The Japanese were said lu be
maintaining law and order but
internees were advised to stay
put because of the feeling of
the Japanese troops.
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."

Distribution
Class to Start
Classes In "distributive edu
catino" will be included in the
program of the Salem public
schools beginning this fall and
all plans have been completed
for the project, Superintendent
Frank B. 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.

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.

ended any possible speculation
as to his authority to bind th
nation to his promises. In ef

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.

time; 7:30 p.m. Monday. East

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.
