RECONVERSTON:
Pace Ouickens

Breathless trying to keep up with
relaxation of unending wartime con-
trolls, the nation contemplated early
removal of meat, tire and shoe ra-
tioning, even as the government re-
moved restrictions on industry to
permit full-steam ahead on recon-
version.
Following previous announce
ment that the government had
abolished packer set-asides on beef,
veal and ham supplies for the army
and other federal agencies, an early
end OF rationing was expected with
OPA's revelation that it would re-
duce meat point values in view Of
military cutbacks in orders and
prospective heavy fall run of cattle.
With the announcement that tire
production would be doubled to A.
100000 monthly during October,
November and December, unoffi-
cial predictions that rationing of
cords would be terminated within 80
days were strengthened.
Forecasts that shoe rationing also
may be ended shortly were sup
ported by an announcement of the
Tanners Council of America that
production of civilian footwear may
exceed 100000 pair a month for
the rest of the year, the highest
level ever reached by the industry.
BY looping off most controls and
only retaining authority to assure
military and other emergency pro-
duction, and break bottlenecks in

SKIN TREATMENT:
For afflicted Vets

Establishment of eight centers
specializing in the treatment of
tropical skin disease was announced
by Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk, sur
geon general of the army. with the
centers devoted to the care of men
returned from overseas, particularly
the Pacific areas.
At the same time the army said
that there is no basis for fear Of
tropical skin infections spreading in
this country because practically
none of these diseases are conta-
gious and no patient with a trans
Missile skin disease would be
allowed out of an army hospital un-
til he was noninfectious.
Skin diseases have grown into a
problem as the number Of men fight
ing in the Pacific has increased, and
army dermatologists have learned
that diseases which are considered
minor in the United States flare UP
into more serious conditions in trop-
ical climates. Army doctors are u.s.
ing many preventive measures and
methods of treatment in combat
ing skin diseases and those who
cannot be cured overseas are sent
home.
Areas like New Guinea have long
been recognized as heavily infect
ed with numerous skin diseases.
Prewar reports, for instance,
showed that IL per cent of hospital
admissions of non-natives there in
1889 and 1910 were due to skin con-
ditions, while SO per cent Of ma
tive admissions showed infections.

the Germans in Norway as the
state presented an avalanche Of evil
dence purporting to show that he
had co-operated closely with the
Nazis in their heavy-handed occu-
patton Of the country.
Quisling was first taken back by
state presentation of repeatedly cap
tured German documents stating
that the Nazis had used information
supplied by him in their invasion of
Norway. The collaborationist also
was shaken by charges that he had
turned over to the Germans a COM
munist leader blocking his political
program and also denied reprieve
to an official sentenced to death for
refusal to force Norwegian girls to
work for the Nazis.
Throughout the trial, Quisling de-
family asserted that he had played
with Naziism in an effort to prevent
British establishment of bases in
Norway in 1910 and possible inva-
sion of the Scandinavian peninsula
by Russia from the north and Ger
many from. the south to thwart the
move. He also claimed to have
worked fervently from 1918 for the
creation Of German, British and
Scandinavian bloc to arrest the de-
velopment of Communism in Eu-
rope.

PACIFIC:
Ask Bases

Taking realistic view of the Pa
cific situation, in which the U. S.
looms as the greatest power. the
house naval affairs committee de-
manded that this country be given
control over both Allied and former
Japanese bases for the construc-
ton of powerful defensive system
capable of resisting attack from any
direction.
Issued by Chairman Vinson
(Dem., CAD the congressional
proposal urged U. S. domination of
the whole Pacific area stretching
from the Hawaiians westward to the
Philippines and Ryulsus, and in

oped bases in the Manus islands in
the Australian Adrniralties; Guadal-
canal in the British. Solomons; Es-
piritu Santo in the British-French
New Hebrides and Nournea in

In the first full admission Of the
intensity of Allied air attacks, the
japanese news agency Domei re-
ported that a. of the nations 200 or
more cities were almost completely

JAPAN:
York. Out Occupation

W W fD--~|U OACNkICtVGOV
It's huge guns belching smoke
and fire and bombarding the Nip
ponese coastline just few weeks
ago, the huge $4,000 ton U. S. battle
ship Missouri was to become the
peace ship of World War II, with the
japanese formally signing surrender
papers aboard the vessel in Tokyo
bay.
Taking place several days after
U. S. air5orne troops were to de-
scend on the Atsugi airdrome south
west OF Tokyo to spearhead the jap
anese occupation along with ma
rines Landing simultaneously at the
YollaSuka naval base 20 miles be-
low the Nipponese capital, the for
NAL surrender ceremony was to
see General Macarthur signing for
the Allies as a whole, with Adj
miral Ninlitz countersigning for the
u. S. and Admiral Fraser for the
British.
In working out the initial occupa-
ton plans, General Macarthur and
his staff left no, stone unturned to
assure the safe conduct of the
u. S. forces. At the same time, the
new Nipponese government headed
by Prince Higashi Kuni strove
to prepare the population to accept
the American landings peaceably
and refrain from riotous outbreaks,
imperiling the whole surrender.
Under General MacArthur's plans,
the Japanese were ordered to ground
all planes and disarm all ships at
sea several days before the first
U. S. landings. Then, while sprawl
ing Allied fleets moved in close to-
Nipponese shores, the Japanese
were to immobilize all vessels in
Tokyo bay and strip coastal guns;
and anti-aircraft batteries.
AS a final precaution, the Japa-.
nese were ordered to evacuate all
armed forces out of the Immediate
landing area, to forestall possible at,
tack by fanatical troops. Guides and
interpreters were to be furnished to
facilitate General MacArthur's con-
troll of the occupation territory.
Even before the formal surren-
der signing, Japanese troops strung
over all of the vast Pacific battle
front, obediently observing the En-
peror's orders, laid down their
arms. While stable japanese forces
in Manchuria and China gave up the
fight, the first of 10000 by-passed
Nipponese in the Marshall and
Caroline islands capitulated. The
japanese commander in Bougain-
vile in the Solomons arranged for
surrender while enemy soldiers in
the Philippines, defying their field
officers, negotiated to quit.
