 Here we saw boxes of miniature carvings, ivory ohopsticks, dolls, hairornaments and fans, Other stores featured lacquer ware much Of it apparently Q wartime production lacking in the quality of pre-war luxury export.
 While every servioeman m Japan probably is interested in buying Q kimono, he is finding the task difficult and expensive. The slim wartime supplies are being eX- hausted and increased production will take some time to satisfy the demand,
 m Tokyo, where stocks are much lower than such cities as kyoto and Nara, merchants say that brooches are the most popular ar- tlcle being purchased. This is pron- ably due to the lack Of other suit able souvenirs, since the brooch is not among the typical articles of Japan. Servicemen are also buying colored prints.
 But in the cities damaged by bomhings, in general the service men are finding Q shortage ot sou- Venirs of the type associated with Japan. Until the nations art inc dustries get rolling, this condition will continue, and despite oil plana for expanding their export, it ap- pears there will be some lapse in time before Japan's art objects ore on the foreign markets.

 At first blush it seemed you were tearing down in c tearing hurry, Ma'aIfl, and that is always unwise, assure you. A reducing regimen should be not only rational physi- oiogicai, practical and easy to fol. low, but, if it is to be successful t must tend to bulld.up general health, vitality, well being, yite and never impair or destroy health. The test of Q reducing regimen ls just this: It should leave the individual not just six, sixteen or slyty pounds lighter in weight but feeling and looking better and actually iittei than at any time while carrying handicap.

MANILA, July 19.-Australian in- fantry advances on both sides of the vital oil island of Borneo were re- ported today by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's headquarters.
 In western Borneo, the Ausies oc- cupied Marudi south of the Miri oil center without opposition. Gains around Balikpapan Bay on the East Coast frightened their grip on that important refinery and oil shipping harbor
 U. s. Seventh Fleet units, whose return to the battle of eastern Bor- neo was announced this morning, swung into action with a destroyer and smaller units shelling Tempa- doeng Point, dozen miles up the narrow twisting bay from Balik- papan port. They destroyed three gun positions and three barges.

War On Japan Topic OfBig Three Conference
The W Washington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert S. Allen now on active
 service with the Army)

WASHINGTON = The Congress- ional hullabaloo over attempts to corner tke American rye market has only scratched the surface.
 If Congress should ever dig deep enough, it will unearth one of the juiciest stories of riding the grain market the country has heard for a long time, including some of President Truman's close support CTS, chiefly Ed Pauley, former Treasurer of the Democratic Ma tional Committee.
 Other Democrats active in rye were Senator "Pappy" ODaniel of Texas, Senator Happy" Chandler of Kentucky, Attorney General Bob Kenny of California, and Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois.
 Senator Lucas was chiefly en- gagged in trying to lift transpor- tation restrictions so the Chicago boys could unload their tremendous quantities of rye. Chandler and Kenny were let ill on the deal through their friend, Ed Pauley. Their profits were relatively small, Chandler making less than $100.
 They were stowaways compared with the really big operators, Gen. eral Foods, owned in part by Mrs. Joe Davies, wife of Roosevelt's for mer Ambassador to Belgium and Russia. General Foods, after buy ing 89 per cent of all the deliver able supply of rye and being. stuck with It, then performed a beauti- ful salesmanship job in persuading the Belgian Government to take a million bushels off it's hands--paid for by U. $. taxpayers through lend-icases # bs
 The Department of Agriculture has now ordered hearing on the earlier rye gyrations of General Foods. However, no hearing has yet been ordered on more recent developments, including the opera tions of Democratic bigwig Ed Pauley and the glamorous sales manship by which a million bush els of rye were unloaded on the Belgians
 One other interesting point is why the War Production Board ordered oistillers to use 10 per cent rye in making grain alcohol. Ob- viously this helped the General Food boys get rid of their vast rye hoard

Military Officials Not Dis.
 turbed by Flood of . Rumors s,.
By John M. Hightower

Associated Press Dipi0maIic News EditOr)
 WASHINGTON, July 19.-Army and Navy leaders are planning for the war against Japan to run at least until the last months of 1946.
 This is the blunt truth, as of today, despite a flood of rumors in Wash ington that some significant de- velopment is imminent in the Pacific conflict.
 Military leaders. assuming that the Japanese will fight to the bitter end, also. are planning cleanup campaigns in China. although what happens there specifically depends on Russia
 If Russia comes into the war fairly soon-a development chiefs of staff at Berlin could plan--the wes- tern Allies may have very little fight ing to do on the Asiastic mainland.
 The military plans here-disclosed by both Army and Navy officials of unquestioned authority but Ranonymous as their own request all are based on the view that the Japanese will do as the German did flight on until they are thoroughly defeated in battle.
