1t was reported that other ex-
detrimental stations had been found
at Harthausen, near Linz in Aus
tria about 20 miles east of Kauf-
beuren. Smaller stations were dis
covered at Grafeneck, Wuettem-
berg and Guensburg in Bavaria.
Among the children found alive

1t is customary when prominent

There is no party designation. Ac-

Jap Terms Prepared

New York, July A - (U.P) - The Magazine Business Week said today that President Truman took detailed statement of surrender terms for Japan to the Big Three meeting at Potsdam.
 Teh Magazine said that "top American naval officials now see the possibility of early equalization by Japan, and it is to encourage such a equalization and to invite the Japanese people to put pressure be- hind it - that this move is being made"
 The terms have the support of the Navy Department and its sponsors believe that they are not a depar- ture from unconditional surrender, the Magazine said. The next step in defining surrender will be taken either by MT. Truman. Churchill and Stalin. or by Truman alone when he returns to Washington, the magazine said.

Bus, Airline TroveI Moy
 Be Reduced
By ANN HICKS
United Press Staff Correspondent

tUnited Press stan COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, July 24 4- CUP) A move to cut civilian travel on buses and airlines was under conSidera- tion today as means of furnish ing more transportation for Army redeployment.
 The proposed cut is still in the discussion stage. But it nevertheless raised a sharp new threat for civil ianS who still entertain hopes of a vacation the sharp reduction in railway space for military pur- poses. Seek Other Means
 Director J. Monroe Johnson of the Office of Defense Transporta- tion revealed the possible new travel curbs yesterday during testimony before the Senate War Investigat- ing committee. He said he was working with the Army in an effort to work out program whereby airlines and buses, like the rail- roads, would do their share in the troop redeployment program.
 The government has taken over more than half of all Pullman sleep CTS for Army use and has made other cars subject to withdrawal from regular service without notice when Army needs dictate.
 Johnson was called before the Senate Committee again today to continue explaining why he believes the Army is responsible for the jammed condition of the railroads. He said yesterday that the ODT was unable to take appropriate steps because the War Department kept him in the dark on its re- deployment plans.
 This situation still exists, he said, despite the fact that the committee protested to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson through the of- flee of War Mobilization.

Jap Drive
 At Kiongsi

Chungking, July N.-(UP)-Jap- anese forces have taken the offen- sive in Kiangsi province in an ap- parent effort to relieve pressure on embattled Kweilin. 260 miles to the southwest. A Chinese communique announced today enemy troops have swept to the Kan river.
 The communique said Japanese troops have captured Waan, Is miles east of Suichwan (33 miles south west of Nanchang) and were driv- ing on Taiho, 25 miles north of Waan, when they were intercepted by fighting Chinese troops.
 Seek to Split Chinese
 Japanese troops in this slash- ing drive may have hoped to force the Chinese high command to with- draw some of its troops from those assaulting Kweilin's perimeter.
 However, the communique also announced that Chinese forces pov?ding the outer defenses Of K @ lin, former great American esr- base city and capital of Kwangsi province. had reached within three miles of Lingchwan, IS miles north east of Kweilin, and were bombard- ing the town.
 R. R. Demolished
 The railway leading into Linz- chwan has been demolished and at least eight boxcars destroyed.
 Chinese troops. operating behind the enemy lines. have captured three points nine or ten miles northeast Of Suichwan.
 Other Chinese units have inter- eepted a Japanese force driving east along the highway from Lilins. 50 miles southeast Of Changsha, toward an area 90 miles to the north.

By HERMAN SMITH United Press Staff COrresDOndent)

Potsdam, July 24-(UP)-The big three conference will recess tomor- row to learn the outcome of Brit aims elections, to be announced Thursday, but President Truman and Premier Stalin will continue their talks next week regardless of who wins the British race. it was learned authoritatively today.
 The British announced officially today that Churchill was going to London for the Thursday election results, but added the Berlin con- ference" would not end.
 Resume Friday
 Churchill plans to leave Wednes- day for London and if he wins the election he is expected to return by Friday when the big three will re- sume it's meetings.
 British Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden and Labor Leader Clem- ent Atlee will return with Churchill. There was a wide belief in British circles that if Churchill is licked Eden will return to Potsdam as For eign Secretary, but Atlee will re- main in London dealing with his new duties as Prime Minister.
 Rumor Unfounded
 Official sources in Potsdam de- clared there was no foundation for the recently circulated report that part of the American delegation has already left Berlin and that another section was leaving soon for a new and surprising destination.
 These sources said that there had been a number of "low-level depart ures and arrivals" but none of inn portance.
 While all indications pointed toward the conference continuing into next week, it was conceivable that a Churhcill defeat would cause a drastic shortening of the meetings.
 Thus the British political situa- tion was having a tremendous in- fluence on the big three's decisions, particularly at this time when it was understood that a number of top decisions have yet to be made.
 It was inconceivable, however, that MT. Truman and Stalin did not foresee this situation when they were preparing for the conference and equally inconceivable that they

 Books May Be BoWIes

Washington, July 24-(UP)-Pr1ce Chief Chester Bowles announced to- day that 150,000,000 copies of War Ration Book Five-which he hopes will be OPA's last-will be distrib- uted between Dec. 3 and IS.
 At the same time, he said, 23,000,- 900 motorists will get new "A" gas- oline books, the third edition since gas rationing began.
 The agency hopes, Bowles said, these will be the last of the war time ration series and that there will be plenty of stamps in them We won't have to use"
 Year Or More Duration
 Bowles said Book Five was de- signed to serve for 10 to Is months because Tt looks as if a ration book will be needed at least through most of next year." He said the sup ply agencies-the Department ot Agriculture and War Production Board-had informed OPA that meats and fats, canned goods, sugar and shoes "all will be in tight sup ply for some months to come.'
 Bowles described Book Five as smaller than a dollar bill' and as much of a delight to housewives eyes as a ration book can be. He said the stamps are the same size as in Book Four but the number and letter combination is out"
 Teachers Participate
 Both Book Five and the "A" gaso- line books will be handed out by school teachers in public buildings throughout the country.
