President Roosevelt's declara-
tion that Germany and Japan will
be occupied by Allied military,
even though they surrender un-
conditionally before their borders
are crossed by victorious armies,
will ease a lot OF anxious minds
which have feared that the gangs
ters might by some skullduggery
squirm out OF their just and nee.
essary deserts.
Military occupation OF enemy
countries isn't matter OF revenge.
It's vital to ensure peace. There's
no doubt that Allied failure to oc-
cupy Germany in the last war was
partly responsible for the present
outburt OF aggression, and japan
also probably was encouraged by
the "softness' OF the Allies. Both

Help Needed
at Hospital

Need OF employees in Ypsilanti
State Hospital is still very acute,
DR.. o. X. Yoder. superintendent
said this morning, although It is
not as severe as II was year or
two ago.
There are at present 1873 vacan-
cies. The chief shortage is in the
attendants department, where there
is need OF 81 employees. both men
and women. II is especially diff
ficult TO get sufficient women to
work at the hospital, the superin-
tendent said.
The salary raises granted for
hospital employees by the civil
service commission failed to re-
lieve the shortage materially, and
Or. Yoder believes that II is not
a matter OF salary but is due 10
the general manpower shortage.
Charles F. Wagg, secretary OF
the state hospital commission, said
today. I'VE are no better off than
we were a year ago and at Pontiac
we are definitely in a poorer con
dition. There just doesn't seem
to be enough manpower to relieve
US. We feel we can't compete on
wage basis with private indus
try for manpower, but we can offer
job security, no layoffs, and retire

India Might be Partitioned

Bombay, India, Aug. 17-AP-Mo-
handas X. Gandhi and Mahomed
Ali Jinnah, two OF India's foremost
political leaders, will meet Satur-
day to discuss a proposal TO parti-
ton India into separate autono-
nous Mindu and Moslem states.
Observers say their conference,
the first in five years, may turn
out to be the most important event
in the last two centuries OF Indian
history.
The conference Is believed unlike
ly to produce solution of the Hin
du-Moslem problem In detail. But
It may result In treaty" setting
forth the broad principles for divi-
sion of the country. II Is expected
such treaty would be endorsed by
Gandhi's all-India Consress party
and the Moslem League OF which
Jinnah is president.
Seeks Autonomy
Jinnah Is known to want a separ-
ate Moslem state which would be
completely autonomous and control
its own defense, finances and CON-
munications just like any other SOW
ereign state.
Jinnah's demands go beyond
what Gandhi already has said he Is
prepared to offer. The Congress
party leader recently virtually con-
ceded the partition principle, but
suggested that small districts in
which Moslems predominate should
be defined and should vote on
whether they want divided or un-
divided India.
Gandhis prime object In ap-
preaching Jinnah Is to secure his
cooperation in the formation OF a
coalition government TO replace i'm
mediately the present central gov
ernment. Gandhi wants composite
government at once composed OF
the Congress party, the Moslem
League, and perhaps other minor
tiles.
