The liberated American pri soners were receiving good care, the team reported, but one was in such serious condition from beri-berl that he was unable to travel by air. The report on the Peiping operation was sent to Lieut. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer by Lt. Gen. Takahashl, chief of staff of the north China garri son. A report from Shanghai said the team landed safely - there and was staying with the Swiss consul until further arrange ments could be made. The team contacted the internment camp leaders and made plans to visit it. However, the Japanese re quested the Americans not to enter Nanking and other areas of occupied China until the formal surrender. The Canton team, reported that after a two-hour discussion with MaJ. Gen. Tomita, chief of staff to Tanaka, it was de cided to leave. "The reception was cold at first, but ended on a coopera tive, friendly basts," the report said. "The troops were hostile since General Tomita has not received any official notice that the war is over except by the imperial edict heard on the ra dio he could not assure the safety of the team and requested that they return to friendly territory." Promises Cooperation He said that when he had of ficial word from Nanking he would cooperate in aiding the American prisoners. He report ed prisoners in his jurisdiction were getting the best possible care under existing conditions but said allied aid would be welcome. Tomita was quoted as calling the landing of the unarmed American plane on the Canton airdrome "brave but prema ture." He asked them to leave "before trouble starts."

Bennett announces. The course is similar in purpose to courses sponsored under the Smiht-Hughes act and is de signed to give young folk an opportunity to get a few funda mentals In clerking or similar lines of endeavor. It is out side the scope of the appren ticeship department which leads to a journeyman. The course In distributive ed ucation is expected to be par ticularly appropriate in view of legislation passed by the state early this year which changes the compulsory school attend ance law from eight ot 12 grades. Pupils taking advantage of the course will for the most part be those who have posi tions in stores, restaurants or similar Institutions and who will have sufficient time off from their employment to meet with their instructors for at least an hour a day. They will be taught personal care, hygiene, the prop er display of merchandise, sales manship and information neces sary in dealing with the public. In the meanwhile the teacher will check with the pupils' em ployers in an effort lo get the most out of the course. Ap proximately 40 pupils have sig nified their intention of taking part In the work. This will mean two classes daily.

Sher man, deputy chief of staff for Nimitz and Cincpoa plan offi cer, said that Japanese officials at the Manila conference with Gen.

The Japanese naval envoy at Manila, Sherman said, asserted that the nearly complete chok- Only 55 Combat Vessels Remain of Japan's Navy Guam, Aug. 21 IU.B Only 55 combat vessels, Including six German submarines, remain of Japan's once formidable fleet of 382 fighting ships, it was announced today by Adm. Chester W. Nimitz' heaquarters on the basis ing on ot tne island empires sea lanes had brought an acute shortage of food, transportation and gasoline. Here is what Nimitz head quarters said is loft of the Ja panese navy, once the third largest in the world: One crewless battleship the Nagato afloat but heavily dam aged at Yokosuka of an orig inal total of 12 capital ships.

Of 140 submarines only 22 remain, In cluding six German U-boats, ap parently turned over to the Ja panese before the end of the European war and possibly used as cargo carriers lo the Japan ese held bypassed Pacific Islands. The Japanese also revealed that they were unable to cop with mines laid by Superforti and the American navy because of a shortage of minesweeper!. Log Rustlers Busy on River It used to be cattle rustlers. Now, according to sawmill men anad logging operators, lt is log rustlers. Said to be operating In gangs, with hijackers playing an active part in the operations, the thieves are declared to have stolen no less than $30,000 worth of logs from the Willam ette river near Salem in the last six months. For years it has been con sidered legitimate to salvage timber from the river, if it was unbranded and unfit for con version into lumber. Nowadays logs are branded, like cattle and horses, and the brand is recognized proof of ownership. Scarcity of wood and the ex ceedingly high price of fuel wood in recent years has made it quite a lucrative business, but, if the charges of the saw mill men are true, some of the river men aren't confining the business to legitimate operation, which makes it still more lu crative if they don't get caught. "We are trying to break them up," said H. C. Lamb to day. Lamb is a scaler for sev eral companies and the Salem representative of Stebco, Inc., sawmill operators. Neighbors appealed ot the po lice at 2:40 Sunday morning to hush a crying baby in another neighbor's house. The officers found an 18-months old child un covered, wet and cold, and while the police were trying to do something about it the parents came home. They said they had left the child in the care of a relative, but she had gone to sleep in another room. The neighbors said the baby had been crying since 10 o'clock, After a summer recess the Chamber of Commerce Bulletin again made its appearance Mon day. The next issue will an nounce the date of resumption of the Monday noon luncheons. A week ago a .22-calibre Re mington rifle was stolen from Clarence Townsend, 960 Broad way.

Exact Units (Continued from Page 1) ended any possible speculation as to his authority to bind th nation to his promises. In ef fect It meant unconditional surrender. MacArthur's post-conference statement yesterdav made it plain that the negotiations de veloped no concessions beyond the original one of preservation of the throne. Red Cross to Assist The Japanese, In a second message on the subject to Mac Arthur, urgently sought discon tinuance of parachuting aid to prisoner of war and internee camps in the Japanese area by small American groups. The Japanese said they had accepted the offers of the Swiss government and of the Red Cross to represent the allied governments; that the special parties were "unnecessary" and it was Impossible to guarantee the safely of such groups. Return of both the white- paintea Japanese surrender planes was delayed by minor mishaps but Chief Emissary T. Gen. Takashlro Kawabe reach ed Tokyo at 8:30 a.m. (Japanese time; 7:30 p.m. Monday. East ern War Time) with the Instruc tions MacArthur's aides had handed him In two days of strenuous conferences at Manila. Tokyo meanwhile professed to the world that she was ex tremely fearful many of her military men "without any ex perience of actual defeat on the battle" would create disorders the moment MacArthur and his hosts landed in Japan. What Is Wrong When Prayer Fails? Thirty years ago, In Forbid den Tibet, behind the highest mountains In the world.- a young Englishman named Edwin J. Dingle found the answer to this question. A great mystic opened his eyes. A great change came over him. He realized the strange Power that Knowledge gives. That Power, he says, can transform the life of anyone. Questions, whatever they are, can be answered. The prob lems of health, death, poverty and wrong, can be solved. In his own case, he was brought back to splendid health. He acquired wealth, too, as well as world-wide professional rec ognition. Thirty years ago, he was sick as a man could be and live. Once his coffin was bought. Years of almost con tinuous tropical fevers, broken bones, near blindness, privation and danger had made a human wreck of him, physically and mentally. He was about to be sent back to England to die, when a strange message came "They are waiting for you in Tibet." He wants to tell the whole world what he learned there, under the guidance of the great est mystic he ever encountered during his twenty-one years In the Far East. He wants every one to experience the greater health and the Power, which there came to him. Within ten years, he was able to retire to this country with a fortune. He had been honored by fellowships in the World's leading geographical societies, for his work as a geographer. And today, 30 years later, he is still so athletic, capable of so much work, so young in ap pearance, it is hard to believe he has lived so long. As a first step in their prog ress toward the Power that Knowledge gives, Mr. Dingle wants to send to readers of this paper a 9000-word treatise. He says the time has come for it to be released to the Western World, and offers to send it, free of cost or obligation, to sincere readers of this notice.
