through the regular Japanese
post reach MacArthur's head
quarters each week. Some are
"crank" letters, others praise
him as the savior of Japan.
Many ask for favors and a few
offer constructive criticism and
suggestions that have been in
corporated into his directives.
Letters Examined
But every letter or package Is
examined closely before It
reaches the supreme command
er's desk, as a precaution against
possible attempts on his life.
Most of the fen mail writers
register a calm acceptance of
Japan's utter defeat, but express
a will to build a new and demo
cratic nation.
Some of them are pathetic, a
good many ask for jobs, and vir
tually all are addressed to
"Marshal MacArthur."

Would Keep Hirohlto
Virtually all of the writers re
quested that emperor Hirohito
be retained on the throne, ex
pressing the opinion that his
spiritual leadership would in
sure the support of the people.
One correspondent, who mere
ly signed himself a Japanese
subject." told MacArthur that
the measures taken by American
occupation forces were "in ac
cord with the sentiments of all
intellectual and liberal-minded
Japanese people, who are in
reality applauding the various
directives of general headquar
ters which have urged our irre
solute government to take dras
tic measures to the end of de
mocratising Japan."
Emperor Misled
The writer added that Emper
or Hirohito had been misled by
his cabinet in supporting the
war and "stopped the war when
he learned the truth."
One man asked permission to
keep his hunting rifle, another
accused a neighbor of "war
crimes," and many complained
about the continued freedom of
Japanese bankers. A group of
students protested against the
admission of former army and
navy academy students Into
their schools.

Washington. Nov. 29 U.R
Production of passenger tires
has risen sharply in the past few
weeks but rationing cannot end
immediately, the Office of Price
Administration and Office of
Civilian Production reported to
day. The OPA announced that pas
senger -car tire quota for De
cember will be 2,500,000, the
same as in the past six months.
It said quotas were announced
earlier than usual because of re
ports that some tire dealers
were taking unrationed orders.
The December allotment of
large-size truck tires will re
main unchanged at 250,000 but
the quota of small truck tires
7.50 inches and under will be
cut 50,000 from the November
allotments of 350,000 tires. OPA

been reduced because of the
