Japan Highly Industrialized Nation,
Is Oyer WWII, Former U. S. Airman Says
Japan is over the war (WWII)
and is now a highly industrialized
and prosperous people and na-
tion. This is the observation of
Dalton G. Hobbs III of Pharr, who
arrived back in the United States
last week with his wife Sandy,
after a two year assignment at
Tachikawa Air Base, near Tokyo.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Dee G. Hobbs.
The Japanese are making
everything, and most of it is of
exceptional quality, like cameras,
radios, stereos. Anything pertain-
ing to electronics, they make
well and far cheaper than any
one else because of their low
wage scale, compared to the Uni-
ted States, Hobbs says. They are
of course an export nation and
they sell their products on the
world market, with the U. S. one
of their best customers, if not
their very best.
Japan has also developed its
steel production and at this time
they are making a sizeable dent
in total tonnage sold throughout
the world. And of course, the
price per ton is far less than U.
S. steel.
The Japanese people have a
formation in order to form their
marketing policy which will be
adopted some time during the
first part of .August.

diet of fish and vegetables of
several kinds. They eat very 1'ttle
meat, he said. Since WWII, they
have developed large cold stor-
age facilities where they can
store quantities of food.
Hobbs doubts that Japan will
ever go to war again, unless it
is through some treaty commit-
ment.
Besides traveling around Japan
while there, his most memorable
sight seeing trip was to Bangkok
in Thailand, which was some 6
hours flight time from Japan, via
707 Boeing jet plane. This is a
fabulous city.
One of the habits he develop-
ed in Japan was taking off his
shoes before entering the house.
They do it to keep dirt out of
their houses. “I still take my
shoes off before I even think
about it.”
He returned to the United
States on the 4th of July and
he said that will be one Fourth
of July he will always remember.
His wife Sandy stayed with
him in Japan and she was em-
ployed in the U. S. Civil Service
while there.

tinction”.
“I am very pleased to accept

Downs Is Appointed

to a research committee on Pro-

Downs appointment was made
at the direction of the Internat-

It is perhaps fortunate for
minimizing public uproar that
the poor do not have $5.95
available to buy a book.
* * *
For if they had the price to
buy and read the new book
“Poverty Is Where the Money
Is” by Shirley Scheibla, and
published by Arlington House,
New Rochelle, New York, the
poor would be swarming on
Washington like mad hornets.
* * *
And probably no one could
blame them, as the book gives
a comprehensive insight into
how a vast share of the money
appropriated to aid the poor
get on their feet has been dis-
sipated and siphoned off.
* * *
The author, Shirley Scheibla,
a veteran Washington writer
for both the more prestigious
national and international busi-
ness journals, is Washington ed-
itor for Barron’s
* * *
In a heavily documented vol-
ume there is gathered together
a mass of details which amply
support the contention of many
people that any measures to
help the poor should be on a
local, and not a federal level.
* * *
For the book relates details
on . » scores of five figure jobs
set up, often with unsubstantiat-
ed expense accounts, to help the
poor. Details are given on the
police records of some of the
“officials” employed.
* * *
And perhaps the most inter-
esting part of all is the experi-
© National Federation of Independent Business
ence in setting up Job Corps
centers to train unskilled youth
for useful jobs.
* * *
Federation researchers have
received many reports from in-
dependent businessmen who
have hired job corps graduates
only to find them completely in-
capable. The apparent answer
is in this book.
* * *
Although it is established
competent privately operated
trade schools can train a resi-
dent student at a cost of be-
tween $2300 and $2600 per year,
it is costing the taxpayer via
the War on Poverty $12,000 to
$13,000 per year, and in some
instances up to $24,000. Due to
the high number of drop outs,
at one training center it is stat-
ed that each graduate cost the
taxpayer over $39,000.
* * *
While some of the big cor-
porations took over operation
of these job training centers on
a cost plus basis, receiving 4.7
per cent over costs, with no in-
vestment by the corporation,
the results have been most dis-
mal, the book points out.
* * *
The text of this book gives
both the American taxpayers
and the poor a great deal to get
upset about. Of course, as is
well known, the former gener-
allisimo of the War on Poverty
is now in France.
* * *
But if through some unlikely
circumstance, a large number
of the poor ever read this book,
perhaps France is not far
enough away.
