, By BOB HOPE
OFF THE AIR

In few weeks several radio shows, including mine, will be go- ing off the air for the summer. But I'm not worried every summer my Hooper rating goes up ten points.
 Radio audiences will have plenty of fine entertainment though, considering all the replacement shows scheduled to go on. I hear Nelson Eddy is in great demand as a replacement .. with the grain shortage what it is, they're going to have him sing Short nin' Bread" three times day.
 All the radio stars are getting ready for their vacations and I'm planning to go someplace where it's cool. After a winter of telling gags, 1t gets pretty hot for me around town. And, besides, my jokes won't keep in the summer.
 In understand Fibber McGee and Molly will spend their vaca- tion strengthening up that closet. And my soundman, of course, spends his summers on the atom bomb committee.
 My writers don't take vacations in the summer E. They just con- vert to seersucker straitjackets.

TOKYO, Tuesday, July 30.-P-
Japanese militarists depended upon
revenue from narcotic traffic which
they sponsored and protected to
finance their uppet government in
China, according to testimony be-
fore the International War tribunal.
DR.. Miner S. Bates, Ohio born
professor of history at the Univer-
sity of Marking, said this situation
was deplored by a spokesman for
the Foreign Office when he visited
Tokyo in 1889.
DISTRESSED"
The spokesman said he was "ter-
ribly distressed by the extent Of
the use Of drugs in China" Bates
testified. Japanese generals said
there was no hope for Improvement
in the situation, the spokesman con-
tinued, because no other source
of revenue for the temporary gov
eminent had been found"
Peter ]. LaWless, a police official
in the British service at Tientsin
and Peiping, also told the court
that the Japanese fostered the use
of drugs, supplied opium, and de-
pended upon the revenue from the
sales of drugs to finance their pup
pet regimes.
Objection Overruled

on war crimes charges objected,

saying:
This was a type of warfare real
ly or preparation for it by making
the Chinese drug addicts."
Bates testified that his investiga-
tons in November, 1889, showed
that 5000 ounces of opium were be-
ing sold daily in Marking, compar-
ed with a negligible traffic before
the entry of the Japanese. Sales OF
