The dispute, born from wage and election issues, could lead to government seizure of the Kearny shipyards next week as 18,000 workers idle amid near half a billion dollars in shipbuilding orders.

Japanese Pressing Charges Of U S And British Encirclement
Japanese press in Tokyo accused Anglo American and Russian encirclement designs with claims that the United States was establishing naval fuel depots in Australia and that the British battleship Warspite surfaced near Thailand to intimidate the country. A Miyako dispatch cited oil tankers leaving for Australia to store fuel as part of an encircling formation, with Rangoon as a rendezvous for a combined convoy. The Yomiuri highlighted a Comei report of Warspite in Thai waters for intimidation en route to the United States for repairs. The government tightened Indo Chinese defenses and moved to consolidate civilian decrees under foreign office control to coordinate joint Indo Chinese defense and resource development.
