fBy Associates Pre.sl

I TOKYO, Aug. 31.-An
official of Domei, Japanese
news agencyy said in a broad
cast today thai the war was
brought tosans abrupt end by
the use of the atomic bomb
by the American command.
That statement, he added,
was based on announce
ments made by Japanese
warlords. 1t had been said,
the broadcaster explained,
that Russia's entrance into
the war had fastened the
surrender of Japan, but, he
declared, such was not the
| case because the Japanese
high command had expected
that country to declare wal
| on Japan ever since the fal
of Germany, and that Rus
sia's declaration OF war hae
| been discounted.
| we jag ansse he'd decided.
- -1-,sle'-~ of w!rait Russia did.
to die fighting. but we could
| not fight against SO appalling
and destructive thing as fae
atomic bomb. 1t is impossible
for anybody to realize the pow
er of destructicn In an. ssiomic

il did at Hiroshima or Ma

Red Beans. Rice.
Courmets' Dish.
on Shortage List

NEW ORLEANS W.H The
second half of 1945 and much
of next year will see the cres-
cent citys gourmets with much
less o. their favorite or near
favorite dish red beans and
rice. The beans will be there,
but not the rice.
Reports that the government
will ask that the civilian trade
take another reduction in allot-
ments for the 194S-46 period
starting August will cause a
cut in the local diet of a staple
which before the war was
plentiful in this rice-growing
section.
The people of Louisiana have
long depended upon rice as an
important basic crop, since pre-
war prices of locally available
food were relatively low in the
food-price scale.
Local restaurants now report
that while maybe one day per
week has to be set aside as a
meatless day, now there is only
one day per week for red beans
and rice.

Rodents GnaW Hole
in Poultry Supply

ROMEO-Rats of the rodent
species mot the human, black
arket type) are the principal
suspects in the disappearance OF
II chickens from a farm near
New Haven, State Police OF
Romeo Post reported Wednes-
day following an investigation.
When Mrs. Mae Montgomery,
of 415l North avenue, near New
Haven, reported AZ White Rocks
and % White Leghorns missing,
troopers were puzzled when
they learned the fowl were
only a week old. They knew
that week-old chicks make poor
friers or broilers and their sus-
picions were aroused when they
noticed that some plump, full
grown hens at the Montgomery
farm were still scratching
around the yard undisturbed.
No human thief would pass up
fat hens for skinny chicks, the
investigators figured.
Unmfstakable evidence of
rats near the chicks pens LED
officers to classify the case as
apparently a raid by predatory
animals.
