a little while before they left, they told me
of their happiness here in the United States.
They had arrived in Beaver Dams on
cold, bitter day early in 1945 - so shiver-

full straw suitcases. Before them they saw
the long rows of crew cars which were
to be their homes during their six

few scattered houses, there was nothing but
snow, unending snow.
Their hearts sank. They had made their
contracts. They meant to live up to them.
They were honorable men, selected from
the many who had applied. They knew that
they were furnishing badly needed labor;
they were happy, too, about the money they
would be able to take back to their little

May Bring American Turn to Left t-Whdt Will Hap
 pen II Is Does!
By Jack Bell I Associated Press CorrespondenD

WASHINGTON, July 27-British rejection of the Churchill Govern ment set American politicians won- dering today whether the postwar era will bring an American turn to the left and what will happen if it does.
 Members of Congress voiced wide disagreement over the effect they think the British voting results might have on the war with Japan and on general international rela- tions between this country and Britain.
 But the victory of labor party which campaigned for government ownership of Britain's basic indus tries convinced many that the United States may face similar issues when the Pacific war ends.
 Senator Austin tR-vt.), for in stance, said he thinks the two major parties will have to improve upon their flexibility to meet do- nestle and foreign problems.
 We are confronted with the greatest attack on free economy in history" Austin told a reporter. If we maintain the capitalistic system and free government we will have to improve our flexibility and move quickly to meet economic, po- litical and international problems :"
 Senators Johnson (D-Colo), and W erry, R-Neb), said they thought the left wing victory in England shows the way the world is going"
 Senator Morse R-Ore) com mcnted cryptically that the elec- tion demonstrates that historically we have entered into the era of the common man"

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes already has two key men up his sleeve for top jobs in the State Department. Un- less something changes his mind before he gets back from Potsdam the new Under Secretary of State replacing Joe Grew, will be Spruille Braden, now U. s. Ambassador to Argentina; while the Assistant Secretary for Latin America, re- placing Nelson Rockefeller, will be Norman Armour, now U. s. Am- bassador to Spain.
 The promotion of Braden to the Under Secretary will be a direct slap at the Argentines, where crowds have been booing Braden and hand-bills have been posted all over Buenos Aires denouncing him because of an accident in the Braden Copper Mines ( in Chile.
 Braden is political diplomat with plenty of career experience. He worked on the fringes of the old Roosevelt Brain Trust in 1882, and FDR considered appointing him Ambassador to Chile in 1883.
 However, there was too much re- sentiment from Chilean labor be- cause of Braden's copper interests there and he was given one of the hardest diplomatic jobs in the Western Hemisphere instead. He was made a diplomatic trouble shooter to iron out the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, and other troubles in the Western Hemisphere. Later, Braden became Ambassador to Colombia and Cuba where he did an Al job.
 Norman Armour, slated to suc- ceed Nelson Rockefeller, is one of the outstanding career diplomats, having been Ambassador to Argen- tina and Chile, and Minister to Canada and Haiti. When Braden leaves Argentina as Ambassador, his post will not be filled-a slap at the Argentine Fascists, and also indirectly at the State Department group who rushed us into Argen- tine recognition at San Francisco.

poisdanl UIiimatunr On Japan 10 Surrender to
 Co 10 Emperor Hirohito
By MORRIS J. HARRIS Former Chief of the Shang- hai Bureau of the Associated Press and long time resident of Japan.)

WASHINGTON, July 27 In theory, the issue of the Potsdam ultimatum for Japan's immediate unconditional der, goes straight before the Emperor.
 He is, in the eyes of his loyal subjects, the source of all authority in Japan--the All-Highest from whom all decisions flow.
 In truth, however, Hirohito Emperor of Japan, 124th ruler of his line, likely will have little to do with the reply, if any, that is sent to the Truman-Churchiil- Chiang Kai-shek pronouncement.
 Instead, Japan's warlords, lon1 since run amok and leading their nation to it's doom, likely are the ones who will say quit or con- tinue fighting.
 For generations Japan's Emper- ors have been little more than figureheads, and Hirohito can claim no better rating. Should the big decision to admit defeat or cast the empire to it's destruction really fall into Hirohitos lap he will carry little political and moral strength with him for it's making.
 Hirohito is the son of Yoshihito, who died in 1928 after five years of insanity.
 For years before his death, To- shihito had ceased to appear in public, his government was in the hands of a regency of elder states men.
 His son, Hirohito, received the same education all Japanese Crown Princes receive-coddling in the hands of private tutors and q smattering of military tactics and display in order that they might know how to ride horse and re- view the nations troops.
 At the age of 20 the insanity of his father demanded that the na- ton have a titular head and that Kirohito assume the title of Prince Regent.
 A shcrt while before, the then Prince of Wales-later to become Edward VII and Duke of Windsor paid a state visit to Japan.
 I was in Japan at the time and was assigned to travel with the two Royal Princes.
 I remember well how Edward, after the days work" with the Japanese Prince was done, called for other Japanese more schooled in the affairs of the world in order to relieve the tediousness of the royal tour

Bp ", ". HERCHER Associated Press CorrespondenD

LONDON, July 27.-Clement R. r Attlee plunged into work today as bead of Britains first Labor govern !Inent in IA years, which he has pledged to give top priority to fin ishing the war with Japan. There was a general belief here the the new Prime Minister would return to Big Three conferences at Potsdam during the weekend. How ever, it seemed likely that he would i'll at least the major cabinet offices before leaving.
 Tn triumphant Laborites, holding SO of the GAO seats in the House of Commons, appeared to be settling down for a long term in office possibly the full statutory five years.
 Labor members of Parliament have been called to meet here to- morrow to re-elect the leader of the party. which always is done at the start Of each new session. Most London newspapers predicted Churchill would not return to Pots dam, although it was reported Attlee already had asked him to accom- pany him. Eden, however, said he would return to the conference if ask2d and would continue to do his Ee>t to help.
 Churchill and Eden both were re- etrsted to Commons.
 For Churchill was left the relative humble position of leader of the House of Commons minority-one so small it can wield but little in- fluence in shaping Britains im- mediate future.

(By Associated Press)

Ire passing of Winston Churchill as Britains Prime Minister brought a mixed reaction throughout the world today.
 There was general rejoicing in the ranks of labor, some anxiety on the part of business interests with Brit ish affiliations and consternation in Rightist circles. Everywhere the pro- portions of the defeat of the Churchill government caused sur prise.

 In Washington, members of Con- gress disagreed in their opinion of what effect the voting result would have on the war with Japan and on general British-American interna- tional relations Most Congressmen thought the British would press the war against Japan, but Senator Mo- Farland CD-Ariz) was afraid the British regard the war as over"
 Victory by the Labor party, which seeks government ownership of Brit aims basic industries, convinced many Congressmen that similar is- sues must be faced in the United States
