TOKYO, Aug. 27— The fate of 5,000 employees of Japan’s ten motion picture companies and also that o f 20,000 workers of 2,466 movie houses including usherettes is believed in balance of the gov­ ernment’s plan for a drastic con­ solidation of motion picture indus­ try.
Well-informed circles said that the former is likely to be reduced to a thousand or fifteen hundred with salaries of big stars substan­ tially cut because their appearan­ ces will be limited by a projected decree limiting the production to four films per month. I t is recalled that the government announced a new structure for films last week to cope with increasing shortage of raw film.
GOOD M ANNER S A N D POLITENESS
In a recent artic le which appeared in a Tokyo newspaper, the N ise is now res id ing in Japan w ere advised to return hom e to A m erica unless th ey observe the Japanese w ays o f l i fe and behave them selves. The Japanese are exced ingly par­ ticu lar concerning manners. T h ey o ften complain o f the N i­ seis fo r lack o f courtesy or manners. Perhaps, the N ise is ap­ pear to them im prudent because they are boisterous and out­ spoken. The Japanese are reserved and modest.
Th ere are, how ever, instances w here Japanese and A m ­ erican manners d if fe r and the N ise is are placed under an em ­ barrassing situation. F o r instance, when a Japanese m eet or p a rt from th e ir fr iend s they g ree t or bid fa rew e ll w ith a po lite bow ; whereas, th e Am ericans shake hands. I t does m ake no d ifference, as fa r as courtesy is concerned, w hether you bow o r shake hands, but the N ise is would hesita te as to w heth er he should undertake a bow or a hand shake. There is an old saying, “ W hen in Rom e do as the Rom ans.” But in the instant case th e N ise is m ust do the bow ing as Japanese, a lthough th ey are in Am erica , fo r the Japanese would p re fe r a bow to a hand shake unless th ey a re w ell Am ericanized . W h en ever there is a doubt as to w hether a person is Chinese o r Japanese, or Issei o r N isei, i t is advisable fo r the N iseis to m ake a deep po lite bow and speak in Japanese. I f the other p a rty cannot speak English , he-would talk w ith you in his own language, but i f the o ther p a rty recognizes you he would speak in English . Th is w ill avoid rudeness and show po lite­ ness to certain extent.
A ga in , a certain Japanese author w ro te in his book that, when he was tra ve lin g in A m erica on train, a certain Japa­ nese boy was in th e same Pullm an Car which he occupied; th a t th ey saw each o th er but the boy did not show any cour­ tesy w hatsoever; and la ter he found out that th is boy came from H aw aii. H e b luntly concluded that the Japanese raised in H aw aii are ill-mannered. E viden tly , the boy couldn’t speak Japanese or i f he could have spoken, his language was not good, and the Japanese author couldn’t speak English . The Japanese author g ives us an im pression tha t the boy should have shown some sign o f courtesies, at least, by in troducing h im se lf o r b y say ing “ H e llo ” or by m aking a bow. I t seems, how ever, the boy had no ob ligation to show courtesy be­ cause th ey w ere a ltogeth er strangers to each other. I t was noit necessary fo r the boy to introduce h im self any m ore than the Japanese author, fo r the la tte r could have in tro ­ duced h im self i f he so desired. Th e fa c t that th ey saw each o th er in th e Pullm an car would m ake no d ifference. I t was incum bent on both parties to approach h a lf w ay. But the po in t is this. Th e Japanese notion o f politeness is that the younger person must f ir s t introduce h im self to the elder, or the in fe r io r person should observe courtesy tow ard the su­ perior. In dem ocratic A m erica , how ever, th ere is no such distinction. A s fa r as the m anner is concerned, there is no in fer io r-o r superior. E qu a lity should be the rule. In fact, m ost o f the tim es, the superior stretches out his arm f ir s t to re ­ ceive the in ferior. There in lies the d ifference.
W e o ften hear a N ise i boy o r g ir l say, “ I cannot g e t a- long w ith old fo lks.” Th e N iseis t r y to keep aw ay from the elders because th ey are not p ro fic ien t in Japanese language, th ey are asked to use it.
I t is said tha t noth ing is eve r lost through politeness. I t is, there fore , advisable to be po lite w henever occasion de­ mands.
W e should develop a sp ir it o f courtesy in our communi­ ty as the Sam urais developed a code o f honour. W e should observe courtesy tow ard the superiors and even between close friends. Good manners fo r the g ir ls and politeness fo r the boys should be taught at home. W hen ever th ey speak bad E nglish o r Japanese th ey should be corrected im m ed iate ly by the parents.
L e t the children control th e ir tem per, or koraeru. Too much o f heated argum ents and th rea ten ing languages are detrim en ta l to social order. “ Naranu kannin suruga kannin,” o r to fo rg iv e that which cannot be fo rg iven , is forg iveness. .

PLASTICS FIELD TO BE WIDENED A L B A N Y , Cal,, Aug. (U P ) —
In the new $2,000,000 Western Re­ gional Research Laboratory, ap­ proximately 50 technicians are conducting experiments from whi­ ch it is hoped a new method for producing plastics and artificial fiber from agricultural surplus products w ill be developed.
The scientists even expect to produce waterproof glue and con­ centrated food from such products as chicken feathers, alfalfa, wheat and potatoes.
R. H, Nagel, technical assistant, said medicine will come in for its share o f attention with anticipated experiments on chicken heads for glandular extracts.
Exemplary of the program are the a lfa lfa experiments. A lfalfa,
Nagel said, is made up of two ma­ jor components— pigments and proteins.
Pigments will be studied in an effort to divert them to use as pharmaceuticals and as soap-color­ ing. Protein studies will be carried on to try to isolate protein, native or altered, and to determine its composition.
The experiments are being con­ ducted in 30 newly equipped rooms. Eventually, when all the 96 rooms are prepared, it is expected several hundred civil service workers will be stationed at the laboratory.
Surplus products have been ga­ thered in several states and are being held in cold storage, await­ ing shipment to the plant as they are needed.

TOKYO D A IL Y BRANDS AC ­ T IO N BR IT ISH TY P E OF
IM PE R IA L IS M
TOKYO, Aug. 27 — The Asahi editorially attacked British inva­ sion o f Iran as “ an open and pub­ lic infringement o f neutrality of smaller and weaker country and a bad manifestation of imperialism.” The Asahi said that the fact that Iran has been endeavoring strenu­ ously to preserve the neutrality, continued plots of British in Iran, who outnumbers the Germans, make reasons advanced in the jus­ tification of the invasion as “ just excuses.” '
British Type Imperialism The paper pointed out the con­
tradiction between Roosevelt and Churchill’s expressions o f desire for peace and invasion o f Iran. “Such thick-skinned brazenness can only be described as another manifestation of British type o f imperialism,” the paper asserted, adding that Iran in the past had been the fighting ground between the Soviet and British. I t said that Iran had managed to survive in the past due to the balance of the two nations’ power but now since they’ve joined forces the fate of Iran seems sealed.
Reasons for Invasion The paper advanced as principle
reasons o f the Soviet-British in­ vasion, firstly, the collaboration between the two armies, secondly, the creation o f supply route to the Soviet, thirdly, the desire to get oil, fourthly, the establishment of advance bases for protection of India on Britain’s side and the pro­ tection o f Caucasus on Soviet’s side.
The Asahi suggested the fourth strengthens the possibility of the two nations’ remaining in Iran In­ definitely “ smothering its indepen­ dence” but in concluding, the A- sahi declared that the move, on the other hand, instead of slowing upGerman advance into Russia, as hoped, will only stimulate Germa­ ny to speed up its drive.

ij\axi ON A HIGFTHORSE bn JOSEPH CHADWICK
Rhea Charters and her grand­ father, Major Stephen Charters, who live on their ancestral estate
! near the little town of Marches- ! ter, are in financial difficulties. ; Rhea’s irresponsible b r o t h e r Dick, arriving home after a long
j absence, is merely an additional problem. The family lawyer has written to a man named Carra- dine who owes the Major a large Kum of money, but Carradine has replied that he can’t pay his debt. Instead, he sends his son Jim to Charters Manor to lend
' a hand. Rhea, who can’t see how ! this will help, takes an antagon­ istic attitude toward Jim. He, in turn, calls her a snob and ac­ cuses her of disliking him be­ cause he isn’t a “gentleman.” De­ spite their quarrels. Rhea finds herself unwillingly attracted to him. Then, on the morning after his arrival, she’s startled when Philip Canning calls to see her grandfather. He’s a rich young man with whom she was in love fonr years ago, but who went away and married another girl. She learns he has been divorced and has returned to Marchester. She wonders what this will mean to her.
CHAPTER XIII IJHEA was still standing in ^ front of the house, when Ithe saw Jim coming up the ^iveway. He was evidently re­ turning from a v;alk.
He was bare-headed and, as he *ame striding toward her, she Iraught herself reflecting how hand­ some he was. Even handsomer than |»hilip. There was a difference, though. Philip was a gentleman, Jim wasn’t . .. .
Remembering how angry he had inade her the night before, she ^eeted him coolly.
“ Good morning. You’re out early.” “ Early? It ’s ten o’clock,” he told
her. “ I suppose it seems early to me
because I overslept. Which reminds toe that I haven’t had breakfast.”
She entered the house with him, then left him and went back to the hitchen.
“ I ’m sorry to be late, Marthy,” fc e told buxom Mrs. Gregg, the housekeeper and cook. “ I ’ll forage for myself.” • “ There’s a glass of orange juice In the refrigerator.”
Rhea found the tall, chilled glass, Khen stood looking at the other con­ sents of the refrigerator.
“M y! What a lot of meat!” she observed. “ The butcher must be Ei\dng us credit again.”
“ The Major settled with him, PCiss Rhea.”
“ Oh, that’s right— I ’d forgotten.” I “ 1 decided to .stock up,” the housekeeper continued. “W ith two young men in the house, we’ve got to have steaks and roasts. Of course, Mr, Richard doesn’t eat like he Bhould, but that Mr. Carradine toust have a man’s appetite.”
“ What makes you think that?” asked Rhea.
“ It took good eating to put those Shoulders on him. He’s a fine-look­ ing youmg man. I ’ll bet there’s many a girl that has lost her heart to him. I said so to myself when I was talk­ ing to him this morning.”
“ Oh— so you’ve been talking to him?”
“ Yes, and a right sociable young toan he is, too.”
“ Everyone seems to like him,” Rhea murmured, with a shrug.
She made herself some toa.st and
Ecrambled eggs, then sat down at he kitchen table to eat. Through a
window, she saw her grandfather totting out across the fields, a heavy walking stick in his hand. He was headed in the direction of the ten­ ant farmer’s house. Then, she saw her brother drive away in his car. Off again, she thought. He couldn’t stay home for two minutes.
WHEN she returned to the fore­ part of the house, Gregg was at
the door, talking to a deliveryman Who had an armful of packages.
The butler turned to Rhea. “ I t ’s Borne C.O.D. things from the de­ partment store. Miss. The man (wants twenty-two dollars.”
“ Oh, yes,” said Rhea, “ They’re Bome things I bought yesterday. I ’ll iget the money.”
She went upstairs to her rooir and found her purse. When she opened it, however, she received a jolt. There had been a little ovei ninety dollars in it, but now the money was gone.
For an instant, she was bewil­ dered. Then, she realized where i1 had gone. Dick, of course! It was just like him! Needing money, he had calmly helped himself to all the cash she had, without asking her—
Now, she must go downstairs and tell that deliveryman that she could not pay him. Where did you find the courage to humble yourself before a deliveryman?
It was several minutes before she turned and walked slowly from hei room.
When she reached the lower hall she was surprised to find that the man was no longer at the door, ana that the packages were neatly stacked on the table beneath the tall gilt mirror.
Then, Gregg appeared and ex­ plained. “ The fellow grew impa­ tient, Miss, and started pounding or the door. Mr. Carradine heard him and came and paid him.”
“Mr. Carradine paid him?” “ Yes, Miss.” Rhea’s lips thinned. Why could
not Jim Carradine mind his own business? Now she was in an even worse position. Though it would have been hard enough to explain things to the deliveryman, it was unbearable to have to tell Jim that she couldn’t repay the money he had advanced.
SHE walked into the living room where she found Jim reading.
“ I ’ll give you that twenty-twc dollars as soon as my grandfather returns to open the safe, Mr. Car­ radine,” she said coldly.
“ Oh, that’s all right.” “ No— it isn’t all right. There was
no need for you to concern yourself with the matter at all.”
Jim raised his brows. “ I ’m sorry you are offended. I meant no harm. The deliveryman was in a hurry and so I paid him off. I f you haven’t the money handy at the moment, it doesn’t matter.”
Rhea’s cheeks flamed. He prob­ ably guessed that she wouldn’t have it even when her grandfather re­ turned— that there was no money in the hou.se. Well, wasn’t that hi.s father’s fault in a way? I f his father had paid what he owed hei grandfather, this situation never would have arisen.
He seemed to read her thought,'?. “ Just deduct the twenty-two dollars from the ninety thousand that my father owes the Major,” he said, with a smile.
“ No— I don’t do things that way,” Rhea said flatly. “ I ’ll make you out an lOU.”
She went to the desk, took a piece of paper and wrote on it, “ Tc James Carradine. lOU twenty-twc dollars.” She signed it and handed it to him.
“ Okay,” he said, “ but I wish you would get it out of your pretty he.ad that I ’m something to be stepped on. I ’m not the worm that you seem to think I am.”
Rhea was silent a moment. Then, she blurted, “Mr. Carra-
dline, I wish you’d leave here! You can’t help us, and this thing you’re trying to do to me ” She broke ofl’.
“ What am I trying to do to you?” he asked quietly,
“ You never miss an opportunity to take me down a peg,” IXhea rushed on. “ You think I ’m proud— too proud— and you seem to be try­ ing to break my pride! You’ve nc right to come here and treat me the way you have! I didn’t ask you tc come!”
“ You’ve got me wrong,” he said slowly. “ I admire pride in people— but I hate false pride.”
Rhea stared at him furiously. She had a sudden impulse to slap him but she knew it would only gratify him to see her— Rhea Charters— act like a fishwife.
She swung round, crossed the room, and swept through the French windows that opened onto the garden.

W hether w e like it or not, our interests have been thrown in with the interests o f Europe, A sia , South A m er ica and A fr ica . And our nation ’ s leaders a re try ing to envision a L eagu e o f Nations, stronger than anything dream ed o f in the past, which a fter the w ar w ill lead a ll countries to w ork together under a governm en t o f the w orld.
It m ay not be in the life t im e o f any o f us now liv in g that such a solution w ill becom e an actuality . But it is good food fo r dream s. The trouble is that w ars, w h ile they breed friendships betw een a llies, at the sam e tim e
' deepen the enm ity between those fighting one another. W hen Orson W elles frigh tened thousands o f people w ith
his rad io dram atization o f an invasion b y the people o f the p lanet M ars, he perhaps hinted at the solution. I f the w orld had a com m on enem y— an enem y that dem anded the uniting o f a ll nations on the globe to d efea t it— that would bring about the w orld so lidarity being sought.
But perhaps som e day w e can agree that w a r itse lf is the enem y of the whole w orld and unite in a crusade o f all nations to d rive it from the fa ce o f the earth.

N E W Y O R K , A u g. 27 (U P )_ M i l t o n Berle, the trade pa­ per columnist, reports that the public taste in hum or is changing and th a t the tempo o f the tim es is b r in g back The Joke— not the long-w inded jok e o f yore but a p ithy, punchy, socko sentence that whips up a gust o f laughter.
Berle is perhaps b e tte r known as a stage, screen and rad io comedian, and as one o f the keenest students o f w hat m akes people laugh in the country his columning is s tr ic tly a g ra tis sideline. One o f the h ighest paid perfo rm ers in all three mediums, B erle is young enough to sh ift w ith the tim es and old enough to w ant to reta in his lucrative status. Thus his words bear w eigh t.
Back from H ollyw ood to make a personal appearance on B roadway, Berle said he was being guided in the selection o f m ateria l by the new trend. H e thinks it m ay be due to the in­ creased tension o f liv in g under current world conditions. Or i t m igh t ju s t be that the re ign ing fo rm o f fun “ situation hu­ m or” has run its course.
P U N C H W IT H IN JO K E Berle describes situation humor as som eth ing funny not
because o f its e lf but because o f the surrounding circum stan­ ces. A joke, carries its punch w ith in itself. I t must be self- contained.
“ Unless,” Berle said, “ you study gags and hum or you probably never stop to wonder w hy som eth ing made you laugh. F o r a decade now you ’ve been laugh ing at situation hu­ mor. A good exam ple is Jack Benny. Benny builds h im self up as a m iser then he tells the Quiz K ids the.v w on ’t have to pay fo r s tay in g at his house. ‘But w e w ere there tw o weeks,’ one kid replies. ‘Tw o weeks and a day,’ Jack snaps. N ow that d rew a how l even i f it doesn’t look humorous in cold type.
“ People w ill laugh a t s tu ff oil the tim e,” Berle continued. “ W h a t happened, how ever, was that they go t tired o f the o th er hum or— the jokes. I th ink the reason was that we w ere go in g in fo r s to ry tellers instead o f the im pact kind o f humor. A com ic would te ll a long-w inded yarn w ith an authentically fu n ny punch. But it took f iv e m inutes to fin ish . A laugh ev ­ e ry f iv e m inutes isn ’t in keeping w ith the times,
BO B H O P E C IT E D “ So situation hum or was king. But I th ink its re ign is
threatened. Take Bob Hope. H e te lls jokes. H e tells them r ig h t and th ey h it home w ith d rive and bounce. H e doesn’t w aste words. F rom now on you ’ll hear m ore s tu ff l ik e :
“ Th e w ea th er in C a lifo rn ia is so wet, the C iv il A e ro A u ­ th o r ity grounded the swallows f ly in g back to Capistrano.
“ M arlene D ietrich started som eth ing w ith slacks. The o th er day I kissed m y m other and it was m y brother.
“ O liv ia D e H avilland is busy kn ittin g socks fo r J im m y S tew art. A n d S tew art is busy kn ittin g sw eaters fo r Lana Turner.
“ I am not presen ting those as the best o f th e ir type. But th ey ’re p re tty near the b lueprint fo r the next fe w years.

GRAND COUIEE GETS COOUNG G R A N D C O U LE E , W ash., A u g. 26 (U P ) E ngineers at
Grand Coulee Dam, W ash., have done in f iv e years w hat m i­ gh t have taken nature a century to do cool 10,250,000 cubic yards o f concrete.
New ly-p laced concrete produces heat which, unless dissi­ pated, causes expansion and contraction which can easily re ­ sult in serious dam age to a structure. A t Grand Coulee, the danger was obviated by circu lating cold r iv e r w a te r through steel tub ing imbedded in the dam.
The job requ ired tw o la rge pump barges, 2,000 m iles o f pipe, 2 m iles o f 3 1-2-foot inspection shafts, nearly six m iles o f o th er ga lleries and sha fts all a t a cost estim ated at $1,- 400,000.
T h e pum ping system reduced concrete tem peratures frOm as h igh as 132 degrees to the un iform required tem pe­ ra tu re o f 45 degrees.
I t required 60 to 90 days o fco ldw ater circulation to cool the concrete in each section as block a fte r block was pyra ­ m ided until the dam reached its fu ll h e igh t o f 550 fee t.
Engineers estim ate that through ord inary radiation the cooling would have taken a century.
The tw o bargest— one w ith six pumps, the o ther w ith f iv e — pumped cold w a te r out o f the Colum bia river, circu lat­ in g it day and n igh t at the ra te o f fo u r gallons a m inute through each o f the thin-walled one-inch pipes.
M ake ’em laugh but m ake ’em laugh quick. T h a t ’s w hat peo­ ple w ant now. Th ey don’t w ant to w a it fo r humor. I t w ill be tougher on the comedians, but the rew ard w ill be la rg e r fo r those who can produce.”

Defense Orders delay City’s Modern Transit
S A LT LA K E C ITY, Utah (U P ) — Salt Lake City residents, w'ho celebrated when old street cars made their “ last run” and were
I placed in “permanent” retirement, believe President Roosevelt’s state­ ment that “everyone must sacri-
I fice” for national defense was aim­ ed directly at them.
For nearly three-quarters of a [century they bounced and jiggled as the street cars rattled over city
'Streets. In May of this year street I cars were ordered removed to be replaced by streamlined buses.
I There was one hitch to the plan, i however. National defense orders I received priority over the buses I and the transit company announc­ ed the street cars again may be placed in service next September when schools re-open and summer vacationists return.

N E W Y O R K , A u g. 27 (U P )— M adison Square Garden, which has housed every th in g from a Bund ra lly to a dog show, including the recent Overlin-Soose fig h t , is sprouting
w h ite palm trees. F ig h t fans wouldn ’t know the old place now. Its ugly
ra fte rs are concealed w ith a trem endous blue sik net, studded w ith stars to g iv e the e ffe c t o f a trop ica l sky.
The flo o r which once was covered w ith ice fo r hockey and tanbark fo r circuses now is m ade o f specialy treated M ich igan hard maple fo r jitterbu gs .
Th is is th e doing o f M onte Proser, the little-m an-what- now o f the n igh t club world. H e has m ade a sum m er danoe hall o f the w orld ’s m ost fam ous sports arena. Instead o f a th ree-ring circus, P roser has g iven the Garden three bands— Benny Goodman, L a rry C linton and Charlie B arnet fo r a starter, others to fo llow during the summer.
F ace -lift in g the old lady ’s in terior, so to speak, has cost P roser about $100,000, he figu res. The m ost spectacular fe a ­ tu re o f the operation is e igh t g ian t w h ite palm trees, each 77 fe e t h igh , w ith fron spreads o f 30 fee t. H an g in g coconuts conceal ligh t bulbs fo r illum ination. In the past. Garden ve ­ geta tion hafe been restricted to the production o f cauliflowers.
W h at th is fla sh y splendor m igh t do to the m orale o f an absent-m inded pugiliM w andering in from an adjacen t gym ­ nasium is past conjecture. I f he should step onto a flo o r w hich accommodates 5,000 jitte rb u gs a t one tim e, he m igh t fin d h im self in a tougher bout than has been seen at the Gar­ den during the past indoor season.
On the theory that jitte rb u gs eat, P rose r has construct­ ed a Pan -Am erican P a tio a t one end o f the arena and an E n ­ chanted Garden C afe behind each band stand. On the fu rth er theory that some people would ra th er w atch jitte rb u gs dan­ ce than t r y it them selves, he has provided 4,000 spectator seats.
In the past the Garden has been converted on successive n igh ts from a boxing arena to a politica l j*a lly , to a hockey rink but the job o f m aking it a ju ng le c learing took seven days preceded by th ree weeks o f in tensive planning on the part o f C lark Robinson, ca fe designer. H e used 40 m en fo r fou r days to lay the flood. H e had to fin d a w ay to construct a spectacular w a te rfa ll at the N in th Avenue end o f th e G ar­ den, from which 750 gallons o f w a te r pours each minute. A nd one o f his grea test problems was to fin d a “ sky hook” fo r the 65,000 square yards o f fab r ic which m ake th e Gard­ en ’s new sky.
Proser, an owlish, m eek-looking m an in hom -rim m ed spectacles, did a lot fo r the rhum ba and the rhum ba has done a lo t fo r him. N ow he is go in g to g iv e hot ja zz a chance.

Dodgers Split Doubleheader Games With Cardinals Maisiichi Sportorial Slammers Cop Lead Of Boys Table Tennis League
Wrestling fans in Honolulu, as well as on the out­ side islands, have been wondering what has happened to
' Tetsuo “Rubberman” Higami, the popular Japanese mat man, who has been idle for quite sometime.,
W ith the exception o f re fe ree in g a bout o r tw o in the last fe w months, Rubberm an has m ore o r less stayed on the side­ lines from the grunt and groan gam e, but P rom oter A l K ara- sick o f th e A u d itorium announced tha t H igam i w ill a ttem pt | a rea l comeback during the f ir s t o r second week o f O ctober j
a t th e C iv ic Auditorium . Rubberm an H igam i was said to have been out o f compe­
t it io n fo r the past several months due to in juries. N ow that h e is fu lly recovered. P rom oter A l Karasick states that H iga ­ m i w ill tackle a top ranking h eavyw eigh t from the mainland w ho w ill a rr ive som etim e in late Septem ber. Karasick did not announce the w res tle r ’s name, but assured that he is o f cham pionship calibre.
Ca lling it as “ H igam i D ay,” the m ogul o f the C iv ic A u d i­ toriu m said that a b ig a ll-star card, fea tu rin g some o f the lead in g Japanese m atm en 'now in H aw aii w ill be posted fo r th e fans.
H igam i on that day w ill be celebrating his 20th yea r in th e w res tlin g gam e. By so doing, he w ill be clim axing one o f th e g rea tes t and colorfu l careers o f the w res tlin g gam e has e v e r seen.
Rubberm an H igam i is easily the grea test Japanese ex ­ ponent o f th e Occidental s ty le o f w restling. H is records easi­ ly eclipse those o f Taro M iyake, once th e toast o f N ew Y o rk and K in iyo , who scored sensational run o f v ic tories on the W es t Coast in the m iddle tw enties.
I t was H igam i who practica lly “ created” the w res tlin g gam e here in the islands (H ono lu lu ). I t was in 1934 when he f i r s t showed there that professional w res tlin g rea lly g o t its s ta rt in th e Islands. H e le ft fo r the M ainland a fterw ards, a f­ t e r which tim e the gam e took a nose dive. H ow ever, his tim e­ ly re tu rn in June o f 1940 rev ived the gam e until now it seems th a t i t is in its peak.
H iga m i’s won and lost column shows that he had nearly 2,600 bouts o f which he has won at least 2,000 o f them. I t is, h ow ever, not his im pressive record th a t draw s the assem bl­ a g e o f fans, but his rem arkable showmanship. F rom eve ry section o f the country from the P a c ific coast to the A tlan tic coast, from Canada to M exico, the colorfu l Japanese m atm an has attendance records which w ill be hard to equal by any w res tle r, regard less o f w eigh t, n a tiona lity o r ab ility.
In 1924, w h ile still a youngster and new to the gam e, he once perform ed before 12,000 fans a t the L eg ion auditorium a t H o llyw ood against A d Santel, then the m idd lew eigh t cham pion o f the w’orld. Th is is still a record in the Los A n ­ ge les arena fo r a bout fea tu rin g m iddlew eights.
H e holds all kinds o f records in Honolulu as w ell as in A u s tra lia and South A m erica w here he appeared numerous t im es in his len gth y career. Th is indicates tha t no m atter w h e re he is featu red his rem arkable showm anship and color has not gone unnoticed by the fans.
Rubberm an ’s fa vo r ite holds are h is sleepers and the Ja­ panese arm bar which are fea red by all w restlers. H is pecu­ lia r r in g style, am using beyond description, y e t e ffe c t iv e nevertheless, is probably w hat makes him so well-liked by th e fans.
H igam i is no longer as strong as he used to be ten years ago , but he still possesses a lot o f r in g experience and is easi­ ly one o f the best jiu -jitsu experts in the country today, so he is v e ry much respected by his fe llo w workers.
I t is the w res tlin g fan s ’ hope th a t Tetsuo “ Rubberm an” H ig a m i’s comeback cam paign in O ctober w ill bo lster the squared r in g sport sky high.

16-YEAR-OLD BOY SHOWS IN 9.6 CENTURYSPRINT TALENT
B A T H , N . Y . (U P ) Jesse Owens’ sprint records w ill be in jeopardy i f 16-year-old H aro ld Bower, H aver lin g h igh school freshm an, continues to develop as rap id ly as he did the past season.
The rugged, handsome youth has only been running a few months but a lready he has covered 100 yards in 9.6 sec­ onds, the national scholastic mark, and 220 yards in 21.9.
Young Bowers is what is known as a “natural,” When he first came out this spring he was slow and awkward on starting and knew little about pace. But dili­ gent practice ironed out his rough points and by the end of the sea­ son he was one of the brightest scholastic track stars this district has seen.
To give an example of his nat­ ural ability, the youth ran his first varsity 100 in 10.4 and a week later turned in a 9.8 fo r the cen­ tury and 22.3 for the 220, both new records for the meet in which he was participating.
Stars at County Meet
I t was in the Steuben County Athletic Association track meet that Bowers turned in his bec.'t marks and gave promise that with proper training and a little luck he might some day be crowding tlie records set by Ohio State’s former dusky flash.
A good-looking boy with a mop of curly brown hair and a modest air, Bowers tips the scales at 150 pounds and stands about 5 feet 8 inches tall. He has a powei’ful physique and should grow consid­ erably larger and heavier.
His coach, W ilfred Nadeau, em­ phasizes that the youth is no superman.
“Let’s get that straight right now,” Nadeau said when ques­ tioned. “He’s just a good athlete who trains well and has pos'sibili- ties.”
Reserve Power Great
Nadeau emphasized that Bowers has remarkable reseiwe power and might some day specialize in one of the longer psrints, but still he felt the youth’s greatest success

BROOKLYN, Aug. 27 — The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated St. Louis Cardinals 8-3 in the first game yesterday to cop a two and a half game l^ d over the
latter in the hectic National league pennant chase.

In the nightcap, however, Cardi­ nals trimmed the lead down to one and a half game as they won an eighth inning 3-1 fray from the Dodgers. The game was called o ff at the beginning o f the ninth by Chief Umpire Owen because of darkness^
