Budget Plans


For the past ten years Morri-
sons, well known women's ready to
wear store, located at 7th and Min
nesota Streets, has sold its mer-
chandise strictly on a cash basis,
yet giving quality goods for low
ceiling prices, but now an entirely
new policy has been established for
the convenience of the rapidly in
creasing number of patrons.
The new policy is, charge &C
counts and budget system to make
it easier for the working class to
buy their clothes and pay for them
while they earn.
While establishing this new
policy, Morrisons will continue to
sell high quality merchandise at
the same low price.
The credit arrangements are
strictly confidential and ones past
credit rating, although it may be
unfavorable, is not held against
them and does not prevent them
from opening a charge account.

ARKANSAS TEACHERS CASE
Continued from Page u
large number of dispositions and
exhibits had been introduced into
the records from other teachers. In
answer to the contention made by
Mr.. House that "Mr. Marshall, who
is well experienced in such cases,
asked long and involved questions
of witnesses that tended to confuse
the issues" Mr.. Booker told the
court about the cross examination
that he, not Mr.. Marshall, had made
of Mr.. Williams, a member of the
school board and of the damaging
admissions made by the witness.
All Teachers Get Raises
Mr.. Booker mentioned the fact
that after the suit had been filed
that the salaries of all teachers,
white and Negro, had been raised,
but that in some cases, the differ
entail was even greater than be-
fore. He told the Court about a
rating sheet" that had been work
ed out with three classifcations
and that later there appeared a
composite rating sheet with five
classifications. On this sheet,
strangely enough, the racial iden-
tity of the teacher was not men
toned and it is interesting to note
that no Negro teachers were listed
in the first classification and one or
two in the second classification and
no white teachers were classified
below the third classification. Mr..
Booker smilingly said that he was
glad to see that Counsel for the
appellee is finally seeing some light
in the matter" And indeed he
must have for Mr.. House agreed
with Mr.. Marshall that the differ
entail made in the matter of So for
white teachers and $1.50 for Negro
teachers in the bonus plan per unit,
was wrong. Mr.. House stated that
Mr.. Scoobey, the superintendent of
schools of Little Rock, saw that
there were some adjustments"
that needed to be made in the
matter of salaries and that he has
set out to make those adjustments.

EOR the first time in her 2,605
i years of recorded and myth
ical history, Japan is to feel the
tread of a conqueror. Japan sig
nified her intention to surrender
August 10, but Allied forces, which
often blasted Nippon from offshore
or above, had yet to move in on the
sacred SOIL"
The historic point at which tri-
umphant Americans will first set foot
on Japan is at Atsugi, 81 miles south
west of Tokyo. They will be airborne
troops landed from a huge cover of
protective aircraft The airborne
landings will be followed by warship
and transport landings at Yokosuka,
huge naval base at the mouth of
Tokyo Bay.
By Friday, at the latest, Gen. Doug
las M a Arth hur will arrive at
Tokyo to accept the unconditional
surrender of Emperor Hirohito, his
realm and 100000 people. The en-
peror will be permitted to remain on
the throne but only as long as he
obeys commands of Macarthur, su-
preme Allied commander.
Saving Face
Since August 10, when the Japanese
first announced their desire to sur
render, the fanatic little men of Nip
pom had indulged in stalling, equivo-
eating, delaying to save face and per-
haps to lay the groundwork for con-
tinuation of the militaristic system
embodied in the Bushei Code, the
Samurai and the Zuibatsu.

WTl&nC 1nLO one OF LQe WOSL tragic
and bitter roles ever enacted by a
high U. S. officer. It fell to his lot as
U. S. commander in the Philippines
to surrender the remnants of Amer
lean forces to the Japanese on May
6, 1912.
Bataan had fallen a month earlier
and survivors had crossed the two
mile channel to the island fortress of
Corregidor for gallant but hopeless
stand. Wainwright had taken COM
mand in March, 1912, when Gen.
% Macarthur was ordered to Australia
to become supreme Allied commander
of the southwest Pacific.
Gen. Wainwrights defense of Cor
regidor was praised by the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt as "the living symbol
of our war aims"
Like many another high ranking
prisoner, Gen. Wainwright had been
moved secretly from camp to camp.
Early this year he was transferred
from Formosa to desolate Sian, more
than 100 miles northeast of Mukden.
Dropping of the humanitarian air
borne teams brought protests from
the japanese general staff who
claimed such action endangered
smooth cessation of hostilities" and
requested no more incidents occur.
Born in Walla Walla, WASH, VAIN
wright was graduated from West
Point in 1906 as a second lieutenant in
the cavalry. He received the tempo
rary rank of lieutenant general when
he succeeded Gen. Macarthur. His
permanent rank is major general.
Reported liberated in prison
camp near Peiping, China, was Col.
James P. S. Devereux, commander Of
Marines on Wake Island. Col. Dever-
eux's wife and mother died during his
Imprisonment.

anese professed "great embarrass-
ment'' at their inability to comply
because of the scarcity of time
allowed" But the foes planes did
have time to attack American ships
and bases.
The Japanese delegation of 16
hitherto unknown officers finally ar
rived in Manila to receive Is pages of
detailed surrender instructions. Mean
while the government at home was
prattling that perhaps it would be
unable to restrain its armies "un-
defeated in the field" from rash acts
on Occupation Day.
The grim-faced Japanese delegates,
ignored by Macarthur personally,
were instructed that Macarthur
would be in Tokyo within 10 days to
direct signing of the formal surrender
documents.
Weather that might hold up ship
landings was the only variable factor
in the timing of formal surrender,
Macarthur said.
In Japan's formal surrender,
America will have the final answer to
Pearl Harbor. Japan's fate for years
to come will be in the hands of
stern but just military government.
Whether militarism is dead in
Japan and whether the nation, which
IA years ago in Manchuria started
the aggression which set the world
ablaze, can be easily re-educated and
rehabilitated are questions that only
time can answer. They appear bigger
and tougher problems in Japan than
in Germany.

Atomic Bomb
Complete Havoc

Further testimony of the awesome
destructiveness of the atomic bomb
came from the Japanese themselves,
IS clamor rose from U. S. and Brit
ish clergynen and educators that the
revolutionary bomb be outlawed as
"too atrocious for humanity"
Radio Tokyo said HNagasaki pie
lures showed "the center of the once
thriving city turned into vast dev-
astation with nothing left but rubble
as far as the eye could see." A Sec
ond picture showed "the tragic scene
10 miles away from the center of the
bomb hit where farmhouses were
either crushed or their roofs torn off,"
A group of "a U. S. clergymen and
educators asked President Truman to
discontinue Immediately production
of the atomic bomb Its reckless and
irresponsible employment against an
already beaten foe will have to re-
ceive judgment before God and the
conscience Of humankind" they
charged. 1T has our unmitigated con-
demnation. {. -"
In London, the Very Rev. c. c.
Thicknesse, dean of Saint Albans, re-
fused to hold w Day Thanksgiving
services. He told mass meeting that
the atomic bomb "has brought ces-
sation of hostilities but I tremble to
think how unreal peace and how
short it is likely to be-"
Military authorities predicted the
atomic bomb had made its last ap-
pearance in this war. They said there
was no foreseeable reason for its use
during MacArthur's occupation Of
Japan.

either Idle or cut to skeleton crews
of technicians and researchers.
There was a pent-up buying de-
mand for peacetime products. To be
among the first to crack that market
was the goal of hundreds of manu-
facturers, large and small. The Amer
can system of free enterprise was 60
ing all-out-this time for peace.
Government Cooperation
This drive for civilian production
was getting all possible government
aid. Congressional committees and war
agencies slashed red tape and war;
time restrictions to help industry re-
tool for peace.
The War Production Board swept
aside 21O Individual controls and acted
to free materials needed in manufac-
ture of the products. All limitation
was lifted on the number of radios,
refrigerators, domestic stoves, electric
fans, trucks, metal furniture, washers,
oil burners, machine tools, storage
batteries and Photographic film.
WPB said it was reviewing the re-
naming 130 wartime industrial con-
trolls and predicted that many would
be abolished within days.
WPB said manufacturers had agreed
to produce the same ratio of low-cost
goods as in prewar years to avoid
price imitation and glutted market
levels. Unless that promise was kept.
WPB warned, it was prepared to
clamp down with controls.
Island Bases
Amid fast, swirling problems of
reconversion, the nation studied
with generally approving eye rec
concentrations of the House Naval
Affairs Committee for U.S control
of island bases to keep the Pacific
pacific in the future.
Many of the islands were bought
with American blood.
The State Department conceivably
will be asked to acquire guarantees
stronger than "gentlemen's agree
rnents" for use of bases on islands
held by our Allies. That strategic
islands will be taken from Japan is
practically foregone conclusion.
If the committee recommendations
are followed, U. S. defense lines in
the Pacific will include major fleet
bases at Pearl Harbor, Guam, Saipan,
1lillo, Manus and Noumea; secondary
bases in the Midways, Okinawa, Subic
Bay in the Philippines and in the
Palau Islands.

LEND LEASE: War Colossus

that almost that sum is tied up in un-
delivered lend-lease supplies abroad.
All outstanding contracts were can
celled for lend-lease except where "it
proved in the interests of the us. to
complete them"
Low Interest
Foreign countries, if they wish to
continue trade with the U.S., may OBJ
tain loans through the Export-Import
Bank over 30-year period at 23s per
cent interest.
The international Bank, projected
under the Breton Woods agreements,
will have credit resources of $9,100,-
100000, but it probably will not go
into operation in less than a year.
