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

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

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.

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

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.

ful Jnps in a long time," Eieliel
bcrgcr declared in compliment
ing liis long-time enemies for liv

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.

"The war has put Alaska 50
years ahead," E. M. 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

committee sifting calves for the
show told the club the- calves ex
amined this week were in fine
shape, and grade-A stock! He
said about . 60 head will be
shown.

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.
Only by riding in on the nazi
wave could the accused gain
power," Schjoedt declared.
