The Air Force Owes Some Rent

WHEN THE army air forces leased the state fairgrounds from Indiana in March, 1841, a contract was drawn up. Since money has to change hands to make a contract binding, a rent of $1 for the duration was agreed on. Three years and five months have passed and the air force hasn't paid the rent yet. As far as we know the state hasn't dunned the air force for the rent yet. - According to OPA laws, however, nonpayment of rent is grounds for eviction. ... We wit nessed one of those very embarrassing incidents in an elevator ‘the other day. One woman near the back of the crowded car looked toward ithe door and saw a woman getting on. She looked twice and saw the late comer was wearing a dress exactly like hers. The woman in the back looked sheepish and nudged her friend, providing a general laugh for the people in her section of the car, When she got off she had to pass her near-twin. This time it was the lady in front who looked twice at the identical dresses and started laughing. Then the people in the front half of the car caught on and the whole situation was repeated.

Electronic Homes By S. Burton Heath

There's nothing impossible, or even difficult, about such a setup,-but you won't have one right away. To do so would require installation in your home, among other things, of a small television broadcasting station. And that would cost a few thousand dollars and would take up quite some space. It is possible to cook a pound of roast in two seconds. It is possible to hove an eleciric eye turn on the lights when you enter a room and turn them off when you leave. It is possible, every time you light a match for a cigaret, to have an electric eye start a fan to blow out the match for you. Like Arabian Nights SEVERAL EXPERTS agree that, though it would be’ tricky, it is possible to devise an electronic setup so that when Daddy comes home from the 6:14 and enters his automatically-opening front door, loud speakers would announce softly in every room in the house: . “Hi, mother—here IT am.

JAP SCIENTIST BLAMES FEUDS FOR LOST WAR

Yagi Claims Internal Strife Blocked Development of V-Weapon.

By HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.—Dr. Himeji Yagi, former president of the Japanese board of technology, blamed Japan's defeat today on her internal feudalism and jealousy. He offered to commit hara-kiri for his own failure to produce a victory weapon, Unlike other Japanese officials who have committed suicide for their failure to win the war for the emperor, Yagi prudently asked first if it were necessary for him to die. “If I have to die to atone myself,” he was quoted by radio Tokyo as saying, “I am ready to die. “When I assumed my post as president of the board of technology, I was determined to devote my life to the task of defeating AngloAmerican material with scientific weapons. “But my all-out effort was frustrated by numerous obstacles and I had to resign.” Scientists Hampered

He said mutual jealousy, feudalistic sectionalism and narrowmindedness prevented Japanese scientists and technical experts from carrying out co-ordinated research.

Similar sectionalism and jealousy popped up in every branch of the Japanese war effort, he said. He advocated “freedom of press| and of association” as the basis for | Japan’s national reconstruction. “The past way of suppressing all criticism of the government must be amended if a new and broal vista for national reconstruction is to be opened up for the Japanese people,” he said. The Japanese Domei agency cited Yagi’s belief as an indication of the way Japanese public opinion was turning following Japan's uncenditional surrender. |

ARMY TO BRING HOME 18 DEAD

‘Will Follow Wishes of Kin. On Burial Places.

By EARL RICHERT Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Within the “near future” the army will begin polling the next of kin of our 200,000 overseas dead to learn what | they want done with the bodies, The next of kin will be sent a {letter by the war department which | {will include a reply card. On this card the next of kin can specify their wishes. ! If they want the remains returned, as it is estimated 99 per {cent will, they will specify where {they want them shipped for burial. “It is our objective,’ said Col. R. P. Harbold, director of the army's memorial dwision, “to do what the families want done.” The goal of the memorial division is to have a soldier's body back to the place designated by the next of kin within six months after the card is received here.

Can Be Buried Free

Whether this can be accomplished in the face of tight shipping conditions, remains to be seen. But army officials say it will defi-+ nitely not be two or three years before the bodies are returned, as some had feared. , If a family so wishes, a soldier's remains can be, buried cost-free in a nati hai senate”. The army will even furnish the chaplain for

a sure-fire flea killer in DDT powder. Experiments showed that for 10 minutes after being dusted with the anti-flea- powder, a dog will squirm a little—not from effects of the powder itself but from the scurrying of fleeing’ fleas. Then, after the fleas’ retreat, the dog is pest-free—and a walking boobytrap for fleas for at least a week. The manufacturers call the dog boon Neocid A -10 powder. They will sell it to distributors who will probably mix it with tale before retailing it.

Truman Hopes No-Strike Rule May Carry Ove

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer DETROIT, Aug. 18. — Spokes men for the automobile industry will take part, if invited, in thé national labor-management parley which President Truman fore= casts for September as a means of promoting reconversion peace on the industrial front. But the situation has {ts angles. The big

Yautomo b ile

manufacturers have never subscribed to the ‘‘peace charter” that was unveiled seve eral months ago by Eric Johne ston, president of the U.S. Chame ber of Commerce, and William Green and Philip Murray, heads of the American Federation of Labor and the C.I.0. The Johnston « Green - Murray agreement. is apparently regarded by the president as a basis on which can be built a thorough going arrangement to last through the back-to-peace period. Another group of industrialists that has not subscribed to the pact are those represented by the National Association of Manus facturers.

” ” = MR. TRUMAN apparently hopes that the no-strike policy which was the general rule through the war can be continued through re conversion, But the C. I. O. United Automobile Workers, which dominates the labor side of the motor ine dustry, has announced that with the surrender of Japan it was na longer bound by the wartime nostrike pledge. 5 However, the union president, R. J. Thomas, advised moderation in use of the strike weapon, and gave a personal opinion that in times of unemployment, such as now loom for several months in the automobile industry, it ‘is a futile gesture.

The suggestion for a labors management conference on the biggest scale ever undertaken in this country was made to Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach by Senator Vandenberg (R. Miéh.),

Two head officers of the auto workers’ union -divided here toe day on Mr. Truman's modification of the Little Steel formula to pers mit wage increases when volune tary agreements are reached by workers and employers, and when the -latter are willing to certify the increases won't boost prices. ” » a" RICHARD T. FRANKENSTEEN, U. A. W. vice president, said this “was a commendable and common sense approach.” but George PF. Addes, secretary-treasurer, declared the change “does not meet demands for revocation of the Little Steel formula.” Automobile manufacturers ara believed sure to ask for price ine creases if there is any considerable boost in the industry's labor costs. Therefore the change in wage regulation is not believed to be of great importance in automobile manufacturing, nor in most of the industrial fields in which C.
