Autumn is near—radio stars are returning to the air. —o Perhaps if the real leaders of labor and capital get together for a few confabs they will each find the other, not a "bad feller.’’ u—u Speeding is just as much a law violation in Indiana now as it was in the prewar days. Police authorities are keeping an eye on those who thus flaunt the law. O—O Herr Hitler bad an income of from two to ten million dollars a year as result of his organization of the Reich. Many believe he was overpaid. —o The cool weather is refreshing b.it it gives signs of an early frost and that would be disastrous. Lets hope it stays away a fortnight or two. o—o

Leaves are starting to fall and it won’t be long until raking will be the popular yard eport. The street department officials request that you do not burn them on the pavements. —o Buy an extra bond this month hud remember that Uncle Sam will have to have money the next Several months to finish the job gnd send the troops on their home--ward march. O_O The baseball battles grow In interest as the deadline draws nearer and it looks like a photographic finish. In another month these athletes will be getting ready to move out to let the pigskin bregade take over the arenas. o—o Along with the other nations of the allied forces, we imagine the Chinese are observing V-J days with about as much joy as any of them. They have carried a heavy load for a decade but now are coming into their own. —o "It isn't possible to reduce taxes and increase public benefits at the same lime." declares a candidate for office. He'll never get anywhere in politics—he knows too much about arithmetic.—Cincinnati En quirer.

o—o The release age for members of the U. S. army has been reduced to thirty-five years Many of the boys will now be coming in each week and within a few months the greater number should be back to render help in building the peace days. —o If we can pi-oduce for war we Can meet any peace time problem. If we will realize the Importance of getting back to normal living, of being fair and patriotic, of helping each other and following the Golden Rule, we will soon be happier than for a long, long time.

The double holiday brought a dozen deaths from accidental causes In Indiana and the total record over the country may exceed 300. It redds like pre-war reports and indicates that we have not improved greatly by the long holiday of gas rationing. O—O According to those who know there will be plenty of "drinkin” liquor soon but it will be a long time before any “fine” grades can be secured. It takes two or three years to turn out the better grades, the distillers say and the corn Is needed to fatten live stock more than it is to make bourbon, ft might be a good time to swear off. O—O While the rest of the midwest may be praying for Jack Frost to stay away, it is probable that the people in the vicinity of Rockford, Illinois will welcome it for that Is perhaps the only thing that will stop the epiderifle of infantile paralysis that has been raging there for many weeks, strickening some 225 people and taking the lives of thirty.

O—O Lt. General Tamashita, the "butcher of Bataan” came out of his lair in the mountains near Baguia in the Philippines to turn his sword over to the Yankees. It must have been a bitter pill for he surely knows that his fate will ho the extreme penalty for his atrocious acts. Many acts of war are excusable but cruelty and unnecessary murders are as criminal in war as in peace time. O—O Labor has a right to feei proud of the splendid record made during the war. Os course there were strikes, walk-outs and other happenings but on the whole, labor kept right on and the best evidence of a job well done is the fact that this nation produced more than all the rest of the world combined. Without the working men and women of America the war could not have been won. O_o

Genera] MacArthur wa« eloquent, just and stern in his brief address and in the manner in which he conducted the surrender ceremonies. He is a capable man who will soon convince the Japs that they will have to be truthful and honest in their dealings. With him in charge in Tokio and General Eisenhower looking after our Interests in ‘Europe, we may feel sure of getting ths best results possible for us and for all the world. —o—o It was a great week end. With the surrender papers signed and delivered, the first Labor Day in four years when thoee who work with their hands could lay down

their tools, millions of folk relaxed as they have not done in half a decade. The forgotten event aad President Truman has promised the men and women in the service that they will be returned home as soon as possible. Now we must all aid in bringing order out of I confusion that war has brought. America has won a great war and there are signs we may win enduring peace. The week end vo s therefore not only Sunday and Labor day but the hour for genuine thanksgiving.

Sanderson of Shelton, Wash., commander of the fourth marine aircraft wing, signed for the Allies. Sakaibara said the Japanese garrison, already suffering from malrtutrition, had sufficient rations left for only 17 days. Two thousand of the garrison died from starvation and allied causes and 1,000 were killed in the invasion and by subsequent American air and sea bombardments. He said his men were so weak that they would have been unable to sabotage installations even if they had been so inclined. Surrender instructions for Lt. Gen. Hitoshi Imakura’s southeast ern army were handed his representatives aboard the Australian warship Vendetta at an hour-long conference off Rabaul yesterday. The plans call for Imakura to go aboard the British aircraft carrier Glory at 9 a. m. tomorrow to sign the surrender terms for 89,000 troops in New Britain, 12,400 on New Ireland, 14,250 on New Guinea and 23,400 in the Solomon archipelago.

Douglas Mac- I Arthur’s supreme command. « Higashi-Kuni said the war had been brought to an end “solely through the benevolence of our . sovereign” and warned the Japanese people that their duty now lay in "absolute obedience to the imperial will.” The government informed the diet that Japan had lost 51,109 out of her 62,795 —or five out of every six—planes and 684 out of her 1,217 warships during the war. None of her 12 battleships is seaworthy and only two of her 25 aircraft carriers are “actually capable of navigation," the government said. In tracing the factors that led to Japan’s capitulation. HigashiKuni revealed that: 1. American air raids cut Japanese production to 25 percent of the pre-war figure long before the introduction of the atomic bomb. 2. The coal shortage had become so acute in the final months i of the war that many factories were pn the point of closing down for that reason alone. i 3.

The ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, targets of the only two atomic bombs dropped during the war, were “too ghastly to look upon.” 7. Diminishing supplies of industrial salt from the Asiatic continent began to cut into Japanese munitions production in mid-1945. 8. The war situation first turned against Japan with the loss of Guadalcanal, her downfall began with the fall of the Marianas, and the loss of Okinawa completed a blockade of the home islands.

SYNOPSIS TERRY ARNOLD, a young Vermont newspaperwoman, has written a fairlv successful novel. To gather material for a second book she has gone to ths Argentine, her subject matter to be the wealthy playboy set of that Latin-American country. TEStERDAY: Terry, who has won a considerable sum the racehorse. Ultimo Ventura, meets the owner of the horse, Brooks Kimberly, who invites her to join him, his Corinne Artigas, and a £iend. Raff Cordoba, in a celebration or tne horse’s victory. * CHAPTER SIX AS THE party of four crossed the dining room Terry could hear the ripple of comment that followed them. They were stopped again and again by congratulating friends and acquaintances. Each time Terry was introduced. She was exhilarated by the time they reached their table, but her happiness was abruptly jolted by a whisper from the next table. . American heiress . . . The blond Cordoba seated her, laughed. “That scowl! Do you object to being called ‘heiress’’"

•T. do,” Terry said softly but f fiercely, ‘‘because it isn't so. Some , newsmen at the airport mistook me for Miss Ainsworth and built up the , legend. I did everything but knock • out their teeth, but they still believe it;" He was gazing at the lights in her hair, and the brilliant blue of her eyes with charmed admiration. . "I would believe anything you told me,” she said. Brooks’ fiancee scrutinized her again with her lovely black eyes. “But you ARE from North America?” she murmured. “ Yes,T Terry said. “I came down to—" Her natural inclination toward truth was halted by sudden caution. Fitz had said, “If you should meet any of the elect down there, for heaven’s sake, don’t tell them you’re a writer. They’re allerI gic to writers, or being exploited.” Terry finished lamely that she came down to see the country. It had always fascinated her. Well, she told herself, that was the truth in away. ■ Cordoba raised his wine glass. J “May you learn to love Argentina V as I love North America,” he said. They drank a toast to North America and then a second to South America. And then finally tc L Ultimo Ventura. The dinner passed swiftly, enjoyably. “The custom I like best in North .

It was in the new, i famed skyscraper building, modern, 1 Sumptuous, masculine. Raff’s paint- ‘ ings adorned the walls. "Just a hobby," he told Terry lightly. “I have a profession." “A professional hobby, you mean,” Corrine murmured wickedly. They had stopped In to see a magazine Raff had found that day containing pictures of Ultimo Ven- ' tura. Terry admired the beautiful 1 horse, but ,h er gaze wandered to the ! pictures of Brooks, in riding habit, r in front of “Windemere,” a fabu- ‘ lous Norman castle. ’ “Your home?” she asked Brooks. Brooks’ eyes lighted with sudden , pride. "That’s the old place,” he ' said quietly. ’ “It’s—beautiful,” Terry breathed. “Thank you.” There was real

gratitude behind the reserve in his t voice. Raff broke in gayly. “It’s the fin- < est estancia in the Argentine. ' That’s why I spend most of my ’ time there.” “You dog,” laughed Corrine. They went night clubbing then, visiting all the brilliant spots that i Terry had looked at longingly on so many lonesome nights. It was a triumphal march. Everywhere they were known. Everywhere they were toasted, congratulated on winning the race. Everywhere were photographers waiting to get their pictures. Brooks was increasingly irritated as the photographers continued to insist he pose in.the foreground. Raff winked at Terry. “Brooks is running for the Chamber of Deputies from our province,” he murmured. “These pictures will make i wonderful political fodder." Brooks frowned blackly at him. , “I didn’t run my horse as a political i maneuver,” he snapped. “But darling,” Corinne protested . humorously, “everyone knows that. l It’s simply a divine coincidence that . you have won just at the start of i your campaign. It would be ridicuj lous not to take advantage of it'.” 5 The La Condra featured the ! city’s best rhumba band. Terry laughed when Raff insisted they ti dance. Dancing to a rhumba was a t South American art, she reminded o him.
