CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER Volume Llll THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. DESCHUfES COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1945 NO. 151 4 Million U. S. Men Expected To Fight Japs 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 ber of commerce. Peoples said that he saw the white deer about 200 yards- from the Vandevert ranch house on the Little Des chutes river.
