main open until the official
VI announcement is made,

At 900 am. in Wyandotte
all was quiet although the
rest of the nation was going
mad with wild celebration.
At BIS the expected Jap

had not materialiZed.
At five o'clock this morning the
official Jap message was reported
to have arrived in Bern, Switzerland.
American SuperfortresSes will con-
tinue their attack on Japan until
the final surrender offer is in Wash

lowed to go into town on passes.
Anyone who talked, he wrote his
parents, after the atomic bomb was
made public, was sent to Fort Leav-
enworth prison.
Mail at first, Mrs. Voglesong said,
was not addressed to Oak Ridge to
maintain secrecy of the site. The
complete process was broken down
and different parts of the work
wero performed throughout the
country. Only a man working at the
Oak Ridge project could know that
another man knew as much as he
did, Voglesong told his parents,
through numbers pinned to shirts
which they we're required to wear.
While home on visits all Vogle-
song would tell his parents was.

OARS have undergone severe strain
~ in the past three years. There
have been no new ones; parts have

HOW are your brakes?
- Are you driving with faulty,
defective brakes that a stop at a
garage can remedy?
The fact that the police campaign
is about to start should not be the
impelling motive to have your brakes
checked.
It should be more because of your
duty to YOURSELF, to your fam
lily, to your neighbors, and to other

rarely sponsored laws, but his
habit, in the analysis of the pro-
poSalS of others. was TO ask a
few questions here and there.
and then almost Immediately
express a decisive conclusion.
The general expectation in

can get through the reconver-
sion period safely, he will do
Unexpectedly well IN the White
