announced today he had begun to
plan for a Victory Loan drive. 1t

a fitting climax for the series of
successful drives by which we at
home have financed the war"
1t is probable that the goal will be
from 10 to IA billion dollars. The
last drive-the 7th-had a goal of
$14, ,000,0 100000. In the seven drives

North Luzon Fighting
Goes On as Yanks Try
To Get Japs 10 Quit
BY the Associated Press.

MANILA, Aug. 16.-Scattered
fighting continued in Northern
Luzon'S mountains today.
Meanwhile, American command
manders spurred efforts to inform
all isolated Japanese OF Emperor
Hirohito's surrender and to persuade
them to lay down their arms.
The Luzon reaction is being
viewed by military leaders here as
an important test whether the jap
anese commanders and troops in the
held will obey the imperial mandate,
Many prisoners expressed belief
that junior officers and enlisted
men would gladly yield but high
ranking officers might refuse.
To get surrender news to the
japanese, American forces were
utilizing leaflets, loudspeakers, signs
and volunteer prisoners of war.
Leaflets Dropped.
In the 14th Corps sector of the
Luzon mountains airplanes dropped
$4,000 leaflets this morning telling
OF the Emperors action and ap-
pealed to the Japanese troops to
conform. BY midafternoon there
was no indication of any effect.
Other leaflets were addressed "to
all officers, advising them ito gather
your troops together and send an
emissary with a white flag to our
lines"
The principal Luzon fighting was
precipitated by predawn banzai at
tacks against 32d Division units. AS
In a similar action yesterday, one
Yank was killed and five were
wounded. Twenty Japanese were
killed.
Corps headquarters reported 231
Japanese were counted dead yester-
day, the day the Emperor issued the
surrender rescript Many of them
were killed previously.
Lit. Gen. Oscar w. Griswold, CORPS
cCmmander, has been authorized to
accept surrender of 1t. Gen. Tomo-
yuki Yamashita, leader of the jap
anese forces on Luzon.
Big Sign to Be Used.
To get the word to the Japanese.
the 38th Is using mechanical weaseIs
to penetrate the mountains beyond
the roads. One plane will fly over
isolated japanese with 30x3-foot
sign printed in japanese: "Hirohito
has surrendered"
Prisoners have volunteered to 90
to Shimbu headquarters with sur
render news and tell the Japa-
nese there is no disgrace in sur
rendering now because the Emperor
has surrendered for the empire.
Five new prisoners at first ex-
pressed disbelief when advised of
the Emperor's surrender. They said
they had no war news for two
months.
A japanese Navy officer in the
9Th Divisions prisoner of war camp
said: There will be no trouble
when American soldiers 60 to Japan
If it is the wish Of the Emperor.
The Japanese people, Army and
Navy exist only by the will of the
Emperor"

Jap Surrender Brings
|5peedup'in Return Of
Troops From Europe
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 16.-Five Ameri-
can divisions not previously
alerted were given the green
light yesterday to 60 home in
about q month, as one Of the
f1rst results Of the Japanese sur
render on the redeployment pro-
gram.
/. United States headquarters for
the European theater announced
that the redeployment plan would
be accelerated with ships becoming
available as the result of declining
Pacific needs.
The five divisions, made up Of
high point" veterans, were alerted
for shipment home within 80 days
after the ofncial declaration of vi
day. ..
WAC Returns to Rise.
They are the 69th and SD Infan-
try Divisions OF the 7th Army, the
103d and 9Th Armored Divisions of
the Sd Army and the 17th Air-borne
Division. The announcement said
two more armored divisions will be
alerted shortly.
Thousands Of Yanks at Marseille,
staging area for transfers direct to
Manila, were notified oficially that
there will be no further shipments
Of troops from Europe to the Pacific,
pending word from the War De-
partment outlining changes In pol
Icy.
1t. Col. Mary A. Hallaran, staff
director OF the WAC, said that fol-
lowing VI day, WAC redeployment
which was set at 200 monthly for
July and August" would be increased
in proportion to that of male per-
sonnel.
Two Priorities Set.
"Two priorities have been set for
the return of high-score officers, u
the headquarters announcement
said. 'The flrst is for the return of
omcers with arduous combat serv-
ice and the second is for the return
Of officers with long overseas serv-
ice. Enlisted men will be returned
on the basis Of their adjusted serv-
ice rating scores, with the highest
pointers first"
In moving out the high-score men
first, the announcement continued
one method viii be to I'LL in divisions
with men from the Armies CORDS
while second will involve use OF
9 quota system for returning air
forces and service troops through
the reinforcement command, which
previously used quota system for
all troops.
when the first rush is over" the
announcement added, 1.-The whole
theater probably will return to q
quota basis"
Headquarters said many ca Vic
tory ships capable OF carrying $500
men each, originally intended for
shipment Of materials to the Pa
ciflc, now will be used to return
troops to the United States from
Europe.
Another immediate change will
come about through the cancellation
OF cargoes on Liberty ships which
have been sailing from New York
with supplies for Europe and re-
turning with men. These vessels
will leave the United States empty,
thus saving "turnabout" time at
Antwerp.

Nine Overcome Battling Charcoal Fire at A.B.Co.

A fire in charcoal pit at the American Brass company, West Main street, Saturday, sent seven firemen to the hospital and two others received treatment on the scene. The nine men were over- come by carbon -monoxide gas fumes rising from the burning charcoal. Hospital authorities at St. Mary's hospital, reported that the men were discharged yesterday morning.
 The seven men, all stationed at fire headquarters were: Deputy Chief Stephen Bloomfield, It. Wal ter Joy, Pvts, Dennis Shugrue, Wal ter Gerard, Leonard Murphy, John Norton and James O'Donnell. Pvt. Charles Luddy, also overcome, was taken home by Capt. Eugene Legge after he was treated at the scene by pr. Alfred Finn. It. Maurice Noonan, the other fireman, received treatment at the hospital but was not detained there.
 Fire Marshal Dennis Lahey and Capt. Legge reported that the fire, a stubborn one, was fought by the men for several hours, and the American Brass firemen attempted to extinguish the blaze for som- time previous to calling for assist ance at Fire Headquarters.
 About 400 to 800 bushels of char coal, stored in the south end of the yard, ignited due to spontaneous combustion, 1t was reported. Hose lines were used to wash away the top of the pile in order to get at the fire which was Smouldering un- derneath.
 The charcoal Is used by the com pany as fuel for the furnaces in the casting shop, company officials said.
