Mirrors May Cure
Shoplift Headache
Cleveland -(DPD- Shoplifting,
a retailing headache in need
of an aspirin, may be cured
with mirrors. .
The mirrors, of a wide
angle view convex design
manufactured by Norman In
dustries, Inc., Chicago, have
been installed in over 300
drug, hardware, grocery and
supermarkets here in recent
months.
Mounted on walls and
counters, the convex mirrors
expose aisles which normally
would be hidden from view of
store personnel. They elimi
nate the privacy which shop
lifters dearly love and need to
operate.
"Since we installed seven
mirrors, pilfering has been
cut at least 15 per cent," said
the manager of one super
market. "And the mirrors
have halted price label
switching."

Br ARNOLD DIBBLE
Tokyo - (DPD - Two years
ago, the United States was in
trouble on its key western
Pacific base of Okinawa and
there was invidious-although
erroneous references to it as
the "Cyprus of the Pacific."
Today, the picture is far
brighter.
Personal income is up; pric
es are virtually stable, the
the gross national product is
rising; savings are increasing;
foreign investors are becom
ing increasingly interested;
the general health and wel
fare are better; and the U.S.
dollar is the coin of the realm.
Many things have happen
ed since the winter of 1957-58
when the then High Commis
sioner, Lt. Gen. James Moore,
felt compelled to dismiss the
leftist mayor of the Okinawan
capital city of Nana only to
see another left-winger elect
ed to succeed him.
Annual Rental Plan
The most important of these
was the introduction of the
dollar currency a year ago and
institution of the annual ren
tal plan rather than lump sum
payments for the use of land.
All of these "changes have
been wrought under a new
team: the new high commis
sioner, graying, personable,
Lt. Gen. Donald P. Booth, and
the new U.S. Civil Adminis
trator of the Ryukyus, Brig.
Gen. John G. Ondrick.
To understand the value to
the United States of Okinawa,
which the U.S. "bought" with
37,000 casualties near the end
of World War II, it must be
realized that it is the only
area in the western Pacific
where the U.S. can operate
without restriction.
If the United States wants
to, it can bring in nuclear
weapons to Okinawa as a so
bering deterrent to Red China
only . 400 miles away - and
presumably - it had done this.
No Consultations
In case of hostilities - big
or small - the United States
can dispose its forces at will
on Okinawa without consult
ing any foreign government.
There is no such ready, vital
mobility anywhere else in
Asia. ;
To preserve today's happier
state of affairs, one thing is
vital: The feeling of the Oki
nawans for return to Japan
(which was given "residual"
sovereignty over the Ryukyus
in the U.S.-Japan peace trea
ty) must be kept under what
one high official termed "man
ageable proportions."
The Okinawans are a peace
able people, but even passive
resistance or stormy political
agitation would greatly ham
per the effectiveness of the
U.S. military establishment
there.
It is to this end that all the
reforms have been dedicated.
But more - not much more
- is needed. American offi
cials have been pleading with
'Congress to pass the bill in
troduced by ReprMelvin Price
(D-Ill.) which would give
about $S million in aid to the
Ryukyuans. This money would
come from the taxes paid by
Americans in the islands.
Drop in Bucket
As foreign aid goes, it would
be a mere drop in the bucket.
But it would enable the United
States to do a great many im
portant things to help its
friends and benefit its wards
-the only outright wards of
the U.S. government in the
world.
It would, for example, en
able school teachers in Oki
nawan schools to make as
much money as their Japan
ese counterparts.
Many other projects just as
important could be launched
if only a steady, though small,
aid income were guaranteed.
There is no doubt that the
849,000 Ryukyuans - 720,000
Bar Bandit Shies

Bartow, Fla. Jt was a real
money saving move when bar

the youth entered, brandish
ing a pair of pistols and or

of them on Okinawa-are bet
ter off than ever before.
Though the Okinawans are
packed 1,478 persons to a
square mile - the most dense
ly populated area in the
world - the health has im
proved to a point where life
expectancy has increased by
20 years in the last genera
tion and a half. Death rates
have dropped dramatically.
The average income-though
still low by world standards
-increased from $174 per year
to $182 per year in 1959; the
gross national product from
$166.7 million to $176 million.
The retail price index, mean
while, has risen only from
93.2 to 93.9 - an increase of
but 710th of one per cent.

Nobel prize winning author
and the prototype of his nov

Although residents were
slow to welcome Lewis back
after publication of "Main

He is buried here beside

months after the dollar cur

from $48 million to $56 mil

More and more foreign in

especially since Ondrick and
his staff have shown signs of
actively working to cut much
of the red tape that previous
ly hampered foreign invest
