" In action, he Bays; They've seen
it win battles. They've seen It get
. things done. They've seen all the
marvels of disciplined organlza
' tion. They know it works, in Its
'.way.
; But, he adds, they DON'T LIKE
' IT. They want to be done with It
" as soon as possible. When they
' get out of uniform, they want to
run their lives In their own way.
He thinks they are GOING to.
THIS colonel is talking of GIs
and he thinks that when the
war is finally over and we re
turn to the. ways of peace they
will reinduct themselves into
: civilian ' life with surprisingly
little jolt or Jar. ,
He isn't so sure of the officers.
"A lot of these men who are
officers in this man's army," he
says, "are making more money
then they ever made before.. They
have acquired the habit of com
mandthe kind of command that
is based on rank rather than on
the building up of a business and
the meeting of payrolls with
EARNED money. And a consider
able number of them have been
touched wJth the tin-god divinity
that goes with having emblems
on your shoulders-rall the way
from gold bars to chickens. I
(ometimes doubt whether they'll
ever be able to recover from it."
THIS air corps colonel (who
never forgets that he came
Into the army out of civilian life
and is Just a civilian In uniform
and never lets anybody else for
get it, he says) is particularly
concerned pbqut the men in the
combat end of the air corps.
"They're a special brerd," he
says. "For years now they've
LIVED on excitement. The best
of them are a daredevil lot. In the
nature of things, they're the
heroes of this war. Whether
they'll be able to de-herola them
selves and get down to the or
dinary levels of civilian life in
time of peace is more than I'm
able at the moment to say."
It's true enough, he adds, that
after this war ends we're going to
have to maintain an airforce on
a military scale that we've never
dreamed of before, and this will
provide . temporary place for
those whose life is flying and who
wont be able to find a job with
the commercial air outfits.
HUT, he says, It won't he a
PERMANENT place. A combat
flier is old at SO, and a lot of
these boys will be rubbing 30
almost before they know it.
"When I let myself worry.
which is seldom," he says, "I do
a special Job of it in behalf of
these men of the combat end of
(he air force. Their Job of read
justment is going to be a big
one."

- By CharlM V. Stanton
World-wide attention Is focused this week upon the meet
ing of the Biff Three in Potsdam. Curiduely, the spotlight
which, fn previous meetings, was centered upon one who
sought and gloried in its revealing illumination, now, with
even greater brilliance, holds in its beams an humble man
whom fate has placed in a most difficult role. Whereas
the late President Roosevelt gloried in occupying front stage
center, his stand-in, without seeking the lead in the tense
drama of the day, nevertheless is cast in a part which to
me audience practically excludes the other leading char
acters. How well can Truman play the part assigned to him,
following, as he does, a man artful and practiced on the
international stage? That is thq question on the lips of
millions today. . .
Truman has one great advantage : He has a sympathetic
audience.
Roosevelt had become to the world n svmhnl nf frwvlom
and democracy. He had become to many unfortunate
peoples the personification of liberty. His tilace was
peculiarly personal one glorification of the man himself
rather than his position as leader of a great nation, founded
upon the principles of freedom and democracy. It is diffi
cult to envision Truman in such an exalted role. But he has
the opportunity to shift the spotlight from himself to the
flag he carries.
Personally, we believe Truman will emerge from the Big
Three conference fully successful in the task upon which he
has embarked, elevated in public opinion to full rank and
calibre with his two distinguished conferees. .
We anticipate, however, that Churchill and Stalin "will
find the tone of the Potsdam conference somewhat different
than previous meetings of big power representatives.
Critics of the late Mr. Roosevelt often claimed it was easy
to sell him a "bill of goods," and that in his extreme
idealism and internationalism, he failed, in some instances,
to fully protect the interests of the United States. Whether
that criticism is based on fact probably will hot be known
until all information on those meetings becomes public. But
we predict that Mr. Truman will be hard to "sell" on any
thing that could in any way be construed as adverse to our
national or international interests.
While Mr. Truman, judging from his actions since taking
over the duties of president, is not lacking in idealism, he
demonstrates an extremely practical nature.
In one respect he exemplifies tho virtues of the animal
associated with the skate of his nativity as well as the party
he represents. ,
The mule is an independent, yet affectionate and trust-;
worthy animal. . He is a hard worker and will carry heavy
loads without complaint He is extremely sure-footed and
will find his way unfailingly in darkness or in storm. But
he isn't afraid of anything or anyone and about the most
dangerous stunt imaginable is to try to push him around.
we imagine Truman will be found most cooperative in
attempting to reach accord on important problems brought'
Deiore tne uig lhree meeting. But we doubt very much
if he will be "sold short," nor do we anticipate he will accept
appeasement in any shape or form in exchange for personal
aggrandizement.
Truman does not appear to be awed by the company with
which he is associated. Appearances indicate he has formu
lated definite opinions with regard to the course to be pur
sued and that the opinions have been formed only after
careful study and deliberation, in which he sought counsel
from congressional leaders and men familiar with inter
national affairs.
Truman hns won the confidence of the country. Despite
the fact that he has served for only a few months, he has
received widespread approval for his cabinet shake-ups,
his democratic policies, his cooperation with Congress and
his recognition that part of the United States lies west of
the Mississippi river. Undoubtedly ho is fully aware of
the confidence and support he enjoys and is bolstered by
this fact as he enters into the all-imiwtant conference. We
believe he will prove himself well qualified for the trust
imposed in him by the American people.

Japan Awaiting
Decisive Moment
Paper Declares
SAN FRANCISCO, 'July 1S.
(AP) The Japanese Domel news
agency said in a radio broadcast
yesterday that "our forces are
waiting for the decisive moment
to smash the enemv. bovonrt hie
ability to recover, with one deadly
The dispatch declared: .
"Our crack army and navy
forces are not permitting these
enemy activities without, a
counter strategy. '.
"For that decisive moment of
battle, it Is vitally necessary that
we preserve our strength and
strike with lightning effect. We
must not move until the time is
rloe. We must not Dlav lnta thp
enemy's hands."
Domei's broadcast was made
Just before the U. S. Third fleet,
for the third time In four days,
stood off the shores of Jaoan and
shelled industrial targets. '
Domei frankly pointed out that
the fleet was mdulcing in "sys
tematic" attempt to destroy mili
tary ana production acuities, that
soutnern japans Kyusnu island
nas come witnin tne perimeter
of land based American Planes
on Okinawa and Iowa Jima. and
that the B-29s ranee from Kvushu
to n.amo in me norm.
Past Wars Recalled
Recalling the fleet attacks were
the first on the Japanese home
land since the British, Dutch and
American fleets attacked Shim-
Onosekl in 1864, Domei brooded:
"This bluntly reveals the ser
iousness of the war situation."
Domei also recalled the Russo
Japanese war and that on August
4, 1904, Admiral Kamimura de
feated the Russians and gained
control of the Japan sea.
"As in 1904, the Japanese must
also await the right moment."

Anent these controversies about

Some 17,000 farm dwellers are
killed in accidents yearly in this
country. That is equal to wiping
out the entire population of

Time lost from farm accidents
last year equaled that required
to produce five bushels of wheat
for every person in the United
States.
- Careful checking of all canning
equipment before using may pre

ning Is the same as inviting an
accident to happen.
More farm people were killed
by accidents in the first two years
America was in the war than
there were Americans killed In
the war Itself.
One in 37 farms had a dis
astrous experience wifn fire in
the five-year period 1936-40. Care

many from disaster.
Two-fifths of the total farm
accidents in 1943 occurred in the

An average of 10 live are lost
