have the opportunity to go forward rapidly but it will require cooperation of capital and labor. —o Emperor Herohito is one Nip who seems to realize they have lost the war. He han commanded the Diet to help build peace by "keeping a good face among nations i of the world.” Since his word is considered law, It should make the job much easier for the allies under General MacArthur. A third of the U. S. troops that were in Europe on V-E day have been shipped out of Europe it is announced. There were 3,070,000 there when the war against Germany ended and of these 1,058,455 have'been sent out. most of them home. And it should even go faster the next ninety days. —o The schools of Decatur and Adams county are now in full swing with attendance up to last year and in some instances ahead. There are a few less at -the JuniorSenior high school but it is expected this will he more than made up in a few days. We are proud of our schools and we believe they equal those to be found any where in America.

o—o American lads are in Tokyo and thousands of others will move in as the days grow into weeks. They are taking o/er and while the average citizen of that once fair land doesn't seem to realize it, he is living under a new regime that will provide him more freedoms and a better chance to live his own life. And the Yankee soldiers will help them reach that conclusion. —o Immediate construction of homes in this part of the state will total two million dollars, according to R. Earl Peters of the EHA. He is not guessing either for that amount of building is either under construction or has been authorized. And this is just the start on what will probably be the greatest construction era in all time. -0 The bombing of Japan just about wrecked them and its easy to understand why they threw in the sponge. Surveys now being made by American soldiers and newspaper men show the Yanks

aimed true for almost every refinery and amunition plant in the country was knocked out. Even without the atom bombs, the Nips had reached the end to effective resistence. .. , College football will have new interest this year as the schools return to civilian attendance rather than sailors and soldiers. For several years the teams have been made up largely of men in the service,

taking away some of the old rah rah enthusiasm of the students and the fans but this year will aee a return to the prewar days snd huge crowds are predicted for the important games. —o The outlook for greatly reduced taxes in the immediate future dimmed this week as Fred Vinson, secretary of the treasury, declared that while some cute can be made, taxes will have to continue high for the present because of the need for large sums to discharge the veterans, send them home and meet other expenses including several billion dollars a year for interest on bonds. We can do it but

it won’t be easy is the opinion of those in charge. —o This is an unusual period of time as the country reconverts from war to peace. Already a million or two are out of work but though other industries are begging for help, they have not yet had any success in securing the labor they need. Time and conditions will probably straighten these problems out but in the meantime some lines of industry ai% in difficulties even as the unemployed list gencr-

ally grows daily. o—o The Japs no doubt feel they will ‘‘get even’’ some day and that sone of the worst things the allied forces will have to contend with. While they are polite and bowing and scrapeing as in the old days, they fool nobody. It will take some teaching and some close watching for several generations to make Japan a first class country again. However they do seem to realize they lack the power they thought they had and they may be good from fear rather than from their person inclinations. —o The state 4 H club show held at Indianapolis ove-r Labor day was as always, a delightful success. More than 20,000 attended the event Monday, including boys and girls from every county. Next year it will no doubt be held in connection with the state fair which will be one bigger and better than ever. The 4-H clubs have done a great work in Indiana and will continue to grow in numbers and in interest. Much of our future prosperity and good depends on these youngsters who learn agricultural needs

by actually performing the work.

O—o The 2,600 year old slogan of Japan: “we have never been defeated" melted away Saturday night when in a twenty minute ceremony, tho articles of surrender were signed. It was a momentous event and was listened to by milliohs of people in a broadcast that extended around the world. It marked the end of world war two and every where now there is a feeling of relaxation. We pass from war into peace with new problems but with the determination to see that the great sacrifices were no in vain. Geeral MacArthur in his notable address said civilization will be completely destroyed it there is a third world war. We must help that this does not occur.

HALF MILLION (Continued From Page One) The flag which flew over the nation's capitol on the day the Japanese first struck at Pearl Harbor will be hoisted almost immediately after MacArthur enters Tokyo. The flag also was flown at the big three conferences and fluttered from the masthead of the American battleship Missouri during the Japanese surrender ceremony last Sunday. MacArthur was expeupd-uj dflter Tokyo with the vanguard of the first cavalry division troops Saturday morning, but full details of his entry had not set been worked out. Japanese sources predicted that the supreme commander would drive fate the capital at < a. m. (4 p. m. Friday, CWT) with 8.000

i officers and men of the first cavalry. ’ He *lll raise the historic stars ’ and stripes over the American 1 embassy, just across the street from Emperor Hirohitos palace. ’ MacArthur subsequently will establish his headquarters in the embassy, but that may not be for some time. I MacArthur probably will return . to his headquarters in Yokohama after the flag-raising ceremony. 1 His staff is having a hard time ■ finding adequate suitable office space and billets for new headquarters in bombed-out Tokyo. American occupation authorities clamped a dusk-to-dawn cur few and other restrictive measures with penalties ranging up to death on the Tachikawa area, eight miles west of Tokyo. The orders, revealed in a Tokyo radio broadcast, may set a pattern to be followed at least in part in the occupation of Tokyo itself. No specific reasons were given in the Tokyo broadcast for the imposition of the curfew’ and other prohibitions at Tachikawa, where eighth army units have taken over a, big army air base. The broadcast merely said that the American commander had issued the following instructions to Japanese: 1. All civilians are. prohibited from leaving their homes from sundown to dawn. 2. All members of the police force must wear their regular uniforms and must carry lanterns at , night. 3. Sale or other distribution of alcoholic beverages within the < district is forbidden until further < notice.

4. Acquisition or use of Ameri-can-manufactured clothing, foodstuffs, tobacco, household furnishings, automobiles, etc., is prohibited with the exception of such items in the possession of the owners before the entry of American occupation troops. 5. Those found purchasing or exchanging goods with American soldiers will be sentenced to death or subjected to 20 years' imprisonment. 6. All civilians must respect the Americans. 7. Japanese riding any kind of vehicle must not overtake an automobile carrying Americans. Violators are liable to be shot at. Tokyo said 4,000 American troops already have arrived in the Tachikawa area with more scheduled to move in today. Ultimately 20,000 will be stationed

If they remembered the North American stranger, they would be regretting the hasty Invitation. She couldn’t go through with it, even If they did feel obligated to mention it again. A sharp knock brought her up like a shot. She gathered her robe about her and hurried to the doer. The bellboy handed in a box and disappeared. She tore off tire tissue with Angers that trembled. Inside a glassine box were a doran long stemmed yellow roses. She searched anxiously for the card. In it was scrawled, “Thank you for a heavenly evening, Raff-'*-' * “positively bld world gallantry,” murmured Terry, but her heart was pounding.

Douglas MacArthur’s occupation headquarters announced that Maj. Gen. Charles P. Hall’s 11th corps of the eighth array would be responsible for taking over the Tokyo area effective at 12:01 a. m. Saturday (10:01 a.m. Friday, CWT), though troops will not enter the capital until several hours after dawn.

Order my breakfast for me, will you?” Fifteen minutes later, packed and checked out, she joined Raff and Brooks at the breakfast table. Brooks, also in tweeds, greeted her with a friendly smile. He was sorry Conine wasn’t coming out with them this morning, but she had a meeting. "She’s the captain of Brooke’ political career,” Raff grinned. "It’s a pity some people have to take life so seriously.” Brooks laughed, really laughed, and Terry looked at him a little startled. It was the first time she had heard him laug-h aloud. The sound had a humorous, boyish ring. He grinned at Raff fondly. "If everyone took life as seriously as you do,” he ribbed, “the progress of civilization would certainly stumble.” He winked at Terry. “We keep him for comedy rtliet.” They drove into the airport grounds, where an unbroken line of planes rested like a weary flock i at giant birds on the shining runi ways. Raff nodded toward a silver ’ plane with scarlet wing tips al- > ready poised on a runway, its spinning propeller a polished disk In r the sunlight “There's Brooks’ • plane. We phoned ahead and had

her warmed up,” As they ehmbed out of the ear, smiling, dark-skinned boys in khaki uniforms took charge of their luggage, running ahead of them across the field to the waiting plane. The plane door opened and a pink cheeked youth Jumped out, shouting above the noise of the powerful engine, "She’s all set, Senor Kimberly! I filled her with gas and oil and gave her a thorough check.” Brooks knocked out his pipe on the heel of his shoe. "Thanks, Manuelo. See you next trip." Raff helped Terry into her seat and then followed her. Brooks was atthe controls. They strapped their safety belts ready for the takoff. The engine roared as Brooks opened the throttle and started taxiing down the runway. "It’s a perfect day for flying,” he shouted' back oter his shoulder to Terry, "You’ll get\to see our pampas at their best.” \ < Suddenly t«e plane whirled hfoui ■ as Brooks poirited its nose iito the y wind. It slid down the runway at 1 full throttle apd then iifud easily , above a pattern of brown plowed [ fields and silver strips of highway l running straight as arrows in • flight across the sea of pampas.

Calif., Sept. 6—(UP) — Excessive speed on a soft roadbed under repair was blamed today bySanta Fe railroad officials for the wreck of the second section of the California Limited, leaving five dead and 125 injured. The crowded Chicago-bound tram went off the track and piled up near Santa Anita race track Tuesday night when it hit a switch which led to a siding being used because the main line was undei repair. A cheerful, intelligent face is the end of the culture.
