SHIPMENTS OF
 LEND-lEA5E TO
 RUSSIA STOPPED

SEATTLE, Aug. 20-Shipments of Lend-Lease materials to the Soviet Union from the Puget Sound area were halted today under directions from the War Shipping Adminis- tration Pacific Coast Director at San Francisco.
 Exception was made for four Russian vessels on berth on the area the day of Japan's capitula- tion last Tuesday. VISA officials here said these ships would com plete loading of cargo, but that future shipments to Russia will not be on Lend-Lease account and will be charged to the Soviet Union.
 The directive does not apply to British vessels, none of which are loading in this area, but it covers the repair of ships at Lend-Lease expense.

Fish Food Factories Are
 posiWar Possibilities:
 One Under Construction

SEATTLE, Aug. 20.-Fish food factories sailing the seven seas-or at least some of them--and deliver ing by air are postwar possibility.
 One of these plants. planned for operation in the Pacific, is under construction at Bellingham, Wash, and may get into operation in Octo- Der. It will be equipped with quick freeze units for storing packaged filets, a cannery. facilities for pro- cessing scrap and trash fish into meal and cil and for extraction of Vitamin A oil.
 In summer it would operate in the Eering sea on Salmon, Shad, king crab, cts, in winter it would cruise the South Pacific for tuna and other filet fish. The South Pacific is re- latively unknown as a fishing ground Federal fisheries experts say.
 The floating cannery is not new. Processing plants were operated in the Boring sea by both the Russians and the Japanese before the war, but their floating factories were not 50 complete as the U. s. experiment. Aboard the U. $. ship will be at least one government technician, primar- fly as an observer, but also as an advisor. .
 We are very much interested in the project government fisheries expert said. We want to find out if it is commercially feasible; we would like to know more about fish ing possibilities in distant waters, especially in the South Pacific where there has been little exploration. We would like to see similar project established in the North Atlantic.
 Careful preparation of the by-pro- ducts, he thought, might make the difference between profit and loss on the venture. The quick process ing of freshly caught fish he said. would preserve a flavor to which the public probably will respond. He said the Fish and Wildlife Service is hopeful that air transport of fresh fish at moderate shipping rates also soon will be possible. Wayne Uni versity, he said, has been cooperat- ing in experiments along these lines and transcontinental air shipments of oysters, crabs, Holsters and salmon have been made.
 Tt might not be too hard" he said, ito develop market for this fresh caught seafood at a premium.

CHINESE KEEP ON
 WEARING
Government Troops Strike Swiftly, Move on Mon-
 go|ian Province

CHUNGKING, Aug. 20-Reliable reports today said Gen. Yeh Si- shans regular Chinese forces had clashed with Chinese Communists near Taiyuan, Japanese-occupied capital of Shansi Province in North China.
 The Communists were said to have seized the air field near Tai yuan and then been ejected by the Regulars.
 Earlier, the high command an- nounced the re-occupation of a small town near Taiyuan, and a string of nearly a dozen other towns along the Taiyuan-Tatung Railway, chief north-south com munications in Shansi.
 cThe movement or Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's troops north ward into Shansi indicated he might be maneuvering to put his forces between Yenan, Communist seat in Shensi Province to the west, and the Chinese scaboard with it's important cities of Peiping, Tient- sin, Tsingtao, Nanking and Shang- hai)
 Dispatches to Chungking showed several National Government agen- cies already functioning in Shang- hai apparently without interfer- ence from the Japanese, pro-Chi- r5ese Government troops at Annoy, last enemy pocket in coastal Flu kian Province, had sent envoys to the Chinese lines to arrange sur render.
 Chinese Government troops Strik- ing swiftly into North China, are advancing on Paotowlin, the Inner Mongolian Province of Suiyuan, 100 miles northwest of the Shansi border and 330 miles west of Pei ping, the high command announced today.
 The development came as the Chinese awaited the arrival of sur render envoys from the Japanese Supreme Command and coincided with a warning by the Chinese Communist Commander to Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek to act swiftly to avert a grave threat of civil war between the Government and Communist forces.
 As arrangements were completed for the surrender, foreign reports said 10000 to 30,000 Communi S t Guerrillas were moving on Wuhu, Yangtze River port, possibly pre- pairing to drive 60 miles down. stream to Ranking, which is to be the new seat of Chiang's govern ment. These forces were said to be Alarmed There was no confirma- ton of these reports in Chung king, but government circles are not greatly concerned about them.

TRIAL0F QUISLING
 STARTED
Former Puppef Premier Faces Charge of Irea-
 son in Norway
By Ned NOrdness Associated Press CorrespondenD

OSLO, Aug. 20-Testimony of Hermann Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop and other high-ranking Nazis will be introduced against Vidkun Quisling, the prosecution disclosed today as the former Puppet Premier of Norway went to trial on charges of treason.
 State secutor Annaeaus Schodjt announced that Allied and Norwegian officials now are taking the testimony of the Nazi wit nesses in Germany, where the Nazi leaders themselves soon are to be tried as war criminals.
 He said that those whose testi- mony was being taken included Alfred Rosenberg, former German Minister of Affairs in eastern 'oc- cupied regions, Field Marshal Will helm Keitel and Col Gen. Gustav Jodl.
 Planned Inyastion
 Schodjt further declared in his opening statement that Quisling met Grand Admiral Eric Raeder, Germany's Naval Chief, and Rosenberg in Berlin on Dec. II, 1889, and planned the German in- vasion of Norway which took place four months later.
 Quisling met Hitler on Dec. IA and 15, 1889, Schodja charged, and also received 100000 gold marks from an anti-British company for his part in planning the invasion.
 Quisling paled perceptibly as the accusation rang out. Schodjt waved a document which he said had been found in Germany in which the entire political and military pre- parations for the action in Norway were outlined for Hitler by Rosen- berg.
 Surprise Disclosure
 The surprise disclosure came as Quisling presented 21,000-word 69-page statement detailing his own
 
 defense.
 Defiantly picturing himself as a patriot and prophet, the man whose name has become synonym for collaboration declared that Hitler has proved to be right-it is not England who has eventually won, but Bolshevism."
 England mas attained her war aim as far as beating Germany goes, but in Russia an even more dangerous continental power has arisen" Quisling declared. He de- manded rehabilitation and idemni- fication for the insults and harm he said had been heaped upon him.
 Dying Lion" Kicked
 Scornfully he told his accusers that their campaign of sabotage and resistance had played only "a negative role" in the war.
 All asses give the dying lion kick" he said.

Corporal Alex E. Anderson of 10 Pine Grove predicted the fall of Hirorito's gang. Addressing the Messenger from Camp Kanchr- apara, India an August IA, the day before that of Japan's surrender, he said "It looks like peace any day now"
 Andersen also draws an inter esting contrast of India and the New England section of the United States. He says:
 "I long to get back and get started in the contracting business again as I was before our country went to war. To build and to de- sign beautiful homes for beautiful living and Bloomfield is the city, where I want to build. It's my home, I have a lovely wife living there waiting for my return home.
 "This weather over here, the people over here, the inconven- fences over here, make all of us long for good old New England weather and landscape. One learns the value of the American way ot living by being here and witnes- sing how these poor Indians live over here. To breathe US. air, to work U. s. soil, to live III America, proves the fight was not in vain. I say was, because it looks like peace any day now and when I do get back to beautiful Bloom field I promise to visit you all the first chance"
