TOKYO KB—An aroused Japa

w o soend toxpaye-s’ money for
gey parties with geisha girls.
Mounting public anuer over the
situation disturbed the thriving
poi'ha bouses that provide the per
fumed beauties.
"Too much democracy.” one
owner grumbled.
Prime Mini-tor Shieeru Yoshida
took a different tack. He demanded

Newspapers obliged immediately
They print“d lists of guests at the
better known “houses of joy”. They
offered photographs of government
cars paoVod outbid"

One bigshpt, confronted with a
photo of his car outside a well
known geisha establishment, said:
"I wasn't there. My chauffeur
stopped off on an errand.”
So Tar, no action has been taken
to halt the practice. The costs of
the gay evenings are chalked up
oh public expense accounts.
.Some officials explain that if a
friend entertains them with public
funds, they reciprocate in kind.
Otherwise, they say. the costs of
the entertainment would be pro
hibitive.
Manufacturers were also accused
of misusing company funds on
geisha parties. Small stockholders
complained they pay for the eve
ning's out of money that should go
for dividends.
One - manufacturer had a ready
reply.
“If I use the money for ‘ex
penses',” he said, “I save the com
pany lots we would have to pay
otherwise in high taxes.”
But what aroused most public
Indignation was a report govern

of the budget control sec

TROOPS AGAIN ALERTED
FOR FARM EMERGENCY
BY PATRICIA WIGGINS
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON ilß—Government
planners are turning- again to the
military to assure an adequate lab
or supply on ths nation's farms
during the current need for all-out
agricultural production.
Just as in World War 11, t?i“y
have taken steps smoothing the
way for service men to pitch in
should an emergency arise that
would cripple farm output. The
action comes after months of dis
cussion between the departments of
Agriculture, Labor and Defense.
The defense establishment has

ment to Army post commanders:
“When circumstances arise in
which military personnel can fur
ther the national Interest by en
gaging in part-time employment in
essential activities while on' paw,
leave, or while off duty, local com
manders are authorized, to permit
such employment.”
PROCESSING INCLUDED
The authorization covers em
ployment not only on farms but
in processing—including canning,
freezing and dehydration—refriger
ation, and packing of fresh agricul
tural commodities.
Defense planners spell out the
conditions that must govern use of

dustry. An emergency need must
exist. Significant loss, deterioration
or production stoppage which can
not be averted by existing civilian
labor supplies must be Imminent.
A spokesman said that by no
means do the instructions to past
commanders mean that farmers are
to rely on • servicemen for future
crop help.
“It is merely a simple precau
tion in case a critical need arises," I
he said.
Up to now, no service men have
been called in. During World War
11. whole units of the Army ans
wered calls for help, chiefly in the
early war y«-ars.

30 days each in the fall of 1943 in

Such past complications point up
