BEFORE ATOMICS Nip Officers Say U. S. Air Power Had Reduced Coun try's Arms to Impotency. Tokyo, Oct. 19 (U.R) The consensus of opinion among high ranking Japanese army and navy airmen is that the United States "primarily through air power" so reduced Japan's capacity to make war that "they were ready to sue for peace before the atomic bomb was dropped." This was announced today by Lt. Gen. Barney M. Giles, com mander of the U. S. strategic air force, who quoted Nipponese strategists as also saying that: Suicide Planes Aim 1 Japan planned to use be tween 8,000 and 10,000 suicide planes against expected Allied landings on Kyushu with the ex pectation of sinking or damaging 1,000 ships per hour. 2 Superfort raids on small Japanese cities and use of fire bombs cut Japanese aircraft pro duction at least in half and halt ed work during air raid alarms. 3 Suicide planes were less ef fective against Superforts than against ships but use of defen sive air power is "unsound tac tics to win a war." 4 The Leyte campaign was the "major turning point of the war." Giles released a transcript of Interrogations of high ranking officers including Gen. Masakazu Kawabe, commanding general of the Japanese air general army. Air Loss Did It "It Is my opinion our loss In the air lost us the war," Kawabe said. "Your bombing of small Industries and cities and your use of fire bombs was very ef f e c t i v e , decreasing Japanese plane production 50 to 60 per cent by August. "We expected Kamikaze de fense would win the war but it Is unsound tactics to employ an Hollywood Producers Study Strike Situation uwg)..HiiniMiLi1 IWHIU'.-'H' ' ,'WWWWiWH'Wi Him wnjumini).iwniJtimii lip .

(2) To encourage the use of opium Considerable progress has al ready been made toward estab lishment of a national lottery. Certain congressmen, principal ly from larse cities, are openly PARS Firestone Home & Auto Corner Main Supplies i & Holly 1 committed tn that policy. The arguments for race track gambl ing apply with equal force to lotteries. The world opium problem has become senous. Britain and the Netherlands, wanting their lost opium-producing posses sions back, announced that they would abolish the opium trade i on their recovery. Britain has i reneged on this promise in re ; captured Bunna. When Ameri : can troops went into India Eng i land refused to close India's 6000 opium joints despite re peated requests by our Army officials. With the exception of China and Afghanistan, our al lies and former enemies con tinue to clutch their profitable opium trade. Japm banned opium In their home islands because of its bad effect on national vigor; popu larized opium as a weapon to weaken the resistance of the peoples of- the lands her troops over-ran. It is estimated there are now 32,000,000 addicts in those lands. Tht're is big money to be made in whiskey and there is bigger money to be made in opium. The undermining effect of both is well established. Pro paganda for the profit in it has made the use of whisky popular in these United States, the profit-takers callous to the effect upon the American people. The popular use of opium would insure greater gains and even greater degradation. After all, the arguments fav oring popular use of whiskey ore as sound for opium. The profit-takers have "put over" whiskey. Their next logical step is opium. ' Franklin Hickborn Santa Clara, Calif. FIRESTONE FIRESTONE FR1GIT0NE S".-Beam Ant.-Free,.

A. R. Statement To the editor: In your editor ial of Oct. 15 you stated that Constitution Hall was erected by public funds. This is an incor rect statement. Constitution Hall was built and entirely financed by the Na tional Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. It is own ed, controlled and managed by that society. It is not a city audi torium. It is not a district audi torium. It is a privately owned building, built primarily as a meeting place for the D.A.R., : congresses and other gatherings of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution. The Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution rec ognized the right of any citizen to request use of Constitution ! Hall, but lt also reserves its in ! dividual right to grant or deny a request for its use. ' Rules of management for Con stitution Hall were drawn up in accordance with the prevailing custom of the District of Colum ; bia regarding schools, auditori ums, theaters, hotels, restau rants, clubs, canteens, play grounds, etc. It is only at commercially op erated events where the D.A.R. have ever pressed any restric tions on the seating of negroes in , Constitution Hall. At conven tions, mass meetings, etc., negro delegates and participants in programs are given the same treatment as any white member of an audience. Only recently, at a religious mass meeting, a colored cleryman made a prayer from the stage of Constitutional Hall. While there exists no law, a CIGARETS CONQUERED ! !

I Booklet will be mailed immedi ately strictly confidential. regulation passed In pursuance of law, which would prohibit pri vate owners of halls or auditori ums from permitting their use by persons of a different race, the prevailing custom in Wash ington is for the races to use their respective churches and halls for their own activities, in dependently and separately. This is the result of a policy contained in the United States Court of Appeals, District of Col umbia, 1944-45 (Mays vs. Bur gess Vol. 79, D. C. Appeals, page 347.) I quote: 'As to the District of Colum bia, we must take judicial notice of the fact that separate schools are established for the white and colored races; separate churches are universal and are approved by both races; and that in the present local housing emergency, large amounts of public and, per haps, also, of private funds have been expended in the establish ment of homes for the separate use of white and colored persons. And these accepted practices are not intended to imply the infer iority of either race to the other. That the broad social problem, of which the question in the in stant case is but one aspect, is both serious and acute, no thoughtful person will deny, That its right solution in the gen eral public interest calls for the best in statesmanship and the highest in patriotism is equally true. But it is just as true that up to the present, no law or pub lic policy has been contrived or declared whereby to eradicate social or racial distinctions in the private affairs of individuals. And it should now be apparent that if ever the two races are to meet upon mutually satisfactory ground, it can not be through le gal coercion or through the in timidation of factions, or the violence of partisans, but must be the result of a mutual appre ciation of each other's problems, and a voluntary consent of individuals." Mrs. Bert B. Lowry, state regent of Oregon Society Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution.

There are many reasons for this, the most important ones being that the itom might be injurious to health if not used according to directions, or that the product must be freshly made to be of maximum value.
