PEACE:
Tighten Imperial Grip

Even as General Macarthur ar
ranged the complicated procedure
for japanese surrender and occupa-
ton, the U. S. prepared for the ma
jor readjustments looming ahead be-
fore the nation once again could
tread the paths of peace.
With the Japanese government
anxious to bring about cessation OF
firing before the preliminary surren-
der parley in Manila, the conference
was postponed to permit members
of the imperial household to fly to the
far-fung Asiatic battlefronts to en-
force the emperor's orders to lay
down arms.
Appointment of tough and able ST.
year-old Prince Higashi-Kuni as Jap
premier disclosed an effort to bring
all of the weight of the imperial
family behind the surrender accept
ance to avert any outbreak of die
hards which might upset the inter-
nal situation. A second cousin OF
the emperor and an uncle of the
empress, Higashi-Kuni has had a
long career in the Jap army, serv-
ing as chief of the military aviation
board, commander of defense head
quarters and member Of the SUI
preme war council.
While 1t was expected that some
fanatical officers may try to fight
on, or commit hara-kiri, the great
mass Of Japanese were expected to
give up peaceably. There will be

FRANCE:
Break Marshal

Leader of Frances liberation move
ment, Gen. Charles de Gaulle spared
the life of Marshal Henri Petain by
committing his death sentence for
plotting against the internal safety
of the country to life Imprisonment.
Nevertheless, the jury's additional
sentence of national indignity stood,
imposed even after Petain's final as
sertion: "My thought, my only
thought, was to remain with the peo-
pie of France as l promised instead
Of abandoning them in their agony.
My honor belongs to your
country. e. ="
Most controversial French case of
the century, Petain's trial found the
country sharply divided, with
charges on the one hand that the old
marshal had delivered the state up
to the Germans, and counter
charges on the other that prewar
politicians were using the proceed
ings to whitewash themselves.

Employ Lawyers To
Test Case Involving
Race Track Funds

County commissioners last
night, by a unanimous vote, de-
cided to retain firm of Tai
lahassee lawyers to test the con-
stitutionality of a law that was
adopted at the last legislature re-
curing the commissioners to con-
tribute one-half of the race track
money they receive to the Key
West General Hospital.
Commissioners Frank Bentley
and Maxine Valdez, who are in
Tallahassee, left written state
ments with the county clerk
authorizing the chairman of the
commission to cast their vote in
favor of the resolution to retain
council to contest the law.
The Tallahassee firm said that
they would handle the case for a
fee of between 81 500 to $4,000.
The county is now giving the
hospital $4,000 a year.
