Offer ‘Would Be ‘Shrewd’ Effort at Compromise. ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (U. P.).—

Undersecretary of War Robert P.{

Patterson doesn’t believe Japan is ready to surrender. If she does show any such inclinations he is convinced it will: be in the nature of “a shrewd effort to bring about a compromise which will enable Japan to keep her whip hand over Asia.” Patterson expressed ‘his opinion last night in an address to a convention of the District of Columbia post of the American Legion. “You want to hear as directly and as factually as I can make it the answer to the biggest question in America today—when is this Jap-

anese war going to end?” he said.

Must Smash Army

“I am firmly convinced that it will end when the Japanese army is smashed beyond repair and not

until then.”

He sald that no doubt Japan's

Jeaders were looking for a way to “save their country and some of their loot.” “I do not believe,” he declared, “that any of the Japanese leaders

Under the present set-up, Gen.| Douglas MacArthur commands all}

(This dispatch was relayed through Manila, and presumably was approved by censors in MacArthur's command.) Doolittle said unity of command had proved itself in North Africa, Sicily and Europe and added pointedly: “We had divided command at Pear] Harbor,” He praised the co-ordination of the various armies, navies and air forces under Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower in the European, African and Mediterranean campaigns. He lauded Eisenhower for his “open-mindedness” in understanding the respective functions of the different services.” “Ground, sea and air constitute members of a team—all striving for the same goal and each helping the other,” Doolittle said.

Again in contrast to Berlin, we saw no evidence of Soviet propaganda in the Russian language. No portraits of Stalin or Soviet generals were in evidence on the main streets. There were plenty of anti-Fascist slogans, but all appeared to be of local origin and the native language.

HITLER RELEASED

TWENTY-FIRST ARMY GROUP HEADQUARTERS, Germany, Aug. 13 (U. P.).—Alois Hitler, half-brother of Adolf, has been given a clean bill of health by British security

authorities and released from custody, it was announced today. Alois Hitler was not associated with Adolf and was blameless for German war crimes, the: British announced. They said he had been arrested almost a month ago in the Hamburg area. “He was absolutely scared stiff of being associated with the fuehrer’s activities in any way,” a British statement said. Alois Hitler had fled to Hamburg ahead of the Russians from Berlin, where he kept an obscure tavern in a working class district.

By DON SWEENEY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Aug. 3.—British art today is enjoying its biggest boom in decades but no one seems to know exactly why. British artists don't attempt to explain it. They just paint away as fast as they can and sell their works

canvas. What interests the artists more than their sales are the difficulties of finding brushes, canvas and paints. The huge public interest in art is displayed at almost every exhibition and show. The government-spon-sored council for the encouragement of music and art has spread interest through the provinces by sending exhibits out to smaller British towns and this activity is being put on a permanent basis by the formation of the British Art Council. Satisfy Old Cravings The bulk of the art sales is below $80 a painting but established British artists are doing well at much higher prices. Artists and critics interpret the widespread sale of low-priced works to the fact that many people are using their high wartime earnings to satisfy long cravings to own art works. Another factor may be that about the only way to see a painting in war time was to own it yourself

The most imposing current show is the Royal Academy’s summer exhibition of 1400 exhibits, including 750 oil paintings. About half the paintings in the Royal Academy show are straightforward portraits of pretty English girls or important individuals in the city. Few of the academicians have indulged in any experiments of technique. The most active of current British artists appear to be the modernists. Paul Nash, the “grand old man of British painting,” is considered Britain’s leading artist. He leans to the abstract school. Other leaders are the semi-surrealist, Graham Sutherland; John Nash of the Royal Academy, a conventional painter; Mathew Smith, a colorist, and John

Potsdam Phone Post 'Thrilling’

BERLIN, Aug. 3 (U. P.).— WAC 1st Lt. Olive Dungan of St. Louis said today that her assignment as chief switchoard operator at the Potsdam conference was ‘“the most thrilling job in my life.” She flew from Paris July 4 with 27 WAC telephone operators. “During the first part of the conference we worked day and night, and liked it,” she said. “We even had to publish a telephone directory. But the girls all thought it was marvelous.” Lt. Dungan supervised two switchboards—the large “victory board” at the army communications building, employing 23 girls, and a smaller board at the Little White House which had four girls. She said President Truman was “very nice.” In the middle of the conference he posed for a picture with her and several operators in appreciation of their work on important calls.

ATTLEE COMPLETES HIS LABOR CABINET

LONDON, Aug. 3 (U. P.).—Prime Minister Clement Attlee completed his cabinet today, picking labor wheelhorses for most posts but

selecting two vigorous, youthful left-wing party men for two of the toughest British post-war jobs. The two tough jobs went to Emanuel Shinwell, one of former Prime Minister Churchill's sharpest critics, and to Aneurin Bevan, fiery Welsh coal miner and editor of the vitriolic left-wing weekly, the Tribune. Shinwell was named minister of fuel and power, placing in his hands one of the hardest tasks which confronts the government — the problem of rehabilitating Britain's

BRINGS ACTION Watchman Is Near Death

City’s Lone Inspector of Elevators Reported ‘Out.’

The city's lone elevator inspector John MacGregor, was understood to be “out” today. City Building Commissioner Charles Bacon, however, said he had not requested the inspector's dismissal—that this action originated with the mayor's office,

The building commissoiner yesterday told the safety board, though, that the present system of inspecting the approximately 1500 elevators in the city must be changed. Heretofore, one inspector has been able to inspect annually only about half the city’s elevators, leaving many without inspections since 1943. Submits Deputy Plan Mr. Bacon has recommended that inspectors be deputized to assist in the city inspections. This plan was used until 1943. The recent accident at the Century building in which the operator saved his life by jumping off a freight elevator, led city officials to consider Mr. Bacon's suggestion. About 40 representatives of lead-

Police discovered the couple early yesterday morning in a car parked along one of the city's main thoroughfares. Miss Pitts was curled up on the front seat fast asleep.

Burglar ‘Retires’ After 49 Years

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (U.

He said it was his 23d arrest since his first burglary in 1896. He said he was convicted 14 times and was sentenced to a total of 34 years in prison for larceny, robbery and burglary. “I guess I'll have to stop,” he said.
