INVASION OF JAP HOMELAND MOST LIKELY

U. S. Hopes To Conclude Pact

WASHINGTON, July 9. (UP)—The United States hopes to conclude a formal, four-powei pact committing this country, r.ussia, Britain and France to a uniform, long-term program for control of Germany, it was learned today. President Truman, it was said will present the single policy proposal to Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Jose! Stalin at the forthcoming Big Three meeting near Berlin. Its acceptance would present a new challenge to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the great-soldier-diplomat who united the allies so effectively in war. As U. S. member of the Allied Control Commission for Germany, Eisenhower would have the job of fitting the American plan in wit! the ideas of his Russian. British and French counterparts. The United States is prepared with two plans for German occupation—a short-term, “emergency” progiam for one to fivt years, to be followed by a longterm plan to run, in the words of one official, “for many decades it as long as it takes to develop a peaceloving people.” The first, known as directive 1067, is already reported functioning in the American zone oi occupation. This plan, as yet unpublished, was approved in April by the informal policy committee on Germany made u[ of representatives of the State War, Navy and Treasury De partments and the Foreign Eco pomic Administration.

churia.’’

That, however, is a problem to be solved not before invasion but afterwards, when it may 4 .‘-olve itself. American attention iKa is focused at present on the home islands. Gen Douglas MacArthur, commander of the American land forces, has made it clear he does not contemplate a detour against Japan by way of

China.

An American landing on the Chinn coast is possible, but it would be designed to open a fullscale sea supply route to the Chinese armies to enable them to lulfill the important task assigned to them. As it shapes up. the Americans are primarily concentrated on Japan itself, lending such aid as may be necessary to China and the southwest Pacific. MacArthur, for instance, is in command of the Borneo invasion, which is being conducted by the Australian troops. The British and Imperial forces have the formidable job of smashing the enemy in southeastern Asia, including Singapore and the Dutch Indies. China draws the assignment of clearing the Japanese from their own country and perhaps collaborating in the re-conquest of Manchuria. In a message on the eighth anniversary of the war with Japan, Generalissimo Chian;, Kai-Shek said China can carry the “main burden" on the Asiatic continent. Chiang did not specifically refer to Manchuria. If Russia enters the war against Japan, the situation would be radically altered. It would be an entirely different war on the Asiatic mainland. Russia's position quite possibly will be clarified after the big three mteting this month.

The chief sa.d there wasn't any public showing of milady's naked long limbs and midriffs any more. He said they go board the busses fully clothed to go to the swimming beach a! though he was not able to explain how some of them were able to pop out at the beach already attired for a quick coal piling. Meanwhile the chief gets plenty of mail each day. Most praise him but there are a fev

Food Shortages Can Be Expected WASHINGTON. July 9.(UP)—American housewives car expect shortages in such important food categories as meat, sugar, fats and oils to be with them at least until spring of

Prospects are that meat supplies for this fall and winter will be no better than last year. While there will be an increase in beef marketings, that will be offset by a further cut in the pork supply. Officials believe there will be no real improve- j ment until late next spring when j both beef and pork are expected ] to be more plentiful.
