New Revelations
Point to Action
in Pacific

Quebec Que. Aug. 2i-INS-The
momentous Quebec war conference
between President Roosevelt and
British Prime Minister Churchill
drew to a close today with the
strongest possible emphasis on the
fact that the meetings were called
/ primarily to lay the plans for war
fare against the japanese aggres-
sors in the Pacific
During the last few days OF the
talks on the ST. Lawrence River,
newsmen have been given crumbs
OF information which have caused
them to switch from speculation or
forthcoming European operations TO
a virtual certainty that the prime
reason for the conference was 10

war in the East
Five clues
There have been five different
announcements, all official which
have caused reporters from the Al

cupation Of Kiska.

position in the war talks in the

cerned chiefly with prose euting the
war against japan primarily a
naval operation.

important points OF strategy in the
Pacific" and that they were a
very. very important part OF the
conference
Not Accidental

the five points, all doyetailing into
the pi1ture OF war against Japan
could have been let slip by the ex.

In an effort to clear up any mis-
understanding concerning tn e
movement of traffic and the con-
duct of the general public, during

In the Blue signal period, the

automobile headlights having the
upper one-half of their lenses OBJ

during the period of the Blue sig.
nal except to relieve congested
areas.
Also during the Blue signal pc
riod, all lights must be out unless
specifically exempted; pedestrians
may walk; and workers remain
at jobs.
During the Red signal period

ed intermittent blasts of five sec
onds on and three seconds off fol
