Washington, D. c. (ACS)-Ser- vicemen who have been saving to set up shop for themselves after the war will get first crack at buy ing surplus war goods. These will include the CTS pet, the jeep. For a period of IS days after any goods are declared surplus they will be for sale exclusively to eligible vet erans for use in their work. To qualify, the vet must be in farm ing or business, or going into busi- ness, with at least half interest in the enterprise.
 Value of surplus property any ex-GI can buy under this set-up is limited to $25OO. The Smaller War Plants Corporations, which has re- gional offices in principal cities throughout the country, will act as agent.
 One point is emphasized by SWPC officials. Goods purchased under these closed market condi- tions are not to be used for resale or refabrication. For example, a

 Use of the atom bomb and Sov jet Russia's entrance into the war on the side of the Allies were the final blows that broke Japan. The bomb was used again-against Nagasaki, once more it left mo- thing in the wake but ruin. The Red Army then plunged across the Siberian border into Jap-held Man churia.
 The second World War ended August IA with Japan's uncondi, tional surrender. Formalities still remain-the official signing Of surrender and proclamation of VI Day. .-.. ......:.

Vets I'm Business To Get First Call
 When Surplus War Goods Go On Sale

vet cannot buy up shell castings with a view to fashioning them into cocktail shakers for sale; and if he buys a jeep on this "GI mar ket" it must be for use in his farm or business.
 After the vets have had their chance to buy for their own use, there will be a 12-day period dur ing which the surplus properties will be for sale to local govern ments and tax-free institutions. Then what's left goes on the open market for purchase by anybody for any purpose.
 In the case of jeeps, after the 3O-day exclusive period, they will be made available to automobile dealers for resale through regular trade channels.
 "Jeeps will not be reconditioned by the government" an SWPC executive stated. They'll be sold as is, where is." Prices will be list ed as surplus properties go up for sale.

all-weather, 2-lane Ledo road to connect with the old Burma road in Northern Burma. The foot sol- diers cleaned the Japs out of the jungles and the service troops fol- | lowed close on their heels with | bulldozers and road building equip ment.
 British and native Indian troops 1 also played a big part in the vic tory by smashing a Jap invasion of Eastern India in March, 1943. The British, under Adm. Mount
 batten, then opened an offensive of their own which drove the Japs out of Burma.
 1 The Chinese, too, were getting their wind back. Switching from superb defensive tactics to their first great offensive of the war, they freed Foochow of the enemy and pushed the invader back in Southwestern China. Contributing to the successful Chinese drive were Allied service troops, engin- eers, airborne troops, and infantry instructors as well as the fighters and bombers commanded by Mai. Gen. Claire M. Chennault and the airmen who flew the hump with supplies for China's armies. In 1914 and '45 the U. s. had enough punch left over from it's invasion of France and Germany to rain it's biggest blows-thus far on Japan. The blows came from 3 directions-land, sea and air. First came a sea victory, in which the American Navy supple mented by Australian units, crush ed the Jap fleet, opening the gates to the Philippines and almost eli minating Japan as a sea power. Our ships, including supply yes sells, became virtually free to roam the Western Pacific and our am- phibious units were freed of the danger of attack by enemy surface craft.
 On land we took Saipan and Guam, then moved into the trop- ical Philippines, sulphurous Two Jima and volcanic Okinawa. From the air our B-29s blasted the Jap home islands, reducing the home cities to flame, rubble, and dust Our fleet invaded the Jap home waters, blasted the homeland with sea-going artillery, unleashed plan es to wreak further havoc.
 Stripped of her sea and air pow CT, the Jap answer to this steady assault was unrestricted use of the wierdest, most macabre weap- on of the war-Kamakaze. This suicide fleet of Jap planes dove with maniacal fury at the decks of our ships in a desperate, frenzied attempt to match the sting of a bee against the laundering power of a stampeding herd of elephants. The battle for Okinawa-most strategically important of the en- tire war-was marked by 2 majcc events. Halfway through it Presi~ dent Roosevelt died. Four weeks later Germany surrendered.
 After the unconditional surren- der of Germany, the U. s. really turned on the juice in the Pacific, Okinawa fell. Our air and fleet at tacks on Japan's home islands were intensified and then-on Aug ] 5-the most deadly weapon ever devised by man was brought into use to KO Japan. The first atomic bomb fell on the Jap city of Hiro
 shima and-when the smoke had cleared away-most of that city

Peace is a lovely word! It con- jures up pictures of home and family, return to "civvies" and pre-war jobs. Now for the Sweat ing period'' before those things are really ours. That's the period when many of you will turn to the Base Library for information and relax ation. In the next issue of the BEAM this column will bring you suggestions for vocational reading in the meantime, let's relax! We suggest the following titles:
 LIKE WHIMSY? F*
 Some people do, some don't! F,r those who do we can think of no more enchanting a story than that of MT. Winner, the man who can talk with animals. Robert Lawson has written about him in "Mr. Will mer," recently added to the Base Library shelves. MT. Winner, clerk in the SAFE, SANE and COLLOS- SAL INSURANCE COMPANY. was a Caspar Milquetoast type of fellow, but the new experience (e. g. distinctly hearing the police mans horse refer to the policeman as "big- bull-necked- -ham-faced overbearing bully, stupid-selfish- heavy-bottomed brute!'') changed his entire life. Suddenly he became Prominent Figure, in demand everywhere as animal interpreter, lecturer, writer, endorser of com mercial products, and expert on animal problems. Neither lion, nor giraffe, nor pekinese will ever for get Mr. Wilmer-and neither will you!
 LIKE HILTON?
 "So Well Remembered" by James Hilton, is the first novel in four and a half years to come from the pen of the author of Good Bye MT. Chips" and Random Harvest" The period of the novel is both before and during the Sec ond World War; the scene is chief ly a small industrial town in the British Midlands. The main char acter is George Boswell, whose mistakes, idealism, human failties, courage, warm affections and nev- erfailing humor make him one of the most appealing characters MT Hilton has drawn. It is also the story of Livia, George Boswell's young wife, and her sinister influ ence over three men of clashing wills. Readers will take sides about George and Livia, and we grant that you will not soon forget them or their story. MT. Hilton does not write as copiously as some, but al ways with care, warmth, and a real story to tell. "So We'll Remem- bered" is a worthy and long-await- ed successor to his other books.

was casting eyes at Australia ;
 Driven from the Philippines af- ter heroic resistance on Bataap and Corregidor, the U. s. Army, under Gen. MacArthur-establish ed headquarters of the Southwest Pacific Theater at, Australia, and started to gird for the long road back. ::s
 It was heartbreaking, back breaking fight. Driven to a corner of the Pacific, woefully short of men and supplies, hemmed in on all sides by a powerful foe, we could only peck at the enemy ous posts, defend ourselves from his fury.
 Our start was modest. While arming our right hand for great blow at Germany in North Africa, we parried with our left at the Jap. On Jan. 31, 1922, we staged d hit-and run attack on the Jap-held islands in the Marshalls and Gil berts. Other Jap bases were, Tn their turn, given attention by the U. s. Navy. And on April IS, Tok- yo itself was raided by carrier based aircraft under the command of L/Gen Jimmy Doolittle, the first of numberless raids which were destined to lay in shambles the great cities of Japan. @:.
 Later in the year, the mounting strength of our forces became ev- ident in 6 big actions:
 1, The battle of the Coral Sea, May AS.
 2. The battle of Midway, June 3-6.
 3. The invasion of Guadalcanal Aug. z.
 4. The establishment of bases in the Andreanofs.
 5. The halting of the Jap offen- sive against Port Moresby in New Guinea and our counterattacks through the mountain jungles Of the Owen Stanley Mountains a. gainst Buna and Coma.
 6. The Battle of Savo Island Aug 8-9) and other Naval ac- tions which resulted in heavy loss es to the Jap fleet.
 By the beginning of 1943 the in- itial advantage which Japan had gained in the war from her sur prise attack, advance preparations and concentrations of force had be- gun to level off. The United Ma tions-although still fighting with but one hand-now began to pour more men and materiel into the Pacific for a limited counter-of fensive. We were beating the Ger mans and holding the Jap.
 On Jan. 10, 1943, U. s. troops on Guadalcanal renewed their of fensive and 13 days later that is land, first invaded by marines, fell to our forces.
 In June, the Allies opened an Of fensive in New Georgia, and Bou- gainville was invaded Oct. 25. In November, Marine and Army for ces landed on Maxim and Tarawa. Other Jap-held bases in the Pacl- fife were, by this time, taking a daily pasting from the air.
 Meanwhile, we were on the move again in the China-Burma-1ndia Theater. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwel., who, by his own admission "took a hell of a licking" from the Japs in their conquest of Burma, was ready for another punch at the foe. Service troops, principally American, and foot soldiers, main ly Chinese, together accomplished one of the great construction feats of all time-the building of the

Christian principles of morality,
which he sought to apply to in

Haw Haw Fails in Move
To Avoid Standing Trial

LONDON. Sept. II. William
Joyce, Lord Haw Haw" of the Ger
man radio, failed today to get out
of standing trial for high treason
by a plea that he never was a Brit
ish subject.
After his counsel contended there
was no case to 60 to the jury, JUS
tice Tucker, sitting in Old Bailey,
ruled:
There is some evidence which, if
uncontradicted, would entitle the
jury to come to the conclusion that
this man is a British subject"
The argument arose when the
prosecution closed the crowns case
against Joyce, whom it accused of
broadcasting German propaganda
to England with such fervor that
Adolf Hitler awarded him the
Crown of War Merit, First Glass.
Sir Hartley Shawcross, the at
torney general, and two assistant
prosecutors required only half a
day to present their case, after
Joyce pleaded innocent at the.
