Red Army Intelligence
Put Over Great Hoax

NGW6phVSE
WITH THE RUSSIAN FAR
EASTERN ARMY AT CHANG
PEI IN INNER MONGOLIA. Oct. 10
delayed } The Russians pulled
one Of the biggest hoaxes Of the
war In Manchuria that bafiied Jap
anese Army intelligence and stripped
the famous Kwantung Army of de-
fcnsive power, it was revealed for
the first time today, nearly three
months after the Jap surrender.
The Russians. according to offi-
GERS here, arranged for 'conflden-
tial" army documents to be 4seized"
by Japanese intelligence officers.
These showed that the Russian in
vaSion of Manchuria was set for
October /. Thus when Russian ar
mored forces started rolling across
Manchuria and Mongolia in the
first week Of August. they found the
Jap Kwantung Army unprepared
and the bulk of the Jap forces de-
poyed far to the rear.
This is the real story, was told,
behind the sensational Soviet ad-
vance in the Far East as a result
of which Russian forces over-rar
Manchuria and Mongolia in mat
ter of weeks.
Although the Soviet officers did
not say so, it was learned from other
sources that the Japanese were scat
tered because the Kwantung Army
was undergoing extensive reorgani-
zation after almost half the army
had been transferred to the jar
home islands to face the coming
American invasion.
The Japanese anticipated al
American invasion in Japan ant
only after that Soviet invasion
of Manchuria. The Russian con
fidential" papers apparently helped
to promote this belief.
The ease of the Soviet Armies ad
vance surprised even the most opti
mistic Russian officers. They as
serted their armored units rollet
through Mongolia at an averag
speed of 100 miles day and OF
one day hit a peak of ITO miles.

Under the plan the Navy would

80 Officers Interviewed.
Altogether, the members inter-
viewed 40 Army officers, 81 naval
officers and three Marine generals

King Censures Report.
In his statement last night, Mr..
Forrestal made public formal COM
ments by Admiral King, who termed
the report disappointing" Secre-
tary ForreStal said Admiral King S
comments, with those of other men,
bers of the joint chiefs of staff,
were attached to the report.
Admiral King, who personally ex-
pressed his opposition to the plan
before the Senate Military Commit
tee on october %, said in his formal
comment that analysis of the re-
port and of the transcripts of tes-
timony of the various officers in
terviewed reveals what I consider
lack of objectiyity."
The subcommittee report declared
enabling legislation for the crea-
ton of a single department should
be enacted without delay and that
overall reorganization should be
effected by direction Of the Presi-
dent not later than six months after
the end of the war"
26 Studies Made.
1t observed that since the last
war, 26 reorganization studies had
been made without results. AS a
result. when World War II involved
the United States "the Army and
Navy were far apart in their think
ing and planning"
Because each knew so little of
the capabilities and limitations of
the other, adequate mutual under
standing which is so essential to
unity of effort was lacking to an
alarming degree" the report as
serted. Moreover, the War and
Navy Departments were organized
along cumbersome and inefficient
lines which hindered rather than
facilitated cooperation"
After three years of war, the spe-
cial committee observed that even
in areas where unity of command
had been established, complete inte-
grafton of effort had not yet beer
achieved, because we were still
struggling with inconsistencies, lack
of understanding, jealousies ano
Implications which exist in al
theaters of operations"

advantages of having separate Wal
and Navy Departments, three sep
arate departments to give the Ali
Force equal status, or single de-
partment integrating the services

IN MEMORY

It is with a sad feeling send the
obituary of my Dear Husband, Dali
lis ]. Huggins, who passed to the
great beyond, May %, 1945. He was
Sc years, 4 months and II days old.
He had been i'll for is months. The
second week of his illness he made
his confession of Christ to the Rev.
E. w. Shaw, pastor of Ebenezer
Methodist Church. He trusted all
things to God, even his affliction.
But by the grace Of God he burn
ed down his candle of life, as one
gone to sleep. All was done for him
that helping hands could do, but
God saw fit to call him home. Two
days before he passed away he was
living in a beautiful world.
All that can do is to look tc
Jesus; he alone has the healing
balm, and turn in the Sunshine OF
his grace, to wait with patience un-
til the Lord calls me home. Yes soor
or late I will hear the blessed invi-
tation to the kingdom Of God that
was prepared for me before the
foundation of the world. Where there
win be no pain, sorrow, or parting
with love ones; where all Is love
and peace.
Funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. E. w. Shaw. His body
was laid to rest in Central Cemetery
He was called from home one
morning lust at the break of dav
called to meet his dear Savior, who
had prepared his way.
Some sweet day I'll meet him, be-
yond this veil of tears; There will
be no more parting, but peaceful
endless years.

Mrs. Alma Huggins.

Before the scissors are turned
loose on the goods, check the fit oi
the paper pattern carefully-and
alter it if necessary.
Clothing specialists of the U. S
Department Of Agriculture explain
that many women have figure ir.
regularities which require changes
in either pattern or basted dress for
perfect fit. The easier way is to
alter the pattern.
Altering the pattern also often
saves fabric in cutting. For example,
when the figure is shorter than
average, shorten the pattern before
cutting out. With present textile
shortages, avoiding all possible
waste OF material is important.
For any home sewer who usually
has to make many changes in pat
terms, well fitting basic pattern is
an important time and energy saver
because it saves taking SO many
measurements on each pattern.
To make basic pattern, the
clothing specialists recommend Sc
lecting q simple shirtwaist style
with plain skirt-a six-gored slir,
Is easy to fit and make. Then make
it up In muslin or other inexpensive
cloth. After altering the muslin un.

the pieces flat, and cut a paper pat.

in checking lines and proportions o.
other patterns. It is good idea t.
make new basic pattern each year
