TO THE EDITOR:
WILL you please explain why
there is so much shouting
and noise over the man power
shortage, also the shortage of
woman power?
Why has the Ford Motor Co,
River Rouge. laid off women
and men. About so per cent
women are laid off. The men are
cut from S1.40 to 90 cents per
hour-take it, or leave it.
If they don't take it they
lose out on unemployment COM
pensation.
What is the matter with
Local 600-what are they doing
for the men? Nothing!

I In a few moments Embysk
again faced the deputy a lock
of CONSERVATION on his face.
Its gOneu'
Murderer's accomplice! A sus-
picion born in the mind of Dep

glibly relate his escape from the
killer was working out. The boy
had not only hired the cab for
the murderer; he had also sup

Back in Pendleton, Jones
learned from Ervin'S mother
that the lad had told the truth
about stealing her money, eX-
cepting that only $1l had been
taken and that it was stolen
early Saturday, not in the after
noon.
Jones now went back 10 the
jail for another talk with the
boy:
Erwin, you haven't told me
the truth about this murder.
There wasn't any man i'm the
car with you"
"Oh yes there was, MIR. Jones'"
Ever read any detective stO-
ries, Erwin ."

boy. 81 know all about finger

the deputy, "but YOU are going

He pushed the driver out.

HE drove the car about 40
miles an hour until IL SlIidded;
IL turned right around I'm the
road. 1 was scared. but jumped
out and ran away into the
brush"
Jones made no comment on
the boys story, and, as his car
sped toward Pendleton he
turned the story over IN his
mind to see how il fitted to-
gether. lie kept thinking of
Renee, the man who had kid
mapped the Olympia cab driver,
and the fact that he was small
and dark-Skinned.
Jones knew that criminals
often used young boys as de
coys and fronts, and he could
not picture this lad as the will
ing accomplice of a murderer.
Yet if the boy was telling the
whole truth. why had that
money been left in the car?
When Pendleton was reached,
Jones placed Erwin in a deten-
lion room and then decided TO
see what he could learn about
the boy.
Another cab driIer in the city
informed Jones that ne had
taken Erwin to Reith, three
miles northwest. on Saturday
evening. Jones knew that
Walter EmbySk. brother of the
boys father, lived in Reith, so
he drove there.

the deputy.

Closing In on japan

The comments by Admiral Ches-
ter W. Nimitz, commander in chief
OF the Pacific Fleet, after his return
from flying inspection trip to
newly reconquered Guam, should be
read and interpreted in conjunction
with virtually simultaneous state
ments made by President Roosevelt.
Taken together, they yield an infor-
national framework of both our
strategy and policy toward Japan,
alike in the war and postwar periods.
The President has made it clear
that Japan can expect no terms
except unconditional surrender, and
that the war must be taken literally
to Tokyo He makes it equally plain
that Japan cannot be trusted and
must be kept under some sort of
control until the spirit of aggression,
common alike to leaders and people,
is exercised and Japan can qualify
as member of peaceful society of
nations. Judging by the imperialistic
dreams which have intoxicated the
japanese for centuries and the
fanatical spirit thus far shown in
this war to defend their ill-gotten
empire and avert defeat, it would be
logical to assume that Japan would
have to be blasted to bits and prob
ably invaded and physically con-
quered before it would submit to the
ruin of all its hopes.
1t is therefore somewhat surpris-
ing to find Admiral Nimitz express
ing doubt that an actual invasion
would be necessary, especially since
he was equally doubtful that sur
render could be brought about by
air bombardment alone. 1T will
have to be a combination of every
weapon" he stated, "sea blockade.
air bombardment, possible surface
ship bombardment." And Elmer
Davis, director of owl, elaborated
on this by suggesting the starving
out Of blockaded Japan, dependent
like Britain on imported food. The
Admiral also raised the psychologi-
cal factor in the problem of Japa-
ness resistance when he said: This
war is new experience for Japan.
We do not know how much they can
take before they'll throw in the
sponge"
Perhaps the most interesting as
pect Of the Admiral's conference was
his coupling Of doubts concerning
the necessity for actual invasion to
win the war with an unqualified
belief that Occupation Of Japan
would be necessary to insure a win
ming peace" Here the Admiral con-
ours with the President that. Japan
is not to be trusted and must give
guarantees for good conduct. He
