; Inscribed on the Scottish va?
memorial in Edinburgh are these
lines, by Lawrence Binyon: :
"They shall not grow old as we
that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them nor
the years condemn, , j
At the going down of the sun
and,, in the morning j
We iwill remember them." i
i Today is the day of remem
brance. It is made more vivid by
the year's grim toll of war dead.
We think of the bright young men
whose lives were blasted on D
day last June, or in the fighting
around St Lo, Jn the mountains
before Bologna, on Leyte, at . the
crossings of the Roer and the
Rhine, on -Iwo Jima. We grievel
that 1 they are cut down before
tasting the fruit of life in years
of maturity.
But have they not won an im
perishable glory for themselves in
thus becoming sacrifices on the
altar ' their country and of its
ideals and aspirations? Not the
glory of personal fame and re
nown, for most of these i warrior
dead are known only to a limited
circle of relatives and friends; but
in the glory of the group who lived
and i strove and died and not : in
vain.
It was from similar sacrifices
of men whose names survive only
in records that this country's in
dependence was won and its unity
preserved, oucn sacruices wsumj
the safety of the western world in
1914-1918. Now the story is re
peated as millions of men bare
their breasts to save a nation and
the principles for which it stands.
If life is measured not by years
butj by achievement, these men
have lived full lives. Their blood,
spilled in youth, has fertilized the
soil of our history to make it bear
richer fruit in years to come. Cu
off jn life's springtime "they shall
not I grow old because they
achieve an immortality in a re-
'vitalized nation.
This is the comfort which I hope
may sustain those whose hearts
go out this day to loved ones who
will never return.-

Wiped Out by
U. S. Firebombs
By Hamilton W. Faron '
GUAM, Wednsday, May 30.-
-The heart of Tokyo has been
wiped out by the superfortress
firebomb raids, 21st bomber com
mand headquarters announced to
day while squadrons of the B-29s
were returning from an incendi
ary assault on Yokohama, new
target for. the big planes. .
Maj. Gen. Curtis E. Lemay,
commander of the 21st bomber
command, said photographs show
ed that more than 51 square miles
of Nippon's capital, including
areas surrounding the imperial
palace, lay in ashes as the result
of six fire raids.
Nearly 500 superforts hit Yo
kohama yesterday in the biggest
daylight aerial strike against Jap-
' an, j igniting . block after' block; of
. the; port city with 3,200 tons of
fires bombs. :
The B-29s from Marianas bases
turned their fire-raiding attention
to Yokohama for the first time
after their attacks on Tokyo. ;
; (The 20th air force command
announced In Washington that
two bombers were lost.. This con
trasted with 19 lost over Tokyo
In last Saturday's raid, heaviest
B-29 loss yet sustained.) 1
The raid, carried out by wave
after wave of B-29s in their third
theavy strike at Japan in the last
six days, brought an admission of
"considerable damage" from Jap-
anese imperial headquarters. An
enemy communique, broadcast by
radio Tokyo, said the attack last
ed for an hour and a half.

Bags Are
Over U. S.
In 3 Days
WASHINGTON, May 29-i5VA
government official said tonight
that Japan's bomb-carrying bal
loons being-sent against America
are launched in the home islands
and are controlled byan auto
matic ballast-dropping device.
Lyle F. Watts, chief of the UJS.
forest service, said the balloons
made of five layers of silk paper
and 35 feet in diameter are
launched at Japanese war plants
where officials "make a lot of
speeches and stir up workers to
a frenzy."
The hydrogen - filled balloons
ascend to heights of 25,000 to
35,000 feet.
"When the balloon drops to
27,000 feet a bomb is released.
The balloon goes back up, then
down again and another incen
diary is released and so on. When
the last incendiary is dropped, a
fuse is ignited automatically and
sets off a demolition charge which
destroys the balloon." .
.The only balloons found on the
ground are defectives.
Watts said the balloons travel
up to 125 miles an hour, taking
from 80 to 120 hours (3 to 5 days)
to reach this country. He said as
many as possible are shot down.
The forestry chief said "We are
less worried about this Japanese
balloon attack than we- are with
matches and smokes in the hands
of good Americans hiking and
camping in the woods." v

Delay Attacked
By James F, King
4 LONDON, May 29.-)-A bitter
fight - between Prime i Minister
ChiHThm j and former: laborite
members of his wartime coalition,
cabinet developed in commons to
day over responsibility for the
coming July 5 general j election. 1
LabOrites accused the prime
minister of staging a 'rush" elec
tion that would deprive hundreds
of thousands of voters on holiday
of a chance to cast their ballots.
Churchill retorted angrily: j
"All of these difficulties would
have been removed to a later date
if representatives of labor and
the liberal parties had I consented
to go on without any election at
all for as long as the war with
Japan continues." 1
Meanwhile, Churchill named
Britain's chief prosecutor of Ger
man war criminals but told an
impatient j house of commons the
trial should not begin "until they
are properly arranged and a meth
od agreed! upon between the great
powers.
Attorney General Sir David
Maxwell Fyfe, who was nominat
ed to th big powers; board of
prosecution, will serve with su
preme xourt justice ; Robert j H.
Jackson of the United States and
the representatives of France and
Russia - yet to be chosen. ." . ..v I
Churchlirs implication that tha
trials of ! Hermann Goering and
other nazi big shots would have to
wait until various details were)
worked out among the allied pow
ers supported a statement by Jus
tice Jackson yesterday! that they
could not; start for "some time."
A member of Churchill's own
conservative) party, Lt Col An
thony A. I Marlowe, led the com
mons chorus against the seeming
delay in getting started when ha
demanded; of the premier whether
he would see that high nazis were
"dispatched with maximum speed
and, pending that, they, are main
tained in prison cells and not in
hotels." ' ;
Marlow', amid cheers, describ
ed the -tangled machinery" of the?
proposed trials as anj "inappro
priate fanre" . j
John McGovern of the Independ
ent labor party interjected sarcasm
tically, "will you see that thesa
criminals fere given adequate sup
plies of chicken, wine and cham
pagne?". U j I
