a strike.
Quisling Counters
"I never asked the Germans
to kill Hanstccn," Quisling cried.
"Only to reinovo him, Ho was

"Your accusations against
Hanstccn wero not even true,"
tho prosecutor charged, "you
murdered him."
Quisling countered that "If

Order L-41 Goes Soon;
Stockpiles Low, Pro
duction Off
The government eased lumber
controls today in expectation of
a civilian building boom, but
the lumber supply picture was
confused by low stockpiles, and
production losses caused by labor
shortage, forest fires, and locally,
a crippling strike.
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.

The trial of Earl HeuveV for

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

the trial would probably be held
about the middle of October.

The other three laid down by

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.

480,000 Japs Feel Might
Of Atomic Bomb Blasts
By The Associated Press
The Tokyo radio said today
the -latest checkup on damage
done by atomic bombs dropped
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
showed that 480,000 persons
were killed, injured or made
homeless in the two Japanese
cities.
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.

FEDERAL CASE
Charles James Bricco. 64. Ft.

property which consisted of 20
cases of ham, 10 cases of bacon.
and four cases of butter, which
had allegedly been stolen by an
other person from the Marine

The 12-man lury debated about
an hour before bringing in the
verdict after a defense motion
for a directed verdict of not
guilty had been denied yesterday
by Federal Judge James Alger.

- The defense based its casft
upon the premise that Bricco.

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
