One "inquisition center" from Which several men were liberat ed will not be further identified until after it is fully occupied. Military Burial At "Hellhole hospital," one Australian patient had died 24 hours before the Americans ar rived, and was still unburicd. A British destroyer provided a guard of honor and he was in terred with full military rites. Despite the hazard, prisoners said they always welcomed American bombing raids on Japan. Many B-29 crewmen were among the prisoners and had been beaten severely; airmen, like submariners, were placed In a "special" classification by the captors. First Real Meal Conditions improved after Japan's surrender Was an nounced, the prisoners said. Beatings were less frequent, and from plane-dropped rations the men got their first real meal in months. Prisoners will be sent home as soon as possible. Air trans portation will be provided if available. Among the survivors on the mercy ship, Reeves, was Com mander Richard O'Kane of Dur ham, N. H., skipper of the U. S. submarine Tang, torpedoed off Formosa last October. Sensational Rescue The sub effected a sensational rescue of 22 pilots shot down during carrier plane smashes against Truk, Japanese naval bastion in the Carolines. O'Kane found eight other crewmen of the Tang. "We were held and questioned incessantly under constant threat of death," O'Kaine said. "It was worse than anything we had seen before."

With the end of the war in the Pacific, OWI Director Davis recommended liquidation of his ecency. some of its suuu em ployes likely will be absorbed by the state department. In a statement accompanying an executive order, the president said he had asked the state de partment to study foreign infor mation needs and to formulate during the remainder of this cal endar year the foreign informa tion program which he considers should be conducted on a con tinuing basis. "The domestic work of OWI, such as cooperation with the press, radio, motion pictures, and other informational media in ex plaining governmental programs, is no longer as necessary as it was,", tne president said.

GHARREO BY BLAZE (Continued From Page One) soaked 'logs along the dock. The flames reached an acetylene line and mushroomed through the entire area and over ships' su perstructure, sending workers diving into the water's safety. Milting Workers Escaping workmen reported two fellow-workers disappeared. Dragging of the basin, however, yielded no bodies, and police said no families had reported workers missing. The Billings Victory an al most completed vessel which tinhatters stood ready to launch without ceremony yesterday should the flames reach the ways probably will be launch ed after Labor Day. Edgar F. Kaiser, general manager, said the maritime commission ad vised him the other two hulls on contract the Boise and Brain ard would alio be completed.

Coal And Sugar Scarcity Shadows Peacetime Picture (Continued From Pge One) on which to base the prosecu tions. ' '! WPB Chairman J. A. Krug said yesterday: "Reconversion is coming along better man we nan expected." Krug issued a report based on a WPB survey of 42 minor in dustries. - He predicted that by December, industry will be pro ducing civilian goods at a high er rate in value than it did in the pre-war years 1939-41. That doesn't mean industry will have absorbed all the unemployed war workers and veterans by mat time. Far from it. The "unemployment compen sation" bill in congress is back ed by President Truman. The proposal is to use federal funds to help the States bring their payments to jobless people up to a level of $25 a week for 26 weeks. But the powerful ways and means committee of the house apparently was frowning on the measure today. One supporter said privately that probably not more than six of the committee's 24 members would vote for the bill. Chairman Doughton (D N. C.) said it Duts "a Dremium on loafing." Klamathires Promised Ideal Weather (Continued from Page One) annual Lakevlew roundup and county fair whlcli will be held on September 1, 2 and 3 in Lake view. Riders from Klamath county will participate in the show and $2600 in cash prizes are being offered. A feature of Monday's card will be the Rotary club livestock auction. Motorists Cautiontd Acting Chief of Police Orville Hamilton this week cautioned motorists planning Labor Day trips to take care to avoid ac cidents which may mar the first postwar holiday. "Highways of this stat will carry heavier volumes of traffic than in recent years" said Ham ilton. "We also expect the aver age traffic pace to be faster due to the relaxation of the 35-mile wartime speed limit. Unless every driver is alert, these condi tions may well result in serious accidents during the holiday period." Hamilton also stressed the fact that tires and cars might not be in too good condition and ad vised careful driving for all motorists. Local business houses will take ALLIES EXTEND L T (Continued from Page One) ful Jnps in a long time," Eieliel bcrgcr declared in compliment ing liis long-time enemies for liv ing up to the letter of the occu pation agreement. "If the Japanese continue their present attitude, there will be no trouble for them nor for us."' In contrast to the clear beau tiful weather which marked yes terday's airborne landing at At sugi and the occupation of Yoko suka naval base, up and across the' bay from Tateyama, the leathernecks took, possession of the vital naval installation in a driving rainstorm. Surrender Plans, Already, while plans for the final surrender ceremonies still were underway, naval occupa tion forces at Yokosuka had started development of the great base for the use of allied ship ping. The time for the Sunday cere monies still was not announced and it was uncertain whether Admiral Halsey's flagship Mis souri, aboard which the formal capitulation will be made, will remain at its present anchorage several miles off Yokosuka or will move in closer to give the population of the Tokyo -Yokohama area a close up look at the mighty 45,000-ton symbol of American sea power. M'Arthur't Headquarters General MacArthur, allied su preme commander for Japan, es tablished his temporary head quarters in the New Grand hotel in Yokohama, Tokyo's port city. Much of the city was in ashes from the American fire-bomb ings of past months, but the New Grand stood out untouched amid the ruins. The Japanese bustled about, ostensibly striving to smooth the way for the alien victors. One such Nipponese touch was preparation of telephone direc tories, stencilled in English long hand and listing more than 1000 numbers for the various Ameri can installations. The American embassy In Tokyo, its roof half burned off by an American bombing April 25, was scheduled for quick re pair, to become MacArthur's reg ular headquarters. No immediate march into Tokyo was planned, but in a constantly-widening sphere the stars and stripes supplanted the rising sun on the flagstaffs of Japan. Yank Precautions For all the Japanese attitude of submission, the occupation forces were taking no chances on treachery. , Both yesterday, at the time of the formal mass landings at Yo kosuka naval base in Tokyo bay and at the Atsugi airdrome southwest of Tokyo, and again today, more than 100 Super fortresses and 60 Mustang fight ers roared in steady circles over the landing scenes. Nothing happened, but the Superforts and fighters were ready with 50-caliber machine guns to annihilate any show of opnosition in the land thev so re cently devastated with fire, ex plosives and the heart-shaking atomic bomb.

Carlson, a member of the Rotary club in Ketchikan and a resident of Alaska for 21 years, told Rotar ians at the Friday luncheon. Coastal and pan handle fish ing is 80 per cent of the indus try of Alaska, Carlson said, and minerals 15 per cent. Alaska contributes over half of the world's catch and maintains 159 canneries, and 60.000 fishing boats. Three million dollars worth of furs were exported last year from Alaska, and 13 per cent of the national forests arc located there, he pointed out, forecasting a tremendous tour ist trade in (he near future. Carlson was introduced as guest speaker by Percy Wells, program chairman. Henry Semon reported on the junior livestock show set for September 16-17 at Klamath fairgrounds, and stated that a barbeque would be held again this year as in pre-war times.

Quisling Accused Of Nazi Plotting OSLO, Norway, Aug. 31 (P) Vidkun Quisling, on trial for his life, was accused today of taking Germans to the defense ministry on the day the nazis invaded Norway and himself telephoning several military commanders telling them to cease fire. The accusation was hurled at Quisling by Prosecutor Annacus Schjoedt, summing up for the crown in the treason trial.
