Tokyo radio said Premier Kantaro Suzuki would address a “grand rally of sure-victory-for-the-de-cisive-battle” today-—and evident attempt to hold the people behind the war effort. ~The Japanese radio promised that Suzuki would tell of “firm and un- . shakable measures to cope with the final decisive battle between Japan and America.” - Now that the war of nerves is underway on a grand scale—accompaied by relentless bombardment of the Japanese homeland—the allies are expected to use every possible to repatriate the 20,000,000 more Japanese cities which will be destroyed by bombs.

by considerable uncertainty, even in |
high official quarters, both about what the Big Three may be planning and even more on what w expect fromthe Japanese. It was obvious that even high state department officials did not know in advance about the threepower proclamation delivered the allied ultimatum and terms for a Japanese surrender. They had previously been upset by an OWI broadcast offering the Japanese the benefits of the Atlantic Charter and no dictated peace if they would surrender. The state department was not consulted on that. As for what the Japanese may do, one high official expressed his outlook this way: “1 wouldn't be surprised to be awakened in the middle of any night to be told that the war is over; but neither would I be surprised if we had to fight many, many months to the bitter end. “It is impossible to predict what| the Japanese will do. Those far apart alternatives are: indicative of how little Inkling we have of what they might do.”

ATTLEE, BEVIN £0 TO POTSDAM,
Be No ‘Pussyfooting.’ (Continued From Page One)
Ismay, formerly + Churchill’s military advisor, will accompany the new prime minister to Potsdam. King George VI received the old and new government ministers at Buckingham Palace this morning. The British public today apparently felt slightly “let down” because Attlee pulled no sudden surprises, but chose solid workhorses as cabinet key men. However, this feeling probably was due more to reaction from the dizzy pace since Labor's astounding landslide victory, rather than to any actual disappointment regarding the newly chosen men.
Bevin No Surprise
Certainly there was no surprise in the selection of Bevin, husky and capable minister of - labor under Winston * Churchill, for the important role of foreign secretary. There was. slight surprise that Herbert Morrison, named leader of tthe house of commons and appointed tord president of council, didn't receive higher cabinet recognition. However, his appointment as house leader signified he will be assigned the all important task of whipping through the house—with its top-heavy Laborite majority— the new government's sweeping domestic. program including nationalization of certain industry. Attlee, like Churchill, retained the posts of first lord of the treasury and minister of defense. He had been lord president of council and deputy prime minister in the coalition government.
Head of Treasury Fifty-one-year-old Hugh Dalton, president of the board of trade under Churchill, was named chancellor of the exchequer. Sir Stafford Cripps, 56, and one of the most highly respected men in labor's ranks, became president of the board of trade. Arthur Greenwood, 65, who held the minister without Sertfolio under Churchill until he resigned without explanation, was appointed lord privy seal. Sir William Jowitt, 60, who was minister of national insurance under Churchill, was named lord chancellor. As presiding officer of the house of lords he will be created a peer, causing a by-election in his constituency of Ashton-Under-Lyne.
No Deputy Selected
Attlee made no mention of the deputy premiership, which he held under Churchill, and it was believed that he might be dropping the post from the list of portforlios and that other ministries might also be abolished.

Big Three to
Resume Parley
POTSDAM, July 28 (U. P.).—The Big Three was scheduled to resume its conferences today, with British Prime Minister Clement Attlee re|placing the defeated Winston Churchill. Indications were that the meetings have reached the final decision stage. The conference's conclusion is believed to be only two or three days away, and all three delegations are guarding to the utmost any final decisions reached. In all probability, the final communique will not be issued until Premier Stalin has returned to Moscow and President Truman is safely en route to Washington.

ship was’ believed to have been sunk or knocked out of action at
‘|least temporarily, if not, for the
duration of the war. Halsey opened his fleet strike on Japan almost three weeks ago with a three-fold purpose: To beat down the enemy’s air force. to strike the hitherto-immune northern areas of Japan, -and to silence the Japanese warships whose big guns might have played havoc with an invading fleet. All three aims have now been accomplished and the possibilities of an early peace havé greatly increased. United Press War: Correspondent Ernest Hoberecht, aboard the flagship of Vice Admiral John 8S. MecCain off Honshu, reported the sinking of the Hyuga in a dispatch that told of furious. Japanese fighter and flak opposition over Kure. Air Battles Raging Wild aerial battles swirled across the skies over Kure as the Japanese threw up their hoarded fighter reserves in a desperate bid to chase off the attackers.
meet the raiders as they thundered in over the Bungo straits separating Honshu and Kyushu islands, and followed them.in through the Kure flak barrage. As the strike progressed into late afternoon, however, the enemy's] fighter opposition appeared to be! dwindling. Hoberecht said American and British fighter fleets swept clear] across Honshu to the sea of Japan to strafe the main Japanese airfields with rocket and cannon fire. Halsey’'s mighty 3d’ fleet, numbering more than 150 battleships, carriers, cruisers and supporting warships, raced into the Honshu coast during the night after a two-day blackout that masked a dramatic rendezvous with a fleet supply train somewhere off the enemy shore.
308 Ships Knocked Out
Breaking off the initial strike on Kure, Wednesday - night, Halsey’s fighting ships were met by a logistic force commanded by Rear Adm. D. B. Beary and took aboard more! than 56,000 tons of ammunition, stores, provisions, aircraft and personnel. It was the greatest seagoing transfer in naval history. Fast transports of Beary s. fleet train brought 400 officers and men to the battle force, plus hundreds of bags of mail. The two-day interlude also permitted Halsey to report in detail on the results of the Kure strikes Tuesday and Wednesday. i In the twin attacks, 3d fleet fliers were disclosed to have sunk or damaged 308 enemy ships, including 26 warships. . Piled on top of that damage were 370 Japanese aircraft destroved or |damaged in the two-day strike, in{cluding 156 destroyed and 214 damaged. That raised to 725 combat and merchant ships and 928 planes the toll in damage and destruction taken by Halsey's fleet since July {10 when the strike began. Attack Asiatic Coast Thirty-two American planes and 35- pilots and air crewmen were lost {in Tuesday’s attack, bringing losses since July 10 to 78 planes and 80 men. British losses in the same period totaled 10 planes and 12 men. Navy spokesmen revealed that!

Senator Robert F. Wagner (D.

What might have been prevented by a prompt show of force must be undone at the price of wholesale slaughter.” “Beyond all else,” Wagner said,
the Security Council must have
military force at its disposal for “prompt application.”

The Charter does riot propose. that the President or American delégate be given the authority to declare war, he said. “It proposes merely that the President and the delegate shall have available the use of a police force —a police force constituted initially, so far as this nation is concerned, by congress.” : Democratic Leader Alben W.

YEAR'S ACCIDENTS
Automobile accidents on Indianapolis streets last year took a toll of 78 lives, injured 2100 persons and caused over $3,000,000 in property’ damages, George H. Poske, vice chairman of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce safety council, told Optimist club members yesterday. ; “Of the more than 4000 motorists involved in traffic accidents the first five months of this year, 36.3 per cent were violating the law,” he said. “Fifty per cent of the pedestrians involved in accidents were violating the law by not crossing at the corner against a red light,” he added. “The motorist’s failure to give right of way to a pedestrian or another motorist is the greatest single cause of accidents,” Mr. Poske added. “Pedestrians are involved in. about one-fifth of all accidents yet they account for 65 per cent of the fatalities.”
