Abstract
After winning his Montana case, P.O.Keeney left Montana and got a job in Washington D.C.in1940. There he was engaged in analysis of war information, and took the opportunity to go to Japan under the military occupation of the Allied Powers as a member of commission concerning civil affairs in 1945. Then he transferred from GS to CIE where they were preparing for the visit of the U.S.Education Mission, and he took charge of making Japanese library policy. Keeney worked for implementation of unified library system, but his plan presupposed centralized administration and was inconsistent with decetralization policy of CIE. Further, he could not obtain Japanese librarians' consent, so he held conferences throughout Japan in order to inform an advantage of his plan. But, in April 1947, Keeney was suddently to be discharged, because the U.S.Government, which confirmed its opinion for anti-communism, suspected him of being a communist.
