Calendar of Coming Events May 23 Hope chapter, OES, Masonic temple, 7:30 p.m. Isolaton of Shuri Looms as Yanks Capture Yonabaru (Continued from Page 1) posed the way to possible com plete isolation of Shuri by all odds the toughest island fortress which has yet come under Amer ican guns in the Pacific war. The Japanese still are resisting bitterly. Infantry killed 1,000 enemy troops in fierce hand-to-hand fighting. Yonabaru lies at the southwest corner of Nakagusuku Bay, an excellent naval anchorage. The bay soon will be open to Ameri can shipping. Four army and murine divi sions tightened a pincers on Shuri, midway between Naha and Yonabaru. Operations there were slowed, however, by heavy rains and mud. . The entire advance along the 4.-UUSIU1 uiuius ui ine east coast was made possible by the 96th division's thorough mopping up of the ridges and hills south of Conical hill. Conical hill previ ously had given 'the Japanese a dominating view of the northern approaches to Yonabaru. . United States wai ships moved in to support ..the Yonabaru ground attack, although neither vessels njr jjhoj'esfeus.od' artillery opened up until the drive was well under way.- E-Bond Quota Is Passed By Imbler War Loan Sales (Continued from age 1) Meantime, tne men s groups oi the committee : are emphasizing the investment value of war bonds as a hedge against infla tion and to iit aside as a nest egg against the time when civil ian goods of many wanted kinds, Out not now available, will be back on the market. They are urging especially that farmers who have savings ear marked for post-war investment in new buildings, machinery or other major improvements, put the money into war bonds. They point out that should an emergency arise, the bonds can oe converted into cash on short notice, meanwhile giving the gov ernment the use of the money for prosecuting the war against Japan, From an investment point of view, the bonds also offer an at tractive outlet for surplus cash, they point out, as every bond held until maturity will bring its owner interest amounting to 33 13 per cent of its initiul cost. Navy is "Investing" The investment feature of war bonds is lite subject of a state ment issued today by Admiral Harold R. Stark, commander of the U. S. naval forces in Europe. who said: The word 'invest' has several meanings. In one sense the word means to lay siege to attack. In another, it means to lay out capital for permanent use. The navy, I am proud to say, is 'in vesting' in both sense. Today we are laying siege to, attacking, the enemy with ull our might. "Today, also the American gov ernment is providing the oppor- unily, to ull of us, for laying by our savings for productive use in the days to come. "for the sake of our families. for the high sake of our country, we must continue to 'invest' and I invest', attack and save, until the enemy is ouis, until the future is ouis."

Uncle Sam in No Hurry To Send Nazi Prisoners Of War Back to Reich 3, . ic,,,. r in Prisoners of war will have to wait for transportation home and they will have to earn their keep. Thousands are needed to alleviate manpower shortage on farms. Bv S. BURTON HEATH WASHINGTON, (NEA) Ger many's unconditional surrender does not involve immediate re patriation for the three to four hundred thousand nuzi prisoners- of war now in the United States. Many or most of them will re main behind American barbed wire for some time to come. The Genevu convention, which controls Ithe bundling of such captives, provides thut "the re patriation of prisoners shall be effected with the least possible deluy after the conclusion of peace." Army representatives decline to speculate on just how this will be applied, and content them selves with referring to Article 75 of the convention. But there is reason for believing thut the timing of such repatriation will be done realistically, with the war against Japan in mind. Fear Lawless By far the. largest proportion of our nazi prisoners urc still held in Europe. The sooner wc turn them luose, the shorter the time we must feed them, and the less shipping wc need divert to hauling supplies for them. Noi is there any advantage to us in feeding captured enemy soldiers 3000 calories a day while wo re quire ex-enemy civilians to live on 1150 calories of their own sup plies. But wc can not just open the stockade gutes and let close to two millions of irresponsible ox fighters wonder footloose through the liberated countryside. A wave of lawlessness close to an archy might result. The more mechanics of tuklng prisoners buck to Germany, and turning them loose with a minimum ol disruption to our military gov ernment administration, involve! considerable planning ad time. Meawhilc, the French and perhaps others would like tc have the nuzis clean up mine fields and make the countrysidi safe for living, farming, traveling. The number of nazi pnsoneis in this country is in question. A of April 1 it was 311,630, with aother 100,000 scheduled to be brought over because we need their services. For security rea sons, until May figures are re leased, one can only guess that i' bout one-fourth of thut addi tional 100,000 already has arrived. One consideration against im- mediutc repatr iation of these mer is that we need their lubor. Without deviating from the term; of the Genevu convention, we can hold them until enough Gl's huve been demobilized and enough wur workers released to perform the important tasks the prisoners now are doing. Even more important is ship ping. Every vessel we possess is going to be very busy for some ST I fx BRITISH WELCOMED NEAR a :d Yuqoslav pstrlols. carryinq of Brili.ih. Eighm, army entering (! - esie, time carrying our men and ma terial from Europe to this coun' tiy and to the Pacific theater, and building up stores there for the wur against Japan, mean while supplying our occuputlon army in Germany. It seems unlikely that the pri soners' desire to get back home will be gratified ut the expense of our Pacific war needs. They will have to wait, and earn their keep meanwhile by workjng. Because this war ends in un conditional surrender rather than an indecisive armistice, we are in position to enforce demands that American captives be freed by the Germans, and to move them home before we do any worry ing about getting the nazis back to the rcich. Interim Cabinet To Serve Britain Pending Election (Continued from age 1) years and for the appointment of a "caretaker" government to serve in the interim period under Churchill. The new cabinet will exclude members of the labor party, which forced a showdown by re jecting Churchill's plea that it remain in the coalition until Jupun has been defeated.

Wall street analysts attributed the sell-off largely to technical reasons, pointing ou thut a re action has been overdue after the ' recent extended neriod of rising prices. That it came today, these quar-; ters indicated, was principally because of yesterday's action by Rep. Gearhart, R., Cal., in intro ducing a Dill to permit a 30 per cent wage increase, and some uncertainty created bv the gov ernment crisis in England. Business and industrial news generally was favorable. In the stock market such lead ers as Santa Fe, Cuterpillur trac tor, Bethlehem Steely Chrysler, Goodrich, American Sugar Re fining American Power & Light preferred and American & For eign Power 2nd preferred were off a point or more.
