The w ashingt ion
 Merry Go Round
4 By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active
 service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-The State De- partment is now going to the ex- treme length of arresting news papermen who expose the back stage bungling of our diplomats. Woodrow Wilson, who championed open covenants openly arrived at, once said:
 We do not need less criticism, but more It is hoped that criticism will be constructive, but better un- fair criticism than autocratic re- pression. Honesty and competency require no shield of secrecy"
 This columnist, who believes that the people who fought this war have right to know what our government is doing to prevent an- other war, will continue to turn the spotlight on the mistakes and the successes, the connivings and the conniptions of American dip- lomacy-despite State Department threats of jail.
 And because it was the most im- portant diplomatic convention since President Truman took office, in fact one of the most important of the year, this column publishes today a factual summary of the talks between President Truman Foreign Minister Molotov, Foreign Secretary Eden and Secretary of State Stettinius when the Soviet envoy arrived in this country en route to San Francisco.
 Their talks, though in no way sensational, are important to the American public's understanding of our complicated relations with Russia. And if this be something for which the State Department wants to impose jail sentence, this columnist is ready to test the case in any court.

Campaign in Final Stages Aussies Make Big Ad-

Japans reluctant parliament has authorized rule by Imperial De- cree and formation of a spear yielding civilian army in answer to the American "all-out offensive" to end the Okinawa campaign on Nippon's doorstep and almost un- opposed Australian advances in Borneo.
 Chinese dispatches claimed the capture of the little coastal city of Pingyang but reported series of unexpected reverses on three south- ern sectors.
 Tokyo reported the unbroken American air attack on the home islands as carried into the sixth consecutive day with TO Superforts laying mines, Liberators making their debut over the sacred land" and 40 fighters sweeping southern air fields.

His confident statement was made in an air-borne offer to the Japanese general to negotiate surrender. The offer was ignored.

LOOK HARD FOR
SNAKES IN OKINAWA

I've mentioned before about our
fear of snakes before we got. here.
AL the booklets and literature
given us ahead Of time about Okin-
ava dwelt ct length on snakes.
They told us there we're three kinds
Of poisonous adders.
Well, I've kept a close watch and
made a lot Of inquiries. And the
result is that in the central part
Of Okinawa where we've been there
are just practically no snakes at
all.
Our troops have walked, poked,
sprawled and slept on nearly every
square yard of the ground. And in
my regiment, for one, they have
seen only two snakes.
One was found dead. The other
was killed by battalion surgeon,
coiled into a gallon glass jar and
sent to the regimental command

u. S. Builds Up Strength

Before I came into the field, sew.
eral marine officers asked me to
try to sense just what the marine
spirit is, just what causes it, and
keeps It alive.
In peacetirne when the marine
corps was q small outfit, with its
campaigns highlighted, and every
body was q volunteer, you could
understand why marines felt %
superior.
But since the war the marine
corps has grown into hundreds Of
thousands Of men. It has been d.
luted. 50 to speak. Today 1t Is an
outfit of ordinary people-some big,
some little, some even draftees. It
has changed, in fact, until marines
look exactly like a company Of
soldiers in Europe.
Yet that marine corps spirit still
remains. I never did find out what
perpetuates 1t. They're not neces-
sarily better trained. They're no
better equipped and often not as
well supplied as other troops. But
marine still considers himself
better soldier than anybody else,
even though nine-tenths Of them
don't want to be soldiers at all.
The marines are very cognizant
OF the terrible casualties they've
taken in this Pacific war. They're
even proud of that too, In q way.
Any argument among marine units
Is settled by which has had the
greatest casualties.
Many of them even envisioned
the end of the marine corps at
Okinawa. If the marine divisions
had been beaten up here as they
were on Two Jinna, the boys felt
1t would have been difficult 10 find
enough men of marine corps cal
iber to reconstitute all the divi-
sionS.
They even had o sadly sardonic
song about their approach to Oki-
nawa, the theme of which was,
"Good-by, Marines!"

This island has everything we
could want in such an island. There
Is plenty of room for fnnre air.
fields, room for roads and vast
supply dumps and anchorages for
ships. And the civilians from whom
we had expected trouble are docile
and harmless.
OF course, Japan's vast land ar
mics are still almost intact. But
II it does come to the great mass
land warfare Of continental Europe,
we now are able TO build up
strength for that warfare right on
the scene.
There is fighting spirit among
us. People are conjecturing about
the possibility of the Pacific war
ending sooner than we had ever
allowed ourselves to think.
For years it looked endless, but
now you hear people talk about be-
ing home by Christmas. Some real
ly believe they will. Others have
their fingers crossed, but they are
more hopeful than ever before.
Instead of a war WEAKNESS, there
seems to be a new eagerncss amcng
our forces to sweep on and on, and
with the thing up in a hurry.
The bulk of the battle of Okin-
ava is being fought by the army
my old friends. the doughfoots.
This time the marines had 1t easy,
and by the turn of circumstance
the army is the one that has the
Job to do.
But my self-assignment on the
Okinawa blitz was to write about
the marines and that's what con.
tinue to do. I landed with the ma
rines, crossed the island with them,
and have been living with them
amidst fleas, mosquitoes. goats and
a few Japs, hiding under bushes.
So naturally want to tell you
about them.
Marine corps blitzes out here
have all been so bitter and the
marines have performed so magni-
ficently that I had conjured UP a
mental picture of a marine that
bore a close resemblance to q man
from Mars. I was almost afraid
Of them myself.
FINDS MARINES
HUMAN, AFTER ALL
I did find the marines confident,
but neither cocky nor smart alecky.
I found they have fears, and
qualms, and hatred for war the
same as anybody else. They want to
60 home just as badly as any SOL
diers I've ever met. I found them
good, human Americans.
They are proud to be marines.
They wouldn't be in any other
branch Of the service. Yet they are
not arrogant about 1t. And I found
they have a healthy respect for the
infantry.
One day we were sitting on a hill
side talking about the infantry.
One marine spoke of a certain army
divisions division they had fought
beside-and was singing It's praises.
TITS as good as any marine di-
vision" he said.
What was that you said?" q lis.
tener cut in.
The marine repeated 1t and en-
phasized 1t q little. Another marine
stood UP and called out, loudly:
did you hear what he said? This
guy says there's an army division
as good as any marine division. He
must be crazy. Haw, haw. hawl"
And yet other boys chimed In,
arguing very soberly, and sided
with the one who had praised the
army division.

RAILS HEAD RISE
in MARKET SALES

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-tR-1n one
of the slowest sessions of the past
year, stock market leaders gener-
ally tilted upward today under
leadership of rails,
While little if any inspiration
was found in the Potsdam Con-
ference report, buyers seemed a
bit more confident on the basis
of earnings, dividends, refundings
and lessening of reconversion ap-
prehension. Exceptional timidity of
demand was attributed to the fact
that another lengthy weekend in
tervened during which it was real
lied anything could happen. Posi-
bility of war developments here
and there.
Carriers improved after hest
tant opening. While many pivotals
were neglected, gains of fractions
to two points predominated at the
close. Transfers of $4,000 shares
compared with 100000 Thursday
and we're the smallest for 5-hour
stretch since September 10, last.
The Associated Press 6O-stock
average was up 3 of a point at
64.7. The market again lacked
breadth, only ISL issues appearing.
Of these, 4O1 advanced, 100 de-
clined and ITO were unchanged.
Rails had the benefit of further
debt reduction plans announced
by Southern Pacific. This roads
common held a gain of 7-8 at 40
IL.
Prominent in the plus column
were Santa Fe, Southern Railway,
MKT preferred, Great Northern
U. S. Steel, General Motors, Crab
am-Paige, Hupp Motors, Ameri-
can Telephone, Radio Corp, U. S.
Rubber, Montgomery Ward, Boe-
ing, Douglas Aircraft, General
Electric, Dupont and Philip
Morris
Among losers were Electric
Power and Light, Union Carbide,
Allied Chemical, In national
Nickel, Chesapeake and Ohio and
Dome Mines.
Railway bonds did better. At
Chicago wheat was up 718 to l IA
cents a bushel and rye l 3-8 to
2 So. Cotton gained Is to IS cents
bale.
Pepperell, an odd-lot curb mem
Der, rose five points on a split-up
proposal. Higher were Feeders
Mfg, American Gas, United Stores
and Barium Steel. Turnover here
was 100000 shares against 100000
