Including newly-liberated pris

long as 18 years, marched

shouting for the removal of Em

banned all imports to Japan
above amounts necessary to
maintain a minimum living
standard. MacArthur's direc
tive restricted imports to com
modities the Japanese "clear

could not be produced in
Japan.
It came as Minister of Ag
riculture Kemo Matsumara
said in an interviewthat food
riots would increase and the
Japanese be reduced to mak
ing grasshoppers and acorns a
supplementary part of their
diet "to prevent mass starva
tion." Earlier communist speakers at
the party's first rally in 15 years
called for the emperor's removal
and the setting up of a demo
cratic; regime in Japan.
Three hundred singing, shout
ing demonstrators marched down
one of Tokyo's main thorough
fares past Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's headquarters with ban

We want food. Banzai democ

pathizers repeatedly praised com
munism and democracy and call
ed for a "shift of control of the
daily necessities to civilians."
At MacArthur's headquarters
the demonstrators cheered Kyu
ichi Tokuda, founder of the com
munist party in Japan, as he ex
tended thanks for the release of
political prisoners to an officer
representing MacArthur's chief
of staff, Lt. Gen. Richard K.
Sutherland.
Shock to Conservatives
The demonstration was entire

said, but it could have hardly
failed to come as a shock to em

Japanese.
It took place only a few hours
after the release from Fuchu
prison of 16 Japanese and Kor

been in prison cells since their
arrest in raids March 15, 1928,
and April 16, 1929.

Marshall Says U. S. Barely Came
Washington. Oct. 10 (U.R)
Gen. George C. Marshall report
ed today that the United States
barely squeezed through to vic
tory in World War II and should
be ready to mobilize 4,000.000
trained men swiftly in case war
threatens again.
In a biennial report which
doubtless will be his last as chief
of staff. Marshall reviewed the
most difficult war in American
history and offered his recom
mendations for the future. He
advocated:
1. Universal military training
to provide a peace-time citizen
army that can mobilize 4.000.000
trained men in a year at the first
threat to national security.
2. An intensive pogram of sci
entific research and development
to give the U. S. the best
equipped and most modern fight
ing force in the world.

mendations on his own 44 years

Two hundred deputy sheriffs,

Possibility of an end to one

There was no rioting or fight

week obtained a temporary in

The strikers, who earlier this

Asks Bill Passage to
Boost Consumer Power.

The house ways and means com
mittee recommended passagn of
Its $5,350,000,000 tax reduction
bill today "to provide incentives
for business to expand and to
increase consumer purchasing
power."
"Certain expenditures neces
sary after the end of the war,
however, will keep federal reve
nue requirements at a high level
during 1946 if a large deficit is
to be avoided," the committee
said in a report on its bill.
Early Passage Hopa
House leaders planned to
bring the bill before the house
tomorrow and hoped it would
be passed by nightfall.
The ways and means commit
tee said there will bo a "size

tax reductions could be made
now. It suggested that "moder
ate tax relief for all groups

plete elimination of a few war

tively small number of taxpay
ers.
For individual taxpayers the
committee has proposed increas
ing the exemptions from the
three per cent normal tax arid
cutting surtax rates four per
