added. He quite agreed with Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker
that the 1946 event would be the greatest in Speedway history but he didn’t see eye-to-eye with the corporation president in regard to the possibility of jet-propelled cars. Shaw said that under the A. A. A. rules, power “must
go through the wheels.” a # 2
o He admitted that the rules could
be changed, however, but thought the added weight would offset any
advantage of higher speed. Also, he pointed out that jet-propelled aircraft must attain tremendous speed before becoming really effective. .
Expects Experimentation
Shaw said that undoubtedly there would be experimentation in jet-propulsion for automobiles, however. The Boyle car in which Shaw drove to his third victory in 1940 is an eight-cylinder supercharged’ Masserati., It is stored in an Indianapolis garage. The dapper Hoosier pilot first placed fourth in the 1927 race.

New Tire System With the end of gasoline rationing, OPA has started a new system of determining the eligibility of motorists for tires. Previously, purchase certificates were issued only to holders of supplemental gas rations. Under the new system, the certificates may be issued for passenger cars use for occupational purposes and

Relief from pork rationing will come, with the slaughter of the spring pig crop this fall. Beef supplies have been on the upgrade for several months. The civilian picture is now brighter than ever because there is no.mfed to maintain vast emergency reserves for the military. Military buying of butter and cheese likewise will drop. This will permit’ an end of cheese rationing, but butter will continue to be rationed as long as the overall fats and oils supply is short, Only the slaughter of the fall pig crop next spring and an increase in lard supplies will spell the end of the last of the red stamp controls,

The Okinawa broadcast said that a squadron of American Lightnings will leave Okinawa at § a. m. tomorrow (3 p. m, Thursday, Indianapolis time) and rendezvous at Sata Misaki, a’ small town on the southern tip of Kyushu. “This squadron will look for a Japanese plane, a white transport with green crosses painted on it as directed by Gen. MacArthur,” the broadcast said.
“The squadron then will lead the plane south, Midway between Kyushu and Ie Shima, a distance of about 300 miles, another squadron will be on the lookout for the plane in case the first squadron misses it.
B-25 to Be With Group
“When the plane reaches Ie Shima, a third squadron will be on the watch. A B-25 medium bomber will fly with each squadron of 12 planes to establish long-range contact with the Japanese aircraft.
“The group leader of the P-38 members of the veteran eighth fighter group will lead the Japanese plane onto the central strip at Ie Shima. The Japanese pilot will be instructed to taxi to a C-54 fourengined transport of the air transport command, .
“There will be a heavy guard around the field and only persons with the required arm bands will be allowed in the area, “The moment the Japanese plane comes’ to a stop, the envoys will disembark and enter the American transport. Their plane and its crew will be kept here (Okinawa) under guard for the return voyage to Japan a day or two hence. Officers to Meet Group
“At the field to meet the Japanese will be three high-ranking air force officers. On the trip back from here, the Japanese will be conducted by a colonel of the fifth air force. “As soon as they reach Manila sometime tomorrow afternoon, they will be met at Nichols field on the outskirts of the city and will be taken to General MacArthur's headquarters,” The Japanese mission was expected to comprise an officer authorized to receive the surrender terms in behalf of Hirohito, the Japanese government and the imperial .general staff, and three advisers—one each from the Japanese army, navy and air forces.

Plans Going Ahead
Arrangements already were progressing swiftly for presentation of the allied surrender terms. MacArthur was working long hours and conferring almost continually with his staff in preparation for the confefence. It was beheved he will rush preliminary negotiations as fast as possible in order to make the armistice effective and pave the way for his entry into Tokyo. High officers of Russia, China and
| Britain already were in Manila and
presumably will represent those powers at the preliminary armistice conference. Army units which will be the first to enter Japan already have been alerted, but arrangements for their movement to the enemy homeland have not been completed. Units of the 6th and 10th armigs probably will be among the earliest arrivals, with some phases of the occupation entrusted to the allied fleets, Newsmen on Hand

AIRPLANES TO LAY
NEW YORK, Aug. 16 (U. P).— The U. 8. Rubber Co. now is producing army telephone wire which can be laid from an airplane across jungles and rivers at the rate of
more than two miles a minute, it was announced today. The company pointed out that
the wire also can be fired from a bazooka to establish communications almost instantly. The key to the development is in the method of packaging the wire. Instead of being rolled on a reel, it is coiled in a container without a core. The end of the wire comes out of the container as in the case of certain kinds of wrapping twines, It can be payed out at varying speeds without backlash or knotting:

HELPED LOVER BEAT HER SON
Young Mother Wanted ‘to Prove’ Devotion.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16 (U, P.). —Police today pressed their search for a young mother who assisted
her lover in beating and burning her two-year-old soh to prove she loved him more than the baby. Warren D. Coleman, 34, ex-navy man and former professional boxer, told police he abused two-year-old Larry Chastain in order to make the child's mother, Mrs. Mary Chastain, move out of the home she was sharing with Coleman, his wife and two sons. Instead of getting angry, Coleman told police, Mrs. Chastain joined him in beating and burning her son. “Seven months ago I met Larry's mother in a war plant where we were both working,” Coleman, a |shipyard worker, related. “We got friendly, Her husband.
