plane raced his engines and blinked
his landing lights last night in a

and crashed into warehouse, carry

Looking up. I saw two Navy
planes coming from east.
"One was flying without lights
and the other was racing its engine
and blinking its lights-apparently
to signal people in the streets thai
there might be trouble.
They looked like one plane, sc
the wings were probably locked.

charred almost beyond recognition,
had been identified. The names
were withheld pending notification
of next of kin.
Damage resulting from the spec
tacular crash, which touched of a
two alarm fire and brought thous-

at $4,000 by Fire Chief Henry r.

The warehouse was destroyed and
the garage, used by the Navy and

Policy on Driving Permits
OF Veterans Clarified

The Department of Vehicles and
Traffic has acted to clarity the
status of military personnel whose
driving permits expired after they
joined the armed forces.
Director William A. Van Duzer
said that under an act of Congress
service men and women are permit
ted to operate on expired permits for
80 days after their discharges, or for
six months after the end of hostili-
ties.
Permit renewals in these cases
Mr.. Van Duzer said, must be made
in person at Room 1157, Municipal
Center, 301 c street NV. Although
neither written examinations or road
tests will be required in routine
cases of renewal, applications must
be made in person so that authori-
ties may determine whether appli-
cants are physically qualified to con-
tinue driving.

Trade With j. ). Key
To Early Normally,
Jap Minister Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Sept. 22.-Chlkuhel
Nakaji jima, Japans Minister OF Com
merce and Industry and the nations S
leading aircraft manufacturer dur
ing the war, said today that Japan
must re-establish trade with the
United States before the bare essen
tials of life can be produced.
The speed with which economic
normalcy returns to Japan. he
added. depends on the volume OF
raw materials which the United
States is willing to supply He
thought Japan could get back on
it's feet in two years or five years
at the most.
List of Needs Prepared.
In an interview. Nakajlma SAID
that a list of the raw materials
Japan needs as starter-cotton.
wool. salt, oil. iron, sugar and leather
has been submitted to the head
quarters of Gen Macarthur.
The cabinet member said he would
like to begin trade Immediately with
the United States If the Allied COM
mander approved. He proposed that
Japan buy from the United States
within a year 10000 900 pounds OF
cotton. 100000 pounds of wool,
3 1000 900 metric tons of rice, 2000,-
900 tons of salt, 100000 tons of
sugar. 100000 barrels of oil and
5000 900 tons of steel
Japan also needs all the lumber
America can supply for reconstruc-
ton.
In return, he said, Japan could
export silk and gold and articles
which his nation could produce on
demand of the United States, such
as porcelain ware and lacquer goods.
L. S. Shipping Required.
If trade were resumed between the
formerly warning nations, Naka jima
said, an arrangement would have to
be made whereby Japan could i'm
port the raw materials in United
States ships, since Japan's 5,000,-
900 tons of prewar shipping has
dwindled to 420 1000 tons.
He said he did not believe his ma
ton would rearm for war, because
actually it produced only small
amount of the ingredients for wal
industry, and the United States
through a close check on inporta
ton of raw materials. could keep 6
finger on the situation.
Naka lima became Minister ol
Commerce and Industry month ago
at the time of the Emperor's sur.
render rescript. succeeding Admira
Teiichiro Toyota. who held the of.
flee when it was called the Muni-
tions Ministry.

Army Reveals Role
In Development Of
Fuse Carrying Radio

The Army's part in the develop
ment of the radio proximity fuse
which was employed with deadly
effect in artillery and antiaircraft
fire in later stages of the war was
revealed today by Secretary of War
designate Patterson.
First word of the device. described
as second in Importance only to the
atomic bomb as a war secret. came
yesterday from the Navy Depart
ment. By radioactivity the fuse
detonates shell or rocket ap-
preaching within 10 feet of its tar
get.
The device. first used on land in
repelling the German offensive in
the Ardennes in December. 1914
helped turn the Nazi tide. Gen.
Eisenhower, according to the War
Department, reported as follows:
by the unprecedented effective
ness of unseen fire at all hours OF
day and night, the enemy has been
severely upset, as confirmed by
prisoner of war reports"
The Army's research, in co-opera-
ton with the Navy, was directed
particularly toward use of the radio
fuse in rockets and bombs. Most
of the laboratory work was done
at the Bureau of Standards here
under the direction of Maj. Gen. G
M. Barnes, chief of research and de-
velopment in the Office of the Chief
of Ordnance, and DR.. Lyman J
Briggs. director of the bureau.
Field tests were carried out in
New Mexico, which also was the
testing ground for the atomic bomb
DR.. E. j. Workman of the physics
department of the University of New
Mexico co-operated in the project
So accurate were the radio-fused
rockets employed by airplanes, the
War Department said, that extern
sive tests showed that one out of
every two fired from fighters could
be relied on to bring down an enemy
plane at range of 1000 yards. AS
most fighters carry six rockets, it
was said. each plane could destroy
three opponents on every fight.
