(P)-General announcement he would accept the Presidency if called by the American people stirred Japan today. Many Japanese jumped to the conclusion that the military leader who has been in charge of the occupation since the surrender would be leaving for home soon. MacArthur put in a full and reg ular day today. Aides said "things will go on in the same old way." Although MacArthur's special statement yesterday said he had plans for leaving Japan, there no was an air of speculation and uncertainty about the future even at his headquarters. A consensus of Japanese men and women questioned on the streets was "we will be awfully sorry if he leaves" and "if leaves who will succeed him?" MacArthur's statement took notice for the first time of the MacArthur-For-President campaign in the United States.

But even so he made no mention of party. The world population increases about 20 million people each year. Transport 65 crossings DEISROTH'S SPOTLIGHT PECIAL TODAY ONE DAY ONLY!
