JAP RESETTLEMENT
Lift Coast Ban

OF 10000 persons Of Japanese
ancestry, who were removed from
the Pacific coast following Pearl
Harbor, only $4,000 will return with
the lifting of the ban against their
resettlement there, U. S relocation
authorities predicted.
Out Of the 10000 removed, about
$4,000 have found new homes In
other sections of the country, where
they have entered variety of in
dustries ranging from matchmaking
to mechanical dentistry and proven
their efficiency and trustworthiness.
Another SO, 900 have remained in re-
location camps.
With feeling running high against
Japanese-Americans in some Pacif-
ic coast communities, Maj. Gen. H.
C. Pratt, commander of the western
defense zone, called upon residents
there to accord resettlers the same
privileges Of other law-abiding citi-

EMPLOYMENT:
Set Coal

Speedy rehiring of many dis
charged war workers by reconvert-
ing industries will be necessary if
the War Manpower commissions
goal of an immediate postwar fac
tory employment Of IA million is to
be achieved.
The necessity Of speeding up re-
conversion to absorb the postwar
labor glut was pointed up by the
WINGS own estimate that four mil
lion persons would lose wartime jobs
within the next six months. Aircraft
plants alone will discharge one mil
lion, with ordnance releasing 800, 900,
shipbuilding 5000 and government
over 100000.
Manufacturing industries cannot
sop up all Of the available labor sup
ply, VINO said, declaring that In
creasing numbers Of men and wom-
en- will have to enter mining, build
ing, trade and farming. Because the
war restricted much activity in
these enterprises, and anticipated
postwar markets win lead to busi-
ness expansion, VINO predicted
wider employment in these fields.

REDEPLO OYMENT:
Revise Plans

Considered its answer to wide
spread criticism on the part OF serv-
icemen as well as the public, the
army revised its redeployment plans
to free an estimated 665, 200 vets
from Pacific duty.
Under the new plan, G.I.s exempt
from overseas service will include
those with As or more discharge
points; those between "a and 81
years Of age with a year Of serv-
ice, or those 81 or over. Previous
ly, the army had required rs points
for such exemption.
Meanwhile, 100000 army officers
looked forward to early release fol-
lowing the announcement Of dis
charge plans based upon the point
system. With points computed on
the basis of one for each month in
service, one for each month of over
seas service, five for each combat
award and IL for each dependent
under 18, colonels, lieutenant-col-
onels and majors need 100 points for
discharge; captains, first and second
lieutenants, IS, and warrant and
fight officers, 80.

gain the confidence of the world.
In detailing the Nipponese down.
fall, Higashi Kuni revealed that
combined U. S. sea and air might
had sharply reduced Nipponese
shipping and rail communications
and cut down the flow Of materials
to war industries. In turn, these
plants suffered heavily from air
bombardment.
Declaring that the ruins Of Hiro-
shima and Nagasaki were too ghast-
ly to even look upon, Higashi-Kuni
admitted that the use Of the atomic
bomb proved the real turning point
Of the war, with Russia's entrance
Gaping the disastrous turn Of
events.
Even as Higashi- -Kuni spoke, U. S.
forces continued to pour into Japan
for occupation duties, with an esti-
mated 800, 900 to AGO. 900 men eventu-
ally needed to complete the opera
ton.
With U. S. troops tanning out
over the Japanese home islands,
efforts were made to speed up the
release Of American war prisoners,
many of whom charged mistreat-
ment during their captivity. Avi-
ators especially were singled out for
abuse, first being pummeled by
any civilians upon parachuting to
safety, before being turned over to
military guards.

that the probe should bring out all
facts relating to civil as well as
military responsibility, with no eff
fort to shield any individual.
Though support for a joint-con-
gressional investigation Of Pearl
Harbor was nigh unanimous, the
administration faced rougher sled
ding on other important legislation,
with the Republicans threatening a
bitter fight against so-called pater-
nalistic aspects Of Mr.. Truman's
domestic program and liberal for
eign lending provisions.
Particularly acrimonious debate
was expected to develop over such
adrninistration-supported measures
as increasing unemployment COM
pensation to maximum of $25 a
week for rs weeks; entrusting the
government with providing for full
employment; banning racial or reli-
gious discrimination in hiring, and
extensive federal public works
building. Opponents also girded to
fight the administration reconver-
sion pricing policies, which seek to
hold charges to 1912 levels until
mass production permits volume.
In military matters, q lively fight
loomed over extension Of the draft

 Offer Thanks
 On Wars End

Church bells throughout the city pealed joyously last night. almost simultaneously with the official sur- render proclamation issued by the president. Houses of worship open ed their doors to thankful parish toners who turned to offer their prayers to Almighty God in their hour of supreme happiness.
 The topsy- -turvy, turbulent four years of war finally had ended. Peo- pie of the city were filled with a solemn hope for peace, and visited their churches and synagogues to share their gladness with their God.
 All Protestant churches of the city held a union service of Thanks giving at 8 o'clock at St. Johns Episcopal church. Rev. John J. Snavely, president of the Waterbury Ministers association was in charge. Many Protestant churches through out the area conducted individual worship services. Communion ser- vices will be announced later.
 Catholic churches held special Thanksgiving services with evening rosaries and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and scheduled Masses for later in the week. Both Temple Israel and Beth Israel syna- gogues held special services last night at 8 o'clock for the Jewish worshipers. All churches will re- main open all day today.

west Pacific was wrested from Jap anese hands-the Admiralties, part of New Britain, Morotai, and many others. The U. S. fleet, meanwhile was growing rapidly. It finally surpassed the enemy navy, and its carrier forces moved about the southwest Pacific, hitting the Jap- anese almost at will.
 The Gilberts and the Marshalls were invaded, and the U. s. moved on to the Marianas-Guam, Tinian and Saipan-and the western Caro- lines.
 The powerful U. s. Third Fleet under Halsey began 8 series of devastating blows against Japanese air power in the Philippines. Then in October came the dramatic news that MacArthur had invaded the Philippines.
 The Japanese fleet, which had been in hiding since it's Guadal- canal defeats, finally came out to fight-from three different direc- tions. It ran into disaster. In the so-called second battle of the Philip pines it suffered one of the worst naval defeats in history. It never again came out in force for another test of strength.

Development Commission Plans Farley

Hartford, Conn.,. Aug. IS = The Connecticut Development Commis- sion will meet with Governor Ray mond Baldwin Thursday to discuss ways in which the services of the commission can be intensified to aS- sist manufacturers in meeting the impact of war contract cancella- tions brought about by the develop ments in the Pacific, Willard B. Rogers, commission chairman, stat ed today.
 The chairman said that in antici- patton of an early end of hostilities and the resultant changes in the in- dustrial and employment situation the staff of the Development Com mission had been recently reorgan- ized to prepare it for rendering wider services to the State during the period of transition from war to peacetime economy.
 "The commission and the staff are prepared to assist industry in the reverse of the process in which they lent their services in the per- tod of conversion to war production, MT. Rogers declared. Throughout the war, one of the Development Commissions foremost jobs has been that of keeping in Connecticut innumerable sub-contracts which otherwise would have gone else- where, and it is our purpose to aid industry in similar ways in the days ahead"
 "Our objective" he continued, twill be to help safeguard the em- ployment of our Connecticut citi- zens by aiding industry, either large or small but particularly the latter, to get into the production of peace time goods as rapidly as possible. The means for accomplishing this are what the commission intends to discuss with Governor Baldwin at

Malaya, Burma = and in so doing gave the U. s. time to patch up its wounds and prepare for the come back.
 It was 8 long, tough road to Tokyo. The United States had to travel 1t virtually alone.
 It was obvious on Dec. T, 1941, that the key to ultimate victory was control of the seas. President Roose- welt called on Admiral Ernest J. King, who then headed the Atlantic fleet, to take over the combined job of commander-in-c of the U. s. Fleet and chief of naval operations. King summoned Admiral Chester w. Nimitz from a Navy Department desk job and put him in command of the Pacific Fleet.
 Nimitz knew then = that he couldn't slug it out with the Jap anese. So he decided to jab and feint until Americas -mobilized labor could restore and augment his fleet. He ordered the fleet organized into fast moving task forces.
 Jap's Surprised
 The victory-f1ushed Japanese re- ceived a shocking surprise - when a task force under then Vice Ad- miral William F. Halsey, Jr., struck at enemy naval and air bases in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands on Feb. l, l942 - less than two months after Pearl Harbor.
 Meanwhile, the Japanese con- tinued their rampage through the South Pacific. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, on President Roosevelt's or- ders, fled from the Philippines to Australia. When Macarthur left, he promised the Filipinos he would return. History records show he kept that promise.
 By the early spring of 1942, the Japanese were in possession of vir- tually the entire southwest Pacific. On April 18 a daring band of fly CTS stunned the Japanese, raised American hopes, and foreshadowed the greatest air-borne destruction ever brought on a people.
 They were "Doolittle's boys," the lIIIS group Ol o-z0 llyeTS WHO, Ily- ing from the old carrier Hornet, made history's first bombing attack on Tokyo.
 Then on May 7-the day Cor regidor fell-the Navy issued com- munique which began with the words "very excellent news has been received''. The news was of the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first great air-sea engagement between the U. s. and Japanese fleet. It saved Australia, wounded the Jap anese navy, and, with the Battle of Midway a month later, turned the tide of the war.
 At great cost and only after vicious land battles and great sea fights. the United States kicked the Japanese out of Guadalcanal and began the long march back up the Pacific.
 Macarthur, commanding Ameri- can and Australian troops. began to push the Japanese out of New Guinea He was soon on the road to the Philippines.

By SANDOR s. KLEIN

United Press Stan COrrespondentl
 Washington, Aug. l5.-(UP)-Ja- pan was beaten by the destruction of its fleet, the mangling of its cities hy air, and strangling blockade of its homeland. Japan was out Thought, out-guessed and out fought.
 Its surrender undoubtedly was hastened by the atomic bomb and Russia's entry into the Pacific war. z It's doom, however, had already been sealed.
 To reach the heartlands of the enemy empire, the United States leaped over vast sea distances, tak- ing what it needed for bases and by passing thousands of islands. It chopped down Japan's vaunted fleet from the air and from the sea. U. { $. submarines and planes shattered .Tapan's merchant fleet and ripped apart the far-fiung empires com- lfunications.
 When its march across the Pacific 5Tought 1t at last to the very door .tsps of Japan proper. the United states sent its great air fleets stab- ling deeper and deeper into the rlemy homeland, laying waste its .ities.
 Ground Troops Fight
 The defeat of Japan was accom- n.ished with a minimum ot ground trsops. No great armies, such as those which fought in Europe, were engaged. The war in the Pacific was basically struggle for island bases, most of them mere dots com- pared to the wide expanses of sea that lay between the United States and Japan.
 But while the air fleets and the Navy were heaping destruction on the enemy's homeland preparations were being made for the Army to in- wade Japan.
 Japan's surrender saved thou sands, perhaps tens of thousands, of lives.
 In the final analysis it was the hrflliance, the daring of American strategy and tactics and the heroism of Americas fighting men that turned the tide of war from black 6sfeat on December 2, 1941 to sud- den equalization of the enemy three years and eight months later.
 The military man will tell you that Japan laid the foundations for its own defeat the day it attacked Pearl Harbor. This act set in mo- ton the full force of Americas great industrial potential turned 1t into the greatest machine for des- truction the world has ever seen.
 Japan's Mistake ( The Navy man will tell you Japan made a serious strategic mistake right at the start. It might have driven the battered U. s. fleet of the seas had it followed up the Pearl Harbor victory with an in- vasion of the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska.
 But Japan set out instead on a greedy plurge of territorial con- : quest for It's greater East Asia CO., | urosperity sphere. It grabbed the Philippines, the Netherlands Indies
