Zwlck who has been awarded the llronsr- Star Medal tor nieriI torfous service. His citation points ■ out that from March to October of 1 1943 the Major established a'.x medical aid stations In the Burma 1 district ot India, facing great dan 1 ger and carrying out the plana iu i such away as to assure safety and 1 aid for many of tbo men station- ’ i«d in that sector. His many frie.ids i in Adams county are proud of the recognition bestowed on him. I i o—o—- — and other Japanese ' leaders are now loudly proclaiming their belief in a democratic form of government. They insist that only the war party over thereprevented them from giving the citizens their before and now they want them to to? a free people. That's wbut the allied leaders want also and perhaps it will result, at least to greater extent than ever before known over there. If they ever get a taste of it you may be sure they will uot want to return to the iron heel form ot government again. —o A Time Os Confusion Kight now there is a good deal ot contusion in the public mind over the highly important matters of occupation policy for Japan and demobilization of our own army. 1 Some ot It comes from official *' sources and some from unofficial v but Important army spokesmen. fl General Eichelberger has said that 1 /• if the Japs behave themselves the occupation may not last more than ’ a year. General Wainwright, with *' his painfully acquired knowledge of Japanese character, says ft should continue for 20 years. Gen- ’ eral Barney Giles has upped the a occupation estimate to a full cena tury. j Generals won't decide the IcngUi of occupation or initiate any formal government policy, though they j may be consulted. When the state , department announced that .Japan- < Me policy would be made in Washington, not by American occupation forces, it was stating an ob- t< vious fact. It was also by general agreement rebuking General Mac- “ p Arthur. t This rebuke may have been call- a ed forth hy the general's remark about reducing the occupation forces in Japan to 200,000 In six months. Or it may have been because of some unpiildicized disagreement over policy or operation between Washington and .MacArthur headquarters. Al any rate, it succeeded In Retting the publlu pretty well mixed up. Home people- seem to have tbo Idea that the 200,000 figure applies to the whole postwar army in the Pacific. They are disturbed by the feeling that we are taking unnecessary chances with Japan. In other quarters there is an an ' parent fear that the army la re ! taining a lot of men needlessly. 1 although the immediate size of our force in Japan is not the determin- ’ ins factor in demobilisation. * Probably most of this confusion ! is Inevitable, and probably the only remedy for much of it Is patience. It takes almost as long to ’ unwind from a war as It does to ' wind up for one. There are still r supply and transportation prob ' Jems. as well as separation-center 1 bottlenecks, to slow the rate of de--7 mobilization. 1 Hut there Is an element ot dan- ’ ger in this impatience. Every fam--1 ||y with a member l.t the armed forces wants that member home as quickly as, possible. That Is right ■ and natural. And because it is, it i might tempt some congressmen and other officiate to turn the whole thing into a political football. Congress already bar its eyes on the 19H elections. And what

Illconsidered and time-wasting bills to implement those promises and impress the voters. The immediate result could only be more confusion. And the ultimate result might be a national defense based on blind faith In the atomic bomb and another skeleton army and navy. — Huntington Herald-Press.

CHAPTER TWENTT-THREE THE NIGHT WIND blew cold and refreshing as Brooke turned the car about and headed for the big house. Terry, beside him, drew a long breath of relief. They had left a quiet, comforted household. The doctor was with Pedro and would stay until the nurse arrived. He felt the concussion was critical, and would take every precaution. Angela and her mother had gone to bed, too exhausted to protest further. "I wonder.” Terry murmured as she lay back against the leather seat of the car and watched the brilliant, low-hung stars in the Immense dome of the southern sky, "just where Angela’s father spends hta evening*. Wuuid ha stay at the bollche so late?" Brooks didn’t answer. He probably thought, Terry told herself, this problem was none of her business She sneaked a look at his profile, silhouetted against tbo sky, so stem, no thoughtful, so ruggedly hai.&ome. The stuff of heroes, he was all right And then he answered slowly, “I don’t know where he ependx his evenings, but I know HOW he spends them.” Bhe caught the troubled undertone. “Drinking or women, 1 suppose,” ahe guessed aloud. “No.* He put his hand Into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled sheet of paper. ”1 found it In the comer when I went over for the guitar,” he said. "There's a flashlight in the compartment there.” Terry got the light and flashed it on the paper smoothed acroas her knee. It was a pink sheet of cheap paper, filled with printing from a crude hand press. It called the estaneta workers to attention. It announced, In scareheads, that they were being mistreated and they must resist, join in the struggle for their rights. The only way they could hope to gain their rightful heritage was through organization. That was the purpose at the Workers’ League. In her excitement, Terry was almost jubilant ”80 that’s the name for it! The Workers’ League: Then we weren’t just fmaglntr; things!” Brooks’ vtfiee teusded heavy and tired. "Sandy found out several meetings h»vs been held around te various peon teaaeat” he eaid.

Woman Acquitted Os Drowning Children Found Not Guilty By Reason Os Insanity Henderson, Ky., Sept. 28 —-(UP» — A Henderson county circuit court jury yesterday found Mrs. Mary Wallis, Ml. Vernon, lad.. Innocent in the drowning of her two children In the Ohio River 20 miles below here last Feb. 12. The acquittal followed the commonwealth attorney's motion that Mrs. Wallis be found not guilty for reaeons of insanity so she might b* vunflned to an Institution. Mis. Wallis returned from Western Stale hospital. Hopkinsville, for the trial, previously had told officers a dog shoved her two children into the river from an oil barge. The body of one of the children, a four-year-old girl, was not recovered. Mrs. Wallis was to bt returned; to the Hopkinsville hospital where It was expected efforts would be made to transfer her to an Indiana insiitution. — ——-— Department Stores Sales On Decrease Loss Is Shown From Previous Week Sale Chicago Sept. 28 (UP)— Residents of the Midwest Seventh Federal Reserve district spent lesa money In department stores during the week ending Hept. 22 than in the preceding week, the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank said today. Dollar volume sales, however, showed a larger gain over last year's corresponding period than the gain recorded In the week ended Hept. 15, the bank said. •'Detroit store sales reversed the unfavorable trend recorded In the five preceding weeks, showing a gain over the same week of 1944, despite continued recon version unrest," the weekly report slated. Comparing the Hept. 22 week with last year's corresponding date, the district as a whole exceeded the 1944 figure by 13 percent. Indianapolis registered a 18 percent gain; Chicago's increase was 14 per cent: Milwaukee and Detroit showed gains of 11 and 10 percent, respectively. Gains in the three and four week periods ended Sept. 22 from

"That’s what he camo up tonight to tell me. It’s beginning to look as though my own workers were wganizing against me.” Behind his wordr Terry could feed the despondency caused In him by this thought She leaped to combat it ”If they are,” she assured him, •It’s because they are being forced to It I know. We've had all hinds of rackets in my country. And the people who paid tribute money to keep them going did It only under heavy threats. I’ll bvt my last summer's hat that’s what’s happening.” Btooks smiled briefly at her. "rd like to believe that,” he said. "Because then we can work till we’ve stamped It out But 1 can't fight my own workers.
