TOKYO W Japan cams out of

It want the United States to help
clear the ground bo Japan can
nourish a population of 83 million.
The task Is herculean. It Is one
of rearranging dollars and yen, raw
materials and manufactured goods,
machines and markets. It Is mag
. nlded by the loss of Japan's once
great market in China,
. It encompasses such tough mat

products, and peaceful develop

Japan and Japan can buy raw ma
terials from them.
Economic leaders here regard
this as necessary because of the
loss of Japan's huge markets on
the China mainland and a growing
resistance In the VS. asalnst Im
portation of Japanese products.
Of a doren Japanese leaders sur
veyed by The Associated Press, not
one suggested that the U.S. lend
money to Japan.
They suggested that the U.S. ex
tend dollar credits to Japan In such
a, way that Japan can maintain
trade with Southeast Asia and still
purchase raw materials from the
United States, which China once
supplied. . .

A Sunday morning fire caused
extensive damage to the newly
remodeled Safeway store on 8tb

The store had been open for
business only two days after being
closed about three weeks while an
extensive remodeling job was going
on. The store had been outfitted
with new and modern fixtures to
make it one of the largest and

Another weekend blaze which
stirred some alarm was neither
damaging or dangerous. It was at
me oia Big Lakes Sox Company

lumber scraps and debris was
being burned.
The fire burned most of Saturday
night, casting a baleful-looking glow
into the sky. and smoked all
through Sunday.

Japanese business leaders say
that once the ball starts rolling it
could create a Southeast Asia
sphere, greater because it would
be healthier than anything ever
envisioned by the late Japanese
militarists.
