Is Over, but Flyers
Continue Missions
By the Associated Press.


MANILA, Aug. 11.-Gen MacAr-
thur, assigned the role of leading
the United States Army against
Japan, told cheering servicemen and
women today he hoped This is the
end of the war"-but his headquar-
ters promptly announced the war
goes on and the Far East Air Forces
keep right on flying.
Headquarters soberly emphasized
scheduled missions are being car
ried out, which recently began
pounding Southern Japan from
bases on Okinawa.
Il hope from the bottom of my
heart that this is the end of the
war" the general said from the
balcony of his Office to soldiers and
WACS who had been celebrating in
the streets the news Japan has Of
fered to surrender.
IF it is. it is due largely to your
own splendid efforts. Very shortly,
I hope, we will all be going home" "
Then he returned to his Office
from which he had emerged to make
his brief remarks shortly after ar
irving this morning.

loss of American lives might result
at time when peace may be near.
Today's communique, covering air
actions only through Thursday, re-
ported raids by more than go Lib
orators, 100 Thunderbolts and $50

perished, headquarters said.
The only communique reference

shima exploded in the air. This
might account for the greater dam
age done at Hiroshima.
Another possibility, suggested by
Gen. Spaatz, was the geography OF
Nagasaki, where the 253 900 popu-
lation live in irregularly-shaped dis
tricts reaching up low valleys from
the sea and along the Urakami
River.
Destruction nevertheless was gi-
gantic. Gen. Spaatz said in a press
release that the pictures showed go
OF a square mile of the built-up area
OF the city had been destroyed. This
was about so per cent of the total
built-up area of 3.3 square miles.
The area Of destruction was on
both sides Of the Urakami River,
which was the heavy industrial dis
trict. for length of miles and a
maximum width of Z of a mile, and
also included the district along the
east coast Of Nagasaki Bay.

at the council meeting and I think
We will be all right"
Mr.. Green said that although the
no-strike pledge will terminate au-
tomatically on VI day so far as the
AFL is concerned, that does not
mean that the labor organization
plans to discard all restraint on its
members. He said the AFL would
use the pledge in aiding orderly re-
conversion.
The AFL chief was asked at a
news conference whether he thought
Emperor Hirohito should be allowed
to remain at the head Of the jap
anese government.
I'VE cannot dictate to any people
their form of government" he re-
piled. If the people of Japan wish
to continue that form of government
I suppose they should be allowed to.
The other propositions of the Pots
dam terms should be carried out
rigidly."
No Strike Pledge.
With reference to termination of
labor's no-strike pledge, Mr.. Green
said: Il would not interpret it
rigidly. We can't forsee at this
moment how long the Government
war agencies will last, such as the
War Labor Board, the War Produc-
ton Board and the War Manpower
Commission" Mr.. Green explained
that he did not mean to imply that
the no-strike pledge should be kept
until the last war agency was liqui-
dated.
I'VE do say that the services of
these Government agencies should
be ended as soon after hostilities
cease as possible" he said. TT is
altogether possible that OPA, for ex-
ample, will last longer. vi day will
not mean an automatic ending of
restraint on strikes. We will call on
our people to continue collective dis
cipline. We will concentrate our
efforts to settle differences through
peaceful means"
Mr.. Green would not ce.Nment on
the proposal of Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan for a
management-labor peace conference
until the Executive Council had dis
cussed it and adopts policy to-
ward it.
On the prospect for sudden end
of the war, Mr.. Green commented
that the Government had done very
little to prepare the Nations econ
omy for it and nov we will be face
to face with that situation"

MICHIGAN, N. Oak, Aug. H.
Military, railroad and Government
officials today sought the identity Of
more than half of the "a person.
known to have been killed Thursday
night as the two sections of the
Great Northern's Chicago-to-Seattls
Empire Builder collided near here.
Maj. W. H. Murray, Fort Smelling
Mimi, executive officer, said burns
suffered by the majority of the Il
servicemen who perished made iden-
tiflcation difficult. In some cases
bodies were so mangled that identi-
ties could be established only par
tally from scattered papers, Maj
Murray added.
Only six of the dear mad been
positively identified. fhere were

Officials Head for Scene.
FL. Gavin, Great Northern presi-
dent, and C. o. jerks, vice president
in charge of operation, left st. Paul
for the wreck scene last night in
efforts to speed the work of identi-
fication. Current redeployment of
troops added to difficulties, military
men said, in that victims had not
yet been assigned to permanent
posts on return to this country, with
resultant confusion in locating rela-
tives.
Bodies resting at the Graham
mortuary, Lakota, N. OAK, included
nine Servicemen, three service
women, one male civilian, four
women and child.
In Devils Lake, N. Oak, the Gill
bertson mortuary held five service
men, two male civilians, woman
and two small girls, while the
Toomey mortuary was caring for
the bodies of three servicemen and
two civilian women.
John Cameron, division superin-
tendent for the railroad, said 34th
and as yet unidentified body re-
mained in the tangled steel wreck
age but could not be reached until
the shell of the observation car, into
which the locomotive OF the sec
ond section plowed, was removed to-
day.
Halted to Fix HOtbOx.
The first section engine had halted
to remedy hotbox on its tender
when the crash occurred, accord
ing to c. w. Moore, Great North
ern Railway official. The impact left
the steel shell Of the combination
sleeper observation car over the
locomotive Of the following train as
a tent.
Furnishings, berths and their oc-
cupants were pressed into a mar
row space at the front of the ILL
fated car by the head end of the
speeding locomotive, whose boilers
exploded as the impact brought it to
q halt.
1t. F. B. Moore, Fort Smelling
public relations officer, said he ex-
pected names of the servicemen
dead would be available today.
