It was suggested to him that he
may have no troops left, and that
realism might dictate that Balkan

The former Premier asserted

months, coming out of Bosnia
when the pressure of the Russian
and other armies forced us west. "
He and his brother, Col. Gen.
Milutin Medic, former Yugoslav
minister of war, were in a hotel
room here when the premier
made his statement, in which his
brother concurred.

Frightened By Unison

WASHINGTON, May O. Up -
The Government notified it's civil
ians today they must remain in
virtually full war harness until ia
pan is beaten, but abolished i'm
mediately, the racing ban and
midnight curfew on entertainment
places.
Some reconverSion" to civilian
goods production was promised at
once by War Mobilization Director
Fred M. Vinson.
But he laid Gown the policy that
nearly all the economic controls
imposed for the two-front war
price ceilings, many manpower
and production controls = should
be maintained in force until the
last shot is fired in the Pacific.
Vinson warned at a news con-
ference of a dire struggle still
ahead, predicting that Japan
would not surrender unconditional
ly without successful and COM
plete invasion" Of her homeland.
This means that "a great part"
Of the war worker force must stay
on the job and that munitions pro-
duction will finally stabilize at not
less than two-thirds of the present
huge armament rate, Vinsop stat
ed, in his first meeting with the
press since he became director Of

YANKS IN ITALY
LEAVE FOR JAPAN
Movement To Pacific War
Area Will Be Via
The United States

ROME, May g. R-Some
American combat troops already
have been transferred direct from
Italy to the Pacific war zone, Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney, commander
Of U. S. forces in the Mediter-
ranean area, disclosed today.
Only a relatively small number
of the troops in this area will be
demobilized and these probably
won't leave Italy for several
months, McNarney said in a We
Day broadcast.
Most of the soldiers in Italy, the
commander said, would be need
ed either for European occupation
assignments or for more cam
paigning in the far east.
The movement to the Pacific
theater, he said, would be via the
United States.
''F'or most of you," McNarney
told the troops Under the his COM
mand, your return to civilian life
will come only when Japan has
been utterly and finally defeated"

SOUTH PICTURED
AS SCIENCE AID
Two Areas Forecast Ia
Lead America To New
Industrial, Riches

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., May 9-lH
The South and the Pacific north
west were pictured here tonight as
leading peaceful America through
science to a new era of industrial
riches.
The forecast was made by DR..
Wilson Compton, president Of
Washington State College at the
University of North Cardinals Gel
ebration of it's 150th birthday. He
spoke at the opening Of confer
ence on research and regional well
fare. He is the brother of DR.. Karl
T. Compton, president of Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
and of DR.. Arthur H. Compton, No
bel prize winner in physics, of the
University of Chicago.
DR.. Compton said that the
South's forests alone can yield a
pulp and paper production four
tI11ICS I11C1l " CoCA41 FCAdAAASS 0AA>A
can make wood sugar equal to half
the worlds present production OF
sugar. Wood sugar makes fodder
for livestock, many plastics and
scores of basic chemicals.
1.-THE South's forests and forest
industries" he declared "can be
made to provide more employment
than was ever provided by cotton
in its hey-day. The humble pine
tree, as a successor to cotton, and
capable of producing four times as
much cellulose per acre per year,
is the South's finest richest store
house of industry and employ
ment'''.
Mines, farms and water power
he listed as the other great south
ern resources. In explaining the
scientific wealth in these sources,
he said that the south has been
living off of its resources instead
of off its ideas.

WASHINGTON, May o. Up -
President Truman today signed
into law the bill extending the Sc

it was officially announced that

The latter announcement came
from the Office of War Mobiliza-

"Deferments for men under 80
will continue to be relatively few
and will become fewer as more
veterans return to industry and
the farms"
President Truman, in signing
the draft law extension, made
plain he would have vetoed. if he
could, section forbidding the use
