War May End in
1915 Claim

Because OF America tremendous
success in the Pacific the plans for
knocking out Japan undoubtedly
are in for some changes in the d.
rection OF ending the war with the
Nips a lot sooner than most eN-
pected
Some quarters in Washington
now definitely believe that there Is
q very good chance that the Paci-
n. war may end this year.
The change IN the picture is be
lieved TO be the reason for the sur
prise visit 10 Washington OF Adm.
William Halsey and hts aide,
Comdr Harold Stassen. Halsey
himself made it plain that the
Jap fleet at present is poWerless 10
cope with the American forces.
The air var against Japan, in
rreasins daily in intensity. IS ex-
peeted TO be stepped up tremen-
Gously when the YaHks take over
Two Jima. The powerful B-2Ss will
then have 10 fly only $50 miles to
Tokyo instead OF The 1900 miles
from the Marlanas
LOOKS LIKE THE JAPS are
really In for good taste OF
American rockets and robot bombs.
The Army Air Force has ordered
large quantities OF robot bombs
for test firing The German robot
VI has been reconstructed and
newer models perfected.
The Navy also hopes to spend
nearly 400 million dollars within
the next four months for the manu-
facture Of rockets and rocket am
munition
Use Of rockets proved very sue
cessfui in recent invasions OF Jap
held territory in the Pacific.
THE WAR FOOD ADMINS IRA
/ TION did not Ike It when the
/ owl changed the wording OF a re
cent WA release about food. WA
| Boss Marvin Jones issued a state
ment praising food production and
! calling for another record crop
year II we have big crops, Jones
said. We won't have big food short
ages.
Here Is how Jones statement left
the WA en- route TO the press by
OWL which distributes all war
agency publicity releases
There are bound TO be shortages
| OF some food from time TO time
as there are now. just as there are
shortages Of other commodities for
civilians.
OWL made the release read this
way. Civilians may continue 70
expect food shortages from time 20
time as a result OF increased milf
! tary requirements.
WA felt that the change tended
, 10 emphasize a food scarcity which
Jones had not intended to do.
, WASHINGTON RESIDENTS are
[ more hopeful now than ever before
that they finally Will be permitted
10 vote for president, vice presi-
dent and congressmen..a Joint
| resolution for constitutional
amendment enfranchis,ng the CAPT
tai is expected to be approved by
the full House judiciary committee
