TWO INDIANA EVENING GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22,1946. i ..,,1 JH ..7 War Today By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign News Analyst British Foreign Secretary Bevin's pronouncement of policy rounds oyt the preview of what we may expect from England's new Socialist Government, and in these early Stages we find it moving along a line not very far "left" of center, thus confounding those prophets Who. expected a radical upheaval. A striking feature of Bevin's Speech in Commons was that it echoed the policies of the late Con- tervative Government under Win- iton Churchill.

Indeed, the Conservative members of parliament not only gave a warm demonstration of approval but aristocratic Former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden congratulated Bevin and placed the Conservative seal of approval on the Socialist declaration. A.nd so we have further backing tor the tradition that Britain's foreign policy remains fundamentally the same, no matter what party is In power. Even more illuminating was Socialist Bevin's stand against "totalitarianism." Referring to the countries of Europe which "have been Imbued'with the diabolical ideas of Nazissm," he declared that as new governments are elected there is ane thing "we must aim at resolutely even at the beginning, and that Is to prevent the substitution of one form of totalitarianism for another." Specifically, he said to Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary (which are tri the Russian sphere of influence) "the governments which have been set up do not in our view represent the majority of the people ind the impression we get from re- developments is that one kind )f totalitarianism is being replaced ay another." So England's sensational new is setting out as a moderate institution which is well inside both the Extremists of the 'right" and those the "left." And lere it's well to note that an Ex- 'ireme Conservative is "radical" lust as is an Extreme Socialist. We see the regime under Prime Minister Attlee embarking on a imited program of nationalization, vlth strong indications that private nitiative will be encouraged. In ihort, there is to be no wholesale ihange in Britain's economic struc- ure now.

The government program calls for lationalization of the Bank of Eng- and, the coal mines and transpor- fction, but the signs nre that this will represent most of the national- zatipn' in the life of the present which normally would five years. From the international stand- joint the matter of paramount (ortance is what differences of view nay arise among the diversified of the Big Three over jolitical developments in Europe. Wany regimes are changing, nnd we mnnot hope that Moscow, London Ymd' Washingtop wilh regaM all hese developments with a single lye. Fortunately all three recognize Jiat allowing any political argu- nent to become heated would be ike monkeying with an atomic There has been at least a ecit understanding among the trio hat real self-determination shall as the European countries their governments. MacArthur To Come Tuesday (Continued from Page 5) General MacArthur, after his tide's met Japanese emissaries in Manila last weekend and obtained letailed information on plans for 'span's occupation, said Monday he vould "soon proceed to Japan" and inticipated the surrender would be 'signed within 10 days." Since the return of the emissaries Japan, Tokyo radio's growing cries of unconfirmed reports havo (resented this version of events to "ome: (Chungking radio said the Japa- lese surrender in China would fol- Ow the formal signing at Tokyo.) The official headquarters account events to come has been broad packed with mean- ngful power.

For the first time, the full corn- Da power of the American Navy will be massed in a single operation shores of a beaten nation whose one-time navy of 381 war- ihips was reduced by Allied attacks to 48 operational vessels 26 destroyers, 22 submarines. Virtually all of the hundreds of transport planes throughout the Pacific will transport landing groups, MacArthur and his key staff personnel. Possibly even the giant Super- fortresses will bi in the awesojne umbrella to be spread protectively over Nippon during the landings. Every branch of America's armed forces will be represented. peaceful landing probably will entail almost as much battle Strength as once was planned for the combat invasion.

Dairy Exhibit For CountyFair The dairy industry in Indiana County is responsible for at least of the farm income. The sale of dairy products in Indiana County exceeds two million dollars annually. Next week at the Indiana Fair, an opportunity will be afforded to see some of the good dairy cattle of the county. Judging begins Wednesday morning, August 29. In addition to the herds shown by farmer breeders, members of the Smyrna-Georgeville 4-H Calf Club and the White Township 4-H Calf Club will display their calves and heifers.

As a special inducement in encouraging the 4-H club members, the Indiana Kiwanis Club will award one dollar to each 4-H calf club member in thd county who exhibits his calf. The Fair Association also wards each 4-H calf club member two dollars toward the transportation of the calf to the Fair. All club members must also compete for prizes in the open classes. 4-H club members are now giving special attention to their heifers and calves, training them to load properly in the show ring, using the brush and blankets to improve the coat, and giving a little extra grain to give the calves a beauty parlor eftect. 4-H club members and FFA members are also exhibiting in other departments at the County Fair, reports County Agent J.

W. Warner. One phase of the Fair which attracts a great number of people is the annual Horse Pulling Contest. Generalissimo Chuck Burge from Penn State will supervise the pulling contests on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Teams under three thousand pounds will pull on Wednesday evening and teams over three thousand pounds on Thursday evening.

Entries for this contest should be made to Dr. J. Connolly. Special attention this year will be given to sucking colts and yearlings in the Gold Medal Colt Club. The County Fair Association will pay six dollars toward the transportation of any foal entered in the Gold Medal Colt Club, properly weighed in and shown at the Fair.

This will also include any yearlings shown as colts at the 1944 Fair. The Gold Medal Colt Club is confined to Indiana County owners. The Indiana County Sheep and Wool Growers Association has decided not to hold the annual Ram Sale. However, breeders of registered sheep will have rams at the County Fair which will be sold following the judging on Wednesday. These will be sold at private treaty.

With gasoline rationing discontinued, everything now points to a good attendance and fine exhibits at the county fair. LET'S GO!

The Indiana Macaroni Company, Indiana, is forbidden to "ship, aid in shipping or direct to be shipped" any materials from their plant, in a decision handed down late yesterday by Federal Judge R. M. Gibson. The original complaint was filed by inspectors of the Food and Drug Administration of the Federal Security Agency following inspections made of the factory. The complaint stated that on Feb.

15, (lie agents found "bags of flour used in their manufacturing process i had been gnawed and tunnelled by rodents" and that "on the firm's own scales several packages were found as much us Hj ounces short of a pound package." It further stated that on a return inspection April 11, the inspectors found that "warnings had not made them quit their insanitary, objectionable and illegal practices." At the time of the last inspection the company had just been awarded a contract for 60,000 pounds of alimentary paste products for the army. Sugar Coupons Must fie Endorsed The Altoona District Office of Price Administration today announced that many consumers have failed, to place their signature and the number of War Ration Book Four on the lines allotted for that purpose on 1 and 5 pound i special sugar coupons issued for home canning or preserving pur- i poses. As a result, many relatives, who have accepted such coupons unendorsed, will find their sugar supplies debited since suppliers will not accept this currency unless properly filled out. Geneva Site of United By FLORA LEWIS LONDON, Aug. home of the League of Nations, appears to be winning favor among diplomats in London as a possible site for permanent headquarters of the United Nations security organization.

One Allied official, who declined to be quoted by name, said today that the site now depends primarily on Russia. If the Russians agree, the United Nations may move into the white marble palace constructed for the league at Geneva. Before and during the San Francisco conference United States diplomats strongly objected to any suggestion that Geneva be chosen as headquarters of the new organization. They argued that psychological Implications of the league's failure would hurt the new agency's prestige in the United Since the overwhelming Senate vote on ratification of the United Nations charier, however, it is understood that Washington's opposition is waning. Chinese diplomats in London said they favored San Francisco.

They probably could win support from Australia, New Zealand and many Latm American countries. However, there is every indication that the site will be picked by big five negatiations, possibly during a council of foreign ministers scheduled to meet soon in London. Army Starts Building With PITTSBURGH, Aug. Col. Lucius McK.

Justice Erik Solem, stern and often sarcastic, accused Vidkun Quisling of betraying'his country and his king by trying to cancel Norwegian mobilization orders on the day of the German invasion, and with having offered Norway's defense secrets to the Nazi navy high command prior to the attack.

Solem and Schjoedt introduced a flood of evidence against the puppet premier of Norway under Nazi ocupation, including letters from Quisling to Adolf Hitler, statements by Grand Adm. Erich Raeder, commander in chief of the German navy when the Nazis invaded Norway on April 9, 1940, and other Nazi officials. Quisling denied most of the evidence, tried to explain away some of the others, and when confronted with 'Raeder's own statement that he had offered Norway's defense secrets to Germany, said he could not understand how Raeder could have written svich bad things about him. Quisling admitted broadcasting an order canceling mobilization after forming his own government while he knew that King Haakon VII and the legal government still were in Norway. "It was my duty to save the country from chaos," he explained.

He said he had made futile efforts to contact the king, and as he questions, his eyes ran around the courtroom nervously until- Solem had to ask him several times to pull himself together. Jews Ask Return Of 8 Billion Loot i LONDON, Aug. Euro- i pean Jews lost more than 000,000 in property during the years iof German aggression and want Al-! ilied and neutral governments to i take action to restore it for the use of Jewish welfare, Dr. F. R.

Bicn- enfeld, chairman of the World Jewish Congress legal department, said today. Europan countries generally have provided for the restoration of such property for which there are heirs, but only Greece has set up a commission to dispose for the Jewish good the funds for which all heirs have been killed, Mr. Bienenfeld said. General European law provides that such heirless property revert to the state. fear that Jewish property taken by the Germans and money deposited or invested in other countries will be confiscated to pay German reparations.

Mr. Bienenfeld declared "no government should enrich itself by Nazi crimes." Atoms have been talked about since pre-Socratic times. Soviets Occupy Sakhalin Island MOSCOW, Aug. dispatches reported today that Red Army troops had taken more than 250,000 prisoners in the Japanese- owned southern half of Sakhalin Island and were rapidly completing occupation. (A Tokyo broadcast recorded by the Associated Press in New York said "Soviet forces in inner Mongolia still continue to fight and are refusing, to cease hostilities." The broadcast said fighting was going on in the vicinity of Changpei and Kupeikow.) Captives China Treated CHUNGKING, Aug.

There have been no reports of any last-minute atrocities in Japanese prison camps in China, such as occurred in the Philippines, says Brigadier General George Olmsted. General Olmsted, who planned the operalions of American prisoner of war rescue teams, said American and other Allied peoples would be comforted to know that, up to the present, the teams have found "there adequate medical attention and a very low incidence of hospital cases." Russians Aid Return of Gen. Wainwright Aug. 22 Japanese red tape delaying Lt. Oen.

Jonathan M. Wainwrlgty's departure from Manchuria, he has been a prisoner of war, apparently was cut today by Soviet authorities. A message from an American airborne humanitarian team at Mukden quoted Russian officers as saying last night that a B-24 Liberator was en route to Hsian, 100 miles to the northeast, to fetch, Walnwright, who has been a prisoner there with seven Americans and 20 others of Allied nations. It was expected here that the hero of Corregidor would be flown to Chungking shortly after his arrival in Mukden. American authorities were known to be working to expedite his transfer to Chungking and no further difficulties were foreseen.

The Japanese, apparently fearful of taking any action that might cause difficulties with the Russians, previously were reported delaying Wainwright's departure pending the Soviet approval. The humanitarain team the Mukden prison camp also disclosed that a Russian mission which arrived there last evening had immediately ousted the Japanese guards and placed Maj. Gen. George M. Parker, rankingAmerican officer at the camp, in full charge.

Parker was captured during the battle of Bataan Peninsula. Reports from the other humanitarian team at Peiping said all in- ternes 117 Americans, 133 Netherlander and a number of been moved into hotels. The condition of the internees was said to be as good as could be expected and medical ar? rangements were described as very satisfactory. Congressmen Papacy VATICAN CITY, Aug. Pope Pius invoked God's "choicest blessings" on the United States today and told 11 congressmen at an audience that" the cry of war-torn nations for help "must be barkened to promptly and generously for the good of all mankind." He praised the United States, saying its "unstinting generosity toward the needy is known the world over." He voiced the hope that the congressmen's journey through "sad and stricken Europe has been satisfactory" and declared: "Its very purpose shows how attention of the leaders and statesmen, must turn now from the harsh of- war, always so destructive and never more so than today, to the no less exacting demands of reconstruction and rehabilitation.

"The whole social fabric has been Human society has been shattered to bases. Families, peoples, can tell the story of the agonies they have enduced? Common nature which they share with the vast human family cries out to 1 those less unfortunate for help lest (they perish." The Pontiff continued: "Gross. injustice cannot be perpetrated with impunity on one nation without the rights of other nations being placed in "May your congressional tee contribute- -effectually to ensuring this justice and charity towards all, even toward the weak and pros- strate. if you dor, the whole world will be your debtor." Representatives Samuel A. Weiss and James Pa.) were among those attending.

Later, the Pope received President Truman's special representative, Edward McKim. Laundry Chute Showers Money KANSAS CITY!

Police believe the thief became uneasy over the thorough search being conducted for the missing money and dropped it down the chute.

90 Pet of Psychic Cases Returned FORT CUSTER Aug. WAn Army spokesman disclosed Tuesday that approximately 90 per cent of the Army's overseas neuro- psychialric cases were sent back to duty, 65 per cent of them being returned to combat outfits. Dr. Eli Ginsberg, chief of the resources analysis division of the Surgeon General's Department, told officers at a three-day Army service forces convalescent hospital conference here that only 10 per cent of the men were brought back to this country for treatment. Nevertheless, Ginsberg said, more neuro-psychiatric than i a 1 cases were returned from the Pacific theater from January 1 to June 30 of this year.

He did not disclose actual figures. Citing a survey made of the First Army in the two months following D-Day in France, Ginsberg said that for every four medical cases and every nine battle wound cases there were two psychiatric cases.

Lemar of Kansas City, led the medical team which parachuted into Mukden, Manchuria and traveled a hundred miles northeast to Sian to rescue Jonathan Wainwright, hero of Corregidor, and deliver medical supplies to war prisoners. Greece Fears Attacks From Yugoslavs FLORINA, Greece, Aug.

Although traditionally friendly, Greece and Yugoslavia have turned their common frontier in the wild Macedonian hills into an armed barricade, and today the area is taut with fear and prominition of approaching trouble. Troop concentrations on both sides are heavy. The Yugoslavs probably have seven divisions on the frontier, and when organization and deployment of the Greek National Guard is completed, the Greeks probably will have a similar number. However, on the basis of a trip through the area, I do hot believe the Greek fears' of attack are justified, but there is strong evidences on both sides of the frontier that relations between Greece and Yugoslavia which many times have been allied in war but never at the worst point in history. While the forces of the two countries square off on the frontier for any exentuality, the Greek National Guard with the aid of British troops is working hard to clean out armed bands of political-bandit gangs which roam the Countryside plundering and killing and generally hindering the return of peaceful conditions to the war-ravaged nation.

The Greeks contend the bands are receiving assistance from the Yugoslav side of the border. The Greeks assert that some of the bandits wear red stars on their caps like members of the Yugoslav army and carry similar weapons. British officers cautious about making similar charges, but pne said that on several occasions when large bands were closely pursued they fled toward the frontier, where they disappeared. There have been several cases of firing between frontier posts, always without casualties. Auction bridge is the offspring ot bridge, the grandchild of whist and I Ihe father of contract.

A radio network 11,500 miles long guides the planes of the Pan-American World Airways in their flights over oceans and jungles, reports Radio News. Japs finally (By The Associated Press) The Japanese people, finally learning the cold facts of surrender, were warned wishful thinking, but at the same time were given the sugar-coated pill that Allied terms might be "somewhat lenient." An Imperial announcement, broadcast by Tokio, told the people for the first time that their Emperor had sent surrender envoys to Manila to learn the conditions of capitulation.

The announcement was terse, without the details, but the Tokio press printed considerable about what has transpired within the empire's most historic fortnight. "Be Prepared to Face Cold Facts," was the stark heading of an article in the newspaper Mainichi, which bluntly said the empire would have to accept a "conqueror's terms." This completely realistic editorial warned against "wishful thinking" and said the people should never forget "that we have been completely defeated." That Allied surrender terms will be "somewhat lenient" was the conclusion reached by the semi-official Domei News Agency in its analysis of the Potsdam Declaration, basis for Japan's surrender. Domei, in one of a day-long series of broadcasts recorded by the FCC, said it found words here and there in the declaration that indicated Allied surrender terms, as compared with those given Germany, "are somewhat lenient." While drawing this conclusion, Domei added: "The fact that they (the Allies) will regard Japan as a defeated nation and will punish her harshly and severely is quite evident, Therefore, there is not an iota of doubt that the acceptance of the i declaration is an acceptance of surrender conditions." As an indication of what It interpreted as leniency, Domei pointed i to these things: Disarmed Japanese troops would returned to their homes to lead i peaceful lives and would not be employed "for labor as in the case of Germany." The expressed Allied desire to "revive the democratic tendencies" which Domei said had been recognized among the Japanese in the i Permission given Japan to maintain peaceful industries, have ac- Icess to raw materials partici- i pate in world trade. Indications that the area of occupation would be I different from the total occupation 'as carried out in Germany." 23 Selectees From Board 3 Go Friday A group of 19 selectees will de part from County Local i Draft Board No. 3 on Friday morning.

Japs Urge Opening of Diet Sessions By the Associated Press Various political elements, particularly among parliamentary members, are urging the immediate opening of an extraordinary session of the Japanese Diet, Domei news agency said today.

The advocates insist its necessity to early formulate emergency measures capable of meeting the new situation as well as the reconstruction program. The Diet can display to the world the good faith of the Japanese government and people, the broadcast intercepted by FCC reported. If the demand for the Diet session materializes, a revision of the present election law will be made followed by a general election in order to set up a completely new political plan in Japan. The present leading political Nippon Political an absolute majority of 347 members in the lower house of the Diet, was dedicated to. the waging of war to a successful end.

Tokyo's newspapers, continuing their campaign to smooth the way for American occupation, told the Japanese petople today they could expect their treatment at the hands of their conquerors to reflect exactly the Japanese own actions. Stressing particularly the need for "peace and order," during the initial period of occupation, both the Mainichi Shimblin and Yomiuri Hochi pointed out that the Americans had given no indication of riding roughshod over Japanese feelings while the Potsdam declaration. However, Mainichi asserted, areas of occupation will be decided entirely by the Allies, "who in making the decision will certainly take into consideration the way in which the Japanese welcome the occupation forces." Yomiuri Hochi observed that peace and order were among the chief of the Allied demands and that the manner in which the demand was met would determine largely whether or not Japan would be able "to lay down a basis for national reconstruction."

Now May BorrowRed Points WASHINGTON! Aug. 22. OP by-permitting hotels and restaurants to borrow red points from their local boards, has indicated plans to cut meat point values and possibly to 'end meat rationing in September. Public eating places and other institutional users which have spent more than 75 per cent of their July- August allotments may obtain loans beginning today against their next- four allotment periods. The borrowed points must be repaid in four equal installments, beginning with the September-Octob-- er period, if rationing lasts that: long.

The OPA announcement said institutional users Could still expect meat enough to get by after repaying the points. Secretary of Agriculture Anderson said recently he believed elimination of rationing would be possible in September if cattle shipments to market were heavy. S.C STREAMS I FUNERAL State Hopes For More Industries HARRISBURGT Aug7l2 Pennsylvania officials are hoping that tax studies now being made will serve to bring more industries into the commonwealth. Governor Martin said yesterday he had ordered the study "because while I was in another state the question was brought up that 'your taxes are I want absolutely foolproof data by Sept. 1.

I don't want theory stuff." The study was being made by Budget Director Edward B. Logan, and Commerce Secretary Floyd Chalfant. When completed Martin said the figures would be used to show industries planning to locate in the state just what local taxation will cost them, along with facts on labor and other' essential factors. It the study shows local taxes in some communities are too high, Martin added, "the local officials will be called in and we'll talk it over and try to work it out." Martin predicted that the Republican candidate for Governor in 1946 can campaign on a platform promising tax reductions in 1947. He added that it will be "a nice thing on which to campaign, and declared that his administration will "give- my successor a nice surplus to start Attention!
