American Superforta blasted Japan today for the third time
this week with a 2200-ton fire bomb raid. More than 350 B-29t
hit three cities In the early morning Friday, Tokyo time (about
noon, U. 8. eastern war time).
Cities attacked were Omuta, chemical production center on
Kyushu island; Matsuyama, port on the west coast of Shikoku

OPA ANNOUNCES
RED POINT GUTS
FOR. BEEF, ULi
WASHINGTON, July 20 (Pi
Ui'A, reporting "dcllnllo Im
provement" In incut supply and
distribution, today announced re
ductions In red point values for
almost all cuts of beef, lamb and
venl beginning Sunday.
The ngency estimated that for
tho August rationing period
about 0.5 per cent more meat
will bo availablo for snlo over
retail counters than in July
Compared with June, when ci
vllian supplies were at their
lowest level, the Increase will be
about 11 per cent.
With ono exception, tho re
ductions amount to ono to two
points a pound. The reduction
for boneless rump roasts is three
points,, ;, Most steaks nro .cut two
points.
Present point values of all
cuts of pork, canned fish, fats
ana oils, una dairy products win
romaln unchanged, creamery
butter continues at 16 points, the
lower value was unsigned July
15.
Total meat supplies for the
August rationing period were
estimated at 221.110.000 pounds,
compared with 212,100,000
pounds for the present period.
The cslimalo for beef is up
8,000,000 pounds, veal 2,280,000
pounds, lamb and mutton about
1,700,000. Tho pork supply,
however, will bo down about
3,279,000 pounds.
Prico Administrator Chester
Bowles said the Improvement In
civilian supplies was due largely
to lower military purchases.
Calling tho reductions In point
values "good news," Bowles said
he was awuro of the difficulty
housewives have had in budget
ing red points.
"In August," he commented,
"the lower point values for beef,
lamb and venl. together with the
recent reduction of creamery but
ter to 10 points a pouna, win
case the strain on red point bud
gets." Army Used

Japan's desire to quit is re

Truman, Chiang and
Churchill
Unite
POTSDAM, July 26 tfP)
President Truman- President
Chiang Kai-shek and retiring
Prime Minister Churchill to-
night called upon Japan to sur
render unconditionally, declar
ing: "The alternative Is prompt
and utter destruction.
The joint proclamation! de
clared there would De no devi
ation from the demand from un
conditional surrender and we
shall not accept delay."
Terms Listed
Japan will be divested of the
leaders who misled that people
and will be stripped down to
her four main islands and sucn
minor island as we determine,"
it said.
Japan, the leaders announced,
must remove all obstacles to the
revival of democratic tendencies
in the country, but will be per
mitted to retain non-armament
industries.
'We do not intend that the
Japanese shall be enslaved as a
race or destroyed as a nation,"
the proclamation said, but stern
justice shal be meted out to war
criminals."
Potsdam dispatches said the
proclamation was drawn up by
Truman and Churchill, who sub
mitted it ..to Chiang." China's
leader-promptly -concurred in
the statement.
iTruman's secretary, Charles
Ross, said the warning would
be broadcast to the Japanese
people in every way possible.
Speaking on a roadside near
Weinheim, Truman said he was
"glad to get the chance to look
at good American soldiers." One
of his regrets, he added, was that
in this war he was not allowed
to wear a uniform, "although 1
tried hard enough."
Instead, he said, he found
himself responsible for the wel
fare of all American soldiers
"and I hope I can fulfill that
responsibility."
President Trumaa arrived
here today to inspect American
troops and have lunch with Gen.
Eisenhower, after a 268-mile, 90
minute flight from Potsdam.
The president took off from
the Gatow airport, and flew at
6000 feet all the way.
Mr. Truman arrived at the
Eschborne army airport shortly
after 9:30 a. m., a few minutes
behind Secretary Byrnes, who
came on another plane.

The president began a round
of inspections with a review of
an honor guard made up from

Labor Party
Landslides
British Vote
1
By The Associated Press ;
LONDON, July 26 Winston Churchill resigned tonight as
prime minister in the wake of a voting tabulation which showed
the strongly socialistic labor party had won 2 to 1 landslide
over Churchill's conservatives in the July 5 election.
, Clement R, Attlee, who spearheaded the labor party triumph
In the first general election Britain had had in 10 years, was due
to succeed Churchill.
The count showed the laborites had won 381 seata in the
640-seat house of commons, to the conservatives' 193, as the war
time leader presented his resignation at Buckingham palace.
King George VI immediately accepted the resignation of the
70-year-old statesman.
Churchill went to Buckingham palace at 7 p. m. "
Churchill gave hia last V-sign as premier when he drove
through the palace gate, sitting alone in the back seat of his
automobile. Hia grave face was broken by a brief smile for a
little crowd which grea-ted him
aa the sentries saluted.
Churchill had been prime min
ister since May 10, 1940.
Returns available at 6:30 p.
m. (10:30 a. m. Pacific war time)
gave 208 house of common seats
for parties supporting Churchill
and 408 seats for the opposition.
. Attlee faces twin tasks of lead
ing Britain's part of the war on
Japan and reconstructing this
wartorn nation under a program
that calls for nationalization of
much of its industry. '
Britons had the first chance
in 10 years to vote in a general
election July 5 and they veered
strongly to the left, defeating
27 members of Churchill's "care
taker" government but re-electing
Churchill himself and For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden to
their own constituencies. While
w .UI lr h fnrpmn'
minister, few changes in BnW'
Bin's foreign policy are expeci -
ed. Attlee has been attending
the Potsdam conference and
probably will return there to
morrow. .
Significant Victory .
The British Press association
called labor's victory "the most
astonishing and significant of
the century." There were many
efforts to explain the upset, one
of the most prominent being
that Britons were tired of war
time restrictions and eager for
a change.
Attlee served until June 15
as deputy prune - minister in
Chutchil's ; -wartime - roalitlon
government He said the victory
"will enable us to implement
the policy of the socialist party.'
The labor party last formed
the government in 1929 under
the late Ramsay MacDonald,
and held power until 1931 when
it was forced to go to the people
on the gold standard issue;
Following that election it was
forced to lean heavily on the
liberal party section of the gov
ernment coalition and in 1935,
Britain's last general election un
til July 5, Stanley Baldwin led
the conservatives into power.
Labor Pledges
In one of the most acrimon
ious campaigns in Britain's his
tory, the labor party pledged it
self in this election to support
a program 0 national social
ization of heavy industry, trans
portation, mines and the Bank of
England.
The first thing Attlee and his
party probably will attempt to
do when they take over the gov
ernment will be nationalization
of these enterprises, including
the iron and steel industry and
all forms of inland transport.
"When monopoly gets into
the hands of a few men,
then the only safe monopoly is
a monopoly of the community,"
Attlee has declared.
India Pledge
He has promised political lib
erty for India "if they can
achieve it for themselves" and
ho has declared for the closest
possible relations with the Uni
ted States and Russia.
There has been little outward
difference of opinion between
the labor and conservative par
ties on foreign policy, as shown
by Attlee's willingness to ac
company Churchill to Potsdam.
The laborites did challenge Brit
ain's position in Greece.
Eden's Successor
The question of. who will be
chosen Eden's successor as for
eign secretary remained unde
termined, but speculation has
centered around three names in

Members of the senate foreign

"I am very much afraid they
