SAN FRANCISCO, June II
japanese Premier Kantaro Su-
zuki admitted today that the
military had taken over the rule
of the country and declared he
would not resign even with the
fall of Okinawa.
The Japanese people, meanwhile,
were instructed to make of the home
island "a fortress rivaling Rabaul in
impregnability," as the premier in
dicated the army and navy were
depending on one bold stroke at the
American feet and on overwhelm-
ing manpower to bring victory
eventually.
The developments were reported
by the Tokyo radio and Japanese
government-controlled Domei news
agency in broadcasts recorded by
the Federal Communications Com
mission.
Suzuki in a press conference an
nounced his decision to remain at
his post regardless of the Okinawa
results, and declared the struggle
there was not "A decisive battle
which will determine the final out.
come Of this war"
The disclosure that the military
was in direct control OF the govern.
ment came in an answer to q re.

zuki explained the Supreme Wal
Council, composed entirely of army
and navy department officers and
ministers now functions virtually

Suzuki emphasized American SUD-
ply problems in invading Japan,
and asserted the Americans would
require months to land even half a
million troops which would be met
with forces 5 or 10 times superior. :"

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

To get the benefit of today's Sylvia" hand. you should look at the West hand and the bidding Note that during the course of the bidding. East bids clubs. I dare say the natural thing for West to do would be to cash the king and queen of diamonds and then shift to a club. But then the declarer would make his contract.
 Sylvia probably forgot her part ner had bid clubs. After cashing the king and queen of diamonds, she did not know what to do next, so she just led another diamond.
 Now look at all four hands and see what happened. There was no way to prevent East from making two heart tricks. Of course, de- clarer could trump with dumIny'S s king and hearts, and in that case East must be smart enough not to trump at all, but simply discard a small spade.

Snack Time

Is your family always raiding the ice box when they are hungry, and do they usually lunch on the foods you had planned for tomorrow nights supper? If the answer is "yes," your solution to the problem is to plan for these snacks. Save one of the shelves in the ice box and one in your cupboard to put the in- viting bits for their between meal eating. It is a wonderful way to utilize the foods which won't quite stretch for the whole family at mealtime.
 Of course "nibbling" at all hours of the day and night is not a good habit. but regular snack time" if 1t is needed, can be planned for just as the other three meals are. Very likely it is needed by hard working adults, and by rapidly growing or very active children. The food eaten should be in harmony with the complete food score for the. day. If your three meals haven't quite met the Basic Seven" require- ment put the missing foods on the snack shelf. Always remember that they should contribute to the health of the faimly, and be part of the days meal pattern. Between-meal snacxS, especially for boys and girls, need careful consideration. The amount and kind of foods, and the time they are eaten depend upon the age and activity of the young Sters. Those who take part in active play or do special jobs may need well selected snack immediately after school to satisfy them until supper time. Some high school boys and girls who put in long evenings of study need nourishment before they go to bed. Dad or mother may need snack before starting to work in the afternoon, or just before the night shift.
 There are many combinations you may want to try. Milk or a milk drink is alway good = for everyone. Fruit or fruit .uice may be way of getting in that extra serving of fruit you somehow skipped when you planned the meals. Ice cream and cookies are always popular, es- pecially when the weather is warm. Whatever your choice is, be sure 1t is easily digested.

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Here's a Hair-R1ising Trick Which Keeps An Upswept Coiffure Intact
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Hair-raising trick to try, if you have trouble keeping yours aloft at temples or in an up-swung coif, is to place your combs at diagonal slant.
 This way they're much more apt to stay anchored than when you square them of with your head,
 For grip that's hard to pry loose, says Patti, who comes through with another tip, always push combs in the direction opposite the way your hair is angled.
 To fluff up wilted curls or to deepen waves, hold your brush so your wrist can twist, thus keeping bristles turning and tugging through hair If you are blessed with two brushes, you can do twice as good job. Patti says. Grip one in each fist and twist from a rub bery wrist.
