The Germans left most of the

E RESCUED AFTER THREE, HALF YEARS
 IN PRISON EXILE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20-Am- erican Marines rescued an Aus tralian who knew nothing at all of the worlds events for three and half years.
 He is J. A. Gibson, Master of Arts in Melbourne University modern languages, who was cap tured by the Japanese at Kavieng in February, l942.
 Rescued from a Japanese prison camp, Gibson has been taken to Australia, where an Australian broadcast recorded by NEG, quoted him:
 Possibly because of my knowl- edge of languages, the Japanese did everything to make me broadcast. I refused. Then began the period of torture. At times I wished I could have died.
 T was bashed often. I was not allowed to write and I did not re- ceive single letter for the whole three years"

 ON PLANS, JAPAN
Army's Concern About Food, Shelter and Jobs
 Given Explanation

TOKYO, Sept. 20.-For the bene- fit of the folks back home who wonder why the Army is so concern ed about food, shelter and jobs for the Japanese, the man who does this kind of worrying for General Mac Arthur says the idea is to prevent riots which would make occupation a rough job.
 What causes revolution?" ask ed Col. Raymond c. Kramer of Mac Arthur's economic and scientific section, and answered himself: Tt comes when the people have gnaw- ing hunger, no place to live and no job. If we let that happen we will just be making tough situation for ourselves.
 We want a peaceful population We aren't going to feed them but its up to us to see that they get the most out of their own food factories. Bluntly, we must snap them out of their daze and get them to do normal days work"
 Japanese militarists want us to be so tough that suffering and mis- cry will spread thoughout the coun- try. That would give them a ter rifle appeal to the people in the future," he said.

 The majority needed arguments, that, since the government induced these people to take war work away from home, it ought to get them back

 Before the vote came, Mcclellan chided Congress for proceeding to encourage and promote unemploy- ment." That, he said, is the course proposed by the pending unemploy- ment compensation bill and the so- called full employment measure,

 FOR INDIA IS

BOMBAY, Sept. 20.-Disappoint- ment was reflected today in Indian press comment on Viceroy Lord Wa vell's announcement of British plans for early realization of self government in India.
 ''The announcement is one which will not enthuse the people of In- dia,' said the Bombay Chronicle. Tn fact, it will sorely disappoint them"
 The newspaper, commenting on Wavell's statement that he had been authorized to hold preliminary consultation with Provincial Assem- ply representatives, said the picture he presented "only confirms the fear that the old policies largely laid down and controlled by the re- acticnary group of permanent ser vice in India will still be pursued, and that the attainment of Indian freedom will continue to be ob- structed, if not delayed too long,"

Bad Weather Encountered Over Canada = Great
 CnCIe Route Best
By JAMES J. STREBIG IAsrociated Press Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-Beaten by a 50 to shot. It. Gen. Barney M. Giles believes the Japan-to- America nonstop run soon will be flown in both directions-and often.
 Giles led flight of three stripped down B-29s in an un- successful attempt to reach Wash ington from Sapporo, Japan, with out pause.
 The big Superfortresses had to sit down at Chicago late yesterday to take on fuel after stubborn head winds over Canada blew away their chances some 6,100 miles and 26 hours after their take-off.
 We hit weather you wouldn't hit once in 50 times" Giles said after the planes covered the re- maining 600 miles to Washington in just over two hours. s He added that the Great Circle Route over which he led the flight is the shortest one and that the United States will use it often.
 Giles disclosed that the fueling stop was more of a matter of caution than necessity One plane had 1900 gallons left of the 10000 with which it started; another had 1000 and the third 700 gallons. The B-29's use around 400 gallons an hour at fast cruising speed.
 Uncertain weather made 1t in advisable to try to squeeze home, Giles said, adding that the pro- jected nonstop flight was "prac- tical test, and not stunt"
 Gen. of the Army H. H. Arnold, Commander of the Army Air Forces, said the object was to see what could be expected from the BPS. Reason: It had gone from the drawing board directly into production and combat, without all of the usual tests given a new plane.
 The planes averaged about 23l miles an hour.

The W ashingto Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = While Mayor Roger T. Sermon has repeatedly urged the citizenry of Independ- ence, MT, to clean up the town now that it is the home of the President, there remains near the Summer White House one block of pitted dirt road which mars the neighborhood appearance. It is the only dirt street in the entire vicin- ity of the Truman home. This one block is on West Van Horn Road, between North Delaware and North Pleasant Streets. and borders the Summer White House on the north.
 Here is the paradoxical reason why it is unpaved
 Several years ago when WPA labor was plentiful at little cost, it was suggested the lone block of dirt be paved. For time it looked like sure thing, But the Wallace families (Truman's in-laws) inter vened. They objected because it would increase taxes.
 Opposition to improving the street came from the First Lady's mother, Mrs. D. w. Wallace, who actually owns the Summer White House, 219 North Delaware Street; also from George Wallace, a brother of Mrs Truman, who lives just east of the Summer White House at eos West Van Horn Road, and is a road supervisor for Jack son County; and from Frank Wal lace SO1 Van Horn Road, another brother, who is treasurer of the Waggoner- Gates Milling Company in Independence.
 The Wallace families own about one-third of the property on the south side of Van Horn Road be- tween North Delaware and North pleasant Streets and figured that
