SPEEDY KAY0
 OF JAPANESE
 PROPHEC|zED
BY DEAN w. DITTMER

Washington, June a. (UP)-Army Chief of Staff Gen. George c. Marshall has promised speedy knockout of the Japanese with a force of firepower and men more overwhelming than that defeated Germany, it was' re- vealed today.
 Marshall warned that men and supplies must be avail able to carry out additional operations" not immediately foreseen. For example," he said, we have the great imponderable at the moment as to whether or not Russia will enter the war with Ja- pan. That presents something for us to consider in our approach to final victory in the Pacific"
 Closed Hearing
 Marshall's promise was made at a closed Iearing of the House ap- propriations committee which to- day approved spending $38, 500, ,000,- 900 to enable the War Department to deliver it's share of the victory punch.
 This figure-for the fiscal year beginning July includes s21 ,376,- 100000 in new appropriations. It is $586, ,0OO, 900 less than the budget estimate and & total of @, 692, ,000,- 900 less than the amount provided for the current year ending June 30.
 Tn making the recommendation the committee warned against "op- tisnistic errors of judgment" and pointed to a statement by Marshall that it would be a costly mistake, hideous injustice to our men in the Pacific, to relax now in optimistic estimates of the situation"
 Marshall said that all men and equipment possible to throw into the fray would be used in the Pacific.
 T might say our policy for the conduct of the war in the Pacific, as the War Department projects it. is not only to have enough to defeat Japan in the end but to employ all the forces we can engage to bring the war to a quick conclusion" he | declared
 Economy in lives and materiel, as we'll as the psychology of the American people, demand that we mount a swift, powerful offensive forcing a victory at the earliest (Continued on Page 4)

 Fresh Concern
 Japan also betrayed fresh con- cern over the intentions of two American task forces in the south- ern Ryukus.
 A Tokyo broadcast said the two forces, including five or six aircraft carriers and four battleships, were still active" near the SakaShima Islands southwest of Okinawa, but gave no details. The task forces appeared near the Saklshlmas Tuesday.
 Earlier Tokyo broadcasts said 100 American transports were anchored southwest of Okinawa and specu- lated that the Americans were con- templating a landing an Amaml no miles to the north of Japan itself.
 Radio Tokyo said the inhabitants of Kyushu, southernmost of the Japanese home islands, were pre- pared for invasion and were cer- tain that the Americans intend 70 land there.
 "The spirit of the special attack (suicide) corps is thoroughly m- stilled in the hearts of the entlre people of Kyushu," Kuichiro To- z,1ka, superintendent of the 1slano' was quoted as saying.

Boston, June 22-(UP)-CongresS was urged today in a resolution ap- proved by the New England council directors to relax Selective Service laws so as to increase the num- Der of young scientists and en- gineers.
 The resolution adopted by the councils research committee at its 18th quarterly meeting here, con- tended that the present administra- ton of the Selective Service act is creating a dearth of such young Americans.

Cornell and a jury of six men and six women. Present ln- dications are that the rebuttal test imony of the state and defense will take at least week and may go well into a second week.
 The defense. which examined 19 witnesses, rested it's casc shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the prosecution called five po- lice officers as rebuttal witnesses before the court adjourned until D. m. today.

night to pace the field in the Texas
AAU met. Previously he had won
the State schoolboy title with 90.
Samuels is undefeated for the
season and in the AAU triumph
beat Andy Shurr, University of
Texas ace, and other collegians and
ex-collegians. He also tied the Ma
tional AAU record set by Frank
Wykoff of Southern California in
1881. And his 9.5 was as fast as
Parker ever turned in.

Here is indictment number three,
which we did not have space enough
20 develop last week.
8. Blandford is guilty of poor
administrative judgment in
the handling of MIA.
And here are the facts.
The Texas region of the Nation
al Housing Agency experienced a
little over year ago a demand
from certain whites in the area that
a low-cost housing development
built for Negroes be turned over
to whites. That project was in
Texarkana, only a few miles from
New Boston.
Preston Wright, a Southerner,
was than the MIA regional di-
rector. He showed an understand
ing the problem as it had to
be handled in Texas. He handled
it, despite the weight of pressures
brought against him and against
the national office. He did not fear
to be firm with his fellow-Southern-
ers.
During this time Joseph P. Tufts
was regional director for MIA in
Kansas City. Tufts is a former
resident Of Pittsburgh. He had
been brought up in an atmosphere
where men were men, the color of
their skins having no bearing upon
the question. He built reputation
in northern areas for a sense of
fairness, and justice. In such sur
roundings and left to his own de-
cisions, he could be depended upon
to make them fearless.
During this same time, there had
developed on the West Coast a tense
situation created by the heavy influx
of Negroes into California and
