TWO HERALD AND MEWS LIST OF 10 BE ISSUED (Continued from Pago One) , two days, for printing inflamma: tory articles. - - The sources who spoke of Im pending cabinet resignations said Vice Prince Fumimaro Kon oye probably would lead the list. He is a minister without port folio. Two other cabinet mem bers without portfolio who may step down at the same time, the sources said, are Lt. Gen. Tosh ishiro Obata. and Taketora Ogata. The latter, who also is chief cabinet secretary, was named bv MacArthur on a list of members of the "Black -Dragon" society, but it was under stood American auuiormes nan taken no action against him, In order to give the Japanese gov ernment time to prove its con tention that he was not a mem ber. The Japanese predicting the cabinet resignations said a "wide Ban" existed between Premier Prince Higashi-Kuni and the three they expected to leave the government. They described Higashi-Kuni as personally Interested in "the gradual democratization of Ja pan, both as a reform step and in compliance with the wishes of General MacArthur, and said Konoye and the others had op posed the premier's attempts to smooth relations between the Japanese and American govern ments. The cabinet has been critt cized by the Japanese press for delay In solving pressing prob lems sucn as iooa and nousing shortages and increasing unem ployment The resignation two days ago of Mamoru bhisemitsu as foreign minister was the tipoff that all was not well within the cabinet, the Japanese sources said.

They were obviously of the bet ter class women of CULTURE as opposed to what we have come to know as German KUL TUR. They were undergoing obvious mental suffering. Finally the mother turned abruptly to the soldier and said, with some ef fort: "If you will give me a pack age of cigarettes and a candy bar, you may spend tonight with my daughter." CORDIDT Cheap? Disgusting? " Yes, such things usually are sordid and cheap and disgusting. But these days stark tragedy is stalking Western Europe. Life here, for millions, is down to the raw. Down to fundamentals. And a package of cigarettes and a candy bar are MORE than mere luxuries here. They can be BARTERED for simple foods in considerable quantities. And it is being said grimly and rather often around here that in a lot of Europe women are about all that is left to barter. a ANYWAY, the American sol dier declined the proffered exchange but GAVE the cig arettes and the candy bar. You're hearing a lot of cynical and salacious tales about what Amer ican soldiers are doing over here. A few of them, yes. But re member that the American army is a cross section of American life. American life includes a lot of GOOD along with some that is bad. - The majority of our soldiers here are on the ALL RIGHT side. Jap Calls On Eichelberger TOKYO, Sept. 19 (ZP) Lt. Gen. Robert - L. Eichelberger, commander of the U. S. 8th army, today received an official call from Gen. Kenji Doihara, new commander of the first Japanese general army.

Snell Statement Governor Earl Suell today said, "The policy of the state police department has always been to furnish assistance to local officials when requested. The sheriff of Klamath county by telegram requested that a few state policemen be assigned to the Klamath area as a pre cautionary measure." "There is some disagreement and misunderstanding as be tween CIO and AFL unions at tached to the lumber Industry in the Klamath area. It was in dicated Tuesday night that it was entirely possible that an under standing would be reached Wed nesday morning." The governor refused to show newsmen a copy of Sheriff Low's telegram, saying the sher iff had requested that it not be given to the press. Meanwhile a special concilia tion commission, encouraged by preliminary attempts to settle a threatened strike among north west lumber workers, met again in Portland this morning with operators. E. P. Marsh, chairman of the commission appointed by the secretary of labor, said both labor and management had shown in preliminary meetings "a sincere desire to reach a set tlement." Met YesUrday The commission met yester day with over 200 representa tives of operators and leaders of the AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers union the, largest group Marsh, regional director of the U. S. conciliation service, had ever witnessed at such a session. The AFL policy committee spokesman, John M. Christenson, told the commission the "quick action of the secretary of labor averted a strike at the moment.'.' The 60,000 AFL workers have approved a strike in support of their demand for a $1.10 hourly minimum. "This industry has spent the past few years waiting months and even years for de cisions, Christenson said, "and in every case the delay has in jured the interests of the work ing people." Settlement Asked '. The AFL declared that only an industry-wide settlement cot individual plant wage in creases would be satisfactory. The commission held first a joint meeting, then separate sessions with labor and management last night. Meanwhile, the CIO Inter national Woodworkers of Amer ica prepared tobegin counting strike ballots from 36,000 mem bers, in support of a 25-cent-an-hour flat wage increase now be ing negotiated. D. N.

Spokesman for both firms, Clemens gave out copies of a telegram sent the west coast lumber commission in reply to its "request" telegram last week, and also a letter sent the union in reference to the same subject.
