U. S. May Buy Scrap
From Japs, Reversing
Prewar Practice
TOKYO, April 22 (CDN).—Re
versing a prewar practice, the United
States may soon be buying scrap
iron from Japan.
American teams are belatedly
combing ruined factories and navy
yards to see how much scrap Japan
can export and at the same time
sustain its own economy.
A dozen American ouyers have
been in Japan in recent weeks seek
ing scrap from any source to make
up for the world wide shortage.
Here in Tokio the foreign trade
division of SCAP (Supreme Com
mand for the Allied Powers) is anx
ious to list scrap as an export item
but is handicapped by lack of knowl
edge of how much surplus scrap is
on hand.
Won’t Be Reparations.
Unofficial sources say that 3,000,
000 tons of good scrap are lying
in such places as Kure, Japan’s for
mer Pearl Harbor, and Sasebo, ma
jor shipbuilding center.
Apparently there is no thought of
simply hauling away scrap as repara
tions, this being contrary to occupa
tion policy which aims at building up
Japan’s economy as soon as possible.
Japanese steelmakers take a Jaun
diced view of these raids on their
country’s factory and navy yard
scrap. They want to sit on this re
serve for future use.
Steel Output Lew.
In prewar years Japan Imported
approximately 150,000,000 tons of
scrap from the United States an
nually. In 1939, when the country
was feverishly preparing for war,
scrap imports from America totaled
more than 2.000,000 tons.
Japanese steel production, which
reached a peak of more than 7,000,
000 tons in 1943, is now less than
a million tons annually. ,

Girl, 10, Awarded $20,000
For Loss of Leg in Accident
(From. Yesterday’s Last Edition.)

was handed down today in District
Court in favor of Kathleen O’Brien,

Resignation of Pvt. Roberts
(from. Yesterday’s Last Edition.) j

ed the resignation of Policeman;
James E. Roberts, 37, of the 10th;

ignation after it was requested by

heads accept Roberts’ resignation,
Maj. Barrett wrote that Roberts
was arrested by Maryland police

plaint of two women who observed,
him acting suspiciously and follow-;
ling young girls. While there was
