President Truman was SAID 10
be speeding up the conference so
that he could return 10 Washing

understood TO have surprised
Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain.
Stain and Churchill also were
said 10 be eager TO settle main
problems nn-the glehaE agenaa
and return 10 their respective
capitals.
Churchill, IL was believed, wants
20 be back in England by next
Wednesday when ballot counting
of the recent general elections
will begin. For the same reason.
labor leader Clement Attlee is
eager 10 return home.
Despite President Truman $
preoccupation with the japanese
war, there was as yet no indica-
tion that il had been dealt with
extensively by the Big Three.
The apparent absence of some
top-ranking Soviet officers from
the conference substantiated this
view.

More War Prisoners To

The War Food Administration
announced that it has been assured
by the War Department that in
Creased numbers of prisoners of
war will be available this year for
agricultural work. The WA Of
flee of Labor reported that a peak
total of $4,000 war prisoners will
be used in contract work in the
period through July as agricultural
laborers. Last year approximately
$4,000 prisoners of war were avail
able. The men will be assigned
through the nine service command
areas of the Army. The type of
farm work they engage in will be
determined by the Directors of
State Extension Services. VIA

$14,O0O,0OO,0o0 with which to

There is not much doubt about

Fortunate Americans, who es-
capped the destruction and devas-
tation of war, are being asked to
lend their Government $7,OO0,000,-
600 in safety and at good rate
of interest.
We have no doubt about the peo-
pie of this county. Undoubtedly,
we will go over the top, not only in
the total of bonds purchased but in
excess of the goals set for indi-
viduals in this county.
To do less would be a reflection,
not upon our brave soldiers, sail
ors and airmen, but upon the peo-
pie at home, who, at little risk
have safety and security through
the bravery and sacrifice of others.

>the lowest reasonable retail price"
While the State of Maryland has
had a Fair Trade Law for many
years, it was not until some two
years ago that plans were outlined
and active steps taken by the Re-
tail Gasoline Dealers Association
to secure for gasoline retailers and
service station owners the benefits
derived in other industries from
the Fair Trade Law.
The Amendment was first pres
ented in the House on January 10,
1915, by Thomas F. Dempsey, we'll
known attorney of Baltimore, and
Delegate from the Third Legis-
lative District, Baltimore City. Mr..
Dempsey has always had deep
interest in the gasoline dealer and
his problems, and Mr.. Wainwright
felt that Mr.. Dempsey could best
effectively present the benefits of
this Amendment.

Air Crews and Danger

THE COST of our aerial offensive
against Germany is seen in part
by the fact that the U. s. Eighth
Air Force, operating from Eng
land, lists 43.742 fighter pilots and
bomber crewmen as killed or miss
ingS in action.
The missing in action include
some airmen who managed to
avoid death in crashes inside Ger
many or bailed out to safety. This
factor will probably be absent in
operation against Japan because of
the. probability that the barbaric
japanese may exact reprisals upon
captured airmen.
In this connection, it is not too
early for the people of this coun-
try to make up their minds to de-
mand severe penalties against the
Japanese for the mistreatment of
captured Americans.

driven and electric alarm clocks,

whenever the large military con-
tracts they now hold are reduced
and materials and skilled labor
become available, WPB announced.

no sharp increase in the number of

in the immediate future. Produc-
ton currently is at about one-third
of the pre-war rate, estimated at

of every nation here represented

Toyko Radio Talk

THE TOKYO radio tells the peo-
pie of Japan that they have
nothing to worry about $50 long
as we maintain our correct COM
posure." This may be good advice,
but it is going to be difficult for
the Japanese people to maintain
correct composure" long before
the United States drops its last
bomb upon Japan.
It is interesting to note that the
broadcast says that Japan started
the war ION her own accord fol
her own reasons" and not with the
idea that Germany would take
sides with u.s." There seems to b,
no reason to argue about this
statement.
When the enemy radio talk.
about action ito avenge fallen Ger
many" it is spouting nonsense
None of the Japanese have any
interest in the fate of Germany
except so far as the collapse of the
Nazis permit additional strength
to be thrown against them. More
over, the prospect is that the Japa-
nese win be SO busy fighting for
their lives that they will not have
much time to think about Ger
many.

Planes Of Mercy

MORE THAN $50 heavy bomb
ers dropped food for the Dutch
population yesterday" declared
communique 1914, of Supreme Head
quarters, Allied Expeditionary
Force, issued on May 7th.
This graphically illustrates the
transition from the work of war
to the work of humanity. Many
Dutch people, cut off when the
Germans flooded the Netherlands,
face starvation and the Allied
High Command, even before the
surrender of Germany, spared no
effort to deliver food by air to the
starving people.
The airplane, which proved es-
pecially destructive in the present
war, does not deserve the censure
of those who blame it for the uses
to which it has been put. The
Wright invention came, and will,
serve the interest of civilization in
peace, as well as in war.

War Bonds To Insure
Postwar Improvements
By T. p. SYM0NS,
Dean and Director
Maryland Erten$ion Sei.Dice

Probably no class of people can
utilize War Bonds to better advan-
tage than those who operate the
farms of the nation. By almost
superhuman efforts they have met
the challenge of producing food in
unprecedented quantities. In so
doing, and because of shortage of
labor and restrictions on materials,
maintenance and improvements on
farms and rural homes have had
to be postponed. As a result, there
is a tremendous potential need and
there is the corresponding desire
on the part of rural people for
the things which will make their
homes more comfortable and at
tractive and their efforts more
efficient.
With the increased income from
wartime conditions, the funds can
be accumulated for the time when
the things needed and desired can
be obtained. War Bonds afford an
ideal form in which to invest the
funds for postwar improvements.
In that form they help in the war
effort. They do not compete and
tend to initiate the prices of things
which are in short supply at this
time. There is every prospect that
they will buy more in the postwar
period than can be purchased with
them now.

Nazis To Pay Penalties
FROM FOUR TO SIX million


Germans will pay penalties for
Nazi war atrocities, including the
concentration camps, mistreat-
ment of slave labor, enforced pros
titution and the planned starvation
of helpless people, according to
press reports from London.
While there is an excellent chance
that some of the top-fiight NaEis
may be executed, the probability
is that the punishment of most of
the vast number Of Nazis will take
the form Of enforced labor. This
conclusion may be erroneous, how
ever, because the demand for Ger
man labor to restore what German
soldiers looted and wrecked is JUS
tilted upon the basis of restitution
rather than punishment.
Certainly, if the War Crimes
Commission Of the United Nations
secures evidence to pin guilt upon
individual Nazis for heinous
crimes perpetrated upon innocent
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1945-05-24

peoples, the guilty should not es-
cape by the relatively easy con-
tribution of labor.
When the trials begin and the
terms are meted out, there will
arise in this country something of
a campaign to secure mercy for
guilty Nazis. While there will be
good Americans misled by their in
depreciation of religious teachings,
the bulk Of those speaking for the
Nazis viii not be motivated by
conscience. They viii be more
concerned about their German
friends than they were with the
victims of Nazi Germany. They
will not condemn the guilty Ger
mans now because they did not
condemn their crimes. t

the hours OF labor that automobile
repair establishments may charge
for in computing prices for Sc
common passenger car repair jobs,

The repair jobs covered range all
the way from minor brake ad-
justment to the complicated job Of
installing the crank shaft and
bearings. All shops are required to
