The JSps want more action to meet the growing crisis from the American armies, the air forces arid the'Tiavy and criticisms announced indicate signs of unrest that may reach revolution. —o There must be something wrong at Mattoon, where the restaurants and lunch rooms have closed. It’s hard to understand why the shortage of food there should be any worsa than in other parts of the ¥ country. o—o Chicago is flooded with counterfeit r4d stamps, which is not helping the meat situation a little bit. The rest of the country will watch the results there and if it turns out disastrously as it is sure to do, may profit from it. O—o The Mighty Seventh War Loan Campaign will close next Saturday. Will Indiana meet the quota? To do that her citizens must buy $6,000,000 worth of bonds daily this week. Let’s get this war over without inflation. Bonds will do both. o—o Morse than nine thousand Japs surrendered on Okinawa the last few days, unheard of before in tin Pacific war. Yesterday nearly 1,000 witfi leaflets in their hands emerged from caves and cane fields to give themselves up to the Yanks. Perhaps they are growing wiser. O—O Senator Willis will vote for ratification of the United Nations Charter, according to announcement ‘from Washington, which makes it just about unanimous. It really begins to look as though the leading nations of the world will make an earnest effort to prevent further wars. O—O Emperor Hirohito has issued instructions to the soldiers of that empire.io fight until they die, or commit Alarmed by the resulta „<>i\ Okinawa and in the Philippines, the Jap leaders are urging greater'loyalty in repelling the aninvasion of the mainland. It looks, like “curtains” for the Japanese soldiers. O—o President Truman impressed the public as well as the delegates to the world conference in his ad-

dress as the closing session Tuesday. He wants permanent peace and the friendship of the world and will urge the senate to speedily adopt the new Charter. President Truman is doing a difficult job well and is gaining the confidence of the people. O—o Go out to the east field of Ilan-na-Nuttman park tomorrow evening and enjoy the horse chow. There are sixty-eight entries and you will be surprised at the thrills. Tlie event opens at eight o’clock with Col. Lee McDuffee of LaGrange as master of ceremonies. o—o Prime Minister Churchill is in the midst of a red hot political campaign and today is concluding a one thousand-mile speaking tour. You may not agree with his policies but you cannot help admiring the courage and the great ability of the man. His record the past few years lias been unexcelled in the history of Great Britain. He wants a large majority in the House of Commons or none, for lie believes it is important for the future of his country and he is making his campaign along that line. O—O Chicago truck drivers are going back to work, but some are protesting because the official order from the Union heads was given without a called meeting! Until the matter is adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned, the public will feel nervous. A similar strike last month was apparently settled but immediately broke out again.

—o—Inflation is ruining China to an extent that equals the cost of war. A Fort Wayne soldier writing homo from there tells of eggs costing twelve dollars apiece, a pot of water to make tea sells for $20.00, a pair of stockings goes for $1,500 Chinese dollars, which is three months’ pay for a soldier of that nation. It must never come to this country. If it does, your savings will be wiped out completely. The best way to prevent inflation is to invest in war bonds. O—o Tiie future prosperity of American agriculture, once the current war boom has run its course, will depend on the existence of an economy of abundance rather than scarcity in this country, according to a group of the nation’s leading agricultural authorities participating in a symposium of the Life Insurance Companies in America, made public today. Four essential elements for the development of such an economy, the experts say, are: A high volume of industrial activity and employment. A thriving international trade to provide foreign markets for American farm products, such as wheat, cotton, and tobacco. Freedom of enterprise with a minimum of regulation and restrictions. Prevention of inflation. Nineteen farm experts, in eighteen states from coast to coast, took part in the symposium.

Job for General Ike The cheers that greeted General Eiseuljower's homecoming had scarcely died down when somebody proposed that the general be made secretary of state. That’s a ■ typical reaction, of course. A people’s admiration for the triumphant but weary hero often manifests itself in a desire to honor him by saddling him with more work. General Eisenhower has accomplished what is perhaps the most tremendous job of its kind that any man ever tackled, and has engiI neered one of the world’s greatest victories. Perhaps the kindest thing his countrymen could do for him after that would be to let. him sit dowp and catch his breath. And yet it’s easy to see the sense as well as the adulation in proposing the general for an important government position of some sort. Any man who can do the mill-

tary job that he did, take commands as well as give them, maintain peace and harmony in a staff of contrasting, temperamental, international generals, talk the eloquent. and determined Winston Churchill out of some of his most cherished plans, make some of history’s most fateful decisions and still keep grinning, receive four nations’ top honors and still keep his modesty, make a speech that Londoners compared with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address —any man who can do all those things is just inviting more work for a country which not only honors him but needs him. —Huntington HeraldPress. o ........ .......... ..

YANK STRENGTH (Continued From Page One) sweepers were clearing Balikpapan bay, Tokyo said, adding that “it is evident that the enemy is aiming at a landing operation.” Far eastern air force bombers made two more raids on Balikpapan, dropping 220 tons of explosives on the town and the nearby Manggar airdrome. The liberation of Luzon was announced in Manila by MacArthur five months and 19 days after American troops went ashore at Lingayen Gulf. A linkup of the 37‘h infantry and the 11th airborne divisions completed the conquest of the Cagayan valley and sent the last Japanese forces fleeing into the hills. It estimated there still were 15,000 or so enemy troops in three pockets in the mountains. The Luzon campaign cost the enemy at least 115,593 dead, and a communique said many more graves had been found. American casualties totalled 3,793 dead, 34 missing and 11,351 wounded. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz disclosed that American ' casualties in the battle of Okinawa totalled 46,319. 0 J.
