 dt Conference

QUEBEC. Aug. 20-The Quebec war conference, driving forward to advance the zero hour for the in- vasion of Europe, has produced strong official indications that a tremendous new operation against Japan is in the making.
 Brenden Bracken, British Minis ter of Information, the first high participant in the conference to give any inkling of what is going on behind the guarded portals of Quebec's citadel where Roosevelt and Churchill are meeting said.
 These plans are to bomb and burn ruthlessly, to destroy in every way available to us the people re- sponsible for creating this war. l think the war is going very well but will last a long time.
 We will not lay down our arms until we have completely conquered Japan" he added.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug. 20.-Slow but sure progress is being made by the American and Australian troops in ferreting out the Japs from the mountain ridges barring the way to the Salamaua airdrome and are reported five miles southwest of Salamaua on hard won ridge positions and are consolidating their positions.
 The capture of the Salamaua air drome will put the United States in easy fighter range of the big Jap positions in New Britain.
 The attempt of the Japanese to land forces on Vella Layella Is- land, which the Americans took last Sunday, failed with loss of nearly 30 barges and nearly all of the l,500 Japanese troops carried on them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The man chiefly responsible for AM GOT never lived to see the fruit of his labors.
 AMGOT-Allied Military Govern ment of Occupied Territories-now is operating in Sicily, marking the first time that the United States which has established many mili- tary governments, has ever been prepared for the job.
 Credit for this preparation-the careful decisions on policy the de- termination of possibilities n d limitations, the choice of methods the intensive schooling of officers for AMGOT and nothing else-is shared by many men, but most of it goes to the late Col. Irwin Le- land Hunt.
 Hunt died in Washington 10 years ago, when he was 56. And for 10 years before that, military government had been no concern of his. Nevertheless, AMGOT is Hunts brainchiid. a For Hunt was the officer in charge of civil affairs in the American zone of the occupied Rhineland, the man responsible under the military government of the area.
 Out of the successful improvisa- tions of that experience came his full analysis of the problem and his urgent recommendation that when, if ever, America again faced similar prospect, the Army get ready with specially trained group to handle the task. His re- port was one of the most complete and meticulous ever written by an Army officer on any operation, and it was documented with specific ex- amples of every kind of problem encountered, and the action taken to meet it.

 The conference consists Of Con- gressmen and some Senators from Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and possibly Iowa to discuss farm problems and foreign policies.
