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.

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. Douglas
MacArthur's headquarters winds
up its affairs in the Philippines
tonight and will leave for Japan
by way of Okinawa.
The broadcast said the su
preme commander, members of
his staff and more than 100 news
men will fly to Okinawa. It said
MacArthur expects to be in Ja
pan "in 48 hours."
If true, this would mean that
MacArthur would arrive in Ja
pan sometime Wednesday rather
than Thursday as scheduled.

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.

FIRE SITUATION
Portland, Ore., Aug. 27 (U.R)
Rain and high humidity to
day eased the forest fire situa
tion in the Pacific northwest as
state foresters reported all major
fires under control due to con
tinuous week-end rains.
On the Oregon coast, the Tilla
mook burn was quiet due to
overcast skies and slight rain
falls, enabling crews to work
along the edges of the blaze and
halt its spread. About 800 men
were still working on the fire
lines, but it was reported that
most of the 175,000 acre burn
was trailed except for spots near
the northernmost fork of the
Trask river, near Clear Creek,
and near Foss.
In Linn county, a blaze start
ed by logging operations Friday,
was smoldering under two inches
of rain and was reported two
thirds trailed.
Forestry officials In Washing
ton state said every blaze in that
state was under control. The
most troublesome fire had been
in the Ridcrwood area of Cow
litz county where flames spread
over some 3,000 acres of forested
land.

PACT WITH REDS
Chungking. Aug. 27 (U.R)
Threat of civil war in China ap
parently eased today as the Chin
ese communist newspaper N,ew
China Daily expressed full sup
port of the Sino-Russian treaty.
"We need a united democratic
China through hard-working
people and a dignified govern
ment," the newspaper said.
Release of the text of the
Chinese-Russian treaty last night
revealed that Russia has pledg
ed her entire material and moral
support to the Chungking gov
ernment, thus depriving the
hostile communist regime at
Yenan of what might have been
its strongest foreign ally.
Only a few hours before the
text was announced and per
haps because of it communist
leader Mao Tze Tung finally
agreed to go to Chungking in
the "immediate future." Twice
before he had refused General
issimo Chiang Kai-Shek's invita
tions.
American Ambassador Patrick
J. Hurley has left for Yenan to
accompany Mao back to Chung
king.
Before he left, Hurley said
1 am going to Yenan with the
consent and full approval of the
Generalissimo and on the invita
tion of Mao Tze Tung. I shall
accompany Mao Tze Tung and
his party to Chungking where
they will enter direct negotia
tions with the Generalissimo and
the national government.
