At Washington, D. C, it was announced that controls have been relaxed and will be re moved entirely at the end of the present quarter. This will make lumber available within a few months for a substantial resumption of home construction. General construction order L-41 is expected to go off at the end of September or sooner. Low Stockpiles At Seattle, West Coast Lumber association declared the industry has the lowest stockpiles in years. Whether labor shortage prob lems will be solved soon will depend upon how rapidly men are released from the armed services. Needs for logging truck tires and replacement parts will probably be alleviated soon. While a strike impasse kept all but one of Klamath's major mills idle, developments at Washington, D. C, again indi cated today that the government (Continued on Page Two) The trial of Earl HeuveV for mer Klamath Falls police chief, has been postponed until mid October, the district attorney's office said this morning.- Heuvel was released from the county jail yesterday upon the posting of $21,000 cash bail and was called for by a young girl in a cream colored car shortly after noon. Heuvel indicated that he was going to the country and was also planning on seeing his wife, who is an army nurse and nas been stationed overseas. Her whereabouts was not known. Judge Arlie G. Walker, Yam hill county, has indicated that he has a term of court set for Dallas, Ore., the first of Septem ber and that it is unlikely that he will be available on Septem ber 17 to try the first of the four moral cases against the formTT cnief of police. This trial date was set by Judge Charles . Combs, Lake county, who was later replaced by Walker after an affidavit of prejudice had been filed against Combs by Defense Attorney Herbert Welch. Combs presided at the arraignment of Heuvel some weeks ago in which Heu vel pleaded not guilty to all four charges. . Rex Kimmell, assistant attor ney general, will assist District Attorney Clarence Humble in the prosecution and Walker sug gested that in view of the discus sion he had held with Kimmell the trial would probably be held about the middle of October. It is understood that this date is agreeable with Welch. Humble stated that all wit nesses have been notified of the postponement of the trial. A3ED CONTROL HEIIVEL TRIAL OFF r UNTIL MID-OCTOBEfi GOP Plans Issues To Win Congress Control In '46 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (IP) Republicans today picked the first four issues on which they hope to win control of congress next year topped by a conten tion that the administration has "fumbled" reconversion. The other three laid down by Chairman Herbert Brownell, Jr., of the republican national com mittee after a cross country swing are: 1 The people arc "skeptical about promises mado by the Tru man administration to bring about economy in the federal government." 2 The public is convinced that It is lime to "audit" the new denl and It is "turning to'the republican party as the logical, and indeed the only available, agency to conduct that audit." 3 Some new deal adherents aro trying to "capitalize for partisan purposes the patriotism Fleet To Back Up Occupation In Full Force MANILA, Thursday, Aug. 23 (AP) General MacArthur announced today that a double barrelled landing In Japan next Tuesday will send troops ashore near Tokyo backed by the full power of the American fleet in Tokyo bay while h lands with airborne troops at the nearby Atsugi airdrome. Japs Get Surrender Instructions The supreme commander of allied occupation forces made this disclosure in announcing surrender instructions to Japan. Paratroops will descend at Atsugi, about 10 miles from Tokyo, while naval and marine forces simultaneously go ' oshore near Yokosuka, site of one of Japan's three largest naval bases. Yokosuka is on Sagami bay, near the mouth of I okyo bay. ' Signing of the surrender in strument, the instructions said, "will be in the Tokyo area on August 31." Speculation There has been speculation that this historic act would take place on soma American war ship, perhaps in Tokyo bay, but today's instructions did not sup port this. The Japanese government and the army general headquarters were ordered to put MacAr thur's directives into effect at 6 p. m., Friday, (2. a. m, Friday, PWT). MacArthur's directive made no mention of plans for an allied airborne landing on Atsugi air field Sunday, as was stated in Tokyo radio's broadcast of the occupation schedule yesterday. However, MacArthur's an nouncement did confirm the Tokyo radio statement that al lied air operations would begin over Japan Saturday. The di rective said the aircraft would conduct day and night "surveil lance flights over Japan and Japanese controlled areas." . All Nipponese military, naval and civil aircraft must remain out of the air until the allies no tify the Japanese of their dispo sition. He said the surrender-document informs them that repre sentatives of Australia, Canada, France, The Netherlands and New Zealand will join the Big t our in signing. i Text of Massage The text of . General MacAr thur's message to the Japanese imperial general headquarters supplementing , the . document said: ' f: ' -.-, . - "Representatives of Australia, Canada, : France, , The. Nether lands and New Zealand will sign the surrender instrument .The surrender instrument, a copy whereof was furnished your rep resentatives, . will be amended accordingly." First Indication ; The message: was the first in dication that Jasanese emissar ies to the Manila pre-occupation conferences had carried back to Japan the surrender document.

The broadcast, recorded in New York by the Associated Press, said the bomb which fell on Hiroshima on August 6 killed or injured 160,000 persons and left 200,000 homeless. The bomb which hit Nagasaki on August 9 left 120,000 casualties, the radio report said. - The broadcast said "further more many persons are dying of the millions of men and women now returning from duty in the armed services." Wallgren Quoted Brownell asserted that Dem ocratic Gov. Mon C. Wallgren of Washington, a close friend of President Truman has served notice on republican veterans that they need not apply for state jobs. The chairman said Governor Wallgren had been quoted In press dispatches as stating that the only veterans who will not be hired by his state "are those who have actively identified themselves with tho republican party." Policy Revealed This policy, Brownell added, came to light after Milton Mor sing, veteran of three years serv ice in Alaska, applied for a job in the state highway department.

Since the raid on Hiroshima took place during working hours In tha morning and the atomic Domo hit the central part of the city, casualties were tremendous, with more than 60,000 killed accord; ing to latest figures available. Death Toll Mounts "The number of dead is mount ing, as many of those who re ceived burns cannot survive their wounds because of the un canny effects the atomic bomb produces on the human body r even those who received minor burns looked quite healthy at first only to weaken after a few days from some unknown rea son and frequently died. "Since the explosion of the atomic bomb affected an area of 30 kilometers in diameter and practically all houses in this area were either blown up, knocked down or reduced by fire, it is difficult to count all of the bodies, many of which are burled under collapsed buildings. The sight of women and children wounded by the explosion defies description." ; Factory Area Hit The radio report said the bomb hit a factory area on the north ern side of the Nagasaki station and although topographically parts of that city did not receive a direct concussion from the ex plosion all windows and roofs: in these more remote parts were shattered or blasted, "with the result that almost the entire city was affected by the raid," .
