Gen. Daniel I. Sultan, newly-appointed inspector gen eral of the army. Gen. Sultan, just back from the Burma-India theater where he was in command for eight months, said that he was con vinced the war would last at least another year, "but I hope not two years." His exprience with the Nippon ese soldier in action, he said, had convinced him "as a race they are not going to quit until they're thoroughly licked." He classed as one of the phe nomena of the war the fact each Jap captured believes he is the first to have been taken prison r. "You have to show him other Japs to convince him," Sultan said. Reviewing his command in the Burma-India theater, Sultan said the American mission there has been completed. Communica tions have been opened, he add ed, and supplies for the Chinese will be shipped through there un til a coast port is made available. 7&W evad a time , . . we chased swatted The inhabitants of Sumerian Ur, as early as 3500 B.
