TASTE Japanese Ignore Ultimatum Of Three Powers Last Chance To Save National Existence B. R. H. SHACKFORD WASHINGTON, July 27 (UP) Jupan rejected the American British - Chinese surrender ulti matum today despite the clear warning she now faces "prompt and utter destruction" by the mighty allied land, sea und air forces assembled in the Pacific. The Japanese stand was an nounced by the government-controlled Domei news agency in a dispatc hsaying Japan will ignore the allied ultimatum issued yes terday in Potsdam und will fight on ',to the bitter end." Last Chance By its stund, the Japunese gov ernment itself rejected the last opportunity to halt the war with out ending Japan's national ex istence and without bringing un told misery ad suffering lo her people. President Truman, former Prime Minister Winston Chur chill und Chinese Generalissimo Chiung Kai-Shek made clear yes terday what Japan will receive if she rejects Iheir final terms for ending the war. ' Laid Waste Pointing out that swarms of allied aircraft and hundreds of thousands of new troops were moving into the Pacific from the European theater, the three lead ers said: "The might that now converges upon Jupan is immeasurably greuter than that which, when applied to the resisting Germans, necessarily laid waste to the lands, the industry and the meth od of life of the whole German people. "The full application of our military power, backed by our resolve; will mean the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed forces and just as inevitably the utter devasta tion of the Japanese homeland."

"Rather than call us 'social out casts' we should be named 'honor guests,' " he said. 'We can have furloughs whenever we are not under treatment. We can choose any traveling companion und all expenses, first class, are paid for both of us." Dillon said the blind patients are fed ahead of all others, and attended classes for training in hobbies. The private was blinded by a rifle grenade while fighting in Lorraine, France. Many Popular Hits Used Chopin Tunes In n certain Columbia Pictures' comedy, released not long ago, there was a great farcical to-do over the coincidence of three mu sic composers allegedly creating the same melody and then dis covering the inspiration of each hud come from the same source, u romantic semi-classic. Certainly anyone seeing Colum bia Pictures' Technicolor produc tion, "A Song to Remember," story of the love of Chopin for George Sand, the woman novel ist, currently starring M. rlo Oberon with Paul Muni and fea turing Cornel Wilde (as Chopin) at the Liberty theater, starting Sunday, will be startled by the reminiscent sound of the many, romantic melodies. You may not know them by name but you'll know them by car not only in their original form but in the ver sions allegedly converted by Tin Pan Alley songsmiths into popu lar modern hits.

CUD SAFI - NO SOBA "z9 3 squore mi I ltkSIN lodor In fowiit or Taklal PAYLESS DRUG STORE Ruffing Beats A's In First Game On Return From Army Yanks in Tie For Third; Cubs Take Reds NEW YORK, July 27 (UP) It's too bad Yankee Manager Joe McCarthy wasn't around to see the old coal miner from Noko mis, 111., Charley (Red) Ruffing make his comeback on the pitch ing mound after nearly three yeurs in the army. It probably would have been more of a tonic than any medi cine thul could be prescribed for the veteran pilot. Up in Buffalo where he is recovering from u nervous ailment that made hiin want to resign as manager, it must have made him feel as if old times were back again when big Red beat the Athletics, 13 to 4. Fanned Six The entire team seemed to re spond to Ruffing's return and that if his rookie battery-mate, Catcher Aaron Robinson. To gether they formed baseball's first ex-GI battery. Ruffing, whose 13 year career with the Yankees bears a re markable parallel to McCurthy's, pitched the kind of a game for which he is famous. He knocked the heurt out of the opposition by retiring the first seven men in order, six of them on strikeouts. For six innings he gave up only two hits. The A's got lo him in the seventh for two more hits nnd a run, but he blames his feat of hitting a three bagger in the previous inning for that. The game was a lot like Ruf fing's last victorious appearance in the first game of the 1942 world series against the Cardin als at St. Louis. He held the Cards hitlcss for seven and two thirds innings to set a new world record. That was the only game the Yankees won in that series. Giving Ruffing solid support aguinst the A's, who have been playing the best ball in the lea gue of late despite their cellar position, the Yankees made 14 hits. Reds Win The victory put the Yankees into a three-way third place tie with Chicago and Boston, four games out of the lead. The Cubs capitalized on the appearance of their favorite op ponents, the Reds, at Chicago, winning, 2 to 1, to give Hank Wyse his 14th victory. It was the ninth victory without a de feat for the Cubs over the Reds this season. Third baseman Stan Hack drove in the winning run with, a single. He. also cut. off the tying run in the ninth, end ing the game by making a sesa tioal stabbing catch of a lier by Gerald Walker. The second place CaYds re mained four and a half games behind the Cubs, winning, 10 to 2, wilh an IB-hit attuck on three pitchers. Rookie Ken Brukhardt had no trouble winning his 11th game as every starter in the Card lineup made at least one hit. Augie Bergamo made four in a row lo run his string lo seven for two games. There wore no other games scheduled. Baseball Standings By United Press AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L.

As the three in one ull Ameri can tournaments entered the sec ond round at the Tain O'Shanter club, Nelson once again wus lead ing the field in the rich $57,733 men's open of which he is de fending champion. But he had to stage one of the most spirited i allies yesterday lo gel there, shooting' a 30-30 06 lo take a one stroke lead over his follow Texan and oldtime caddy pal, First Lt. Ben Hogan. Nelson gave it all he had on the back nine shaving six strokes from par to get in ahead of Hogan's crackling woods and pre cision irons. But the fighting Nelson heart, which carried him to all-time winning strer.k of eight straight individual tournaments, may have taken too much out of the greatest golfing machine the game bus ever known. In shooting that brilliant nine holes, in which he made one eagle and four birdies, Nelson pulled back muscle which has kept him on the sidelines for the past week. Yes, I didn't do my back any good. It hurts," he said. "And frankly, I don't think I'm going lo win this one. I'm afraid I shot my best round I gave it too much."
