F DOCK WITH 7,669 New York, Aug. 27 (U.R) Four transports dock today with 7,669 troops, most of them di verted from Pacific destinations. Gen. William F. Hase arrives with 3,047 men. Included aboard were the 74th MP Co.; 238th General hospital; 261st Signal Heavy Construction Co.; 290th, 291st MP Cos.; 460th and 461st Transportation Corps Amphibi ous Truck Cos.; 534th, 537th Sig nal Heavy Construction Cos.; 819th TC Amphibious Truck Cos.; 1266th Engineer Combat Battalion; 3513th QM Truck Co., 4 and 4415th QM Service Co. The Exchange carried 1,951 troops, including the 768th TC Base Depot Co.; 941st MP Co.; 64th Field Hospital; 135th Glory be! Here come the Busses! If It looks like a scene from "This is the Army". .. If you see uniforms everywhere ... If the place is jampacked with sol diers, sailors, marines, flyers and their womenfolk . . . Then, fellow citizens, you are in a bus terminal. As wo all know, travel of any kind is not too simple these days. But have you ever stopped to think where the nation would be without busses? It would be in a super-colossal pickle that's what. As thick as boyhood freckles upon the face of the country I have mushroomed cantonments . . . airfields . . . war plants. Not always have these centers of ac tivity been within walking dis tance. But busses get the people back and forth. They get them forth and back. By bus, a uni formed lad may stretch his fur lough from Pcnsacola to Reno ... or from Santa Ana to Bangor. Back and forth ... up and down ... the bus lines make a gridwork of the map. They hove their troubles, of course. They have their gtief about manpower . . . repairs . . . replacements. But like the marines in a tight spot it's always a case of here come the busses. They always arrive! And usually they arrive on time! We'd like to remind you . that, back in 1917, father was lucky if he got from camp to the nearest town by bus. All this development has come about since nis fighting days. Without it, we might have lack ed the ability to fight a war so much bigger than the last. So we'd like to salute an achievement that is super-doop-er. But the best testimonial to the bus lines is a glance inside a terminal. Try it some day. NEW EASY - PASTE SHOE POLISH . conamon.

ISLES 10 QUIT Cam, Aug. 27 (U.R) Japan's still formidable "Pearl Harbor" bastion of Truk and most other by-passed enemy islands in the Pacific are ready to surrender without a fight. The by-passed garrisons probably total 240,000 troops. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz announced today that Rota, Yap, the Palaus and Jaluit were among the Japanese islands for whose surrender negotiations al ready had begun or would soon. Japanese forces on Wake, Po nape, Jusaie and Nauru have not yet showed a surrender signal, but Nimitz said they were not firing on low-flying navy recon naissance planesnor taking cov er when the planes appeared. Two navy patrol bombers re ported that the Japanese had painted white crosses signifying their willingness to surrender Truk atoll on the runways at Moen island yesterday only 24 hours after planes from Guam had dropped surrender instruc tions. In the early days of the Pacific war, Truk was considered an al most impassable barrier on the trans-Pacific road to Tokyo. The atoll subsequently was neutraliz ed by American carrier and land based planes, however, and no attempt ever was made to In vade it. Negotiations for the surrender of Rota, only 50 miles north of Guam and largest of the Mari anas islands still in Japanese hands, began today aboard an American warship off that . is land. San Francisco, Aug. 27 0J.R) An NBC broadcast from Ma nila said today that Gen.

If true, this would mean that MacArthur would arrive in Ja pan sometime Wednesday rather than Thursday as scheduled. OF ARMY ESCAPE Missoula, Mont., Aug. 27 CU.P.)

Uli m KtaSl-v TO OF DEFEAT San Francisco, Aug. 27 (U.R) Shuzo Toyama, son of the late Mitsuru Toyama, chief of the Ejingoistic Black Dragon so ciety, exhorted the Japanese peo ple today to reconstruct a new Japan and "complete what has been so completely lacking in the past." In a Tokyo radio broadcast re corded by United Press, San Francisco, Toyama said that Ja pan, except for a "a small num ber of truly sincere and earnest men," was made up of those who were "destined for defeat." "The defeat eloquently be speaks how incomplete, super ficial and crude modern Japan has been. It is a strange wonder how she managed to fight for this length of time. It was fully attributable to the august virtue of his gracious imperial majesty, the emperor. "Whatever plight we may face in the future, we should not be dishonest. Now, we must bring peace into the bitterness of de feat for that is the only alter native to revive once again that quiet and precise learning of ourselves. 'Inasmuch as we could not at tain victory, let us take our de feat in the best of grace and make a new start in order to complete what has been so com pletely lacking in the past." Toyama's father frequently was called the "unofficial em peror of Japan." A fanatical pa triot, his political gunmen assas sinated statesmen ..ho hindered Japanese aggression. Under his leadership, the Black Dragon so ciety used terror and murder to spur Japanese conquest by war. Livestock Port'and, Ore..

"We need a united democratic China through hard-working people and a dignified govern ment," the newspaper said.
