The half-starved Japanese garrison of 1067 troops on’ Maloelap atoll surrende¥ed. The Aiuerican flag will be raised formally on the atoll Monday. At Bougainville, frail, weak Japanese Lt. Gen. Mastane Kanda surrendered the Solomon Islands to Australian forces. In Bight of Palace

MacArthur formally ordered the Blars and Stripes raised over the American embassy in Tokyo within sight of Emperor Hiroaito's palace at 11:00 a m. (9:00 p. m. Friday, Indianapolis time), with the words: “Let. it wave in its full glory as a symbol of hope for the oppressed and as a harbinger of victory for the right.” The flag was the one which flew from the capitol in Washington on Pearl Habor day in 1941 and later waved in triumph over Berlin and Rome, as well as from the mast of “he battleship MifSourt during Ja~ pan’s formal surrender last Sunday. MacArthur returned to his headquarters at Yokohama after the ceremony. Transfer of his headquarters to Tokyo awaited establishment of ample office and ilving quarters for his staff, Sleep on Parade Grounds

i The occupation troops, first foreign army to enter Tokyo in her Jong history, bedded down for the night in the former imperial guard division barracks and in tents on the parade ground near the shrine of Emperor Meiji, father of Hiro~ hito. Only 2500 troops were In Tokyo at the time of the flag-raising ceremony, but the number was exJected to approach 15,000 by nightBoutin spectators watched the troop columns with interest. Some civilians and officers saluted. Many children waved. No unfriendly gestures were reported. Two Jeeps Are First

~~ First units of the 1st cavalry di- ~ yision entered the capital in two Jeeps at 7:25 a. m. (5:35 p. m. Friday, Indianapolis time). They drove up to Hirohito's moated . palate grounds, where they unfurled their battalion, divisional and national flags. a Another advance reconnaissance party drove past the imperial diet building into downtown Tokyo. Scores of office employees en route tu work stopped to stare at signal corps trucks which halted in downtown streets to transmit press dispatches direct to the United States. MacArthur and’ his staff - drove into Tokyo from Yokohama behind two jeeps loaded with armed military police. Japanese gendarmes lined both sides of the highway for practically the whole 20-mile route, Cancels Parade

MacArthur at the last minute cancelled plans for a formal victory parade through the streets of Tokyo to the American embassy. Advance units marched from Hirohito's palace and from the diet building to the embassy, but other troops rode directly to the embassy, As MacArthur's big sedan rolled to a stop on the embassy driveway shortly after 11 a. m. (9 p. m. Friday, Indianapolis time), noncoms barked, “attention,” and the first cavalry band played the general's march. Husky cavalrymen of Troop PF of the and squadron of the 7th regiment stood with bayonetted rifles along the walk leading from the parking area behind the white stucco, - box-like embassy office building to the empty garden pool. Halsey There Too

Adm: William PF, Halsey, commander of the 3d fleet, and Lt. Gen. Robert Eichelberger, commander of the 8th army, strode with MacArthur in the vanguard of 13 prominent guests to a microphone before the pool. Regimental banners massed behind” the pool added a touch of eolor. MacArthur appeared grim-faced but spoke clearly and calmly as he directed the raising of the flag. Eichelberger saluted and gave the orders. As the band played the “Star Spangled Banner,” Sgts, Cowen Hover of Humboldt, Kas, and Charles R. Shropshear of Jackson, O, slowly hoisted the flag to \ the top of the staff of the embassy shancellery. 7-Minute Ceremony

ti Lt, Col. Eugene Walsh, a Cathodic chaplain, delivered a short prayer dmploring God to ald the world in keeping the peace. The band struck | up “The Stars ~ and Stripes Forever” and the cere- ~ money ended at 11:12 a. m. (9:12 P: m. Friday, Indianapolis time). MacArthur stepped back and 4 shook hands with Eichelberger. ' A Then he put out his hand to Halsey, sptaned and said: i

LAY CRUELTY TO JAP STUPIDITY

Saigon Yanks Say Koreans Are Real ‘Sadists.’

By STEWART HENSLEY United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD C-47 TRANSPORT EN ROUTE TO CALCUTTA, Sept. 7 (Delayed) .—Ten’ bronzed American prisoners of war, on their way to Caloutta after being liberated from a Saigon prison camp, told me today that’ they hoped the allies give the Japanese a tough peace because “that’s the only way they will learn anything.” All 10 of the men were counting the hours until they reached the United States, and the strain of it showed in their faces, but they tried to be falr when they talked about their jailers. : “The Japanese are brutal mostly because they're stupid,” one said. “The higher officers kick the lower boys around, and they think that's the way the whole world is run. They just don’t know any better.” Koreans Called Sadists But they said guards were a different dish—the Koreans were sadists who liked to. see men suffer. They did their tort g for the fun of it. Sev of the men aboard this plane are from the famous cruiser Houston, that went down after the battle of the Java sea, and the other three are fleld artillerymen of the 131st battalion which was captured on Java. One. seaman said, “boy, do I want to get to. America, I can't exactly say it, but just being an American has meant a lot during these past three years. I guess a lot of us wouldn't have pulled through it it hadn't been for the won-| derful future that America offered we just had to hold out.” Although scarred by ‘the brutal {treatment they had received from Korean guards while working on the Moulmein-Bangkok railway in Burma, most of the men-who received much better treatment when they were transferred to Saigon— were in pretty good physical condition. They were all amazed at the extent of preparations which had been made for them. Each man got new clothes and a Red Cross kit with many articles that he had ceased to believe existed, They were supplied with hot food before we started, théy got hot food aloft, and they get more of the same

Latham, °* “Something snapped in. him, There is something wrong some~ where,” reiterated Mrs. Colby, who 1s 60. The petition will be signed by community residents and sent on to Rep.

Mr, Latham said. Dozens of letters have come to the Colbys this week, offering to help in the fight to save her boy Mrs, Colby said. “One woman offered to take me to Washington, buf I don't think that going there would help me,” said Mrs. Sely. ” FOUR OTHER little churches in Indiana have sent word to her that they are praying for her son. There will be no special prayer services for Colby tomorrow at the Geetingsville Preshyterian church, but “he will be mentioned directly or indirectly in our prayrs.’ sald the Rev, Latham. ——A special prayer meeting the convicted slayer was held two weeks ago at the church.

His supply of narcotics was reduced and he now is reported cured. If

_|it were shown that depriving him

of drugs endangered his life there would be considerable sentiment

among senior mémbers of the trial group to give bim all he needed so that he might lve to die dishonorably if convicted. (London reports said not only that Goering has been cured of his drug ‘habit but that he is in perfect health for his trial.) The German prisoners were described as an unprepossessing lot, some sexually perverted and others accustomed to the habitual use of drugs. The proof against them is so complete, conclusive and unanswerable as to astonish even officials who knew the men were guilty but foresaw some technical difficulties in obtaining satisfactory proof.

Painstaking Preparation The four powers are determined to make an “indisputable record” in the master trial. It will be of such detailed and overwhelming nature as to make it impossible 10 or 20. or 30 years from now for

anyone to start a propaganda campaign to show that the trials were unfair. The method of execution has not been determined. The United States army opposes shooting convicted war criminals because militaty men regard death by gunfire as an

hanged. Others may also be executed but it is not unlikely that the 300,000 to 400,000 additional trials now foreseen Will much more often end in prison or forced labor sentences. Anyway, that is a matter for local courts. In deciding to indict the entire 8.8. and gestapo as criminal organizations, the four powers have avoided so far any decision ¢n the German general staff.

New Radios Now Coming on’

Market at

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (U. P). ~New radios are coming on the market right now.

Within ‘a’ few weeks frequency modulation and television sets also

1will be on sale, the war production

board said today. . At the same time a WPB official revealed that iestrictions on the sale of refrigerators to civilians will be lifted by mid-Ocigber. Present type radios will sell within the 1942 price range, according te the office of price administration. WPB radio experts expect FM sets to sell ut about 10 per cent higher, Television sets will sell from $100 up to $350 \ No Estimate Made Neither WPB ' nor the Radio Manufacturers association would estimate the number of FM and television sets that will be magutactured. It is likely to be small for the present because the federal communications commission has to change the frequencies of a number of M experimental stations. In addition, the only television transmitters throughout the country are in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. But the regular type sets will be produced at record rate. By the end of the year 3400,000 sets will be manufafctured. A total of 13,500,000 sets were produced in 1941, and the WPB estimates that an evén larger number will be produced during "1946.

Expert Finds D.

'42 Price Range

The only thing. delaying radio production—there was no reconversion problem in this industry—is wood for cabinets. The 106 radio manufacturers afe experimenting with plastics, aluminum and a combination of wood and aluminum or steel. There is also a temporary shortage of variable condensers and some Somponents for loud speakers. nh Relilgorator Lid off The lid has been off the production of refrigerators for several weeks but the first-ones made had to be reserved for distribution to essential users such as the armed services, hospitals, laboratories and doctors, : The WPB expects that when refrigerators are released for general sale, sometime before Oct. 15, there will be in the neighborhood of 150, - 000 units available: Meanwhile, the WPB disclosed that the domestic washing machine industry was reconverting much faster than had been anticipated. During the quarter year ending Sept. 30 the industry now expects to have turned out 75,000 machines -25,000 more than previously forecast. - In the last ‘thiee months of this

year the industry is confident the

peacetime production rate of 500,-
