TWO HERALD AND NEWS Wednesday, June 6. 1945 NEW WARFARE PLAN BOASTED BY JAPANESE (Continued From Page One) support the possibility of final collapse of the shattered and dismembered garrison known to have been reduced from BS.ouu to less than 20,000 soldiers. Isolated Island The American advance which reduced Okinawa to a "strategi cally isolated island, and air attacks such as yesterday's 450 plane Superfort raid on Kobe were interpreted by the Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri Hochi as "unquestionably significant of direct invasion attempt against the Japanese mainland" in the near future. As Yomiuri warned that "the moment of a battle of decision on our own soil is rapidly ap proaching," the newspaper Mai nichi published a poem calling on Japanese children to "follow in the wake of the children of Aka-Jima" who, it reported, charged American tanks on Oki nawa with hand grenades.

It de scribed them as bomb-proof and they probably are. Eight American Superforts were lost in the successful fire raid on Kobe, at least one of them to a piloted "baka" rocket bomb: Parachuting American airmen were strafed by Japanese pilots. Tokyo reported southern Ja pan was raided again today. American planes sank seven Japanese ships and damaged five in their daily patrols along the shores of Japan and Korea. Troop-laden barges were caught by others in the Hong Kong Canton area, where Chinese re ported Japanese were steadily shortening their lines. Private Chinese advices said the Nippon ese were also preparing to aban don the important river port of Wuchow, 120 miles oi Innlon I (Continued From Page One) last October, were being trans ferred to a new assmnment. Airplanes and surface craft have undertaken a widespread search, for the missing plane alone the French ivory coast between British West Africa and Liberia.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued from Pago One) Vienna several days ago for pre liminary discussions" and it may be "some time before an allied Austrian control commission can be set up." A Russian finger in the Austrian pie is suspected. Moscow newspapers print maps indicating that the Rus sian occupation zone in Germany is to DC larger man we nan thought, and the captions assert that some of this territory is now held by American and Brit ish troops. There's a disagree ment as to American oil holdings in Russian-held Romania. And so on. We haven't space today to mention all the suspi- cions of Russia that arc afloat. TN our efforts to see into the future, wtt must npnitt fnll back on history as a guide to our thinking. The picture get is none too reassuring. France went through a revolu tion almost identical with the Russian upheaval. NAPOLEON APPEARED. Under Napoleon (dazzled possibly by his military genius) the people of France, just out from under the thumbs of the cruel, reactionary Bour bon kings, still ragged and bank rupt, went on ar. ORGY of con quest. The feet of their soldiers trod the soil of every country in Europe. The blood of their sons watered all the neighboring ground. Why? What was It that drove them on? SIDES AIDED ALLIES IN WAR, REPORTS DANE OUR wn ancestors RE- v BELLED aeainst England and after eight years ot fighting we won our independence. Almost without pausing, we began a career of expansion that carried us first to the Mississippi, then on to the Rockies and in TIME to the Pacific. Within few years after Cornwallis' sur render, our ships were on every sea. Why? What drove US on? . A RE peoples newly emancl- patcd from that which is bad and wicked and REPRESSIVE suddenly inspired to push out and expand their horizons indefinitely? The French and American revolutions seem to answer: YES." Tf7E must remember that. Rus- " sia is new and emancipated. So recent is serfdom in Russia that even the FATHERS of the present Russian generation may nave Been serts. it is lairry cer tain their grandfathers were. AGAIN we must appeal to his-Inrv Is this resurgence of emanci pated peoples bad or good for the world? This time the answer we get is a little clearer. The career of the resurgent French under Napoleon left little to be admired. At its end. Europe was a mess. - France was wreck. Nobody was better off. Many were worse off. BUT The career of the young Amer ican republic was one of the most admirable things since the world began. Because of the American republic, the world and everybody in it are better off. SO maybe this is the answer: Perhaps it DEPENDS ON LEADERSHIP. Napoleon's leadership was bad: history leaves no doubt as to tnat. tne leadership oi the founders of the American re public was GOOD. "I HAT brings us back to Stalin whn i thf iinmiftetinnpri leader of Russia. Is he bad or good? Time alone can tell. ME BOX OFFICE OPENS 6:45 ENDS l3W PASSAGE to MARSEILLE!

Knew Truth "But the allies and Sweden," Husfeldt said, "knew they were going straight to Denmark as fast as they could be turned out." Tills disclosure wrote a new page in behind-the-sceiu's war on tho continent. As Husfeldt told it, it made clear that Swed en, while proclaiming neutrali ty to both tne allies and tier many, was actually helping the United Nations to fight the nazis. Allied Control Council Meet Ends Abruptly (Continued From Page One) iiie back to London from the Berlin meetinK yesterday "for important consultations on the future of Germany." One correspondent described the meeting as having "broken the ice," but said It left un solved the major occupation problems confronting the allies in Germany. Cut Short It had been expected that the council would get down to busi ness at once after the signing of tne declaration. The meeting was cut short, however, when the American. British and French representatives learned that Marshal Gregory K. Zlm kov, the soviet representative, had no instructions from his government to carry on further discussions until the withdrawal of American and British troops from the zone to be occupied by Russian forces was complet ed. After signing the declara tion Gen. Eisenhower left Ber lin to return to his headquarters at Frankfurt on the Main. Berlin was expected to be selected eventually as the head quarters site for the allied coun cil. Although the rcich capital received heavy war damage, so did the other large cities of cen tral Germany. Bodies Found The bodies of Nazi Propagan da Minister Paul Joseph Goeb- bels and his wife and children were reported discovered and identified by the Russians. Goebbels apparently had admin istered poison to the members of his family and then commit ted suicide. At Brcmcrhaven the 49,700- ton German liner Europa, once the holder of the Atlantic blue ribbon for speed, was being overhauled for use by the Unit ed States. It was expected to be ready for service under the Stars and Stripes within three months. The Germans in 1940 had planned to use the Europa to transport an invasion army to Britain, .
