Tokyo Mainichi analysed Japan's
political course, indicating a wi
val of political activity following
last Saturdays decision of the
country's wartime Totalitarian Par
ty-the political association of
great .Japan-to dissolve.
The Times said a new political
system must be established,
"springing from the real life of
the japanese people," This new
government, it added, will differ
Gin superficial detail" from the
Democratic governments of the
Western powers ''but it can
command the respect and win. the
appreciative understanding of the
rest of the world and simultane-
ously command the self-respect and
express the essential spirit of the
Japanese people themselves.
The newspaper warned that post
war political activity must not be
favored with intentions to curry
favor" with the Allied powers and
predicted the Diet (Parliament>
again would ''become the center
of the nations political influence. -
The Mainichi admitted the fail
ure to "build up a Japan based
on sheer might and said the new
Japan will be built on justice and
peace"

Japanese authorities distributed
leaflets, however, to the inhabi-

reassure them that the region will

Allied occupation forces land there.
Domei said ''there has been I'm.
rest and anxiety in Yokosuka and
the Miura Peninsula in general
from the fear that the area might

"Such rumors are groundless.

CHINESE DIRECT
JAP PROCEDURE

Chin, commander-in-ch Of the
Chinese Army, to Gen. Yasuii
Okamura, commander-in-ch chief of
the Japanese Army in China.
Indo-China territory covered by
these instructions lies north of a
line running from just below Tou-
rane, on the Gulf of Tonkin coast
across Indo-Chira to Khemmarat,
on the Thai frontier. It embraces
the areas of Tinkin, Laos, and
about half of AMMAN.
Ho also obliged Okamura not to
hand over his troops and territor-
les to man who were not authoriz-
ed for the purpose by Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek, head Of the Cen
trail government.
This provision was in an effort
to block the surrenderS of Japan
csc arms and troops to any Chin
csc Communists officials who might
attempt to accept them without au-
thorization from Chang and the
Central government.
Ho required Okamura to hand
over: arms and munitions of all
japanese forces in China, all Jap
anese aircraft in China, japanese
shipping, vehicles. airfields, har-
bors, Wharves, factories, ware
houses and raw materials, all
buildings and military installations,
all documents and intelligence files
in China, Central News Agency
said.
French official sources announc-
ed yesterday that some 5000
French troops who took refuge in
South China after rising against
the Japanese last spring would
cross into Indo-China with the Chin
csc forces and join in liberating
Indo-China. Central News reports
of the latest movements did not
indicate whether they participated
in the occupation of Caobang.

wegian resistance"
Quisling admitted sending tele-
gram to Hitler. during the exciting
days of April, 1910.
Hitler was enraged by Nor
wegian opposition and I hoped to
soothe him. said Quisling.
DO you think the German rage
was justified or called for?' the
judge asked.
well, yes" Quisling answered,
II thought the attitude of Norwe-
gians was wrong and dangerous. "
Earlier in the day Quisling had
taken the stand in an attempt to
disprove prosecution allegations of
yesterday concerning Quisling's re-
lations with the Nazis prior to the
invasion of Norway.
He had hardly started, however,
before Schjoedt broke in to state
he had additional documents
against Quisling to present to the
court.
Schjoedt then read document
from Germany telling of a purport-
ed meeting of Quisling and the
German Admiralty staff in 1889,
during which Quisling was alleged
to have presented information re-
garding Norway's coast to Raeder
and high ranking Nazi military
men.
Before Schjoedt interrupted,
Quisling had given some informa-
ton about his military career. He
was subjected to sharp question
ing as to his military responsible
lily in 1910 as a former major in
the Royal Norwegian Army.
Certainly I had certain obliga-
tiohs, but I resigned from my
duties in 1888 in protest against the
defense policy pursued by the gov
eminent, he said. Neither in
peace nor in war could l serve
as an officer under such a defense
policy
Quisling came into the court
room this morning with a deter
mined swing and busted himself
with his papers. He conferred often
with his defense attorney and lis
tened intently to the judge and
prosecutor.
Schjoedt spoke of document after
document found in German arc
hives by American troops which
he asserted offered proof of Quis-
ling's guilt.
Every one of them is proof that
Quisling asked for and received
German help--political and econo-
mic - several months before the
German attack on Norway" the
prosecutor declared.
HE received at least 100, 900 gold
marks during the spring of 1910.
The sum was used for propaganda
and espionage in Norway, he
charged.

procurement by them of lend-lease

In notifying foreign economic o.

their American colleagues how

The admonition in the House OF

But as the problems of peace

Drawing attention to the omis-
sion in the Kings speech of the

U. S. S. SHEA HITS
SIX BAKA BOMBS
By MURLIN SPENCER

PEARL HARBOR, June g.
DELAYED-tRtOne of the great
feats of craftsmanship of the Paci-
fic war in which new and untried
gunners of the U.S.S. Shea shot
down six of eight suicide-bent Jap
anese planes was disclosed by the
Navy today.
The Shea, destroyer mine layer,
shared credit with another ship for
the destruction of the seventh
plane and the eighth crashed into
the second ship in a savage, TO-
minute battle North of OkinaWa on
April 16.
The dramatic action was related
by the Shea's tall, lean skipper,
Commander Charles C. Kirkpatrick
of Atlanta, Ca, who brought the
vessel into Pearl Harbor after
Baka bomb caused heavy damage
and casualties in n subsequent ac-
ton.
More than 200 planes swept in
from Japanese homeland bases in
| heavy raid on American shipping
around Okinawa early the morning
of the 18th and the Shea, enroute
to picket duty on the Fleets outer
fringes, stood between them and
their target.
1T started out fairly easy re-
lated Kirkpatrick. Lieut.. Thomas
O.. Marshall, Jr, Americas, Ga.
was in charge of the ships gunners,
well-trained but without previous
combat experience. Lieut.. Com
mander William H. Howell, Glen
dale, Calf, a veteran of the North
Atlantic, was executive officer in
charge of combat intelligence.
THE first two came toward us
flying fairly close together and We
got them when they were still S.
900 to 1000 yards away. They
burst into flames and crashed.
Then two more came toward
us and they were flying close to
the water in a maneuver like a
roller coaster, up and down, up
and down. We got them, too, but
they were closer when they went
down in flames.
by that time planes seemed to
be all around us. We were firing
everything we had. Every gun was
in action. We were throwing up
everything but the potatoes IN the
galley and would have thrown them
if they'd been handy.
'The next two planes were in
fairly close but we got them when
they were still 200 yards away. 1t
made six planes shot down in 10
minutes of firing. Then We helped
another ship with the seventh and
went to that ships help when the
eight crashes against her.
The Shea came out of the ac-
ton without a scratch, but shortly
afterwards, on May 4, the gallant
ship was still on picket duty 76
miles Northwest of Okinawa when
attacked by Baka bomb, the fan
tastic Japanese suicide weapon
which is virtual torpedo with
wings.
Almost before they knew it the
Baka was on them.
I'VE were in fog of smoke
blown over our way from ships
near Okinawa when out of the
smoke came this Baka. We were
making 80 knots with full right
rudder and he hit us three seconds
after we saw him.
HE hit under the bridge and our
gunners were still firing when he
struck. We had ships cook, John
Victor Brown CMother, Mrs. Anna
Lucas, Bridgeport. Conn., who had
moved to a so caliber gun station
the day before.

and wounded, but we came back"

Bluethenthal Army Air Base for
commercial air service into the
Cape Fear area, it was announced
yesterday at a meeting of City,
County and Chamber of Commerce
officials.
Walter J. Cartier, secretary OF
the Chamber, explained that no
definite action along these lines
would be taken until after the
meeting of the City Council this
morning.
Although no official statement
has been issued by City officials
concerningtheir part in the plan,
Mayor Ronald Lane was present
at yesterdays meeting. Others
present were Addison Hewlett,
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, Walter J. Cartier
and County Commissioner Harry
Gardner.
1t was disclosed at yesterday S
meeting that no communication
concerning Wilmington's interest
at Bluethenthal Field has yet been
forwarded to North Carolina S
Congressman.
The question is expected to take
an important place in this morn.
ing's regular meeting of the City
Council.
1t is possible that the City and
County delegates to appeal to the
Army Air Forces may be COM
missioned to leave for the Capt.
tol early next week.
The outlook for the advent OF
commercial air service into this
area was termed bright by Add.
son Hewlett, who said that with
the termination of hostilities, and
hence the slackening of the &C.
CELEBRATED training program at the
field, he thought it likely that the
Army would be agreeable to joint
use OF the field by commercial
carriers.
A letter was drafted to the War
Department yesterday morning
stating Wilmington's interest in
the matter.
