Three industrial chiefs with ministerial rank have been dismissed from their jobs and strong party men substituted.

Sept. 14 (U.R) The Communist party failed in its first attempt to set up a popular popu-lar front in Japan but is still trying, try-ing, Gen. Douglas MacArthur said tonight in a report to the War Department. "Any lingering prospect of a united front between the Social Democrats and the Communists was dissipated when the Social Democrats decided to reject Communist Com-munist offers of collaboration," MacArthur said. The Social Democrats may be called upon to form a government! before the end of the year, thc I report said. Leaders of that party i believe the Yoshida cabinet mayj face a crisis in the fall over pro-1 posed cancellation of indemnities; to war industries. MacArthur said the Social! Democrats' rejection of Commu-! nist collaboration was welcomed by some labor organizations. I "A Communist statement on 18; July expressed disappointment and resentment at the Social, Democrats' decision and said thati the Communists would continue their efforts to establish a demo- cratic front." MacArthur reported.' MacArthur said the Japanese people are beginning to regard' their Diet or legislature as the supreme organ of the state instead! of "an impotent debating society." The Japanese food supply prob- lem reached its most critical stage, during July, the period covered; by MacArthur's report. The coal shortage remained the most vital factor retarding Japanese indus-: try. I The government substantially, completed in July its program to! eliminate militaristic and ultra-; nationalist elements from public! office, the report said. The number of petty crimes al-l most doubled between January; and June of 1946, the report saidJ Violence flared between rival groups of black marketeers, but; the Japanese police took action to! halt this. Six persons were killed and 25. injured in gun battles in the' streets among black marketeers.1 Eight war criminals were convicted con-victed at Yokahama on July 24 and sentenced to from two years at hard labor to life imprisonment. imprison-ment. The trial of 27 major .lap war criminals continued. Thc Chinese set up a liaison division to investigate in-vestigate war crimes. The food crisis colored the entire en-tire economic picture, the report said A survey showed the average aver-age food intake per person per day from all sources, including black market, was 1.352 calories a day. The average American consumes about 3,500 calories daily. Plant disease, fertilizer shortages short-ages and adverse weather have hit the Japanese crop harvests severely, the report said. Glen M.
