WASHINGTON - W.H - The
best military opinion is that it
probably will take at least an
other year to beat the Japanese
into final surrender. now that
the Germans have quit.
This view is based on these
factors:
/. The immediate lack of suf-
ficient land masses in the Paci-
fic area for the concentration of
large air and ground forces
against the japanese home
land.

might be enough to force the

on the issue of federal expansion

during the reconversion period.
Members reported that anything
can happen
The committee tentatively had
laid out a program, which only
partially met recommendations of
President Truman. but some men,
bers said that a reversal of COM
mittee position was possible.
The tentative plan, which pro-
vides for use of federal money TO
extend up to 26 weeks the period
during which states pay jobleSs
insurance, was assailed as dis
criminatory and unnecessary by
some members.
"Tbe states have seven bill
lions In their unemployment
compensation funds, which
should be exhausted before any
federal money Is spent" said
Senator Byrd tD) OF Virginia.
Further, this S25-a-week
plan is an invitation TO idle
ness and might slow up the re-
conversion program"
Senator Lucas CD Of Illinois,
while favoring the original S25-
a-week proposal, nevertheless
agreed that if the St1tes want to
