---MacArthur
TOKYO, Oct. 16 f INS)—Gen.
MacArthur announced today that
demobilization of JapaQS seven
million fighting men has been
completed and at the same tirrv'
urged a unified armv-havy-air
command for the United States.
Speaking to the United States
In a four-network hroadrast from
Tokyo the supreme Allied com
mander declared:
“I know of no demobilization
In history, either in war or
peace, by our own or by any
other country, that has been ac
complished »o rapidly or so frlc
tlonlessly.
"Everything military, naval
or air, Is forbidden to Japan.
This ends Its military might
and Its military Influence In in r
ternatlonal affairs.”
Defeat of the Japanese, he said,
was ‘‘not only physically thorough,
but has been equally destructive
of Japanese aptrit.”
The general went on to say
that "the great lesson for the fu
ture is that success in the art of
w’ar depends upon a complete in
tegration of the services.”
“In unity will He military
strength,” he pointed out. "We
cannot win with only hack and
I ends, and no line, however
' strong, can go alone. Victory
will reat with the team.”
(Gen. George C. Kenney, com
mander of the Far East air forces.
I urged establishment of a single
command when he arrived in
Washington last week Other
Tiarters have suggested that M.w -
rthur he named to head such
a command, but MacArthur told
International News Service that
he intends to retire from public
life as soon as his present occu
pation tasks arc finished.)

Jew Charges
Denied by Ike
WASHINGTON. Oct. 16 (INS)
—Gen. Eisenhower, in a report to
President Truman, loday denied
charges that Jewish political
prisoners In Germany now were
living under conditions similar to
those imposed by the Nazis.
Eisenhower’s strongly worded
reply was made public by the
White House. The report was the
result of charges made by Eail
Q. Harrisoh, U. S. representative
on the international governmental
committee on refugees.
In his letter to the President,
dated Oct. 8. Gen. Eisenhower de
clared that Harrison s report gave
—little regard to the problems
faced, the real success attained in
saving the lives of thousands of
Jewish and ohter concentration
camp victims and repatriating
those who could and wished to be
repatriated, and the progress
made in two months to bring
these unfortunates who remained
under our jurisdiction, from the
depths of physical degeneration to
a condition of health and essential
comfort.
Japs Beg for Food
Mob Shouts
Angry Pleas
To Premier
I TOKYO, Oct. 16 (INS)—
Five thousand persons itaged
Tokyo’s first hunger demon
stration today by parading
through the streets to Hibiya
'Park carrying banners pro
| claiming:
f ‘‘Save us from starva
tion.”
After they had formed the New
Japan Working Mass Political
Party at a meeting in the park,
about one thousand of the demon
strators marched to the official
residence of Premier Baron Ki
juro Shidehara.
NO VIOLENCE OFFERED
They stood in front of the
premier’s residence clamoring for
food and waving banners, but no
violence developed and the crowd
dispersed without having received
official recongintion from Shide
hara.
Three hundred other Japanese
demonsrtated outside Gen Mac-
Arthur’s headquarters for abdica
tion of Emperor Hirtohito and
permission to import food to avert
starvation.
The demonstrators sent a dele
gation into supreme headquarters
with a declaration of their aims.
JAP TRUSTS CRUMBLE
j Meanwhile, Japan's huge busi
ness enterprises, facing the threat
of anti-monopoly directives from
Gen. MacArthur, began to crumble
with three concerns that had held
iron-fisted control over the gi
gantic silk industry being the
first to fall.
The powerful silk concerns
started to fold up less than 24
hours after Col. R. C. Kramer,
head of MacArthur’s economic
[and scientific section, predicted
; that Japanese financial moguls
were likely to initiate action to
dissolve the great Zaibatsu trust.
THREE FIRMS DISSOLVED
The Japan Raw Silk Manu
facturing Co., the Japan Silk
Controlling Co. and the Kyoei Silk
Reelors Guild voted their own dis
solution in compliance with a gov
ernment directive issued on orders
from Gen. MacArthur.
As a result of this action, large,
medium and small factories will
be freed of controls and placed on
a competitive basis for the launch
ing of silk exports within three
months. _^___

Helen Budnik, were in Lansing for a lie detector test today
while authorities retraced their movements of the past week
and delved into their love affair to find clues in the Oakland

But it was covered with dirt. The
ax and specimens of dirt from the
spot where Mrs. Thompson’s body
was found were taken to Lansing
for analysis at state police head
quarters.
TRIANGLE IS BARED
Both Thompson and Mrs. Bud
nik. wife of an army dental of
ficer, denied any knowledge of the
crime. The tragic death of Mrs.
Thompson, however, uncovered
a romance between Thompson and
his attractive ex-secretary.
Before being taken to Lansing
for the lie detector test by state
police, Mrs. Budnik told how
Thompson had refused to stay
away from her.
Mrs. Budnik also told Oakland
County Prosecutor Donald C.
Noggle that Mrs. Thompson had
repeatedly asked her not to see
Thompson.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

said, on one occasion attempted
suicide after surprising Mrs. Bud
nik and Thompson in a hotel. Mrs.
Thompson drank a pint of whisky
and took an overdose of sleeping
tablets In the suicide attempt,
Mrs. Budnik related.
The lie detector test and the
romance between Thompson and
his former secretary, were the
new developments in the murder
case which had its beginning Sat
urday morning when Mrs. Thomp
son’s hacked body was found 18
miles northwest of Pontiac.
Andrew Jurchenko, Mrs. Thomp
son's father, who has been sought
since the murder was uncovered,

The elder Wimmer shouted en

“Hand me up a clgaret.”
Once on the ground, he re
marked:
*’l don’t think I'll go up again
today. My grandfather was a
steeplejack and he always said
it was safer up there herause

your head. I'm beginning to
, wonder.”
