PEACE MOVE IS MADE (Continued From Page One) south of Vladivostok. The new seaborne drives apparently were aimed at expanding that foothold and thrusting inland to seal off the base of the Korean peninsula. Almost 500 miles to the west, other Soviet forces struck hard toward the Yellow Sea coast in a bid to complete the envelopment from that direction. Th<> southern wing of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky’s transBaikal army captured the Jehol province city of Chihfeng, 150 miles west of the seacoast, after a lightning, 120-mile advance from the outer Mongolian border. A thrust to the sea in that sector would cut off the Japanese in Manchuria from their forces in China. o All this talk about the common man i«s most confusing to those who don't know God has make no other kind. We are far more likely to find fault with our circumstances than with ourselves. People seldom become better, apart (apart) from religions influence.

IS (I P) Al WPB advisory committee recoin- } mended today that production controls over men's shirts, shorts, pa- ! jamas, and sports shirts be re- i tained until materials become more | plentiful. The interests of both the consumer and the manufacturer will be best served, the advisory commi'tee said, by the retention of I controls over production and styling. A West Virginia farmer reported that he found pig bristles in the stomachs of two foxes. He doesn’t claim that foxes catch pigs, but he wants to know how the bristleo got there.

Death I.ure for Insects Both green and red lights mean danger—death to insects—and dinj ner to trout. Submerged red and ' green neon lights are used to lure I flying insects to trout and other fish ! rearing ponds at the Spearfish, S. D. ■ station of the bureau of fisheries. Insects are attracted to the water's surface by the lights under water, the fish do the catching themselves. Usual method heretofore was hanging an ordinary drop-cord lamp with reflector, letting insects be lured ! by the reflection in the water. Lights beneath the surface are better but j hatchery officials are not sure that j color enhances the catch. ! n Happiness is t'hat peculiar sensation you acquire when you are ! too busy to be miserable.

Gen. Prince Naruhiko Higashi-Kuni

EMPEROR HIROHITO, according to radio Tokyo, has called on a member of the imperial family, Gen. Prince Naruhiko Higashi - Kuni, above, grandson of the late Emperor Meiji, to establish Japan’s new cabinet to replace the members who submitted collective resignations following the acceptance of Allied surrender terms. The broadcast also reported that the portfolio of foreign affairs might be given to either Hachiro Arita or Mamoru Shigemitsu. It is expected the new foreign minister will be the emperor’s representative at the meeting with Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Manila to formulate plans for the signing of the surrender documents. (International).
