GOOD NEWS;

 NEW RADIOS

 lion by Thanksgiving

WASHINGTON, Aug. g - New tires, nylon stockings, new radios.
 The government dropped good news about all three into American laps today.
 Government officials said mo- torists might get break on new tires within 90 days. They pre- dicted production might jump 100 per cent in the next three months. That would mean lot more tires for civilians.
 OPA officials said they thought they could hold most of the new peace time goods-when it reaches the stores again-at or near 1922 prices.
 But they have a fight on their hands. Manufacturers contend that 1945 reduction costs demand higher than 1942 prices.
 Nylon stockings may be back in circulation by Thanksgiving, or at least by Christmas. The govern ment has turned loose it's controls on nylon and rayon.
 WIPE said three and one-half million radios may be on the store shelves by Christmas. The reason An 80 per cent cut in military orders for radar and radio.

OSLO, Aug. g = Hollow checked Vidkun Quisling, fighting charges of high treason, denied today that he travelled to Copenhagen early in 1940 to meet German officials and discuss with them the Scandi- navian military situation.

OBSTACLES FACE QUICK RESUMIMG
 OF GOLD MlNING
Demobi|ized Vets Warned AQainst Postwar Pan-
 hing Ventures
By MORRIS CLEAvENGER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Want to lose your shirt?
 Then set yourself up postwar gold-panning business in the Vest ern mountains. C. E. Needham, Economic Analyst for the Bureau of Mines, guarantees that will do the job unless you're wise old sourdough.
 Reports have reached the bureau that some soldiers who trained in the West hope to pan gold for a living, when they are demobilized. The bureaus experts are against it..
 Unless a man is an experienced miner and knows where to go, he shouldn't attempt it. Needham said.
 As a matter of fact, the old estab- lished gold industry is barely strug- gling back to it's feet after it's war time shutdown, and Needham said he doubted that it again would reach it's pre- war level unless the price of the metal is boosted. Many mine operators and some Western law makers want the price raised from S35 to at least $50 an ounce. Need ham said reports from the bureau indicate that production is only a small fraction of what it was before the war.
 Lack of equipment has continued

LONDON, Aug 22-Delegates to the third UNRRA Conference have approved the controversial U. s. backed proposal to send aid to Italy and Austria with the only opposing vote coming from Yugoslavia.
 Russia previously had indicated objections to helping Italy and it was understood that the change in the Soviet position was due to a reported compromise in which aid was assured for the Ukraine and White Russia.
 Yugoslavia objected to treating Italy on the same basis as other liberated nations.

By FRED M. VINSON (Seeretary of the Treasury


 WASHINGTON = Drew Pearson has offered me his Washington Merry Co., Round column to present any subject of interest to the Treasury Departme mt and to the American People. I know of no subject of more immediate con- cern than the Treasury's campaign against tax. evasion.
 Here, in a nutshell is the situa- tion the Treasury faces:
 In 1940 there were 4,999,9 ,999 in dividual taxpayers. Today there are more than 5O,000,00O. In an effort to handle the vastly increased task of processing returns and collecting taxes the personnel of the Bureau of Internal Revenue was increased from about 22,0OO to about 50,OO0.
 With the manpower shortage the Bureau could not expect to in crease it's forces approximately with the number of taxpayers. And in many respects Bureau employees found their work increased out of proportion to the number of re- turns. Under the withholding pro- gram, a large part of the work formerly done by the taxpayer is now done in the Bureau. The pro- cessing of wartime tax relief pro- visions also threw much additional work upon the Bureau. Under these conditions the normal investigative work of the Bureau inevitably suf- fered.
 The Bureau has always proceeded upon the theory that the average

(By The Associated Press)

Tokyo's newspapers, continuing their campaign to smooth the way for American occupation, told the Japanese people today they could expect their treatment at the hands of their conquerors to re- fleet exactly the Japanese own actions.
 Stressing particularly the need for peace and order" during the in- itial period of occupation, both the Mainichi Shimbun and YOmiuri Hochi pointed out that the Ameri- cans had given no indication of riding rough-shod over Japanese feelings while enforcing the Pots- dam Declaration.
 However, Mainichi asserted, areas of occupation will be decided en- tirely by the Allies, who in making the decision will certainly take into consideration the way in which the Japanese welcome the occupa tion forces"
 Yomiuri Hochi observed that peace and order were among the chief of the Allied demands and that the manner in which the de- mand was met would determine largely whether or not Japan would be able ito lay down basis for national reconstruction"
 The editorials were quoted by the Japanese Domei News Agency in a series of broadcasts recorded by the Federal Communications Commission which also heard from Radio Tokyo that transportation in the Tokyo occupation area will be restricted between now and Sunday to facilitate the removal of Japa- nese troops from the area.

MANILA, Aug. 22-Gen Douglas Macarthur disclosed today that the Japanese already have copy of the surrender document they will be required to sign.
 He said it informs them that representatives of Australia, Can- ada, France, The Netherlands, and New Zealand will join the Big Four" in signing.
 The message was the first indi- cation that Japanese emissaries to the Manila pre-occupation confer ences had carried back to Japan the surrender document. Previous announcements had said the con- ference was limited to details per- taining to MacArthur's entry into Japan.
 Tokyo Radio, doing most of the talking, said today without Allied confirmation that Gen. Macarthur will set foot on Japan next Tues day. arriving by plane at Atsugi Airfield two days after airborne troops make their initial landing at that airfield, 20 miles southwest of Tokyo.

 them by the Legislature and with out additional compensation. Now there's machinery to carry the land
 registration law into effect.
 * # #
 To The Sentinel desk yesterday | came a resolution from the United
 Fishermen of Alaska. headquarters at Kodiak, requesting the resigna-
 tion of Senator Edward D. Coffey of the Third Division Space pre- vents running full text but down along the whereases we note the fishermen accuse Senator Coffey of neither adequately nor properly representing the Third Division in the recent legislature; has proved himself independent of and uncon- cerned with the interests, opinions and wishes of the voters and res idents of the Third; record of Ed ward Coffey as Senate President made in full knowlege as being contrary to and in defiance of the expressed wishes of the Third; by his influence and vote as Senate President insured nothing but im- poverishment of Alaskan fishermen to the advantage of the absentee ownership of Alaska resources.
 Senator Coffey, it will be recall ed is probably the first Senate President in history, at least of who officially still has his Senate in session-six months after the legislature is over. The Senate never really adjourned In case you've forgotten here's how it happened
 House had completed it's calen- dar on Thursday afternoon and Senate had over 40 bills still to consider. Among them the all i'm portant appropriation bill: the Basic Science bill of Doc Walkers which caused the first fistic bout in the history on the floor of the Alaska legislature, the workmen's compensation bill and the gradu- ated fish trap tax bill.
 Senate stalled mostly, as we re- call to avoid action on the fish trap bill, and the workmen's com pensation bill which had been pre- scented to that august body by the House. Meanwhile, the clocks were covered and the legislature went into "overtime". As we remember it, President Coffey was absent much of the day from the Senate evidently helping out on the stall

ing. I.7
 Anti-Gruening Senators tried time and time again to adjourn the Senate to avoid action on the House bills but were blocked by tie vote from some Senators who still thought the Senate should ae- eomplish some of the things il was elected to do.
 Finally, President Coffey showed up and pickering became heated over whether to adjourn or get down to business. In the midst of it President Coffey grabbed his hat and stalked from the Senate Cham Der with a I'll see you at 8 a. m." Rest of the Senate looked confused. Coffey's remarks did not state whether the Senate was recessed Or adjourned. House finally threw in the spong, and tired of waiting adjourned sine die.
 Next morning at only three Senators were in their seats and President Coffey was more than an hour late for the appointment lie udu Aldut. uIt6 OiuGI OeudLOTS eventually struggled in to bring the total to siX-less than a uuor- um. They could not transact busi- ness; could not even adjourn them selves. Finally after sitting and twiddling their collective thumbs for a time, wondering what to do about the situaEion, the six put on their hats and went home and President Coffey found himself champ of one of the most disgrace ful Senate botches in history.
 Seemed to reporters that Coffey and his henchmen of the Senate were more concerned with spiting Governor Greuning than with en- acting legislation for the people of the Territory. It's not surprising the fishermen of the Third Divis- ion want no more of it.
