Show 1 Chicago Man, 100, Still In Business CHICAGO July IS (UJ9 Henry Hen-ry C. Lytton, who with Marshall Field, and Potter Palmer developed de-veloped Chicago's State street shopping centers, was 100 years old today--and still in business. Lytton, sole surviving member of the original State street council, coun-cil, of 14 merchant princes, said his formula for a long life was "moderation in all things." He still presides at board meetings and spends three to four hours ; daily checking sales figures, i holding conferences with top ex-1 ex-1 ecutives and overseeing Henry C. ' Lytton company's advertising. He planned to spend his birthday birth-day quietly at his summer home in St. Joseph, Michigan. Business methods, he said have improved tremendously since the late 1860's when he opened his first general merchandise store in the little town of Ionia, Mich., at the age of 20 and became a pioneer in modern advertising techniques. Lytton startled the staid businessmen busi-nessmen of the 19th century with his advertising stunts and was the first merchant to stage a wedding in a store window. He once threw 100 overcoats from the roof of his store into crowded state street. His most successful stunt came In 1887 when he personally oaid off a bet on the Cleveland-Harrison election in a show window. "I had a bet with a newspaperman newspaper-man that if Cleveland lost I was to put on my dress suit and saw a half cord of wood in the front show window. "Well, my man lost so I paid off the bet even though they almost had to carry me out of the window and I had to buy a new dress suit. "But it was a wonderful stunt." he smiled. "Thousands of people came to watch. They had to call out extra police to clear State street." PAGE 4 PROVO. UTAH COUNTY. UTAH SUNDAY.

Japan Would Have Given Up Without Atomic Bomb, Russia Slays Brother After Quarrel TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 13 (UP) William Dowel, 30, was held today in the death of his brother, wounded fatally during a tree-to-tree gun battle which followed an argument over whether to take home a case of beer or a case of soda pop. Walter Dowell, 27. died in a hospital yesterday from a wound in the abdomen. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of homicide. The men's sister, Audrey, 16. told authorities that William had come home alone Thursday night after leaving with his brother for a tavern at Shepardsville, near here. He seized a 12-gauge shotgun, shot-gun, she said, and announced, "I'm going to kill Walter." When Walter returned home a few minutes later, William was waiting for him. she said. He fired three shots but missed. Walter then dodged into the house and got a 16-guage shotgun and told his sister to turn out all the lights. Audrey and an older sister, Mrs. Thelma Carpenter, 22, hid under a bed in the house while their brothers battled in the woods outside. out-side. William returned to the house and said simply, "get an ambulance, am-bulance, I shot him." Prosecutor John Jett said the brothers, both miners, had gone to the tavern to pick up a case of soda pop ordered by their father before he left with their mother on a trip to Detroit. Jett quoted William as saying that Walter had wanted to take along a case of beer, too. but that William had objected. They argued ar-gued briefly, then left the tavern separately. By ROBERT J. MANNING United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. July 13 U.R Japan would have surrendered late in 1945 even without the atomic bomb or Russia's intervention, inter-vention, the U. S. strategic bombing bomb-ing survey told President Truman Tru-man tonight. The 12-man civilian board said American air power licked the Japanese long before the. first atomic bomb gutted Hiroshime and Russia entered the Pacific war. Japan might have surrendered before last November 1 and "certainly-' prior to December 31 "even "ev-en if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war. and even if Distillers Use Surplus Spuds WASHINGTON, July 13 U.R American beer and whiskey- drinkers soon may be quaffing large quantities of potato liquor-but liquor-but they'll probably never know it unless they glance at the label. The agriculture department disclosed dis-closed today that it has sold approximately ap-proximately 21.816 carloads of surplus potatoes to distillers. The potatoes were part of 22.964 cars bought up under the department's price support program. The large-scale government purchases were the result of a bumper early potato crop which totaled about 75,000,000 bushels as compared with an average of about 48,000,000 over the past several years. 3rd Fingerprint On Ransom Note Matches Degnan's CHICAGO. July 12 0J P Chief of Detective Walter Storms said today that a third fingerprint of the ransom note in the Suzanne Degnan kidnap-killing had been found to' resemble the prints of William Heirens. 17-year-old suspect held under 24-hour-a-day guard in the county jaU. Previously authorities had found Heirens prints matched at a majority of points with two other prints on the note. Finding of the new print came less than 24 hours after authori ties linked him through finger- prints with the Dec. 10 "lipstick" i death of ex-Wave Frances Brown. Storms asserted that Heincns was the "greatest criminal of his age in Chicago police annals." Storms said that a print from Heirens' little finger, at the base, had been found to match at 10 J points with a third print found on the Degnan note. I he latest print developed was on the reverse re-verse side of the note. Previously, police announced that the print of a tip of a little finger found on the reverse side of the note matched w ith Heirens' I at most points, and the print of fa palm on the front of the note. Their findings were confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Investiga-tion, and the latest print was forwarded to the FBI. Storms asserted that no "foreign" prints had been found on the note, that all identifiable had been linked with Heirens. The youth, held for arraignment Tuesday on 29 indictments charging charg-ing burglary, assault, and robbery, has not been charged in the Degnan Deg-nan case. no invasion had been planned or I contemplated," the board said. It revealed that the Japanese Japan-ese military even hoped for an American invasion of the Japanese homeland on the premise that the Japanese could inflict high casualties and thus prod the United States into negotiating the Pacific peace. Japan took the first fateful steps toward unconditional surrender sur-render as early as June, 1944, when the cabinet of Gen. Hideki Tojo gave up command of the war it had started three years earlier at Pearl Harbor. By then the Japanese knew the war was "essentially a war to win air control over the Japanese homeland," the experts said. Already Al-ready American air supremacy "was being persuasively demonstrated" demon-strated" over Japan, they added. Thus, more than a year before surrender actually came, "the time had come for positive steps to end the war," Japan's defeated leaders told the survey group. It said that the atomic bomb added "urgency and lubrication" to the deliberations of Japan's leaders as they considered surrender sur-render early in August, 1945. Although' Al-though' the bombs "changed no votes of the supreme war direction direc-tion council . . . thev did foreshorten fore-shorten the war and expedite the peace," the report conceded. Russia's intervention, it added, "neitifer defeated Japan nor materially ma-terially hastened the acceptance of surrender ..." Franklin D'Olier. president of the Prudential Insurance Co., headed the 12-man survey board. The other members were Paul H. Nitze and Henry C. Alexander, Alexan-der, vice chairman; Harry L. Bowman. J. K. Galbraith, Rensis Likert. Frank A. McNamee, Fred Seaiis. Jr., Monroe E. Spaght, Dr. Louis R. Thompson, Theodore Theo-dore R. Wright and Walter Wilds.
