MOOSE LODGE STAGE A
DOUBLE FEATURE

Saturday night celebrating the
elimination of successful mem
bership drive the Moose Lodge put
on a dinner, in which the winning
side ate chicken and the losing side
sat down to a more frugal meal
of beans. We venture to say that
this was not rigidly carried out,
but we do know that the winning
side did not wash the dishes. This
was also Ladies Night when the
ladies were guests. The chefs re-
sponsible for the serving of better
than half hundred persons were
Messrs. Joe Siebenforcher and
George Webb ably assisted by Har-
old Nelson and other members.
Before dinner the guests played
cards, and afterwards there was a
short time for dancing. Music was
furnished by Roy Mossey and Mrs.
Seth Hates
The ladies heartily applauded the
culinary efforts of the men who
made this good time possible and
for their part they say it may be re-
peated at any time.

Chief Executive Submits 1weniy-one Points
 for Legislation
INCLUDES "LIMITED"
 TAX CUTS NEXT YEAR
Endorses Full Employment Bill Higher Minimum
 Wdges-More Drafting

WASHINGTON. Sept. = Presi- dent Truman called upon Congress today to keep his war powers in force for the reconversion "em- ergency' as he laid down a 2l- point legislative program. It in- cluded limited tax cuts next year and proposals to achieve full employment.
 MT. Truman told the Legislators, assembled for their first peace time session in four years. that the war will not be over on the home front until it's economic impacts have been eased.
 Hence. he said, proposals to abolish wartime controls by de- claring the war officially at an end would lead to great confusion and chaos in government"
 The l6.000- word message, which MT Truman sent to Capitol Hill. promised q lifting of controls, one by one, as fast as possible. But it cautioned that their overall aban- dcnment would leave the Chief Executive powerless to prevent "bottlenecks, shortages of ms aerial and inflation.s
 "The time has not yet arrived the President asserted, flor the proclamation of the cessation of hcstilities. much less the termina- ton of the war. Needless to say, such proclamations will be made as soon as circumstances permit"
 Warnings Issued
 Tempering his warnings with ex- pressions of confidence, MT. Tru- man declared that prompt and vigorous Congressional and admin istration teamwork can result in an era of unprecedented prosperity.
 Discussing taxes, Mir Truman said We must reconcile ourselves to the fact that room for tax re- duction at this time is limited A total war effort cannot be liqui- dated overnight"
 He expressed hope Congress would follow the transitional bill with one to modernize the whole federal tax structure. This, he said, would encourage business incentives and expansion and stimulate con- sumer buying power.
 Other provisions of the 21-point program included a request for enactment of vast public works program, endorsement of the so- called full employment bill7 and a suggestion that Senators and Representatives raise their own salaries from the present slO,000 to $20,000 year. MT Truman said he would have recommendations later for national health program and expanded Social Security pro- gram.

 Eligible, Discharge

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. = Point discharge scores for Army officers ranging from Al to 100 depending on rank, were announced today by the War Department.
 The department estimated that approximately 25 per cent of the 100000 officers of the Army will be eligible for discharge under the sys- tenn. In addition. surplus officers for whom no suitable assignments can be found will be released re- gardless of whether they have the required point score.

 The point scores for all branches of the Army and for all officers ex- cept those above the rank of colonel follow:
 Male officers-colonel, lieutenant colonel and major, 100; captain, first lieutenant and second lieutenant, 85; warrant officer, and flight of- ficer, 80.

} D00LITTLE RAIDERS ARE
 BACK IN U. 5.
Tell of Brutality of Japs During 40 Months
 Imprisonment

WASHINGTON, Sept. G-Three of the fliers who took part in It. Gen. James Doolittles bombing raid on Tokyo, in April, 1922, have added another chapter to the story of Japanese brutality to Allied prisoners.
 The weak, thin and dazed by 40 months of imprisonment came back from the horrors of a Japanese prison camp to tell of their experiences at War Depart ment news conference.
 They are Capt. Robert L. Hite of Earth, Texas; Capt. Chase J. Neilsen of Hyrum, Utah, and Sgt. Jacob D. DeShazer of Bend, Ore.
 Hite told how he was clubbed and slapped by Japanese interro- gators during two months confine- ment in Tokyo shortly after his capture The Japanese, he said, used three-foot long bamboo poles to pound him on the head. One Japanese officer beat him con- tinuously for IS minutes.
 Nielsen and DeShazer said their expS. .s.lces were the same ard all related that the Japanese fre- quently threatened to chop off their heads. But the worst punishment was solitary confinement for all except 70 days of their stay in Japanese hands.
 All three were condemned to death after a farce trial at which they were allowed only to tell their life histories up to the time they entered the air forces. Their sen- tences later were reduced to life imprisonment by. the Japanese said, the "graciousness of the Elm Deror."

Jap Special Envoy in Wash iington at Time of Pearl
 Harbor Attack, Talks

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6-Sa- buro Kurusu, Japanese special en- voy who was discussing peace in Washington at the moment of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, was quoted today as contending that he knew nothing of the raid plans and was deeply hurt" by the Am erican accusation that he was bait for the trap.
 Frederick c. Opper, American Broadcasting Company correspond ent, also quoted Kurusu as reiter- ating:
 T did not know anything about the attack on Pearl Harbor before left Tokyo. As matter of fact, I found Prime Minister Jojo more optimistic about chances for peace than I was. I told him I thought things were very precarious in the Pacific and when I met President Roosevelt little later I told him the same thing '
 Opper, who related in broad cast from Yokohama that he in terviewed Kurusu at his home seven hours by train out of Tokyo, said the now gray and weary-looking envoy told him that on Dec. T., 194l, his appointment with Secre- tary Hull was delayed by the slow decoding of long message from Tokyo.
 When he met Hull, he received the secretary's now-famous tongue flashing and then returned to the about Pearl Harbor from the radio, he asserted.

pAA WILL FIGHT FOR
 AIR ROUTE
Roscoe Demands Main Line Between Seattle and
 Orient Via Alaska

SEATTLE, Sept. 6.Pan Ameri- can World Airways will fight all the harder for an air route to the Orient through Seattle if the Civil Aeronautics Board gives Northwest Airlines an exclusive line passing the Pacific Northwest, Jerome Ros- cCe of Pan-Ai said
 Roscoe appeared before the Pac- fife Northwest Oriental Airline com mittee yesterday and said his com pany believed ITS per cent Of the traffic to the Orient figures to go through Seattle"
 Willis Camp of United Air Lines said his company was not interest cd in "any foreign lines except as feeders" which would include a Seattle Alaska line.
 Pres. Croil Hunter of Northwest Airlines, who came here to appear before the committee today, told re- porters his company intended to fight for a main line plane route be- tween Seattle and the Orient via Alaska.
 Gov. Mon c. Wallgren, who indi- cated he would go to Washington to further the Seattle cause, said the recent record flight of an Army plane from Tokyo to Seattle via Alaska with pictures Of the surren- der indicated the importance of the route.
 Those pilots chose that route be- causes it was the fastest and best, :" said the Governor.
 Roscoe said PAA contemplated a basic passenger rate of 3.6 cents an air mile. with a one-way fare of s209 from Seattle to Tokyo. Three classes of air expres would be hauled. he said with first class express costing 65 cents pound from Seattle to Tokyo.
 He said Russian. Chinese. Dutch, Canadian and Australian planes un- dcubtedly would be flying the Pac- fife soon, most of them with govern ment subsidies.
 PAA would be in a very difficult position if not permitted to fly through Seattle to the Orient due to costlier operation, he said, adding that his company had been count ing on flying the North Pacific route since 1881. when Col. Charles Lindtergh made flight to the erient for PA.
