MacARTHUR'S

"SUGGESTION" TAKEN

AS DIRECTIVE

New Public Service Laws

Tokyo, July 27.-The Japanese Cabinet has announced it considers General MacArthur's suggestion to rewrite the nation's public service laws as nothing less than an order and is expected to notify employees immediately that they have no right to strike.

Last Friday, General MacArthur sent a personal letter to Japanese Pre- mier Hitoshi Ashida, suggesting that Japan's public service laws be reformed. and expressing the view that government employees have no right to strike.

The cabinet announced that since it considers General MacArthur's letter as a directive, all recommendations made in the 'letter will be ́enacted into law as soon as possible.

Transjordan To Be Paid Subsidy

London, July 27.-While Arab leaders in the Lo banon said Arabs were ready to resume fighting in the Holy Land unless the principle of stopping Jewish immigration to Palestine was accepted, Britain has de cided to hand over to Transjordan the quarterly instal- withhold ment of the British subsidy, which has been because of the Palestine truce.

The quarterly Instalment, which is being paid to Transjordan, amounts to £500,000. It was withheld after falling due on July 12, because the Holy Land question was still before the Security Council.

FINLAND SEEKS NEW PREMIER

Helsinki, July 27-Finland's President, M. Juho Paasikivi, is seeking a new Premier now that the general elections are safely over and the old Cabinet has resigned.
