PURGED REDS
MacArthur originally ordered the purge of these nine Red leaders, in common with an other 15 Party members, from "all public and political activity for "abuses of the liberties granted all Japanese by the new
war.
The
traditional

The police heard that the nine recalled to duty under a more pleasant and democratic- sound- had attended a purged Reds secret meeting at a hot springs ing title, have pointed but that inn to discuss new and more the original and cardinal error aggressive anti-American policy.
(All Japanese intrigues, whether

or
assassins, Shintoists or Kagawa-1 style Christians," are invariably and traditionally plotted at hot springs inns);
If, as Mencken says, brass bands mus. be abolished before war can be abolished, then hot springs inns must be abolished before Japanese political intrigue can be abolished.
Summoned by the police to answer the charge of illegal conference, the nine Reds simply and magically vanished.

It is designed to bear nder extremes of temperature -particularly cold.
Carilloy derives its strength from સ comparatively large number of alloying elements which are readily available.
Engineers claimed that it almost doubles the strength of high strength, low alloy steels;, it can be made in standard open hearth furnaces.
It is easily welded, yet pos- seases almost triple the strength of normal welding grade steels. Carilloy took the laboritory Tore than four years to deve Lap.Reuber.

TIN MÄRKET
London, Nov. 6. by Tin prices jumped higher in the morning session today. The turnover was 130 tons, in- cluding 95 tons for spot.
The solution to the mystery is still not in sight, but may come with crashing surprise. Why should Nozaka did Tokuda, who enjoy the dual distinction of having been purged MacArthur and criticised by Moscow, disappear from the Japanese Scene while the enigmatic Shiga, suffering only the displeasure of MacArthur, remains brooding on public view apparently excluded from the roorganisation talks? And what has happened to the other missing seven?
