A $4,000 silver encrusted saddle
will be flown to Admiral William F..
Halsey if he decides to ride Emperor
Hirohito's white charger through
Tokyo after Japan's surrender.
The Treasury said yesterday that
the Western stock saddle of blond
leather ordered for Admiral Halsey
by the Reno New Chamber of
Commerce has been finished. When
the Pacific war ends the Navy will
air express the saddle to Admiral
Halsey's headquarters, the Treasury
said.
Admiral Halsey said several

DC. Expected 10 Greet
W. Day With Spirit
Lacking on We Day

Washington is expected to cele-
brate victory over Japan with the
zest and enthusiasm which were
missing on We day because Of the
realization, publicly stressed by the
White House, that much bloody
fighting lay ahead in the Pacific.
However, victory will not lack a
note Of reverence. The Washington
Federation of Churches yesterday
asked President Truman to pro-
claim VI day as one OF public
prayer. Virtually every church in
the city plans special victory servi-
ces and most of them expect to be
open during the day for those who
wish to pray or mediate in private.
The request for a thanksgiving
proclamation was made in a tele-
gram to the President from DR. Car
roll E. Roberts, president of the
federation, and DR.. Frederick R.
Reissig, the organizations executive
secretary.
Police Suspend Leaves.
Indicating uncertainty as to when
vi day will come, the Police De-
partment late yesterday sent out
instructions to precincts that officers
might continue to take their days
off until further notice. However,
1t was ordered that no annual leave
be granted except in emergencies or
where permission to take it already
has been given.
Unless vi day should come today,
when District bars sell only beer and
light wines, it appeared that the
average Washingtonian who feels so
inclined will have little trouble in
finding spirits. Some of the big
hotel bars in the downtown area
plan to close, but the others are
expected to remain open. The Dis
trict ABC Board has taken no action
to close liquor stores, and apparently
each dealer will decide for himself
whether to remain open.
The Virginia State-owned liquor
dispensaries are to close as soon as
the official announcement of victory
Is heard.
Chairman Alfred Young OF the
Board of Commissioners in Mont
gomery County said holders of liquor
licenses there are being asked to
close. II victory is announced be-
fore 3 pm. they may open next day.
II later they are to close then, too.
Stores Here Will Close.
Department and specially stores
expect to close on VI day, according
to an announcement from the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Federal employees, although they
have had no official word, generally
expect to receive one or two days in
which to celebrate. 1t was recalled
that the President in his We day
statement indicated that the Gov
ernment would reserve it's celebra-
ton for the final victory. The Brit
ish government has announced a
two-day holiday for government
workers.

PAYMENTS, OF
 SOME SORT, ON
 LEND-LE
Unified States Has Not Torn Up I0Us for Forty-
 two Billion

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Nations which received Lend-Lease aid had it straight from Secretary of State Byrnes today that the United States has by no means torn up their I. O. Us.
 They will not be asked to pay in dollars because they do not have the dollar credits. But they are on notice that they will be expected to make some kind of settlement. It seemed probable they would be requested to pay off in the form of lowered trade restrictions-particu- larly the British, whose economic officials will arrive next week to discuss possible substitutes for Lend Lease
 Byrnes made it clear in a formal statement that President Trumans report to Congress saying that $42.- 00,000,000 of Lend-Lease might as well be written off did not mean there would be no settlements of a kind not involving cash.

 STUDY METHODS FOR
 GAME CONSERVATION

Game conservation and possible methods of stocking nearby lakes and streams with various species of trout were the main topics of dis cussion at meeting held Thursday evening by the Territorial Sports men, Inc, club recently organized by residents of Juneau and Gas tineau Channel who are keenly in- terested in the future as well as the present status of game and fish.
 The audience greatly enjoyed the beautiful colored pictures of wild game and bird life, which were shown through the courtesy of pr. George Dale and the U S. Forest Service.
 The pictures, which are accompan- jed by comments and eXplana- tions, were made by the Forest Ser vice, and cover practically all types of game in the States and Alaska. For sheer beauty alone, these pie lures are we'll worth seeing, while from the practical standpoint of Educational value, they should be seen by everyone interested in wild life.
 Predatory animals such as wolves and coyotes are growing menace to game animals in the Territory, Jack O'Connor of the Alaska Game Com mission said, and a lack of funds has prevented the Commission taking adequate steps for their control. Some means of stopping increase of wolves and coyotes and giving pro- tection to the wild life which fall prey to them, should be an impor- tant part of the clubs program, he added.
 The announcement was also made last night that Marshall Erwin of Erwin's Case Lot Grocery, and one of the clubs most enthusiastic mem- bers, has offered prizes amounting to $100 in cash for the three most perfect sets of deer horns brought in during the present hunting season First prize will be $5000, second $35.00 and third $15.00.
 Sandwiches, cake and coffee were served at the close of the meeting while members and visitors gathered in groups to talk over other sugges- tions and plans for the future work of the club.
