cut in personal income tax that

CALLS
FOR DEDICATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. -U.D-
PRESIDENT Truman today proclaim.
ed Sunday day of prayer and ask.
ed the people to dedicate it to the
memory of those who gave their
lives to make victory possible.
He designated Aug. 10 as day
of thanksgiving for victory and Of
prayer for Gods guidance Into the
ways of peace"
In his first press conference
since Japan's surrender, he also
revealed that soon after Congress
convenes Sept. he will recon.
mend program of peacetime mill
tary training for youth. He gave no
details but cautioned against calling

Chairman David I. Walsh, D.,
Mass, of the Senate Naval Affairs
committee, said later he believed
Mr.. Truman meant to emphasize
volunteer military training through
such agencies as the National
Guard, the Naval Reserce and Re-
serve Officer Training Corps in
high schools and colleges.
Mr.. Truman indicated that the
day of prayer will be separate and
distinct from VI Day, which will
be proclaimed Off cially once Japan
has signed the surrender docu
ments.
He did not reveal when or where
the formal surrender will be com.
pleted, but he made it plain that he
does not believe VI day should be
holiday. He said he felt that
Americans will have had their vic.
tory holidays Wednesday and today
and therefore he does not envisage
VI Day itself as a day free from
work.
The chief executive meanwhile
expressed certainty that the Jap.
anese would not be able to avenge
their defeat. He made the state.

MacArthur's reply was surpris
ingly lenient for a conqueror. But
behind him was a vast array OF
Allied power such as the world
never had seen and it was obvious
he would not allow Japan to take
advantage of his tolerance and stall
for time.
Macarthur in his reply set no
new deadline for the Manila confer.
ence, evidently in recognition OF
Emperor Hirohito,S problems in
getting his firebrand warlo-ds to
accept the grim reality Of defeat.
The commander seemed bent on
letting the Japanese solve their
own problems to insure minimum
of hostilities before his occupying
armies land ON the shores OF
Nippon.
The Japanese message said it
might take as long as IL days to
make the cease fire order effective
on all the far-flung fronts.
The Japanese gave no further
reason for the inability to send
ENJOYS to Manila as Macarthur
had directed, but said the flight
would be arranged "as soon as
possible.
Unofficial observers believed the
delay indicated either that there
was trouble in Tokyo already o.
that it was expected, and the Jap.
anese wanted no trouble with the
die-hards after the occupation.
This would be consistent with
Emperor Hirohito's rescript re.
