(International) 450,000 Workers Out Most of the Week; Vast Truck Strike Looms in Midwest. By the Associated Press The nation's strike lines, jammed with around "450,000 workers most the week, showed no indications 1 shrinking today but the government still had hopes of ending some of the major labor disputes. The immediate concern of top ranking federal officials in Washington was to settle the critical walkouts in the soft coal fields in six states and the stoppage of New York longshoremen.

These labor disputes accounted fdr more than one half of the number of workers away from their jobs including more than 200,000 miners. But in Washington, there was little indication that an agreement was near between bituminous operators and John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers union, as they began their second week of conferences. The only report Secretary of La bor Schwellenbach offered after yesterday's session was that the union leaders are "still in the pro cess of arguing" with the operators on the issue of recognition of UMW's foremen's union. Another member of President Truman's cabinet, Secretary of War Patterson, stepped into the labor With Vice Admiral Emory S.

Land, War Shipping Admin istrator, as well as Mayor La Guardia of New York, they urged the 35,000 to 60,000 striking long shoremen in New York to return to their jobs, and end a 13 day walkout. Patterson and Land told AFL Longshoremen Union officials the work stoppage, which has tied up shipping in the world's busiest harbor, has "materially retarded the return of American troops from Europe." A spokesman for the insurgent rank and file committee of the union, whose membership had defied back to work orders by AFL union officials, said it had rejected La Guardia's appeal. But, he said Secretary Patterson and Admiral Land nas been advised that the striker's were ready to meet with Army representatives or shipowners to work out an effective program for'move ment of troopships. Nearly 400 ships have been tied up by the strike and Maj. Gen.

BUENOS AIRES UP) Argentina was virtually without a government today in a political crisis which had exploded into open civil strife in downtown Buenos Aires last night. Gun fighting involving police, nationalists and internationalists kill ed one man and left 3 wounded, including six policemen. After the entire cabinet, with the exception of the Army and Navy Ministers resigned yesterday, the Army announced it had the resignation of President Edelmiro Farrell "for use at any moment." Today the only authority remaining was that of the Army, Navy and the two holdovers from the fallen government, Minister of War Gen. Eduardo J.

Avalos and Min ister of. the Marine Rear Admiral Hector Lima. The police, apparently acting au tonomously for the time being, for bade newspapers to publish news of the street fighting. However, they were permitted to mention the 12 hour wait of thousands of persons in front of the Army club yesterday while generals, admirals, and civil leaders inside debated the future of the country. It was after this debate broke up, without results that the.

firing began. Who began it was uncertain but a its height police fired on the crowd. Individuals in the crowd returned their fire, and a group of unidentified civilians perhaps nationalists aided police by shooting into the massed thousands. The fighting spread to other parts of the city. Horses with empty saddles galloped through the streets and dead horses lay among the wounded on the Plaza before the Army club.

In the city of Santa Fe there was an openly nationalist outbreak when nationalists and labor ministry employes surrounded the newspaper editorial and shouted "Viva Peron." Col. Juan Peron, vice president and strong man in the Farrell government, was over thrown the military in an act which precipitated tne present crisis. Police finality dislodged the demonstrators and permitted distri bution of the newspaper. FOUR KANE IN IN IK HftH OGT.

The doctor situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. Seventeen hundred veterans' doctors are on loan from the army. They'll get discharges soon. Many of these were in the Veterans Administration before the Army nabbed' them, and they probably will return. But others undoubtedly will go into private practice.

No one in the Veterans Admini 1 stration is too optimistic about getting sufficient recruits. The pay isn't too attractive, for one thing. Dentists make $3,640 to $6,020 a year, doctors $3,640 to $8,750. Bradley and Hawley think the answer is to take the hospitals to the larger population centers, where the specialists prefer to practice.

UP) Former President Herbert Hoover said today that this nation's "sure h0W Uie and spiritual world" is the wealth'of'un common men and' women among our people." The last Republican chief execu tive asserted, in an address prepared for the 75th' anniversary cele bration of Wilson College, that "despite this curious cult who erect antagonisms to the uncommon man, I am confident it will not con fuse cur educational institutions" in their development of leaders "in every branch of life from the shop foreman to the president." "Whoever this political common man is, I want him to have all the unique benefits of the American way of life including full opportunity to rise to leadership," Hoover said. "The only, seriously obectionable part of this deification of the common man is the implication that mediocrity is an ideal, that the uncommon man is to be discredited or discarded." He told an assembly of educators and students that "one of the humors of sociology" is that "the most recent phase of the revolution in Russia is a frantic search for the uncommon man." "There is no identity whatever between mediocrity and popular government although that is what many of our bubble blowers are trying to put over on the American people," Hoover went on. "The essence of our American system is that the best are to be selected for public responsibility and public service.

It is also the essence of our economic life, our spiritual life, our educational institutions." CARDINAL MAC RORY OF IRELAND, DIES ARMAGH, Northern Ireland UP) His eminence Joseph Cardinal Mac Rory, archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland, died at 7 a. m. (2 a. EST) today.

TOKYO UP) Japanese Army orders approved cannibalism among Nipponese troops, if they ore tht flesh of Allied dead but they were put to death if they feasted on their fallen comrades. was announced, with documentary evidence, today by the same hitherto secret Ai lied headquarters section which yesterday disclosed the story of an American flier's beheading by a Japanese naval interpreter and announced the identity of the Japanese soldier who chopped off the head of a shackled Australian aviatorv Captured papers of the Japanese Army showed some of its troops were convicted of eating tneir own dead and were The pspeik called this "the worst possible crime against humanity." This was the first official confirmation of cannibalism among Japanese troops, which had been reported sketchily from several fronts during the war. The evidence was found Among thousands of documents about Japanese military operations, person nel1 and atrocities, seized by a U. S.

Army unit whose existance was undisclosed until yesterday. Here is part of an order issued Nov. 18, 1944, to the Japanese 41st Division group: "Furthermore, those who have consumed human flesh (excluding that of the enemy) knowing very well it is human flesh, will be sentenced to death for committing the worst possible crime against humanity, despite the fact that no reference to same is made in the criminal laws (of Japan)." An order issued by Japanese 18t Army headquarters on Dec. 10, 1944, specified that troops could eat the flesh of enemy dead but not that (Continued on. page three) TWO LITTLE BOYS KILLED, MOTHERS SPARED IN CRASH ASHTABULA, Ohio.

Suppose John Jones, released from the armed services, goes to work Monday or any time between now and the end of the year. Does his boss have to withhold taxes from his paycheck? Yes, if he's paid at a rate of income which would be taxable.

For example: an unmarried man without dependents would have tax taken out of his paycheck if he makes as much as $11 a week. Bosses have no choice about this. Under the law they must withhold a certain amount of tax out of every taxable paycheck. This must be done even if it means that the government in 194fi must refund all the tax withheld from a person in 1945. Here's an example: Under the law no pne has to pay taxes if his 1945 income is under $500.

But here's Jones, an unmarried veteran without dependents. He takes a job Monday. That job pays about $1,000 a year, or about $19.25 a week. 'Jfl. the 11 weeks, between Monday and Dec' 31 Jones will earn $211.

That will be his total income from civilian employment in 1945. It might seem since no one making under $500 in 1945 has to pay taxes Jones should have no taxes withheld from total 1945 income of $211. But it doesn't work that The government has supplied all employers with a tax table. They must regularly deduct from every employe's paycheck as much tax as the table calls for. So the tax taken out of Jones' paycheck every week that check is $19.25 will be about $1.80.

At the end of 11 weeks the boss will have taken out of Jones pay cneck a total of about $19.80. But Jones will get that money back. In 1946 he'll have to file a return with the government, showing he should not have been taxed at all. The government will give him back in 1946 the money taken from him in 1945. The reason, as noted, is this: because Jones made less than $500 in 1945 he shouldn't have been taxed.

This may all seem like a lot of extra work for the government. And is. But internal revenue people who collect the taxes i figure this way: It's simpler to collect a tax regularly from paychecks according to the tax table and then make a refund than to lay down special rules and regulations to fit the dif ferent cases which bob up. CHANGE LOCATION FOR DRIVERS' TESTS Announcement was made here to 'day of a change of location for auto moDUe operators examination! which sltifts the scene from the Borough building on Bayard street to the Sub Station of State Police on North Fraley at Poplar street. The change of the location is effective with the next examination to be conducted on November 5.

There is no change contemplated in the procedure of examinations with a regular examiner coming here from Punxsutawney on the first Monday of each month. The next examination date is scheduled for November 5. RECOMMEND PRICE CEILINGS IN HOUSES WASHINGTON UP) Despite reported administration opposition, a strong recommendation for price ceilings on houses is being prepared today by the chiefs of four government agencies. Slated to reach Reconversion Director John W. Snyder early next week, the program calls for: 1.

Ceilings on all new houses. 2. Ceilings on old houses if they have changed hands since January 1, 1943. TOKYO (JP) Premier Shidehara's "crisis" cabinet took its first step today to ward meeting General Mac Arthur's dictate that the Japanese government be made the servant rather than the master of the people. In the face of rank Nipponese liberals, the cabinet in its second extraordinary session in two days, approved for submission to the diet measures granting votes to women and lowering the voting age from 25 to 20 years.

In a move to comply with the Allied Commander's order for freedom of speech and thought, the cabinet dismissed 4,800 political (thought control) police abolished, effective Monday, the 13 year old law under which they had arrested some 60.000 political offenders, mostly left wing liberals. General MacArthur gave his directive for sweeping social and political reforms changes necessitating revision of Japan's constitution for the first time in more than half a century to Shidehara only Thursday, but already one draft of revisions was reported to have been finished. The newspaper Asahi said Prince Fumimaro Konoye, royal career statesman and a recent addition to Emperor Hirohito's innermost circle of advisers, had presented a draft of proposed revisions to the emperor. Sources close to Konoye said his efforts would strengthen the.power of the diet without markedly de creasing the position of the emperor or altering his current status under the constitution. These sources quoted Konoye as saying that Hirohito has been "seriously considering" the possibility of abdication, which has been repeatedly rumored here.

The enfranchisement of women was one of five major points which MacArthur stressed in his directive for social reform, but no mention of lowering the voting age was made then. The news paper Mainichi said that according to a 1942 census there would be 21,600,000 women eligible to vote after the diet ap i proved the two measures, a process necessary to their becoming law. Asahi estimated the lowered voting age would increase the number of male voters from 21,230,000 to 42,920,000. Newspapers predicted that the cabinet's proposed constitutional changes would be completed and submitted to the Privy Council for approval, in time to be presented to the special diet session scheduled for December. While Shidehara's government wrestled with the reform problem, an Allied Headquarters spokesman said that Russian, British and Chinese troops will participate with the Americans in the occupation of of Japan.

HERSHEY, Pa.

CP) Milton S. Hershey, who made a fortune of millions in chocolate and cocoa and gave it away to orphan boys died today in the Hershey hospital in this Central Pennsylvania town he founded in a cornfield in 1903. He was 88. In recent years, Hershey lived quietly in the town which bears his name but continued to take an active part in community affairs. He was one of the guests at the 7.944 National Conference of Gov ernors held at Hershey.

Hershey was born September 13, 1857 near the tract on which he founded a business of making) cocou and five cent chocolate bars. His success was built upon three fail 1 ures. He first sold candy at Phila delphia but went out of business after his horse drawn wagon was wrecked. He next borrowed money to set himself up in carmel making New York and failed again. At ter a similar fate in Chicago he went to Lancaster in 1888 for an other try at carmel making.

Fifteen years later he sold out for $1,000, 000. A childless widower, Hershey. three years after his wife's death in 1915, made "the Orphan Boys of America" his heirs by transferring his chocolate holdings to the Hershey Industrial School for orphan boys he established 1905. The school for boys 4 to 15 years of age has an enrollment of approximately 800. Hershey officials estimated in 1944 the fund had reached $84,000, 000.

Others are anxious because they think the House is dealing too fast with the same bill. Atomic bomb scientists have asked to be heard. Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas (D Calif.) said in a statement that' the House Military committee was "legislating in a spasm of hysteria" because it held only one public hearing on the measure. Another question before the lawmakers today was Pearl Harbor.

The Pearl Harbor investigating committee was back in the news again. It met to decide, on procedure and hear a preliminary report from its lawyer, William D. Mitchell. He has been studying the existing documents in the case. Congress itself did not met tor day.

The Senate, after a slow start on the atomic energy bill, may get going on that measure next week. Here's the situation: No senate committee has begun wbrk on the bill because the senate couldn't agree which committee ought to get it. But today the senate seemed ready to break the deadlock by creating a brand new committee of senators to handle all atomic proposals. This committee will be so important that senators have begun a scramble to get on it. The nine men who are appointed will help to make history.

Just now there are two proposals before the senate, each of which would set up a new nine man group. But they are very different and should not be confused. Here they are: 1. A measure written at the IContinued on page four). Atomic Control Confuses Congress; New Committee Suggested and Most Legislators Scramble to Get On It WASHINGTON UP) This question confronted the nation today: Is Congress going too slow or too fast on atomic energy?

Yingling was elected to the post yesterday May l.OOff teachers from 14 WASHINGTON W) he erans Administration has decided that if the doctors won't go to the veterans hospitals, the hospitals will have to go to the doctors. Which means, an administration official said today, that more and more of its hospitals will be built in or hear the big cities, where it is easier to hire specialists part time. He conceded this will make many members of congress unhappy. In the past some of the liveliest behind the scenes skirmishing the cajiitol has seen has been over the question: what town gets the new hospital? The reason: it has been estimated that a 250 bed veterans hospital may bring in $1,000,000 a year in extra business to a community.

Veterans Administrator Omar N. Bradley and his acting surgean gen eral, Major Paul R. Hawley, are worried because: The Veterans Administration has only 2,327 doctors. It could use another 1,300 right now. Within a couple of years, it will need 5,700 Central Pennsylvania counties.

Other officers elected were N. L. Bartges, Lock Haven, first vice president; Joseph M. Maddox, Al toona, second vice president and M. Sullivan, secretary.
