GI Protest Scene
Draws Reprimand
YOKOHAMA. Jan 9.-)-(
Charles A. Mahoney disclosed to-
day he had broken up a ■ hothead"
demonstration of soldiers on the
arrival here of Secretary of War
::
Patterson, telling them "you are
insulting a man who was a soldier
before you were born."
Mahoney, provost marshal of the
U S. Army Service command here,
severely reprimanded Eighth Ar-
ms GIs who greeted Patterson's
appearance during an inspeciton
tour yesterday with cries of “we
want to go home " ■
"I told them to stop or I
would take steps to break it
up immediately." Mahoney
said. "I asked them if they,
were soldiers or Boy Scouts."
A memeographed paper, "Dis-
charge . circulated among soldiers,
quoted Mahoney additionally:
“If you want to go home I'll take
you home I'll see that you get to
my Yokohama prison. You're in
suiting a man who's a.better GI
than any of you
“If you want lace panties
I’ll get them for you. Just let
me hear you sing '1 want to go
home' again and I'll pick out
two or three singers and per-
Col. diers who gathered in front of the
adjutant general's building were
stirred up by "a lot of communists
and hotheads.”
The paper said the secretary did
not leave General MacArthur's se-
dan.
Mahoney, however, said Patter-
son left the car and went into the
building where soldiers made him
an "Honorary GI."
The colonel described the dem-
onstration as a near mutiny."
"Discharge" announced a sched-
uled mass meeting tomorrow in
front of Eighth Army headquar-
ters. Col. W N. Todd, secretary to
the command's general staff, said
he saw no reason why the meeting
should be prohibited.
At Honolulu last night, 1,-
500 soldiers staged a noisy
protest meeting against the
demobilization program in

OLD STORY FOR GUS COOK
Recess Just Means More Work
For the U. S. Capitol Housekeeper
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--
Keeping a building like the U. S.
capitol tidy would drive most
housekeepers nuts.
But for Gus Cook it's as simple
as sweeping dust under the rug.
Capitol superintendent since
1923 and a government employe
for 51 years. Cook isn't at all up-
set by the present mild flurry.
While congress is in recess, ele-
vators are being checked, switch-
boards rewired, paint daubed here
and there, and booths sound-
proofed for the radio announcers.
“But you really can't get much
done in 14 days,” Cook signed.
You can't, for instance, do any-
thing about overhauling the sen-
ate and house chambers, and over-
due job and delayed by the war.
The ceilings in both houses are
trussed up with steel girders, and
Cook and his boss, Capitol Archi-
tect David Lynn, told a reporter
today they'll be glad when con-
gressmen have a safer roof over
their heads.
Lynn figures congress will re-
cess in June. In the meantime he
hopes to get plans drawn, con-
tracts let. and materials purchased
and delivered. In this way, work-

He referred to parades and pro-

State Jobless
Total to Reach
165,000 in Feb.
WASHINGTON. Jan 9. — —
ployment in Texas, totaling 165,000
by February 15 was forecast today
by the United States Employment
service, which set the current es-
timate of jobless at close to 125,-
000
Approximately 80 per cent of
these non-agricultural workers are
males, and most are discharged
veterans, the USES said.
The number of veterans con-
tacting United States Employment
offices for job placements in-
creased 66 per cent in November
over the previous month. There
were 101.644 service men from
Texas discharged during the month
and 31.811 of them registered for
work in local USES offices.
The Unemployment Compensa ,
tion commission reported that'
there were approximately 54.000
veterans filing claims for readjust-
I mert allowances, compared with
24,600 displaced civilian workers
The USES figures the ratio of
service men out of work, to civil-
ians out of work, is about two to
one. :
Many job, orders are still going
unfilled because workers qualified
by particular skill, experience or
other requirements are not locally
available for those jobs This is
