Dealer Expects New I Fords In October — W. E. Brant, local Fort dealer, i eypect# new model Fords 'by next October based on plane outlined I at a recent meeting of Ford execuIllv>* iu Detroit to convert the huge i plants to peace time production. J. 'ft. Davis, director of sales and i advertising indicated that the post ' war line of Ford, Mercury and LinI coin automobiles would be greatly ■ expanded to provide models and i body styles to cover every price | field from the lowest to the finest

in style and performance in ine automotive industry. The meeting was highlighted by a luncheon address from Henry Ford 11. Mr. Ford spoke to the entire Ford supervisory family of approximately 200 executives and depar linen t heads. i Mr. Ford covered the trend of the 1 automotive business for the past . 10 years and projected iu detail the , engineering, manufacturing and distribution plans of the company that I eventually will provide thoueands t of additional jobs. He outlined the company's pro- , posed 150 million dollar expansion [ program, designed to step up Ford’s , share in the automotive business, t emphasizing, however that the company still has a war job to do. ! Mr. Ford explained that "many I of our vyar contracts have already ■ been terminated, and more of them II will be soon, 'because we were prin- ’ cipally engaged in manufacturing I material for the European theater. | “A* our services become less and I less- necessary to the direct war effort, he said, “we will complete ' the shift from war work to mass I assembly of automobiles just as j rapidly as government restrictions i I are removed. | 0 i- Strikes In Rubber Plants Continuing Akron, 0.. headquarters of the nation's rubber industry, was the core of strike trouble today. There more than half the country's 50,000 idle workers were away from their jobs at the Firestone and I Goodyear tire and rubber com- ■ panies. Despite threats of loss of draft ' deferments and cherished union | contract provisions, approximately 33,000 CIO United Rubber Workers remained on strike. In another rubber production disI pute, the war labor board stepped into a work stoppage of 1,100 workers at the Ohio Rubber Co., Willoughby, Ohio. Other strikes were scattered over the eastern half of the country. At Allentown, Pa., some 3,000 Mack ; Manufacturing Co. employes idled for the fourth day yesterday in sup- | port of 4,900 striking employee at the company's Plainfield, and New I Brunswick, N. J., plants. o Liberty is deathless; freedom is immortal.—W. A. White.

Republicans Ask For Easier Peace Capehart Thinks Japs Are Quitting Washington, July 3—(UP) — i The administration today faced . demands from Republican senators for an exact definition of uns conditional surrender terms for r Japan. ; Officials also were called on to let the American people in on . “peace feelers” which one senator [ insisted have been made despite i state department denials. Republican leader Wallace H. ! White, Jr.. R., Me., asked for an : “explicit” statement from President Truman on the nature of . surrender conditions shortly after . the president presented the San Francisco treaty to the senate. Such a statement, White said, , “might soften the Japanese will to continue a hopeless struggle . and might hasten the day of sur- , render.’’ At a press conference, Sen. Homer E. Capehart, R., Ind., who said he was trying to find out “if there isn't some way to sto,p this war and save lives,” declared he had information that the Japanese made peace overtures a month ago. He said the government should keep the American people'informed on “peace feelers” and tell the Japanese “on what basis we would accept conditional or unconditional surrender.” Other senators, however, refused to speak for quotation and generally termed the subject of unconditional surrender "dynamite.” Byrnes Is Sworn In Office This Morning Washington, July 3. —> (UP) — James F. Byrnes took the oath as secretary of state today and promised to uphold “the basic principles i of our foreign policy.” Byrnes took the oath at an unusually crowded White House ceremony. Practically the entire Senate, the cabinet, many member of the

house, the state department staff < and the White House staff packed I President Truman’s office to such an extent that It necessary to | move the ceremony outside to the 1 rose garden. ALLIES ADVANCE ; (Continued From Page One) , the big invasion. The Tokyo radio said the whole airforce would ap- i pear in “one stroke” for what it i called “This last battle.” To insure against that, Marine i corsairs made a .series of sweeps , over Kyushu in which they shot down eight enemy planes, and other American warplanes hit suicide plane bases on the Sakiehima islands. i A Dornei reporter on the southern . home inland of Kyushu reported the . people there were sure they would . feel the first blows of the invasion

Another Japanese broadcast oaid that Japanese military authorities hfive decided to form an army of volunteers in Indo-China, whose border recently was crossed 'by Chinese troops. Tokyo maid the i move was “in answer to the patriotism of the inhabitants who have risen to attain independence.” Japanese troops In northern Luzon in the Philippines were fleeing into mountain hideouts, pursued by American and Filipino troops. The enemy force in the upper Cagayan valley appeared .headed for the Sierra Madre mountains east, of the valley, which have never been explored by White men.
