ing attention to Japanese "cities
of the future."
Tokyo radio, recorded by
United Press, said the Nippon
Times pointed out that "since
enemy air raids are making pos
sible extensive replanning of
Japanese cities, no time should
be lost in seeing to it that this
replanning is done in such a way
as to express most accurately
the true character of Japanese
social ideals."
The Times agreed with Home
Minister Genki Abe that the
"cities of the future" should not
be allowed to have more than
1,000.000 inhabitants. "Simpli
city, restraint, chastity, Deauiy
and appreciation of things"
should stress the Japanese spirit.
And anyway smaller, less con
Bested cities will always "render
possible quicker evacuation'
under air raids, Tokyo added.

Fog-Ridding Device
Being Studied For
City in California
Huntington Beach, Cal. (U.R)
How the English cleared air
ports of fog during the war is
being studied to see whether it
would rid Huntington Beach of
fog, according to William H. Gal
lienne, of the chamber of com
merce. Wartime secrecy has been lift
ed to reveal how British peasoup
fog was burned off the air bases
by means of oil-burner devices
strung along runways like lights,
enabling Allied planes to main
tain round-the-clock bombing of
Germany.
If the oil burners could be
bought and the plan seems feasi
ble, Gallienen proposes to erect
some of the burners to make
Huntington Beach a fog-free city
