MAKE YOUR OWN : BED' I5 FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

AS a welcome change from the more serious dramatic screenfare which has come this way since the start of the war. Warner Bros. Make Your Own Bed, sprightly comedy of nonsense starring Jack Carson, Jane Wyman and Irene Manning, opens Sunday at the 20th Century Based on the current shortage in domestic help, the film goes gaily along it's way, pointing out the many problems inherent in this situation and never once pre- tending to solve one of them.
 Jack Carson, in his first comic starring part, plays Jerry Curtis. would-be detective with more en- ergy than intelligence whose search for the perfect crime ends, literally in the soup. Jane Wyman is Susan, his long-suffering sweetheart, while Irene Manning is seen in one Of the surprise roles (for her) of the season-that of dizzy dame with not a song in her repertoire and not thought in her head.
 Also in the excellent supporting cast are George Tobias as next door neighbor; Alan Hale as Irene Manning's husband, Robert Shayne, Tala Mirell, Rilcardo Cortez and others.

 The natives proved to be good farmers and hog breeders. The peculiar 100-foot watch towers that airmen had seen in the valley turned out to be vantage points for keeping the pigs out of the yams.
 In the thatched huts there were no cooking utensils. Stones served as plates and fingers in lieu of forks. Yet the natives generously offered their visitors roast pork and yams.

YAMASHITA WILLING 10
 SURRENDER
Reveals Location of His Long, sought Mountain
 HideOut on Luzon
By DEAN SCHEDLER

MANILA, Aug. 28-Lt. Gen. Yam ashita, faded from "The Tiger of Malaga to "The Badger of Baguio, has revealed the location of his long sought mountain hideout.
 A crude map was clipped to a let ter sent to Maj. Gen. W. H. Gill, commander of the American 32nd Division, indicating the Japanese commanders willingness to surren- der.
 The refuge from which Yamashita directed the last-ditch stand of his Luzon survivors is among precipitous peaks in the mountains near the yil- lage of Kiangan.
 The map shows only one trail lead ing into the pinnacle-guarded mar TOW valley, and it approaches within full view of Yamashitas hidden sem tries.
 While curious American troops watched surrender proceedings, one Japanese officer told his men:
 Although you have been the Americas enemies for many years from now on you are to be friends.

 PERSONNEL
Nearly 3,OOO,OOO Men, Women to Be Restored
 to Civilian Status

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 - The Navy set out today to return D. 339, 900 men and women to civilian status within year.
 Secretary Forrestal outlined the Navy's vastly expanded demobiliza- ticn plans to newsmen. Previously, the sea arm contemplated dis charging between 1,500,000 and D. 100000 within a year or Is months.
 Now, however, the plan is to cut-back Navy strength to 500,000 enlisted personnel and 50,000 of ficers in the next F months. That will mean the discharge of about 2,575,000 men and women and LOGO officers.
 FoiTestal also reported that the Navy's point system for discharge will be altered to allow credit for overseas service. This credit, the Secretary said, will be included in the discharge formula within about two months without any reduction in the present sources necessary for discharge or any decrease in the credit now allowed for age, service or dependency.

 Members of the House Ways and Means Committee said deposition from the late President Roosevelts son was on file but that yesterdays session was devoted entirely to study of two other statements. : These were from Juin Hartford, President of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co.,, and Jesse Jones, former Secretary of Commerce.
 Several committeeman, while ask ing that their names not be used, quoted Hartford's deposition as say ing that:
 The late President was consulted by the grocery chain head before LIt ldtJSi lOdiltQ JOuiiB itOOoC'tAe $100,000 Jones later settled the loan for $4,000.
 While approving of the loan in a telephone conversation with Hart ford, MT Roosevelt assumed no fin- ancial or moral obligation in con- nection with it.
 Hartford made the per cent loan in connection with young Rooseyelt's radio chain development on strict ly business basis, expecting no fav- ors from the President in return.
 Jones statement, according to the committeeman, said he made the settlement with Hartford out of his personal funds after MT. Roosevelt asked him to straighten out Elliott's financial affairs. Jones was quoted as saying that the $4,000-and $500 in connection with another settle ment--had not been repaid, but that he was confident he would be reim- bursed.

JAPAN BEATEN
 BEFORE ATOMIC

Authentic Word of Condi- lions Are Given by
 Nippon Officers
By Murlin Spencer

SAGAMI BAY, Japan, Aug. 28- As great numbers of transport planes flew into Japan with Am erican troops today, evidence was piling up that Nippon was badly beaten even before the first atomic bomb was dropped or Soviet Russia entered the war.
 The first authentic word of Japan's condition came from Japa- nese naval officers wno were put aboard transport ships to pilot them into Sagami Bay. They told of country that is hungry. with it's transportation system knocked out, Its fleet sunk or damaged. it's air force grounded for lack of fuel.
 Tokyo isn't nice place to live these days" said one officer There isn't much food and many people have been bombed out of their homes"
 This doesn't mean Japan wasn't badly frightened by the atomic bomb, for one officer termed 1t "a very bad thing Russias entry into the war also was dishearten- ing
 But the constant hammering of the home islands by Superforts. carrier planes and Okinawa- based squadrons already had put Japan into position where she couldn't have held out long. the Japanese officers said

The Pacific case involves the es- tablishment of extensive new and additional air transportation ser vice between the United States and the Orient, between the United States and Australia, and between the United States and Alaska.
 PAA's Authorization

BILLION DOLLAR
 DEPOT EVIDENCE
 OF WARS WASTE
By MILTON c. KELLY

CALCUTTA, Aug. 28.-A giant ammunition depot supplying all the Allied forces in China, Burma and India stands somewhere in India as a veritable monument to wars waste.
 The 129,466 tons of explosives it contains were a priceless asset of the fighting forces until Japan's sur render. Overnight they became worth only a small fraction of their ori- ginal cost, which had been estimated informally by military authorities at between $50.0OO,OO0 and $82,OO0, 900.
 Like all stores of American am- munition on foreign soil. this dump has now become a vexing problem to Army authorities who must decide upon it's disposition,
 Much of the explosives, however, probably will be dumped into the ocean where they can do no harm.

2-ALARM BLAZE RACES TODAY IN
 ALA5KA LAUNDRY
Damage Confined io Small Area Cenfered Below
 Local Structure

Only relatively minor damage to the building and equipment Of the Alaska Laundry here resulted from two-alarm blaze that ragged about line cages under the main laundry floor, according to the statement of Charles E. Naghel, spokesman for the laundry company.
 A choking pail of smoke invading adjacent buildings gave first im- pression to onlookers that a large share of Juneau's downtown area was under attack by flames. Actual rayages of the fire, however, were confined to one piece of the laun- dry's equipment-a dry tumbler and to charring supporting timbers within a radius of about 40 feet of the lint cages.
 MT Naghel made no definite state ment today regarding the dollar value of the loss, but said that he expected the laundry to be back in operation tomorrow. as soon as burn ed away electrical wiring is replac- ed.
 Damage to garments and other goods being serviced was confined to pieces actually within the tumb- Ter when the blaze started-nearly all of which was the laundry's own linens, MT Naghel stated Only one or two bags of customers laun- dry were destroyed. Their owners are not yet known.

NEW YORK-Ever since the first GI donned khaki for what was then supposed to be year of mill tary training, experts have been telling everyone who would listen what the returning veteran will want. Some of the pundits have shown an acute understanding of the civilian n-turned-soldier. Others have completely missed the boat.
 To the man in uniform most of the arguments have sounded like so much hogwash and wishful thinking. The theory that the youngster who left prep school to carry a gun against the forces of Fascism would remain sweetly un- sophisticated and immature after having seen something of the rest of the world and the evils of dictatorship has been special gripe of the man in the foxhole. The belief that all that the CT could possibly want would oe found in a piece of homemade blueberry pie la mode is constant source of irritation to men in uniform.
 The chief thing that the man in uniform wants is to return to civilian ways of life. No one who has not had to forgo the right of individual action for from two to
