copied the Presidents condition

JAPAN ENDS
my Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is.
1t was announced today
that the Senate had agreed
to the house proposal that
the selective draft law be re-
pealed as soon as the war
with Japan ends. One senator
declared that the country

form the duties necessary
after the war is over.
Comment here today was
that several years probably
will elapse before atomic en-
ergy can be harnessed for in
duStrial uses. 1t was said fur
ther that, as Il result of en-
ploylng the energy, a thou
sand things not in use now
will be produced, and that
the energy will prove a boom
to labor.
Should the war end in the
next few days, the likelihood
is that $4,000 automobiles

EUROPE:
Greatest Offensive

Their lines shattered and their

described as the greatest offensive
In history, Germany's armies Of the
east fell back for a feverish reor-
ganization in an effort to stem the
Russian tide that threatened to roll
right on to Berlin.
Although the Russians plunged
forward all along the sprawling
Polish plains, the drive of their First
Ukrainian army under Marshal
Konev on the rich industrial prov
ince Of SiTesia to the southwest con-
stituted the greatest immediate dan
ger to the Germans, with the enemy
frankly admitting its loss would seri-
ously impair their ability to continue
the war. In an effort to shore up the
Russian advance there, Heinrich
Himmler's home army was called
into action under a hail Of aerial
and artillery bombardment.
To the north Of this sector below
Warsaw, the First White Russian
army Of Marshal Zhukov speared
westward toward Pomerania, and
also threw one wing southwark In a

Gets FDR's Nod

With the game having been given
presidential approval provided it did
not interfere with the conduct Of the
war. major league baseball mag.
mates began laying plans for the
1945 season. with their chief concern
being to scrape together teams
from the dwindling manpower pool.
Although the clubs were expected
to rely again on discharged or re-
jected army personnel, their plans
were complicated by recent govern
ment regulations calling for re-ex-
animation of ATS and work or fight
orders to men under SO. Some OF
these men, however. intend to enter
essential industry and arrange for
playing ball on the outside.

Yanks Regain Initiative

AS the Russian fighting developed,
the Nazis looked with apprehension
to the west, where they feared an
other about thrust against the
Rhineland.
Regaining their balance after the
German break-through Of a month
ago, Allied forces were back knock
ing against the Nazi frontier, with
the British Second army punching
toward the Roer river along a broad
front. and the U. S. First and Third
armies whiting down the remains
of the big bulge.
AS the First and Third armies
hacked off the shoulders of the
bulge, they encountered stubborn
rear-guard action as Won Rundstedt
sought to pull his prize troops back
into the Siegfried line.
While British and American forces
exploited their initiative to the
north, the Germans maintained
pressure on the lower Alsatian
plains, throwing in tanks and in
fantry to hold the positions gained
in limited offensives while main Al
lied power was diverted to Belgium.
