with the American Nationalists’ Committee and THE NATIONALIST PARTY. - 4 PLAN OF ORGANIZATION # The Committee is organizing on the unit basis. In every community of the United States there will be organized units consist. ing of ten people only. This number is restricted to ten for the reason that in a unit of ten members only, every member of that unit will be personally acquainted with his fellow unit members. With only ten members to the unit, meetings may be held in the homes of one of the members. If more than ten, the probabilities are that these meetings . would have to be held in some auditorium so' . hall, thus incurring an unnecessary expense. In addition to this, if the number, permitted in the unit is more than ten, the chances are that some subversive elements would worm their way into the unit and begin to bore from within, as was experienced by the old America First Committee.

GUAM, July 16.—American army planes carried the preinvasion attack on Japan into its 41st day today. The new attack followed a
shattering air and sea bompardment by the U. 8. 3d fleet that wrecked 10 northern Japanese cities and virtually cut Hokkaido off from the main island of Honshu. In a mighty parade of seapower unprecedented in the history of warfare, the great battlewagons, carriers and cruisers .of Adm. William FP. Halsey's fleet were sowing

But alarmed enemy spokesmen hinted the attack was halted only overnight and that the Americans were crowding back to resume the strike this morning.

Another enemy account said an American submarine surfaced. off the northern end of Honshu yes= terday afternoon and shelled Shiriya on Shimokita peninsula. 129 Jap Ships Smashed A communique from Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz’ headquarters revealed that the rampaging Amerjcan warships and carrier planes destroyed or damaged 128 Japanese ships, most of them in the watery trap between Honshu and Hokkaido, and wrecked 92 enemy planes Saturday and Sunday. Every type of warship in the vast American arsenal was now in action in an all-out campaign to bring the
Japan to its knees with bombs and shellfire or soften it up for invasion. At the same time, a fleet of 50 to 75 B-29 Superfortresses thundered in from the Marianas last night to splatter 350 tons of fire bombs on the Nippon Oil Co. plants at Kudamatsu, on the southwestern tip of Honshu. Other week-end developments in the Pacific campaign. included: ONE: ‘Nimitz disclosed that the U.

For the first time Mr. Truman is meeting with those whom Prime Minister Churchill now calls simply “The Three.” For only three months has he served as chief executive and commander- in-
chief of the world’s most powerful nation.
At the time of Yalta Harry Truman was presiding over the senate in the quiet obscurity of the vice-presidency—playing a friendly hand of poker of an evening with his senate friends, drinking a friendly glass of bourbon with them as they gathered around
his piano to harmonize.
Today Harry Truman is playing for greater stakes—stakes of American peace, friendship and security. Three swift months that brought an end to war in Europe and a beginning of peace in San Francisco led Americans to believe that the plain man from Missouri knew how to play his cards and knew that those he held
were the best in the deck.

Where Truman finds relaxation at ‘the piano keyboard, Churchill seeks the brush and easel. Brandy is his tipple and he savors it with the same gusto as his corona cigars.

“I did nof become his majesty’s

Stalin will sit down as one of the three at the peak of power and prestige. . . . Behind him is the greatest power in Europe and . Asia and probahly the greatest army in the world.
It has been a long time since Stalin has relaxed. Work-work=-work is the motto of the Soviet state and he practices what he preaches. He prefers the sweet wines of his native Georgia but he will .drink dudna—bottoms’ up—the requisite vodka toasts of the ceremonial dinners of The Thrée. And he will puff placidly on bis

Of the three, Stalin may have in mind clearly not only his objectives but the road that leads to them. Those objectives he has reiterated time and again--security for the Soviet state in a

the greatest stakes, calmly, imperturbably. He knows what he can give his colleagyes or the Pacific,
