In return, the Potsdam terms promised Japan retention of all industries to maintain the civilian economy and provide for reparations in goods; access to raw materials and free trade, and withdrawal of occupation forces upon organd ization of a government in conformance with the wishes of the people. In first indicating the Jap decision to give up the fight, the Tokyo radio declared that the Nipponese had approached Russia to act as intermediary in peace negotiations with the U. S., Britain and China several weeks ago at the request of the emperor. Having failed to establish contacts, however, the government I': ' i i- - ) ; ' ! It! Jim How would you like a Red Cross nurse?

Jones Probably somebody cooked his goose. the emperors position in the nation be respected. While neither the U. S. nor Britain had ever officially discussed Hirohitos status in the event of a Jap collapse, it was felt that because of his standing in the Nipponese community as a supposed descended from the sun goddess, he would be able to preserve order in the home islands following defeat. It was argued that his forcible removal might well throw Japans whole social order into confusion and chaos. Though the war in the Pacific had been a long and bitter one, with American forces pushing steadily ahead ever since the Japanese tidal wave was checked in the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway in the ' spring of 1942, the terrific explosive effect of the atomic bomb and Russias subsequent entrance into the conflict was seen to quicken its end. Even though admitting that it is an awful responsibility which has come to us, President Harry S. Truman declared that the U. S. would continue to use the atomic bomb to destroy Jap munitions industries and reduce the enemys ability to wage war until cessation of hostilities. , America now committed to Prosperity demands of , more prudence and moderation than adversity.

In determining to separate Austria from the Reich, the Allies planned for the creation of an independent state in free and open elections, before which the country would be divided into four occupational zones under U. S., British, Russian and French military commanders. The U. S. zone constitutes the north-centrportion of Austria below the Danube. Meanwhile, Yugoslavia prepared to hold a vote on the question of the form of a new government, with Moscow - backed Marshal Tito calling for a republican system excluding the monarchy. Charged with having been identified with Nazi collaborators by Tito, King Peter retorted that the country was now under a wave of terror by the Partisans, with, all law suspended and no opportunity for a free and open vote on the future character of the government. pie is to be greatEmersoJ He is a fool who cannot bp angry; he as a wise man wh will not.

S. and British research since 1940, the atomic bomb has been secretly produced in two great plants at Richland, Wash., and Oak Ridge, Tenn., with two billions dollars required for its development. With Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves in overall charge, and with Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer of the University of California heading the technical work, manufacture of the atomic bomb 'Involved the use of uranium, a metallic substance found in southwestern Colorado and eastern Utah as well as in Canada, the Belgian Congo, Austria, Russia,' Sweden, Norway and Cornwall. Principle of the new explosive lies in splitting atoms the tiniest and releasing particles of matter the electrical charges they contain with the attendant energy. Besides energy, heat and light can be recovered, thus leading to wide postwar possibilities for the material. In announcing the use of the atomic bomb with its magical substance, however, Secretary of War Stimson revealed that postwar adaptation of the product to civilian use -- will require additional experimentation to design machinery capable of harnessing the tremendous force. Meanwhile, Stimson said, the U. S. intends to share the secret of the atomic bomb only with Britain and Canada, and in speculating on its use as a factor in maintaining peace, it was suggested that the English-speakin- g Allies would hold on to the explosive and restrict its use on behalf of the United Nations postwar security force to American and British planes.

CIVILIAN GOODS: Slow Coming DEODORANT CREflm Though War Production board officials declared that the reconvei-sio- n program gradually was gathering momentum, there are small prospects that needed civilian goods will reach retailers counters in sufficient volume before well into 1946. v In reviewing the situation, WPB held out hopes for substantial production of electric irons, baby carriages and alarm clocks during the present quarter, with limited output of washing vacuum machines, cleaners and galvanized cans and pails. To date, only near sufficient quantities of razors, razor blades, hearing-ai- d batteries and dry cell batteries are being manufactured, it was said. Though large amounts of comparatively electric ranges, refrigerators, film and and fans are scheduled to lamps be turned out in the present quarter, most will be reserved for military purposes, WPB revealed. isn't stiff of stickyl Soft spreads like face cream. . is actually soothingly Use after shaving will not Irritate. scent.Nosick haslight, pleasant smell to cling to fingers or do will not spoil delicate fabrics.
