RIMIMBIR PAPIR IS A 1 WAR MATERIAL SHORTAGE I I WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 ttl.R) Four times after Japan asked Soviet Russia In mid-June to act as mediator in ending the war, the State Department told American reporters that no peace offers had been received from Japan.

Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov told a press conference In Moscow yesterday that Japan's mid-June request for Russia to mediate was made through her Ambassador in Moscow. Japanese Emperor Hirohito followed up the request with a personal message to Generalissimo Josef Stalin. Late in June reports of peace feelers began to circulate here and In most of the Allied capitals abroad.

On June 29, Acting Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew was asked by State Dspartment reporters to comment on a statement by Sen. Homer E. Capehart, Ind. The Senator had said that Japan had made peace, offers "within recent weeks." "We have received no peace offer from the Japanese government through either official or unofficial channels," Grew replied.

On July 10, Grew issued a long statement reiterating this govern-; ment's position toward Japan that the terms were unconditional i surrender. In that statement, Grew also said: "We have received no peace offers from the Japanese government either through official i' or unofficial channels." On July 18, Grew was asked two questions by reporters. They were: "Have you any information on reports that Japan has made peace overtures to the Soviet Premier? "Is it true that the United States has not received any official or unofficial peace overtures from Japan?" Grew's only comment was that his July 10th statement "still held." On July 26, Grew was asked for comment on reports that Japan had asked for more lenient terms. The Acting Secretary of State again said that his July 10th statement still stood. Yesterday, the following question was submitted to the information section of the State Department for submission to Secretary of State James F.

Brynes: "Has the United States received any direct or indirect, official or unofficial suggestions from Japan that she Is ready to consider surrendering." No formal statement was forthcoming. But a spokesman reiterated that there was nothing further than Grew's July 10th statement. By midafternoon the Russian announcement was made and Molotov was revealing that in mid-June he had transmitted to President Truman and the then British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, the request of the Japanese Emperor for Russia to mediate the war.

9. (U.PJ Five men were killed, and 11 injured when the Motor Minesweeper YMS39 hit a mine and sank off Ba-likpapan, Borneo, last June, the Navy reported today. The vessel, which had a crew of 37 officers and men, went down within 10 seconds after the blast. Its loss was first announced by the Navy July 13. RIDGE Paris Goes on Vacation Spree Dr.

Enrico Fermi, now of Columbia University, New York, was" one of the first scientists to discover the energy potentialities of Uranium 235. Before coming to this country, Dr. Fermi's experiments produced what he reported to be a new chemical element, Uranium. 93. He collaborated in development of the atomic bomb.

Prof. Alfred O. Nier, above, 35-year-old scientist of the Univer sity of Minnesota, is credited with isolation of a minute fraction of a gram of Uranium 235 with which experiments on the smashing of the atom were conducted. Niqr's findings were completed in February, 1940, with use of a mass spectrometer. Bombardment of his U-235 by slow neutrons in Columbia University's cyclotron produced atomic explosions.

Through Dr. Niels Bohr, above, Denmark's Nobel Prize winner, first experiments on smashing the atoms of Uranium 235 were made possible on Columbia University's cyclotron. Through his son-in-law, Dr. R. Frisch, who had received results of Dr.

Lisa Meitner's experiments in Germany in 1939, Bohr learned of uranium's potentialities while conducting studies in New York. These led to development of the atomic bomb. air depots from Oran and Casablanca, Africa, all the way to Nancy, France. The Squadrons of the group worked separataly, at different airfields and sometimes in different countries, until February, 1945, when all three squadrons met in Nancy. While in France, the 19th Air Depot Group worked on fighter planes of the First TAC and AAF which at that time was supporting the Seventh Army.

After V-E Day, the group was shifted to the Ninth Air Force for redeployment. Captain Wassell has the E.A.M.E. Ribbon and Battle Stars. Lieut. Paul John Completes Training PYOTE ARMY AIR FIELD, Aug.

9. Second Lieutenant Paul P. John, of Mount Carmel, has completed his final-stage training as a member of a B-29 crew at Pyote Army Air Field. Pyote is one of the eight Superfortress training fields of the Second Air Force where individual crew members are trained to live and fly as a combat team. After completing their training here the crews are sent to combat theaters to do their part in the B-29 bombing missions against the enemy.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth John, 320 west Avenue, Mount Carmel, he entered the service in June, 1943. A graduate of Mount Carmel High School, class of 1939, and Dickinson Junior College, class of 1943, he serves as flight engineer on his Su perfortress. 1 Buying War Bonos Is one of the most vital phases of our Wax effort Bridget A.

Quinn Dies In Hospital Miss Bridget Quinn, 67, of 530 Center street, Ashland, admitted to the Ashland State Hospital on May 28, died at 1:05 o'clock this morning. Navy Recruiting Officer To Be Here Chief John J. H. Phillips of the U. S.

Navy Recruiting Station, Wil-liamsport, announced a visit to Mount Carmel on August 15th at the Masonic Hall from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. The purpose of this visit is to increase enlistment for 17 year old men in the Regular Navy and Naval Reserve, give Eddy tests for Radio Technician to men 17 to 50, and to accept applications of young women 20 to 36 in the Waves.

The Navy is particularly desirous of enlisting 17 year old men in the regular Navy for a minority enlistment. A minority enlistment expires one day before the twenty-first birthday and qualifies a man for the special advantages of the peace time Navy. Naval Reserve enlistment continues for duration and six months. Chief Phillips also announces that men 18 to 30 who come under the Selective Service system may now take the Eddy test for Radio Technician prior to their ended their tedious wait for travel que, to say the least. Most 24-hour "waiters" bring folding chairs or stools as well as food and drink.

Some play cards. The older women knit or mend until the light fades. Hawkers come around with sandwiches, fruit, and soft drinks, which they sell at top prices. Fifty cents is the minimum price for anything and they do a brisk trade. "PRIORITY" PASSENGERS "Priority" card holders, such as disabled veterans of both world wars and blind people, can make good money outside stations.

Their cards enable them to move up to the top of any line, whether it is for abus, food or tickets. As was to be expected, sharp-witted compatriots were ready to make use of them. Obviously the "priority" travelers could only visit one station a day. But there are four major Parisian terminals, and at $10 a ticket the game is worth while. Moreover, a blind person, for example, can claim a second ticket for the person accompanying him or her.

The vacationist's trials are not over when and if he acquires the precious ticket which will take him to his own particular Eden. Trains now operating in France usually seat about 900. Seven hundred of these places can be booked. The Bridget Qumn, Of Ashland, Dies Miss Bridget A. Quinn, of 530 Centre street, Ashland, native and former resident of Centfalia, died early today in Ashland State Hospital where she had been a patient since last May.

She was a daughter of the late Patrick and Catherine (McNeils) Quinn, of Centralia, and for the past 35 years had lived in Ashland where she was a member of St. Joseph's Church. A brother, Edward, preceded her in death five years ago. There are no immediate survivors, she having been the last of her family. Among surviving nieces and nephews is Cpl.

Francis Ryan who arrived home on furlough Monday after 22 months in Europe. Cpl. Ryan, who made his home with Miss Quinn, was an A. P. employe in Mount Carmel at one time.

The funeral will be held Monday morning from the Burke funeral home, Ashland, with services in St. Joseph's Church at 9:30 o'clock and interment in St. Ignatius cemetery, Centralia. There will be viewing at the funeral parlors Sunday evening and also on Monday morning before time of services. pre-induction physical examination i they are not classified 1-A-O, 1-A (B), 4-C, 4-E, 4-F or any classification.

They must take the test 10 days before their actual induction, no later. The test may be taken at Williamsport Recruiting Station or Mount Carmel, Masonic Hall, on August 15, 1945. Men 17 and 38 to 50 are also eligible to take the test.

Westminsfer Society On Outing At Beury's Members of the Westminster Society of First Presbyterian church, this city, and their families, were guests yesterday afternoon and last evening of Mr.

and Mrs. Harwood Lyons at the Lyons cottage, Beury's Grove. The price of victory must be paid with War Bonds. permits and tickets, and are remainder are left for the wounded, the halt, the lame and the blind for prisoners and deportees unable stand In line, and for last-minute passengers to whom it la a life-or-death matter to make that train. As in every other country, France's railways are working at a fifth of their prewar capacity.

Heavy military needs still have to be met. Many bridges are still under repair. How to cope with the passenger problem is something the railway managements are practically unable to solve. TOO MANY TRAVELERS "Never in the history of the railways have so many French people wanted to travel," declared a high official. Thousands of prewar motorists now have to use trains.

In the first two weeks of July. 103,000 vacationers left the Gare de Lyon in 157 trains, as against 103,000 in 683 trains in 1939. Trains with seating room for 800 leave with double that number. It Is evident, however, that the cost in physical and nervous exhaustion which Parisians have to pay -in order to spend their first "free" vacations away from the city must be worth it, as evidenced by the long, patient lines outside the stations.

Most people go through something akin to purgatory to get to whatever haven they have chosen for their first "free" vacation since the occupation of France. They wait in line 18, 24, aha even 36 hours Just to secure a travel permit which in turn will give them the right four days later to buy their raiload tickets and make reservations on a train. But it happens time and again that when they go to make their reservations, the quota is already full. That means another trip to the station.

Families "swefet out" reservations in relays, but there and hundreds of travelers who have no family to fall back on. They have to do it themselves or pay somebody to do it for them. This had led to a new racket-standing in "train lines, for a con sideration. The charge for a day's waiting Is $5, double that amount for 24 hours. Old war pensioners, unemployed men and and even old ladies have been raking in a tidy sum of money at the game.

The scene outside the principal Paris railway stations la pictures -wissisiia Even the barber shop at Oak Ridge, Tenn, never echoed a word about the atomic bomb. The 75,000 residents of the town were employed in manufacturing the explosive. Both barber O. A. Goodwin and Charles Greiner were shocked at the newspaper announcement, despite the fact that they had been working on atomic bombs since work first started at Oak Ridge..
