THIS practical realization has crept into the discussions at San Francisco and into the de cisions that have been made. It is reflected in the charter that has been written.

A CAPTURED Jap. who had " been Ushijima's cook tells the creepy story. He prepared a ceremonial din ner, with food and wine. The two generals appeared in full field uniform, their medals pin ned to tnetr Diouses. tneir Doots hiehlv polished, their aides and the members o' their staff fol lowing them. They knelt with bowed heads on a white sheet, symbolic of death facing the Pacific ocean, because the nar rowness of the ledee whereon they knelt orevented them from facing to the north toward the imrjeriai oalace. Let's tell the rest of it in the words of Al Dopking, AP cor respondent on Okinawa: "An aide held two knives, each wraDped in white Hoth, Art adjutant with drawn saber stood on Ushijima' right. Both gen eral. bared their abdome". As Ushijima plunged a knife into his stomach the adjutant swung his saber downwards, severing the general's spinal column. He tumbled forward dead. Cho went through an identical cere mony." THINGS like that are whv we mustn't LOSE OURSELVES in the rosy clouds of planning fo- a brighter future.
