Focal Point of Jap Surrender Offer Japan's Emperor
Hirohito, shown here in full regalia astride his white horse, is the
key figure involved in the reported Domei broadcast of the
Japanese peace offer accepting the Potsdam conference terms
provided the emperor could retain his prerogatives.
Hirohito May Abdicate
In Favor of His Son
San Francisco, Aug. 13 (U.R) Japanese broadcasts raised the
possibility today that Emperor Hirohito may be planning to ab
dicate in favor of his son, 11-year-old Crown Prince Akihito, with
the emperor's brother, Prince Nobuhito Takamatsu, as regent after
Japan surrenders. The broadcasts made no mention of Hirohito's
possible abdication, but the fact
that they singled out Akihito
and Takamatsu for special
praise at a time when Japan's
surrender was under considera
tion appeared sinificant.
Allied circles for some time
have been speculating that
Grain Circles
Await Reply
Chicago, Aug. 13 (U.RWhile
grain circles awaited Japan's
reply futures declined in nerv
ous dealings on the board of
trade today. Trading was ac
tive but confined mostly to
commercial interests. Nearby
wheat contracts resisted bearish
ness on government support
buying.
Active short-covering on the
close prompted substantial gains
in wheat, deferred oats con
tracts and December rye. Com
modity credit corp., buying of
cash wheat at Kansas City fol
lowing heavy business last week
contributed to the rally.
Wheat finished the day up sfc
to 1V4 cents a bushel; corn off
Vt to ?i; oats off Vt to up
rye up to off Vtc and barley
off 1 to 1 !4 cents.
Trade opinion has not crystal
ized on what effect peace will
have on grains. With the gov
ernment commitment to support
facilities to expedite the abnor
mal export needs, the combina
tion of a peacetime market and
bumper crops might be offset
to a healthy decree, analysts be
lieved. The commodity credit corp.,
today advised all distributors of
corn that all CCC corn received
may be sold only to wet corn
processors having on hand or
on the way less than a 20-dny
supply of corn. Local buyr
were active In the corn pi'
Hirohito might feel it necessary
to give up the throne because
of the loss of face inherent in
any surrender.
Tokyo said the newspaper
Mainichi reported In "detail"
on the virtues of Takamatsu,
40 years old and third son of
the late Emperor Taisho, as di
rector of the war victim relief
society.
Takamatsu also is a member
of the Japanese privy council
and the navy general staff and
honorary president of the Im
perial Inventions' society and
of the Japan Fine Arts' associa
tion. Graduated from navy college
in 1924, he served as squadron
commander of several battle
ships. However, there is no re
sord he saw any combat fight
ing. He visited England in 1930,
partly to return the courtesies
shown by the late King George
V in sending a mission to Japan
to present the Order of the Gar
ter to the emperor.
Akihito was eulogized in a
similar Japanese broadcast last
Saturday.

Fewer Soldiers
At Week End
"The present set-up seems to
take care of sleeping accomo
dations for Adair soldiers spend
ing the week-end in Salem, and
the possibility of setting up cots
in the Armory probably won't
develop unless more troops are
shipped in," Tom Windishar, re
cently appointed head of soldier
dormitory personnel and pur
chasing said today.
Last Saturday night the
YMCA lobby held a "very few
late-comers who could have
been accomodated if they had
been on time," according to of
ficials there, and some cots in
St. Joseph's hall were not used.
The situation was slightly dif
ferent this week-end since men
did not arrive in Salem until
about 11 p.m. after late release
from camp because of the pend
ing Jap ultimatum.
Possibility that a change in
Camp Adair personnel or num
ber may send more soldiers into
Salem on Wednesday 'nights
keeps those in charge of acco
modations here on the alert for
further developments, Windi
shar said.

soil conservation service, report
ed more than 10,000,000 acres
in Oregon need rotation graz

Oregon's conservation needs
were nearly double . those of
Washington in terms of man
power. The service estimated
that Oregon needed 10,161 man

while Washington needs only
6.341.
In both states the greatest

reported imperilled tes the Rus
sians hammered across a moun
tainous caravan route from Wu
chumintsin in Inner Mongolia,
150 miles to the north.
Should the Russians capture
Linsi and drive on to the Yellow
sea coast 240 miles farther
southeast, the enemy would be
isolated in China. The town is
197 miles from the China front
ier and only 70 north of the
northernmost rail line linking
central China with Mukden in
Manchuria.
20-Mile Advance
Marshal Kirill A. Merets
kov's first far eastern .army
smashed ahead 22 miles in Man
churia after capturing Hun
chun, 37 miles north of Yuki,
the Soviet war bulletin said.
Tumen, junction city 27 miles
to the west, controlling rail
routes from central Manchuria
to Seishin, was endangered as
the Russians surged ahead on a
230-mile front north and north-

At the same time Marshal
Rodion Y. Malinovsky's trans
Baikal army on the western
side of the vast Russian Man
churian front broke across the
great Khingen mountan range
and emerged on the eastern
slopes at a number- of unidenti
fied places. The Japanese com
munique indicated this drive
was in the area west of Tu
chuan (Lichuan), 240 miles
west of Harbin, and that the
Russians had made advances of
50 to 106 miles in a day in
the area.

Portland, Ore., Aug. 13 (U.B
Mrs. Louise B. Flournoy, 41,
was in jail today charged with
the second-degree murder of her
former husband.
Police said Mrs. Flournoy ad
mitted shooting Robert W.
Flournoy, 45, with a .22 caliber
pistol following a quarrel in her
apartment Sunday night. She
told police detectives that she
had obtained a divorce two
years ago at Fort Worth, Texas.
Flournoy occasionally visited
his former wife and their two
daughters, she said.
Sunday night they quarreled
and he struck her, Mrs. Flour
noy charged. She threatened to
shoot him if he continued to
molest her and followed the
warning by taking her single-
shot target pistol from a dresser
drawer and loading it.
When Flournoy approached
her again, police said she fired
the pistol. Flournoy died al
most immediately. After the
shooting Mrs. Flournoy called a
friend who notified police. She
was at her apartment when the
officers arrived.

; 1 TO 3 Points
' New York, Aug. 13 IPi The
stock market slipped 1 to 3
I points today as Japan left un
answered the question as to
whether she should quit or con-
i tinue the war.
Dealings remained at a slow
' pace near the final hour after
fairly active proceedings at the
! opening. A few leaders whit-
l tied extreme losses for the ses
sion but buying orders were al
most negligible.
Most investors adopted a cau
tious outlook, preferring to
await official word on the Nip
ponese surrender overtures be
fore attempting to forecast the
trend of stock prices. Volume
was about 1,000,000 shares.
Rails and steels registered
the biggest losses and included
Santa Fe, Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Great Northern,
U.S. Steel, Bethlehem and Re
public Steel.
Among others in the general
retreat were Chrysler, Sears
Roebuck, Caterpillar Tractor,
Boeing, Douglas Aircraft, East
ern Air Lines, Consolidated Ed
ison, Kennecott, Du Pont, Union
Carbide. Allied Chemical, Stan
dard Oil (N.J.) and Texas Co.,V
General Electric, Westinghouse
and U.S. Rubber were resistant.
Carriers led a decline of 1 to3
3 points in bonds.
Eighth War Loan
Not Being Cancelled
Portland, Aug. 13 IIP) The
eighth war loan drive, tenta
tively set for mid-November
will be staged regardless of ;
when the war ends, E. C. Sam
mons, state war finance commit
tee chairman, said today.
The campaign, which prob
ably will be called a "Victory
Loan," might be the last of the
bond drives, he reported. He
will attend a meeting in Wash
ington September 5-6 to make
plans.
Truman
(Continued .from Page 1)
There is, Mr. Truman knows,
a vast market for civilian goods,
and the savings in war bonds
and bank accounts offers the
means for their purchase as fast
as they become available.
But plants must be cleared
of machinery not adapted to the
manufacture of civilian goods
and other machinery must re
place it. This is only one of the
problems of reconversion that
will require time. Workers then
must be channeled back into
the reconverted plants, the pre
sident believes, at wages suf
ficiently high to sustain mass
purchasing power.
The tax structure must be re
examined not only with a view
toward enabling industry to
finance full speed reconversion
but in the light of public debt
of astronomical dimensions. The
public's stake in war bonds, the
general desire for a strong army
and navy, the commitments to
service men and women under
the "G. I. bill of rights" all will
require heavy expenditures that
must be financed by taxes if
the debt is not to continue to
