CREDIT BUYING

U. S. Thaws 210 Controls ~ On Civilian Goods.

duce the same proportion of lowcost merchandise as it did prior to the war. ; “The lifting of individual orders does not remove this obligation from industry,” Krug cautioned. “We are prepared to reimpose our orders if this does not prove to be the case.” In no sense does Krug's warning

to industry imply a limitation on production, What it means, for ex-

ample, is that if a radio firm devoted 25 per cent of its pre-war production to low-cost radios, it should do the same im the post-war period. E Ctedit Control

It was disclosed over the weekend that the board of governors of the federal reserve system 1s considering at least a partial relaxation of its credit regulations. They now specify that purchasers using the installment plan must pay one-third down and the balancg within a year, Charge accounts’ must be paid in full by the 10th of the second month after a purchase. W. J. Cheyney, executive director of the Retail Credit Institute of America, urged that the bans be dropped “reasonably soon” but warned that all types of restrictions on all types of credit must be relaxed equally to prevent hardships on any one class of credit buyers. Pointing out that the washing machine industry alone will be operating at 100 per cent of capacity civilian output within a month, he said that relaxation of controls would prove “extremely advantageous to buyers and industry alike.”

Price Control Enough

Richard Stout, president of the Morris Plan Bankers association, said that price controls provide adequate safeguards against inflation. If price controls are continued, he said, the credit controls should be “wiped off the. books.” Lynwood P. Harrell, executive vice president of the Morris Plan Bank of Washington, felt that removal of unnecessary controls would give business “the incentive to go ahead with expansion and make possible the employment of 60,000,000 persons—the goal of the government planners.” Among the consumer items on which the production lid was lifted last night, some of them immediately and some effective on Aug.

* 31 and Sept. 30, were matches, a

long list of chemicals, including vitamin A and cellophane; caskets, dry cell batteries, films, paper cups, copper, asbestos, platinum, silver, wax paper, electric equipment, rubber processing machinery, dental equipment, pig iron, silk, sanitary napkins, cotton duck, leathers, slab zinc, lead and tin scrap, machine tools and cattle tail and horse mane hair,

Shoe Output Aided

The lifting of the limitation on various types of leather will mean sharply increased shoe production and foreshadows an early end of shoe rationing, according to WPB officials. Krug said industry agreed to do all in its power to step up output to high levels. He promised that the government will keep hands off during the reconversion period provided the transition is orderly. “The nation faces a remobilization of industry on a scale that matches the mobilization for war,” Krug said. “We all have a tremendous stake in the speed with which this remobilization is accomplished. “In his recent letter to me, President Truman said that every opportunity must be given to private busi~ ness to exercise its ingenuity and forcefulness in speeding the resumption of civilian production. We do not want to perpetuate government controls. WR do want industry to solve its problems in the traditional American spirit of ‘let's get the job done!”

WISCONSIN CLAIMS BIGGEST WHITE PINE

MADISON, Wis, (U. P,).—Wisconsin now claims the white pine champlonship of the world. A huge white pine tree recently was discovered in Forest county, Wisconsin, by United States Forest Ranger Louis Tausch. The big tree's circumference of 16 feet 10 inches beats the former champion white pine, near Eveleth, Minn., by two feet two inches. Other measurements of the new champion include: diameter, five feet four inches; total height, 140 feet; maximum crown spread, 48 feet,

All were being transferred to the Grand hotel. The team also located 317 internees in 10 different places in Peiping, all of whom were reported comfortably quartered. The Japanese were said to be maintaining law and order but internees were advised to stay put because of the feeling of the Japanese troops. The liberated American prisoners were receiving gond care, the team reported, but one was in such serious condition from oeri-beri that he was unable to travel by air, Takahashi Reports The report on the Peiping operation was sent to Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer by Lt. Gen. Takahashi, chief of staff of the Nortn China garrison. A report from Shanghai said the team landed safely there and was staying with the Swiss consul until further arrangements could be made, The team contacted the internment camp leaders and made plans to visit it. However, the Japanese requested the Americans not to enter Nanking and other| areas of occupled China until the| formal surrender. The Canton team reported that]

Cold at First

| “The reception was cold at first {but ended on a co-operative, friendly basis,” the report said. “The troops were hostile. Since Gen. Tomita has not received any official notice that the war is over except by the imperial edict heard on the radio he could not assure the safety of the team and requested that they return to friendly territory.” He said that when he had official word from Nanking he would cooperate in aiding the ‘American prisoners. He reported prisoners in his jurisdiction were getting the best possible care under existing conditions but said allied aid would be welcome, The names of the rescued Doo-

ing reports to their next of kin. The rescue of the fliers was revealed only 48 hours after another parachute rescue team reported the liberation of Lt. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright, hero commander of Bataan and Corregidor, from a prison camp north of Mukden, Manchuria, At last reports, the paratroops were en route south to Mukden with Wainwright and it was anticipated that he would be flown to Chungking within the next few days. Moscow announced the Red army’s capture of Mukden early today. The paratroops apparently were continuing their work despite Japan's protest to Gen. Douglas MacArthur yesterday that the] rescues “hampered” the surrender of Japanese troops.

Famous Flight to Tokyo Caused Panic

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (U. P.). —A ‘Japan which thought it had won the Pacific war got its first taste of panic on April 18, 1942, when 80 U. S. fliers sped over Tokyo and four other enemy cities in history's first air raid on the Japanese homeland. Of the 80 fliers, 64 survived crash landings in China and returned. PFive landed in Russia and were interned for a while, two were reported missing, and one was killed. The other eight were captured by Japanese forces in China, and subsequently the Tokyo radio reported some of them had been executed. The airmen, whose bold stroke lifted U. S. morale in one of the blackest periods of the war, were led by Lt. Gen. James H. Doolitfle, then a lieutenant colonel. ‘They flew 16 twih-engined B-25 bombers, named Billy Mitchells in honor of America's leading pioneer of aerial warfare. In addition to being the first

After bombing and strafing Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kobe and Osaka, all but the one which maae it to Siberia were forced to crash-land in China The raid caught the Japanese by surprise and the enemy radio candidly admitted that panic ensued. When the Japanese radio reported that some of the captured airmen had been executed, President Roosevelt called it murder. He said it would make the American people “more determined than ever to blot out the shameless militarism of Japan.”

TRUMAN ORDERS LEND-LEASE HALT

by the United States “in the interest” of this government. The President's order closed the valve of the greatest war supply program in history, under which more than 30 United Nations received all or part of their arms and military supplies from the so-called asenal of democracy,” the plants and farms of the United States. Reverse Lend-Lease The White House stalement did not allude to the reverse lend-lease program under which some of the allies—chiefly Britain; Australia,

little fliers were not revealed pend-| France and the lowlands—have sup- |

plied U. 8. forces with some munitions and materials in return for U. 8. lend-lease aid. Through 1944, reverse lend-lease has amounted to about $4,656,000,000 In the last eight months, the rate has risen rapidly, and a conservative estimate as of now, it was said, would put the total at nearly $6,No formal program for settlement of the lend-lease accounts has yet been made public. But the President's statements in the past and the statements of congressional committees concerned indicate that final settlement probably will involve cancellation of a good part of the obligations in connection with lend-lease goods consumed in the war effort.

ar. He charged that in some instances the cost of unravelling social security board “red tape” outweighed the amount of compensation allotted. He also defended the state administration's attitude toward the merit system, emphasizing that merit qualifications are still in effcet. These statements apparently were in reply to unofficial allegations that welfare personnel standards had been allowed to lapse in some districts.

‘State Control Better’

Noble R. Shaw, director of state employment security, declared that “there is no question but what the employment service could be administered better through the state.” It is now controlled by. the United States Employment Service. He charged the social security board with “deliberately jeopardizing” the employment security division by gradually “squeezing off” administrative funds to Indiana. He said the federal agency ‘dictated grants” and hoped to keep unemployment allotments among its post-war powers. In opening the forum, Governor Gates said he believed “free discussion between representatives of the state and congress will develop phases of present and proposed laws beneficial, not only to those participating, but to the people of Indiana.

Throughout the hearing, Quisling was kept under constant scrutiny by Dr. Johan Scharfenberg, a prominent Oslo psychiatrist assigned to observe Quisling’s reactions and determine ‘his mental status. Has No Explanation Quisling professed complete ignorance of the charges contained in the Nazi documents and said he was at a loss to explain the German leaders’ references to him in their

state records. “Well then,” the judge asked, “how do you account for it? Quisling is not a common name like Hansen or Jensen.” Quisling made no repiy. A letter written to Quisling to Adolf Hitler in July, 1940, also was |introduced. In it, the puppet leadier envisioned a greater “Germanic” state embracing Scandinavia. Quis{ling wrote he hoped the idea could 'be carried out without bloodshed ;and that he had “developed a plan ‘for action in Oslo” for that purpose. Questioned about the Oslo “action,” Quisling insisted he meant a { “peace action.” Both Solem and the prosecutor {pounced on that ‘statement, assert ing that the German invasion and occupation of Norway could not be regarded as peace moves, Quisling reiterated his contention [that he had not wanted the Ger- | mans to come to Norway to fight but to protect the country from the allies. He said he had saved Norway by “softening” relations with the Nazis. . Maj. Arne Brogger, special observer for U. 8S. Justice Robert Jackson of the United Nations war crimes commission, revealed that the Nazi documents were found during a search of captured German state records. The first big break came with the discovery last July of a diary kept {by Rosenberg, notorious Jew-baiter {and author of the Nazi racial laws. Clues uncovered in the diary led to the -iscovery of damning evidence against Quisling and sent allied experts to Nuernberg last week to question Goering, Rosenberg and other jailed Nazi leaders there.

Boy Sees Killing Young Sutton said that Mrs. Hartley ran from her home, pursued by her husband, but was felled by blows from the knife. Screaming for help, she struggled to her feet but /was beaten to her hands and knees ‘and decapitated, Sutton said. Hartley appeared unconcerned when taken into custody and while waiting in his cell, jail attendants said. One quoted a macabre joke by the prisoner that “it was the first time (Hartley) had ever been able to cut his wife off in the middle of a sentence.” Hartley's statement as issued by Kennett said that the couple “used to get real drunk and grab our big bolo knives and fight with them.” “We'd cut one another, but never too bad,” Hartley was quoted. “We respected each other's ability to protect ourselves. We'd also shoot at each other with guns, but we never hit one another. We never really aimed because we knew we could hit and kill at will Ida was a crack shot. “Awfully Jealous” “She often told me that sme day L would kill her. I was once arrested for threatening to kill my first wife. So I guess Ida wasn't surprised when I finally did it. She was awfully jealous.” Authorities were also investigating the legality of Hartley's second marriage.
