Japan is getting hungry. Back of the pro and con discussions of whether Japan's amenability to fair arguments for ending the war is the bald truth that in China Japan has lost an edge of her rice bowl and at sea she has been completely cut off from her natural oil resources.
 Rear Admiral Malcolm F. Schoef- fel, operations chief on Armiral Earnest J. Kings staff, said in Washington that our planes and submarines have wholly cut Japan off from her footed oil resources in the South Sea.
 Ersatz Food
 A Tokyo radio announcement by the Japanese board of technology said 152 million bushels of acorns will be harvested and processed this year as substitute for rice, the food staple. Germany, in her plight, turned to acorns only as a substi- tute for coffee.
 China's great rice bowl, which has been in enemy hands for long. was dented by the recapture of Yiyang. south of Tungting Lake in the cur rent Chinese counter offensive in upper Human.
 On July II, Japan enacted a new 10 percent cut in the ration ot staple foods and Tadaatsu Ishiguro Minister of Agriculture, warned: 'The 1945 rice year will be unpre- cedentedly tense for the nation

Jap Hunger May
 Cause Downfall

Half of the potato crop comes from Hokkaido, the northern island which was battered by Admiral Will liam F. Halsey's third fleet.
 AS Japan tightens her belt and ministers speak soothingly 0 fthe Sam Raj spirit carrying the people through hungry days and weeks or urge the Japanese to dry and pre- serve weeds for winter when greens are scarce" the Nipponese radio is talking more about peace right now than any time since the war be- gan.
 Doubtless, one of the difficult as- rects of possible surrender without invasion is Emperor Hirohito and what to do with him. Dispatches from China hint that, as a com promise, Hirohito might go as em- l'eror and his brother, Prince Ya- suhito Chichibu, who has been re- leased from protective detention" might take his place.
 But everyone knows that Chichibu was the leader of the Sakura so- ciety, an embryonic Fascist organ ization created by the radical mili- taristS.
 There would be nothing illegal about the exclusion of Hirohito, his brothers, and all their descendants from the throne. Articles VIII and Tx of the Imperial house law provide a way for the removal of the em- peror and changing the order oi succession. False Relief The thesis that Japan must be

May LegoIize Polish Woif

Washington, July 24.-(UP)-The Justice Department said today that Joseph Eugene Paremba, Polish waif Smuggled into this country by the Second Army Division, may be as- sured of remaining here if his story true.
 According to Ugo Carusi, commits sioner of immigration, the boy has not been ordered deported. A three tcan immigration board in New York held him "ceportable" to keep him under government jurisdiction while his case was investigated, Carusi said.
 No appeal was taken to Attorney General Tom c. Clark personally, he added.
 Legal Admission
 If Joseph's story is found true, there are a number of ways he can be allowed to remain in the U. S.. even though he entered illegally. Carusi explained. One is to take him to Canada and admit him leg ally from there.
 Carusi said no one will be al- lowed to adopt Joseph immediately, even if he turns out to be true- blue. Nor will he be allowed to be featured in radio programs or other entertainment. He, and others ike him, will be placed in carefully selected boys schools for number of years until they become adjusted tc their adopted country. Then. Of persons of like religion and prop CT qualifications wish to adopt one of the orphans, they will be al- lowed to do SO.

The trial of PeCafn is without precedent in the history of any country. The best possible answer may be that 1t is an attempt to soot1e the wounds of Frances pride. It is an attempt to show that France was not defeated but was betrayed by one man. It is, at the same time, an attempt to distract attention from the shabby admin lstrations of the Reynauds, Dala- diers and Blurns. Petain is to be the whipping boy.
 We might profitably be on our guard lest we convict him without all the evidence. We must wait for his testimony. It would be of great interest to hear what Admiral Lea11y, the Presidents aide and adviser has to say. if he is allowed to speak, or feels free to speak. Gamelin, one would think, must be gravely responsible for what hap pened. He was in supreme con- Hnand from the outbreak of the war until the Germany break through in May-June, 1940. Oddly enough, Gamelin seems to have been able to escape all responsibil- ity, and is currently enjoying the use of the world press to convict Petain in advance. Reynaud, who was premier during the tragic year, is also publishing articles accus- ing Petain, not only of collaboration after the defeat, but of actual in- trigue before.
 The one staggering fact to be
 remembered is that France was
 defeated as overwhelmingly and
 as thoroughly as any nation in
 history. This was tragedy. And
 one cannot but understand that
 a nation so defeated should be
 ranking under that defeat. But it
 is hard to see how she will regain
 one inch of her lost stature by
 punishing Petain, if he is not
 guilty.
 Certainly it is difficult to believe that he, who did so much for France, took over the government of his nation for any reason other than 8 profund love of country. He was an aged man, honored through out France and the world for his conduct during the last war. He might gracefully have sought retire. ment. He might have flown to London and urged the boys back home to keep on fighting. He chose to re-

condemnation of Russia today dis plays shortsightedness and lack oi imagination of the people in high places in this country, which could eventually wreck the security coun- cil on which the world is currently passing its hopes for lasting peace.
 Will Wreck World
 The people who persist in this cause, he stated, will wreck the world whether they realize it or not because all nations must learn the lesson of live and let live.
 If we are to carry out this great plan of a world organization and at the same time retain our national sovereignty, we must learn this vital lesson. Russia has a system of government that is foreign to the American way and America has a system of government that is for eign to Russian ideaology. At the same time these two nations are possibly at this moment the two most powerful nations on earth.
 Urging that Americans remember the greatness of Russia's army and the noble stand that Army made at Stalingrad in turning the tide of World War II. the lieutenant-gov- ernor said that friendly relations between America and Russia are vital to the success of current world peace plans. We the people of America" he said, ought to warn our congressman that we do not pay them $10,00o a year to back bite, sheer at and condemn our most powerful sister nation in the se- curity council"

Soap Flakes Increased

Washington, July 24 - (UP) - Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson said today there would be no rationing of soap.
 He also promised civilians 100,- 100000 pound increase in their next years supply heavy-duty laundry flakes, chips and granulated soap.
 Europe's Needs
 He explained that recent state ment by Herbert Lehman. director of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, des- cribing large soap needs of Europe apparently led to rumors that soap soon would be rationed.
 Anderson appealed to American housewives to buy soap in normal quantities and stop "raiding the shelves of stores" as soon as 8 new shipment arrives.

He made several abrupt move
ments of his head, then turned and
picked his way down the crag, his
tail sweeping over the white colt,
who carefully followed him.
Thunderhead rounded up his
mares and headed them north down
the valley. When he had them run
ming he took the lead, with the black
mare and her white colt close be-
hind him. His pace was carefully
chosen so that the smallest colt
could keep up.

that would turn into whine as the

They strung out single file going
through the keyhole and down the
river gorge. Now and then Thunder
head circled to see that there were
no stragglers, giving few nips to
keep the tail-enders aware that they
were on a drive and expected to
keep up.
Below, on the plains, they spread
out, kicking and biting, wild with
the heat Of their blood, and the ex-
element of the run, and the fierce
beating Of the wind and snow.
They neared the ranch in the late
afternoon, Thunderhead swinging
along at a canter, finding his way
through the white smother with the
ease of infallible instinct. He was on

his own ground now, and had known
every square foot of it since birth.
Reaching the crest of the Saddle
Back, he halted to survey his do
main and his mares crowded up
around him. Nothing could be seen
through the snow, but to his inner
eye, every building, every fence
post was visible, and as he plunged
down the slope he INDUCED in some
coltish bucks Of pure joy. With
those thirty handsome mares and
colts behind him he could be for
given for feeling the pride of a
young heir when he brings home his
bride and displays her to the family.

Thunderhead nickered and squeal-

He plunged through the mares to
the feed racks and tore out a great
mouthful of hay-Castle Rock
Meadow hay that he had been
brought up on. His mares pushed in
behind him, mixing with the other
mares, starting little fights and scuf-
fies.
Banner met him in the center of
the corral. The two stations stood
nose to nose, quivering and squeal-
ing, half rearing. They were filled
with the excitement that goes with
the meeting of old friends-and
something else, too, because of those
mares and colts. They turned away
from each other and began to in
vestigate. Thunderhead's approach
to the Goose Bar mares was the
greeting of old friends, but it was
different with Banner. These strange
mares were new and exciting!
There were so many of them-and
his own quota was incomplete. With
a mere ten brood mares any self
respecting stallion is looking for
more.

around, crowding the walls of the
