Truman Warns Nippon.
Cities Will Be Razed
If War Is Continued
Washington, June 1 (IP) Pres
ident Truman today called for re
newed national effort in the war
against Japan.
He said the American force to
be used there would be more than
double the size of the present
army in the Pacific. This appar
ently meant that an, army of
nearly 4,000,000 will be used to
subdue Japan.
He threatened' Japan, with a
steadily-increasing air war and
urged Japanese civilians to leave
, their cities "it they wish to save
their lives."
Seta Forth Views
Truman set forth his views In
a 9,000-word special message to
congress on the status of the war.
It was an appael not only to con
gress hut to all of the nation
against any letdown from a false
sense of feeling that the Job Is
just about done.
. While telling in great detail of
elaborate plans for intensifying
the war against Japan, the pres
ident noted that the strength of
the army would be reduced from
8,300,000 to 6,968,000 in the next
year, making it possible to re
store a total of 2,000,000 officers
and men to their homes. He point
ed out though that this would be
possible only by maintaining se
lective service calls at A level sub
stantially higher than required
merely for combat replacements.
To Double Force'
"By maintaining our army at this
size," he told congress, "we shall
be able to more than double the
force we now have in the Pacific
and hurl against the Japanese an
overseas force larger than the
3,500,000 men who united with
our allies to crush the wermacht
and the luftwaffe."
The president said our military
'policy for the defeat of Japan'
calls for:
1. "Pinning down the Japanese
forces where they now are and
keeping them divided so they can
be destroyed piece by piece."
2. "Concentrating overwhelm
ing power on each segment which
we attack."
'3. "Using ships, aircraft, armor.
artillery and other materiel in
massive concentrations to gain
victory with the smallest possible
loss of life."
4. "Applying relentless and in
creasing pressure to the enemy
by sea, air and on the land, so
that he cannot rest, reorganize or
regroup his battered forces or
dwindling supplies to meet our
next attack."
Fate Pictured
"If the Japanese insist on con
tinuing resistance beyond the
point of reason," he told congress,
"their country will suffer the
same destruction as Germany.
"Our blows will destroy their
whole modern industrial plant and
organization, which they , have ;
built up during the past century
and which they are now devoting j
to a hopeless cause.
"We (lave no desire or Intention
to destroy or enslave the Japa- j
nese people. But only surrender:
can prevent the kind of ruin;
which they have seen come to j
Germany as a result of continued,
useless resistance."
White Deer Seen
By Local Man
On Little River
An albino deer, rare in any part
of the country, is grazing in the
upper Deschutes country, it was
reported today by Don H. Peo
ples, secretary of the Bend cham

that he saw the white deer about
200 yards- from the Vandevert
ranch house on the Little Des
chutes river.
According to Peoples, the odd
deer was one of four yearlings
running with a doe.
"I've always .heard of white
deer, but this is the first one I
have seen alive in my life," Peo
ples said.

At Bend Forum
With the declaration that we
have two enemies left, the Japs
and unemployment, JE. C. Sam
mons, Portland banker and chair
man of the economic committee
for the state of Oregon, last
night told an audience at the
Pine Tavern that "No one can
fall on the fighting front at home
now." The speaker was address
ing a town meeting of the Bend
chamber of commerce, attended
by nearly 100 persons.
Sammons, who touched lightly
upon his trips to Washington,
D. C, devoted much of his talk
to an eulogy of President Harry
Truman, "even though I am a
black republican." He said that
he had fought in France for
seven months in World War No.
1, with Truman. He recalled how
the president had called into con
ference able persons without re
gard to party, how he "inisists
upon doing an honest days
work," and how he had asked
the members of the original Tru
man committee of the senate to
stand by him as "this job of be
ing head of the government isn't
a one-man Job."
Trend Change Noted .
"I am confident that once
under Harry Truman this coun
try is heading back to the prim
cipW'of three-way government T
the legislative, judicial and -administrative,"
Sammons said.
Next. Sammons -discussed the
seventh war bond campaign, say
ing that the purchase or war
bonds is the No. 1 job on the
home front.
"We are not doing what we
should do in this regard if we
are to match what the boys are
doing on the battle fronts," Sam
mons said, observing that "there
is nothing glamorous about war."
He said that there are 4,100 white
crosses on the six-mile square
