SPEED LIMIT LIFTED (Continued From Page One) , cials to cooperate to the fullest extent in seeing that reckless driving is not allowed on our highways.” the Governor added. Gates called attention to the results of a traffic death survey in Indiana which showed a 32 per cent increase in traffic accidents since V-E day. "I urge our citizens to keep in mind the fact that the coneerva-i lion of tires at the present time is still as essential a*s it was during war time and that it is still the patriotic duty of all citizens to cooperate with this appeal for the protection and safety of themselves and fellow citizens,” Gates said. RED CROSS SERVICE (Continued From Page Ona) ment will increase,” Mr. Bell said. "The Red Cross is one of the several agencies authorized by the government to handle such claims for hospitalization, pensions, and other legal benefits. Assistance to families of veterans, as well as those of servicemen, will also claim a large share of Red Cross effort. "At present the American Red Cross is calling for 3,000 medical, social, and hospital recreation workers to carry on its program among the wounded and hospitalized. And until our boys are brought home from abroad, the American Red Cross will be active in many foreign lands." Chapter activities must be continued with renewed vigor, Mr. Bell asserted. The civilian blood donor program under which Red Cross chapters may recruit volunteer blood donors for recognized local and regional medical agencies gives promise of the same far-reaching benefits as the program conducted for the armed forces, he said, while instruction in heme nursing, nutrition, and first aid. water safety and accident prevention offers other outlets of service that are of extreme importance to our local and national welfare.

95th Division Men : Protest Transfers Pacific Occupation ‘ Duty Is Protested 1 New York, Aug. 20—(UP)—European combat veterans of the 95th 1 infantry division protested today against their scheduled re-deploy-1 ment for Pacific occupation duty. Una telegram to the United ’ Press from Hattiesburg, Miss., where the units have reassembled furlough, men of the 379th regiment charged that the War Department was wrong in saying the division was among the last to go into action in Europe. “Approximately 30 more divisions came into combat after we did.” the men protested. The unit, they said, went overseas in August, 1944 and there were then approximately 30 units in action. It saw its first fighting last October, they added, and spen: 104 continuous days on the line. The War Department has stated that the men will replace Pacific veterans eligible for discharge. "Who is going to replace us?” The men demnaded. “Must we wait another two to five years on some godforsaken island before we too can go home? Why can’t those men who have not done as much as we have be sent in our places? . . . We have done our share.” The protest was joined by a telegram from a spokesman for tho 95th signal company: “These men have participated in three major battles and fought with Patton, Simpson and Montgomery. Please check our record and do us justice.” Fire Damage Damage estimated at $200,000,000 was caused by the Chicago tire trf 1871. WAINWRIGHT IS (Continued From Page One) the required steps to effect the release of all such personnel regardless of nationality. He reported that rescue teams already had dropped in Peiping, and Weihsien, both in China, and in Keijo, Korea, in addition to Sian. The teams were made up of six volunteers each from the office of strategic services. Each team included a radio operator, a medical doctor and an interpreter. Wainwrights’ friends hoped that the man they iiad affectionately called "skinny,” who was forced into unconditional surrender on Corregidor May 6, 1942, would reach Manila in time to participate in the Japanese surrender ceremonies. Gen. Wedemeyer said that sixman American army parachute teams consisting of doctors and signalmen had parachuted into the Mukden area on Aug. 16. One team landed within 300 yards of a prisoner of war enclo’sure and the inmates cheered lustily as they watched the parachutes slowly descend. Wainwright was liberated front a camp at Sian, 100 miles northeast of Mukden. Messages radioed back said the prisoners’ overall condition was "much better than expected.” Wainwright was held in a small camp with seven other Americans. 16 British, and 10 Dutch including Tjarda Van Starkenborg Stachouwer, who was governor-general of the Dutch East Indies when they fell to the Japanese invaders. Wainwright, himseti, was reported in good shape, and stretcher cases in the camp were described as “no more than normal.’’ Japanese troops apparently made no attempt to interfere with the rescue operations. ABC correspondent JSd Souder Jr., broadcasting from Chungking, said that Marine Maj. James P. S’. Devereaux, who grimly defended Wake island shortly after Pearl Harbor, had been reported safe in a Japanese prison camp near Peiping. There was no indication whether or not Devereaux had left the camp.) MACARTHUR SENDS (Continued From Pago On») the preliminary surrender talks at his headquarters. But through his chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland, he gave the Japanese specific orders couched in such blunt, clear language that there appeared no likelihood of further stalling by Tokyo. When the glum Japanese delegates left Manila’s shell-scarred city hall under a strong American military police detail, they had completed all arrangements for the landing of American and Allied troops in Japan. It was believed that members of the Allied staffs now in Manila probably will participate in the landing on Japan but only American occupation forces were expected at the start since there is not enough time to minister forces from the other nations.

Motorists who were unable to re-1 sist the temptation to step on the j gas paid when their tires gave out I after a day’s steady driving and groaned to a stop along the crowd- . ed highways. ! In many states, lifting of . the . 35 miles per hour limit had little ■ effect. In some, the ruling never was adopted. In others it remained in effect pending action by the , legislatures. lowa state police reported two! deaths in the early hours of Sunday and estimated traffic at 3CO percent above the wartime normal. Traffic violators were threatened - with heavy penalties. The resort areas of Miami and Miami Beach had a very consider-1 able traffic increase but no similar increase in reckless driving. ; The same was true in the vaca-| tion lands of Minnesota and Wis-i cousin where drivers clogged th?. highways but generally obeyed the I traffic rules.

LABOR MATTERS TOP (Continued From Page One) the reconversion period. On the wage front, the WLB was authorized to ignore the little steel yardstick and to approve or order any wage increases necessary to the effective transition of the economy. | The only limit on wage increases henceforth is that they must not j result in price boosts. If they do, they must have approval of the WLB and office of economic stabilization. No wage increases in disput cases are to be retroactive beyond the date of the issuance of the order. Organized labor’s reaction to Mr. Truman’s order was favorable. Spokesmen for the American federation of labor and congress of industrial organizations said it was! a step in the direction toward full I production and employment. They ! felt, however, that congress must ! still pass much of the legislation , supported by labor in order to prb-! vide a more adequate cushion for : the shock of reconversion. o I know I can never be happy un- ! less I can keep from feeling pity for myself.-Earl kiniy.
