Likening the Bretton Woods In. ternational stabilization fund and bank, to blood plasma given those who need it, a blood bank for the nations, Clifford A.

Carroll, S. professor of economics at Gonzaga university, yesterday explained the, purposes and aims of the financial convention to guests at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in the Civic building. His talk was preceded by awarding of he United States Chamber of Commerce plaque to the Spokane fire department by William E. Hanley. San Francisco, district vice president of the United States Chamber.

Spokane placed first in fire prevention among seven west. ern states in 1944 and placed third nationally. "The war happened because there were have-not nations in the world," the Rev. Carroll said. "This came about because the ordinary devices of world trade and communication had broken down.

World currency must be stabilized and the $8,800,000,000 fund to be set up by the Bretton Woods agreement will attempt to do just that. "The proposed International bank is an orthodox institution which will make loans according to needs rather than aceirding to the rate of interest. If ay nation defaults on its obligations, the deft. cit will be taken care of first out of liquid assets, then from the cap. ital.

"We have exchanged our wealth and resources in a ghastly way for the last years," Fr. Carroll concluded, "Reconstruction is contin. ued exchange on the basis of life rather than deathwe must do our best with it." 1'11, ir I the official announcement of V-J day by President Truman. Paper littered the sidewalks. A typical celebration scene, in front of The Spokesman-Review building five minutes after 1 Spokane's first V.3 day victim, a pretty auburn-haired celebrant, is shown being picked up by two soldiers and a civilian at Post and Riverside, where she ran into a moving car in the excitement.

Police report her name as Mrs. Inamae White, route 9. She suffered shock, cuts and bruises. ,.4 rase ARMY REJOICES tm, AT PEACE NEWS LEGAL HOLIDAY CLOSES STORES ARMY INDUCTION GOES ON TODAY Military Installations Declare Holiday. "Is it official? this really true this time?" S'idewalks were crowded with men and women and children of all ages.

Their faces were a study in emotion. Some merely stood, gazing no at the shower of torn paper drifting down from office windows. Others laughed and shouted. or talked animatedly. But the crowd was extremely well behaved.

Workers coming home from war plants in the Spokane area swelled the throng. Men in safety helmets and carrying lunch buckets waved gayly from passing ears. By 5 o'clock noise In downtown Spokane had reached bedlam dimensions. People were really getting into the spirit of the celebration. That was the way it IN as at first seemed to know just how to celebrate.

A woman at the corner of Riverside and Monroe turned to her husband and said: "Well, let's celebrate Come on, do something!" 'Gee, I don't know what to do," he replied. "Well, old sour puss! Why don't you cheer up? The war's over," said an attractive young blonde, gayly planting a kiss on the sober face of a gray-haired man emerging from the Davenport just as the news broke yesterday. The Union station seemed an oasis of quiet after the shrill clamor of Riverside. A few soldiers stood in line at the ticket windows, speaking to each other in low tones, and the few civilians might have been any similar group on a normal day. One man was intently reading a magazine.

Outside the station a sailor was offering drinks from a near-empty bottle to each passer-by. He flung the empty bottle far outsinto the street, where it narrowly missed a car and broke in a spray of glass before onrushing tires. Across the street crowds moved restlessly before the Pastime club and Uncle Joe's, listening to the radio. The perspiring stationmaster at the Northern Pacific station said he dreaded the evening to come, with four trains due between 8 and 9 p. m.

and excited crowds milling about the station. Sing "God Bless America." When news of the war's end reached Comstock pool, several hlundred children who had been splashing about climbed from the pool and solemnly sang "God Bless America," it was reported. In a way the spontaneous celebration was like a gathering storm. It started slowly, with a few cheers and a few bits of paper fluttering down. One woman, pushing a baby carriage, stood weeping in the middle of the sidewalk, blocking passers-by.

A stranger went up to comfort her. Everybody was everybody's friend. Men in uniform in the downtown streets were often the subjects of Impromptu ovations. They were slapped on the back, and shaken by the hand. "Well, boy, be out of that uniform soon, strangers shouted.

The snake dance, a traditional part of American jubilation, was missing at first. But at approximately 5:15 p. m. a group of young people formed a line and snake-danced down the middle of Sprague. The line split up and portions of it weaved through various office buildings.

One section, totaling 35 boys too young for the army, girls and a few soldiers, tramped throur-h The Spokesman-Review newsroom, thou tine: "Have you heard? It's all over!" FUTURE OF OPA IS NOT KNOWN County Will Spend $70,000 Instead of $38,900 in 1945. The cost of the primary and general election next year will cost: Spokane county $70,000 Instead of the $387900 spent last year because of an increase of as much as 50 cents an hour approved by the state legislature for salaries to be paid election officials, County Auditor Joe Stewart disclosed yesterday in commenting on the 1946 county budget now being compiled at the courthouse. Mr. Stewart said around 1100 election officials are hired. All 53 budgets from various county departments and funds have been turned into the auditor's office.

Hearing for the preliminary approval of the budgets has been set for September 4, and the budget must be approved within five days after October 1. "The county expects to spend $110,000 on tax rebates for 1946," Mr. Stewart announced. This covers a 3 per cent rebate on current taxes that are paid before March 15. The county paid out $108,000 in tax rebates last year.

Edgecliff sanitarium submitted a budget for $215,691 as compared with $186,525 for last year. The public health department handed in a budget for $60,620 compared with $69,018 submitted for last year. Mr. Stewart attributed this decrease to the fact some employees previously paid by the county and reimbursed by the state are now being paid by the state exclusively. The 13 soldier posts in the county submitted a combined budget for $48,700 compared with $35,200 for last year.

'I his increase was in anticipation of greater demands for funds due to an increase in the number of returning veterans. The county school apportionment fund, a combined fund raised by taxes and equalized from the state, will turn over $262,240 next year to the county schools. The estimate for 1945 was $221,119, while 848 was spent in 1944. This state and county fund to assist county schools is over and above the regular state fund. County Engineers.

For construction and maintenance of county roads the county engineers expect to spend $806.000. This is derived mostly from gasoline tax and the balance from road district tax, while part of the money is expected from certain federal aid for post-war projects. Six hundred forty-one thousand dollars was spent last year by the county engineers. The agriculture department Is asking an appropriation of $19.800 for control of noxious weeds. This is $10.000 more than they requested last year.

In addition, $11,695 was asked for the regular budget. The superior court department submitted a budget for $70,470, as compared with $65,070 for last year. Two items, statutory salary increases for court reporters and bailiffs, account for the entire increase. A total of $30,750 was requested by the juvenile department, and this Is the same as last year. Also, the horticulture department asked for $8215, the same as previously, while an increase of $800, bringing the total to was asked for maintenance and operation of the courthouse.

The tentative budget for the welfare department was estimated at $537,800, while a budget of $695,044 was submitted last year. The $160,000 decrease this year is due to the sale of the county hospital, as the patients were mostly senior pensioners who will be cared for largely by the state pension department. Mr. Stewart announced that $79,000 will be paid out in 1946 on interest and redemption of the $500,000 the county issued in February, 1933, in bonds for indigent relief. They will be redeemed in 1953, and the Interest, amounting to 5'4 per cent on the second issue, Is being met annually.

"We do not know the future of OPA and rationing." Harvey Guertin. acting manager of the district office In the absence of Dave S. Cohn, said yesterday after the announcement of day. "We do know that each and every member will stick by and do their part to keep Inflation from hitting this country." Members of the executive boards of the CPA district offices and a skeleton crew at the rationing board in the Welch building will he on duty today as usual. One of the prime reasons for remaining open, Mr.

Guertin said, was because of the harvesting season in this part of the country and to aid people who had not had a chance to come to the board. All suspension order hearings scheduled for today and tomorrow have been postponed until some time in September, It was announcd late yesterday by Joseph E. Hurley: district enforcement lawyer for the office of price administration. Those to report will be notified of the new hearing date, he said. Celebrate Return of Peace Proclaimed by President.

Donald Fry, secretary of the retail trade bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, after a conference with President Frank A. Davidson of the bureau, last night, following the receipt of the President's proclamation, declared the "merchants were glad to thus observe with holidays the great victory which has been won." President Sam A. Kimbrough of the Spokane Clearing House association announced last night the commercial banks of Spokane will observe the double holiday proclaimed by the President. savings and loan associations also will observe the holidays.

Walter J. Nicholls, vice president of the Standard stock exchange, announced trading will be suspended until Friday.

Food stores will be closed today but it is expected they will be open Thursday.

President Roy L. Stone of the Stone Food Stores, said last night he would contact the various food merchants today to determine their course tomorrow. He believed there was a real need for food stores to open Thursday. Physical Exams Go On as Draft Boards Take Holiday. Pre-induction physical examinations scheduled for today will be held, members of the army examining board in the Welch building said yesterday.

"What will go on after that is anybody's guess. President Truman has said that we will need replacements and that is all we have, to go by." Only two members of the army, were present in the recruiting office on the second floor while the navy recruiting office on the fifth floor of the Welch building closed their doors immediately on announcement of V-J day. The local selective service hoards in the Hutton building, many members of whom have served since October 16, 1940, will be closed during the legal holiday, Paul Erickson of board No. 1 said yesterday. We do not know what is going to happen.

The President has said that immediately after the war 50,000 a month will be drafted instead of the 80,000 now being taken. These men will be in the lower age bracket, meaning under 6, and will be used for replacements for men who have served in action overseas."

Ferris.

chairman of the advisory state war finance committee, yesterday. The starting of the Victory loan drive has been tentatively set for around the middle of October, aryl the campaign probably will be a short one, in his opinion. The government, it Is estimated, will have to raise upward of $20.000,000,000 in the Victory drive, with actual goals from $10,000,000,000 to 000,000,000, despite the reduced expenditures resulting from the lapse of the Japanese war. The national goal of the seventh war loan was $14,000,000000 Intensification of the payroll savings plan is likely after the Victory drive, as it is expected sales of government savings plans will CATHOLICS SAY PEACE PRAYERS notified of the news, and while there was an absence of cheering, their statements were the same as every one in the courthousejust "Thank God it's over." City Dail Desks Closed. With the exception of the offices where they had money which must be cared tor, city hall desks rolled shut in a hurry.

Hundreds of city employees rushed out to watch the street celebration of victory. A block away a Canadian soldier, one leg off at the knee, hobbled along on crutches, dazed by the swirling crowds. A woman slapped him on the back, crying, "You saved us, you saved us!" then she dabbed at her streaming eyes. Martin With l'ilot Son. Former Governor Clarence D.

Martin, his arm around his son Frank, strode down the street. Both were serious, for only recently Frank was a pilot in a dive bomber, but now he is in civilian garb. "I'm glad its over," said the goy "ALL QUIET ON SIREN FRONT" No Restriction. Plans do not call for restriction of military personnel to the base, Col. Park explained, unless re-I action warrants such a move.

Terming the armistice the "result of team work among all elements of the armed forces, industry and labor, as well as other civilian cooperation and the excellent coordination and cooperation with our valiant allies," Col. Park called for restraired celebration out of respect for the memory of those who died to make the victory possible. "This is the realization of our hopes and prayers of the last three i years and eight months," he "It is the victory, the peace for which so many gallant young Americans fought and died. In the joyful celebration of the final victory, we must not and can not forget the sacrifice, the suffering, the bloodshed which it cost us to I achieve it. I know that mothers, and fathers, wives and children of fighting men everywhere are rejoicing today and thanking God' that once and for always the belligerent enemy has been silenced.

In the seclusion of our privacy, let us pay homage to the honored dead I on this great day." Praising the part which the aviation engineers played in. the Pacific war, Col. Park, himself a veteran of European service, said that the men who wear the patch of the army air forces and that of the aviation engineers could look back' upon their accomplishments and take pride In the fact that they' played an important and necessary role in the defeat of Japan, as well as Germany. "We point with particular pride," he added, "to the magnificent role which the aviation engineers have played on Pacific islands, building the landing strips, the runways, and the air bases from which the 13-29s, including those which carried the powerful atomic bomb, have flown." Holiday for All. Military personnel will have a holiday today at Geiger and civilian employees will have two days off.

Capt. Raymond L. Henley, adjutant at Fort George Wright, announced that civilian employees will have today and tomorrow off, while military personnel will observe a "Sunday schedule" today and report back to work tomorrow. Relatives of military personnel will be guests at an open house at the fort today and will be permitted to eat in mess halls. A baseball game and sports program will furnish entertainment.

Spokane army air technical service command was awaiting word from Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, before announcing how much time off civilian employees would have. The news of Japan's surrender came just after the shift broke at 3:30 yesterday afternoon and the huge gang that had collected around radios ran to the parked immediately. A regular pa- rude of honking cars made its way into Spokane and the Sunset highway was littered with hats. A farmer along the way had erected a large blackboard on which were the words, "The War's Over." To handle the huge crowd Of service people expected in town today the mayor's coordinating council urged Spokane people to aid service centers by bringing cookies, sandwiches and doughnuts Lutheran S.

Showing his joy in the most expressive way he knew was an army sergeant riding in one of the cars which formed the endless parade downtown. His head wasil out the window, he was loudly and wildly waving his pants out of the side of the car.

In the Lutheran service center, a group of some 20 service men and a few service wives huddled tensely around the radio Until the news broke. Then the wives sat down and cried, and the soldiers and sailors hurried out to addl their to the general pandeninniUM. The wives were not alone with their tears, for in every group or standing alone were those who wept, or laughed shakily and blinked back the tears. The fiancee of an overseas service man who hurried down Riverside with a tear-wet face spoke for many when she said, "I'm going to church." Federal Building Emptied.

To manv of them who have constantly offered their prayers that peace would be declared and their loved ones would be returned to them the significance of the day when war was declared and the dry peace was announced has been of great moment. Just four years and eight months ago on the eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, which IM celebrated in the church on December 8, war was declared. Today is another great feast day in the Catholic church it is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Maryand on the eve of that feast President Truman told the world that peace had come.

During these four years and eight months of war Catholics of the city of Spokane and of the nation have prayed constantly to the Blessed Virgin that once more peace would be restored. NEARLY 5000 ATTEND V.F.W. CELEBRATION DANCE N.arly 5000 celebrated the end of the war last night at the Wash- ington state armory, dancing to the music of an 18-piece orchestra. The dance was sponsored by post 1435 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars as a benefit dance, under the leadership of R. A.

Bishop, post commander. "This seems a fitting way to cele brate V-J day and we believe this is one of the largest dances ever held in Spokane," a spokesman for the V. F. W. said.

The group in eluded many members of post 51 and couples from other. veterans' organizations. Dancing started at 9 p. m. and lasted until after Army Helps City Authorities in Curbing Celebrators.

As soon as the end of the war was announced yesterday afternoon Chief Gerald S. Swartout called to duty all regular Spokane police and all members of the uniformed auxiliary, in anticipation of a "large night." Capt: James B.

CPO Ernest Carli, In charge of the naval shore patrol unit, immediately increased the size of his detachment with 50 extra patrolmen, and was ready to ask higher naval authorities for more help if necessary. Two naval ambulances and their crew of medical corpsmen were directed to stand by.

Hunt, age 45, N727 Made lia, a restaurant operator, was taken to Deaconess hospital at 9 last night with severe knife wounds around his heart and left lung that might cause his death, police reported. O. L. Turner, age 69, a cook in the Pedicord hotel restaurant and a resident of the hotel, was being held last night in the city jail for Investigation following an allaged fight between him and the stabbed man, police said, The altercation is alleged to have occurred in Turner's room at the hotel, the door of which, police said, Hunt battered down. At the emergency hospital, where both men first were treated, it was found that Hunt suffered from several severe knife slashes that evidently were quite deep and attendants said he was In a serious, and possibly dying, condition.

Turner was treated for a battered nose, cut lip, and a wound apparently caused by his having been bitten on the lett upper arm. His condition is not believed to be serious, attendants said. Clarence Smith of the prosecutor's office said last night that no charges have yet been made in the case, and that it is under close investigation. Spokane's five biggest noises potentiallymade only one feeble' chirp in yesterday's peace celebration. The five huge steam-powered! sirens, installed at the start of the war as part of the city's air raid' warning system, were scheduled to blare out news of the surrender.

But in the pinch they flopped dismally. And this is how It happened: At 4:03 p. m. Jay Wallace, head' of the fire alarm room in the city hall, threw the switch operating electric relays which should have sent all five of the monsters roaring into action. Resultno pandemonium.

Nothing blew. The relay batteries, installed years ago, apparently were dead. At 4:20 ta. after much suspicious eyeing of the siren atop the central heating plant, the plant's chief engineer crawled up a ladder and set off the whistle by hand-turning the valve. It blew for two minutes.

Northern Pacific railroad men, after waiting for the siren on their roundhouse to blow, got impatient and, at 4:12 p. turned on their own roundhouse and locomotive whistles instead. The siren on the Great Northern roundhouse also failed to blow. Engineers tied down the whistle valves on their locomotives, how, ever and created bedlam anyway. Union Pacific employees reported the siren on their roundhouse didn't let out a peep.

The fifth siren, which was mounted at the McGoldrick lumber mill, was damaged in a blaze which swept the yard a few days ago. It hadn't a gasp left in it.

'rwo of the biggest smiles were on the faces of two Chinese boys wear-ii ing the uniform of the United States army, as they stood at Sprague and Howard watching the crowds go by.

Liquor stores were probably first to close, with their doors shut and locked almost before the words were out of the loudspeakers. Children to whom war has been the normal existence all their lives Is were looking on with bewildered 13 delight as the adults shouted anit ran along the streets as childrenI normally O. Evening traffic was like nothing Spokane ever has seen or probably I ever will see. Cars were packed so closely together on Sprague that I even the paper streamers couldn't get between them. City busses had I to alter their routes in a different; manner almost every trip ands those that usually followed Riverside and Sprague had to go to First and S'econd to get through or else to Main and Trent.

Lidgerwood and Boone busses were traveling on Main. As the evening progressed the mad bedlam grew worse. So loudli were the horns that conversation on the streets was impossible. crackers exploded underfoot every few steps. On the corner of Riverside and Monroe a lady stood playing the "Beer Barrel Polka" on an accordion, while another man stood behind a traffic cop imitating his every move.

A Northern Pacific train went through Spokane about 7 p. its whistle wide open all the way.

Workers in government offices leaned from their windows to watch the street scene as the notes of "The Star-Spangled Banner" blared through the long corridors from the radios that were in nearly every office. Court house employees gave forth with no rousing cheers, there WaS only a profound silence that spoke volumes. Slowly the little groups broke apart and employees turned hack to their jobs with faces wreathed In smiles.

Some women walked the halls with tears In their eyescrying because husbands, sons and sweethearts overseas would now he safe, and crying out of sheer relief that the long vigil was over, Jubilation Is Restrained.
