theories of war each backed up with a monumental body of listor- teal evidence - he came to the con- clusion that the trouble was in man. kind and not with the conditions or environment in which he lived.
 What the world needs is a new kind of man, not a new system, said Remains. It needs ''Men of Good will" And Remains wrote a mighty series of novels about this theme.
 Many of us will agree that Ro- mains solution is correct, as far as it goes. Certainly solutions which have involved changing the condi- tions under which man lives have been found delusive. But even if we could have a world of linen of good will," we would still not solve our problem. Men would need substan- tive wisdom to back up their good intentions-a wisdom of divine in- spiration which is the heritage of devoted Christians. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" l" goes the old saying, and to 1t we might add the intentions of men of good will.

 A spokesman for the Chase co, reported the concern can switch readily from producing war goods to civilian items. Although unerl- ployment will result during the period of readjustznent, the concern is expected to employ about the same force 1t does now. when re- conversion is finished. 1t was re- ported.

Restrictions Lifted

ameter would be enough for 10000 pairs.
 All types of clothing, including mems shorts, dresses and under wear, girdles, and children's ap- parel will be eas4er to find in stores within month. Supplies of cotton and rayon garments will be sub- stantially increased in three months, woolens in four months and both will be plentiful by Jan. l
 Other Items
 The outlook on other items is:
 Fuel Oil-Shortages would soon be over, and while some restrictions might be retained, rationing will be relaxed before winter.
 Automobiles -Rationing will con- tinue only long enough to assure that essential motorists get new cars from the 250,000 scheduled to be made in 1945. After that, every body can buy them.
 Radios-2,5Oo,00 will be produced by the end of the year, and they will be ready for civilians by Christ mas.
 Sewing machines, washing ma- chimes, vacuum cleaners and alarm clocks-will be in the stores in small quantities this fall, and alarm clocks will be plentiful month or two later. Electric irons, ranges, baby carriages, beds, mattresses, and springs will be produced on a fairly large scale by the end of the year.
 Razors, razor blades, and auto- mobile batteries-now made in suf- ficient quantities to meet demand, and little or no reconversion re- quired.
 Two More Years of Stamps
 The food picture-sugar will re- main scarce and rationing may continue for two years. Consider ably more beef next year is in prospect and an early though slight increase in pork. Butter and other dairy products will remain at about present levels. Fats and oils will f1uctuate with the general meat pie ture. Canned foods, some of which have already been removed from the ration list or dropped to low-point levels while others retained high values. will probably not be notice ably affected for some time.
 Films and incandescent lamps now being produced at capacity levels, and will be immediately available for civilians in plentiful supply as soon as military demands cease.
 Enamelware, cutlery and fiatware. and galvanized pans and pails- production now tagged for military uses will, if channeled to civilians, greatly increase supplies.
 Travel-no immediate relaxation" of bans but Q gradual step-by- step lifting of curtailments with re- strictions on sports probably first to go. An Office of Defense trans portation spokesman said the agree ments limiting baseball and football travel are voluntary" and would thus be eliminated before limita- tion orders are revoked.
 The ban on conventions, group travel and activities of travel agen- cies and on Pullman travel will be eliminated gradually. but it is "too soon to predict" when. Everything depends on the entire freight and passenger transportation picture.
 President Truman has requested the War Production Board to make "a vigorous drive" to expand pro- duction of materials. whose scarcity limits manufacture of civilian goods and to continue priorities assistance to make materials available for pro- duction of low-priced items.

 Russian gains of F to 105 miles toward the great railway hub, mill itary center and industrial city of Harbin in Central Manchuria were announced by Moscow for the past A hours.
 No Revelation
 Radio Tokyo failed to broadcast a communique on the Russo-Japanese fighting today for the first time since the conflict began Wednes- day midnight. It did announce, however, that martial law had been imposed on the Kwantung section that section of Manchuria west of Korea-to prevent 'traitorous acts" :"
 Tokyo also said a state of siege had been proclaimed in Port Arthur and Dairen, adjoining Kwantung ports at the southern tip of Liaotung Peninsula.
 Moscow did not immediately con- firm Tokyo's announcement of early yesterday that Soviet troops had invaded Korea and the Japanese half of Sakhalin island, but there was no reason to doubt that the Russians were on the move in those areas.
 Railway Attack
 Russia's second communique of the Far Eastern war last night disclosed that the Soviets had made their deepest penetration of Man churia along the Chinese eastern railway running into Harbin from the northwest.
 Plunging ahead 105 miles in "A hours, the Russians captured the defense stronghold of Hailar and drove on into the foothills of the Hsingen mountains within 370 miles of Harbin.
 Only one major defense outpost remained before Harbin, the railway city of Lungkiang tTsitishar), and that was menaced by flying col- umn striking across the desert wastes from Outer Mongolia in Lake Buirnor district in flanking move.
 The flanking column also had reached the Hsingen foothills and should thwart any Japanese att tempt to make a stand along the Great Wall of China west of Lung kiang.
 Take Fortress
 Some $50 miles northeast of Hail lar, the Russians captured the northern border fortress of Aigun and swept another 25 miles into Manchuria to within 300 miles north of Harbin.
 At the northeast corner of Man. churia, the Russians opened three new drives. One carried across the Amur river at a point 250 miles southeast of Khabarovsk and re- suited in the capture of the border city of Lopei
 Two other Soviet columns bit into the Manchurian bulge from the east, seizing Jaoho, 100 miles south of Khabarovsk, and Hulin, 200 miles south.
 Farther south, the Russians launched an attack 75 miles north- west of vladivostok against the eastern end of the Chinese Eastern railway. Advancing on a 25-mile front, they captured the border city of Tungning. nine miles inside Manchuria, and advanced another 10 miles west along the railway.
