WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 -
w Behind the whole tricky
dealing of the japanese TO OBJ
tain a preferred position for
their emperor lay rather con-
vincing evidence of the plot to
perpetuate-beyond our western
understanding - the Japanese
system, which brought on Pearl
Harbor.
In fact, the simplest and most
easily obtainable facts added
verification to certain high con-
gressional suspicious that main
tenance of the emperor in any
position could well give the Japs
a better nucleus upon which TO
build future world trouble than
the Nazis were able TO get.
The Truman administration
quieted these increasing con-
gresSional doub S by passing
along the inside word that Tru-
man looked upon any satisfac-
tory surrender as, in eventual
fact, unconditional-apparently
regardless of the standing Of
the emperor, as long as we held
control.
TO THE Japs, however, the
emperor is the top god in a
list reputed to run to about
500, no matter where he sits,
even if un der Mr.. Truman'S
chair.
Their established religious
theory would naturally hold that
their god was in temporary diff
ficulties in any subservient
position.
The national Jap problem
then would be TO eXtricate him,
and restore him to his rightful
position.

IF THE Nazis rejected freedom
as an ideal, be it remem-

The Nazis did not invent Sc

the police and military forces
by secret agents and the secret
denunciation of individuals by
neighborS and associates whom
they trusted as friends.
They learned all this the hard

PARADOX VALLEY
HAS URANIUM ORE
FOR ATOMIC BOMB

MONTROSE, Colo.-From under an
arid landscape of sagebrush and scrub
cedars in western Colorado comes va
nadium-the source of bombastic urani-
up, metallic element used in the manu-
facture Of the atomic bomb. The area
is called Paradox Nalley-quiet, peace
full country Of colorful sunsets and
restfu mountain views. 1t was named
by Hayden the government geologist
who mapped Colorado in l874-76. He
observed that the great flat area at the
bottom had no streams, while in the
center at right angles far below the
valley ran the Dolores river. That
makes the paradox.
The inhabitants OF the valley always
were tight-lipped in the manner of men
who live in lonely regions, but a mill
tary security program invoked by the
War department about three years ago.
and still in effect, has driven them into
absolute silence about their work The
name, uranium, was even banned from
news dispatches
Il heard once" says Coxey Of the
Montrose Press, that the small pockets
Of vanadum ore had been worked out
and asked why the mills kept on 1t
sort Of leaked out that they were work
ing over the vanadium dumps for
uranium.
THE mining slump over the valley
was from 1928 to 1885, when yanadium
came into extensive use as a steel
hardening alloy. Digging accelerated
slowly, then spurted ahead in l94O-4l
when World War II demanded more
and more strength in steel About that
time the news backout descended on
Paradox Valley and armed guards were
thrown around all plants having any
thing to do with vanadium However,
some information leaked out that ura-
MUM was being used for some war pur-
pose, but that was ALL The secret was
well kept.
The region from which uranium is
secured is one OF the most desolate in
the United States-a quiet, peaceful,
sparsely inhabited desert land, quite in
contrast to screaming shells devas-
tating congested centers Of mankind.
However, a lot Of us wondered why
