Boon Seen IN
Slow Change
For arners

Washington, Sept. 11-AP-- A
delay of at least four months in
declaring the war officially at an
end could be a multi-million dollar
boon to farmers.
1t also would give them until
1919 to adjust their war-expanded
production of food products to pros
pective smaller peacetime require
ments.
Early in the war Congress passed
a law directing the Agriculture De-
partment to support farm prices at
not less than 90 per cent OF parity
for two-year period after the war.
Under terms of that law, the two
year period does not begin until
the first day of January after the
President, by proclamation. or the
Congress, by resolution. declares
the war ended.
Hence, should the war be declar-
ed Officially over before next Janu.
airy |, farm price supports would
cover 1916 and 1947. On the other
hand, should official end OF the
conflict be delayed until some time
in 1916, the government would be
committed to support farm COM
modities for a three-year period
ending Jan. l, 1919.
This latter course appeared the
more likely. President Truman in
his message to Congress last week
emphasized that "the time has not
yet arrived" to proclaim the war
ended.
Agriculture Department econom-
lists have estimated that it may cost
the government more than $1,000
100000 a year to carry out the farm
price support program.
Continuance of the 90 per cent
parity support program through
1915 could be expected to do mucn
toward keeping farm prices from

Toto Bo1us Self Out With Bullet
Turns to Gun
as Arrest Is
Ordered
CBy the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
Tokyo, Sept. 1t-AP - Hideki
TOTO, the Japanese wartime premier
who ordered the treaeherous Pearl
Hsrbor attack, shot himself today
as General MaeArthur's operatives
knocked at his door to arrest him
but American blood transfuslons
tonight had given him q "5o-5o
chance" for life.
Nearly three hours after the
shooting, however, he remained
alive-although he probably was
not conscious of the fight his form.
er enemies were making to save
him.
Toto, shaven-headed razor brain"
OF Japan's milltarist clique, had
identified himself through a win
dow as American officers neared;
then, lacking time for the cere-
monial knives which he had pre-
pared, used pistol on himself.
A Domei broadcast from Tokyo
today quoted former Premier Hi
dki Toto as saying after he shot
himself:
81 am sorry for the peoples Of
greater East Asia. | will shoulder
the whole responsibility. | hope
they will not go amiss in dealing
with the situation. The war OF
Greater East Asia was a just war.
With all our strength gone, we fin
ally fell. | did not want to stanu
before the victor to be tried as the
vanquished. This is my own case.
| wanted to kill myself at one
stroke. I first thought OF using
my sword to kill myself. but in
stead ! used the revolver for fear
| might fail and revive"
Domei said TOTO asked for water
at the close OF his words and. with
the glass at his lips, murmured:
81 feel fine"
TOTO shot himself near the heart
as American counterintelligence Of
ficers accompanied by correspond
ents went TO his suburban home to
take him TO General MacArthur's
headquarters for questioning.
A japanese doctor. who was call
ed promptly, said that TOTO was
dying--that nothing would save
his life.
Then two American doctors were
summoned. promptly gave him a
pint of American blood plasma. and
said he had a $3.50 chance for
life. which he mumbled he did not
want
The American doctor in charge
OF the battle to save the suicidal
former premier was Capt. James
Johnson of Newark, Ohio.
The Japanese doctor who vas
summoned refused to treat TOTO,
saying he had no instruments with
him and asking why he was called.
Toto. in stupor. also refused
treatment from the japanese doctor.
The American doctor then was led
in.
TOTO has been portrayed as the
most hated man in Japan since the
loss OF the war, although he once
was immensely popular.
Captain Johnson. said the Japan
csc warmakers' chances for recov-
cry depended on whether the bull
let had passed through the lining
of the heart or had just missed it.
Toto was in such critical condition
that this could not be determined.
He has what johnson described
as a sucking chest wound. He
bled profusely. Johnson gave him
morphine in addition to the trans
fusion and prepared to move him
as soon as possible to the 9Sth U. S.
Army evacuation hospital.
Plasma. not whole blood was
used. but Johnson said whole blood
would be needed 10 save Tojo's life.
TOTO was sufficiently conscious to
