control of their party and there might
be some hope for the preservation Of
this country as a republic.
Should this happen it would be nc
more of a doublecross or back stab to
Mr.. Roosevelt than was the deal dealt
Mr.. Wallace in Chicago it would be
pure political expediency.
The pres ut stew about Mississippi
electors is apt to dissolve into nothing
ness because it is practically certain
that regardless or in spite of solid south
support the Democratic party will not
have enough electoral votes to win. We
now have too much scum in our ranks
to attract independent voters.

Relatives and friends who know that

late mailings, causing concentration Of
great numbers of packages in the final

to defeat the program. 1t is stressed that
success can be assured, with the limited

In kuriles Are Bombed Aouin

Ventura search planes of Fleet
Air Wing dropped more than five
tons of bombs on Paramushiro and
Shumushu Islands the night of
February 10, Admiral Nimitz said.
The planes encountered heavy anti

the Japanese have q navy base
Shumushu Island is just to the
north, and both form the northern
most segments Of the Kurile Is
lands in the Japanese archipelago
Although this North Pacific area
is under the jurisdiction of Admiral
Nimitz as commander in chief of

time the announcement of an at
tack on the Kuriles had come from

a favorable influence upon the pres
ent and future attitude of the popu-
lation toward the United States and
its Allies"
The manual warned: "The treat
ment of the population of any oc-
cupied territory will vary, depend
ing upon the attitudes of the people
toward the occupying forces; their
degree of cooperation with these
forces; the degree of their indus
trial, economic, political and moral
development, and the political,
diplomatic and military policy of
our Government toward the govern
ment of the territory occupied"
"Reprisals" May Be Necessary.
The taking Of hostages, the i'm
position of collective fines, or the
carrying out of reprisals become
military necessities in some situa-
tions, the manual pointed out, but
should be taken only as IAN un-
avoidable last resort to induce a
hostile population to desist from
unlawful practices"
As conditions approach normal in
any occupied territory, it was di-
rected, military control will be re-
laxed and supreme authority
will finally be released to a recog-
nized sovereign power"
