas
Donjek River, Y.T., Feb. 21 Ui
One of the most significant mili
tary developments in the far
north in the last 17 months has
been the readying of the Jet fight
er plane for combat in extreme
cold.
In the F-80 Shooting Star, the
U.S. air force has a Jet plane
winch can take olf in the sub
Arctic at a moment's notice lor
interception missions or to cover
lanu, sea or air movements.
It is doubtful if any other na
tion can make tnat claim lor a
Jet plane, but wmle not up to
tne r-ao, the Royal Canadian air
toices vampire jet figmers have
been faring surprisingly wen Mi
current Lanauian-mt:rican win
ter wui gamc3.
Maneuver umpires report that,
of 20 F-80s assigned to tne "al
lied force," approximately 100 per
cent were in flying condition
uauy lor the llrst tour days and
in) per cent on tne liith oay. Ol
U vampires, 90 per cent were
servicuaoie uauy until tne liith
oay wnen tne rate dropped to
50 per cent.
F-80's have fiown 68 sorties,
counting by single pianes, and
Vampires 31. iv0's have per
formed on 24 missions, compared
with 12 for the Vampires.
' Present serviceaoiuiy rates of
the Shooting Stars are In maikeu
contrast witn 4nosc prevailing
when the Jets first were stationer
in the lar norm. Shortly alter
the 57th lighter group, timcndorl
air force uase ai Anchorage, re
ceived F-80s In September, 1948,
the entire group of 75 planes was
able to rat-K up only 200 flying
hours in 30 days. .
Tne group's both fighter squad
ron, winch is participating in the
present maneuvers, managed to
do 100 of those hours with its
15 F-80's. The same squadron in
December, 1949, had so mastered
Arctic problems that it was able
to fly 400 hours. Even then it
was 200 to 300 hours under what
it could have done had it not
been restricted on fuel expendi
tures. MaJ. Taras T. Popovich, Cleve
land, O., commander of the 66th,
said Shooting Stars burned kero
sene, or NP-1, when first sta
tioned In Alaska. Water crystals
formed In this crude fuel, he
said, and engines had to be pre
heated. Short notice take of Is
were next to impossible.
So 100-octane gasoline was sub
stituted, Popovicn said, and half
the troubles were eliminated. Pre
heating was no longer necessary.
In tue current "Lxercise Sweet
briar," the F-80's stationed at
Whitehorse start their engines
and climb aloft instantly when
warning of a mock "enemy" at
tack is received. The kerosene
burning Vampires, however, have
to have their engines pre-heated.
Gas is expensive, however, and
it cuts range 10 per cent. So now
two squadrons of F-80's at El
mendorf are burning JP-3, a mix
ture of kerosene and gas, which
requires the engine to be pre
heated but only when the tem
perature is 25 degrees below or
lower.
Popovich, a veteran flyer at
30, was stationed at Elmondorf
in June, 19-18, and is enthusiastic
about Arctic flying. He enlisted
In the air force at 19, . went
through mechanics school and
then through flying cadet school.
He was an instructor in advanced
fighter tactics from 1941 to 1945.
'lhcn he went overseas as assist
ant director of operations for the
13th air force.

Jury Selection
Still Under Way
In Mercy Trial
Manchester, N. H.; Feb. 21 U"
Dr. Hermann N. Sander's mercy
murder trial adjourned for lunch
today with one fewer jurors on
the panel than there were at. the
end of yesterday's opening ses
sion. '
The second day of the 41-year-old
general practitioner's first-degree
murder trial opened with
a one-hour 15-minute conference
in superior judge Harold E. Wes
cott's chambers. This resulted in
the removal of the ninth juror,
who had been selected just be
fore court adjourned yesterday.
The elimination was made on
a motion of Atty. Gen, William
U Phinney.
During the luncheon recess,
Phinney said:
"The state received information
which caused it to believe that
juror Alfred Baines should not
sit and the matter was taken up
with the court and he was chal
lenged." No Season Given
When Phinney was pressed for
the exact reason for seeking re
moval of the 72-year-old retired
Manchester Gas Company work
er, he said:
"No, I don't feel I can give it
either off or on the record."
His only other comment on the
removal was that the state s ac
tion resulted from a development
last night.
Dr. Sander Is charged with
murdering Mrs. Abble C. Borro
to, 59, a Manchester housewife,
as she lay dying of cancer in a
hospital last Dec. 4.
'ine state charges the doctor
deliberately injected 40 cubic
centimeters of air into her veins
in an attempt to "kill and mur
der her."
Five veniremen were question
ed and excused during the morn
ing session of tne second day.
Hie court excused four for cause
and the defense challenged one.
At the noon, recess a total of
45 veniremen had been examined.
The court had excused 23, the
state had challenged five, the
defense nine, and eight had been
selected. .

America has come a long way since that dark Christmas night in
1776 when Washington led his brave though weary men across
the storm-swept Delaware and on to victory at Trenton.
During those Revolutionary days, men needed courage and vision
to believe that the dream of a free America would some day be
realized. . '
Freedom has come to America individual freedom and economic
freedom together with real security. New power, new machines
plus constantly increased skill have meant abundance until today
our way of life provides the highest standard of living ever en
joyed by any people.
Our American system is more productive, more promising, more
challenging than any economic system the world has ever known.
With even better teamwork, America's future... and yours... is
unlimited.
