Wants Everybody Considered
To the Editor Of The Star:
At the Metropolitan Opera rally Sat-
urday last noted Chinese scholar, Mr..
Yen, was the speaker. His address was
inspiring, indeed. He stressed the fact
that the wealth Of any nation was its
people, not its gold or silver, not its
material possessions. and that the ex-
tent to which the welfare of all the peo-
pie was conserved determined the
strength of any nation.
He pointed out that today this well
fare was lacking by reason of illiteracy,
poverty. disease and misgovernment.
On Sunday the Chicago Round Table
Mr.. Doss, Mr.. Milton and DR.. white
discussed: whats Wrong With Con-
gress?" having in mind the recent move
within Congress itself for q more effec-
tive organization. Among the conclu-
sions these men reached were that the
Congress was essential to democracy,
that 1t was not now functioning at its
best, that it must change its procedure,
that 1t must improve its relations with
the public, that it must remember the
folks back home.
It is to these findings coupled with
Mr.. Yen's theory of misgovernment
that attention is directed.
The trouble with governments is that,
as constituted, they are one-sided. They
are made up Of one class, and In spite
Of any good intentions that class may
have toward the mass Of the people,
they naturally legislate In their own
interest, they look upon governments
as . means Of forcing their point Of
view upon others, rather than as the
opportunity to determine what is for
the highest and best welfare OF all In
other words, there Is great lack Of
democracy.
In order that better system may be
realized proportional representation has
been suggested. As Mr.. Yen stated,
there never can be just and lasting
peace until the welfare Of all the
people has fair consideration.

'QUISLING IS. CONVICTED OF. HIGH TREASON
Nazi Chiefiain in Norway During War Is Con-
 demned to Death

LONDON, Sept. 10 - The Oslo radio announced today that Vidkun Quisling had been convicted of charges of high treason and con- demned to death.
 The pronouncing of the sentence by the court that tried Quisling for cooperation with the Germans during the occupation of Norway was broadcast direct from the courtroom
 Under the new law legalizing the death penalty in Norway, the sen tence will be executed by a mili- tary firing squad composed of 10 soldiers firing 10 bullets.
 Under the law, Quisling can ap- peal to the Supreme Court which can commute the sentence but can not reverse it.
 The presiding judge at Quislings trial, however, was Erik Solem, who also is Supreme Court Justice and thus one of the group which would pass on any appeal
 Unless Quisling is held for pur- poses of giving evidence in other war crimes eases, it is likely the execution will be carried out within three weeks.

JAPANESE SURRENDER
 TO CHINESE
Dramatic Ceremonies Take Place in 21 Minutes
 Blunt Demand

RANKING. Sept. lo.-Japanese leaders. who surrendered their million-man force in China yester- day, were faced today with a blunt demand from the victorious Chinese that they give up the Tokyo-ap- pointed puppet president of China and seven of his aides.
 A few hours after Gen. Yasutsugu Okamura, commander of all Japa- nese forces in China, signed the surrender document which formally brought to a close the eight-year Chinese-Japanese war, he was handed an order directing him to produce Chen Kung-Po and seven other puppet government officials who, the Chinese said, "are now hid- ing in Japan"
 As the Chinese celebrated the end of the bloody conflict, longest phase of World War Two, decree was issued nullifying all laws and orders issued by the Japanese and their puppets. Another decree rescinded all taxes and other levies in Nan king, pre-war Chinese capital, which until a few days ago had been in Japanese hands.
 The surrender document, signed for China by Gen. Ho Ying-Chin, Field Forces commander, was on it's way today to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
 The tense, dramatic surrender ceremonies, ending struggle which had bled China S economy and man. power since 1887, required but 2l minutes in the Chinese Military Academy auditorium Sunday.

PART OF NAGASAKI
 IN RUIN S
Second, Last Atomic Bomb Dropped Does Greater
 Damage than First

NAGASAKI, Japan, Sep. l0-The second and last atomic bomb dropped by the Americans turned half of this city of 250,000 popula- tion into a desert of rubble.
 This is the report of one of a party of Americans on a first visit to this former manufacturing center. Of this city, comparable in size to San Antonio, Texas, nothing remains in the three mile-long and two-mile- wide business district ex- cept debris.
 The havoc caused by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki Aug. 9, was much greater than the first dropped on Hiroshima three days earlier, and it is now clear what the War Department meant when it announced that the first atomic bomb was already obsolete.
 Not even the canyons and hills protecting sections of this city were , able to save buildings and people from the desolating blast. The smell of death still is heavy over the city and smoke rises from fires started a month ago by the single bomb.
 Authorities in Nagasagi now esti- mate that 26.000 persons have died, 10000 were wounded and that 10 to 20 victims are dying daily. The Japanese officials said they ex- pected the total to climb as high as 10000 dead
 The spot where the bomb ex- ploded, an area half mile square, was swept almost clean. A mile across the valley from the bomb center houses were pushed out of line and lean drunkenly along the street.
 There was no crater, and, con- trary to previous reports. Japanese in Nagasaki said the bomb exploded about l,500 feet above the ground
