It is destined to be raised over Tokyo. “Let’s not forget that we are fighting for peace and for the welfare of mankind,” Mr. Tru man told the troops lined up for the ceremony. “We are not fighting for conquest. "There is not one piece of territory or one thing of a mone tary nature that we want out of this war. We want peace and prosperity for the world as a whole. W’e want to see the time come when we can do the things in peace that we have been able to in war. If we can put this tremendous machine of ours which has made this victory possible, to work for peace we could look forward to the greatest age in the history of mankind. “That is what we propose to do.” Mr. Truman told the soldiers, picked infantrymen from the sec ond armored division, that they had "proved conclusively that a free people can look after the affairs of the world” the president, secretary of war Henry L.

IMPORTANT STATEMENT The president's brief message was interpreted by some of his | listeners as meaning the United ; States insisted that the peace and welfare of the average man i were more important than ter ritorial disputes and boundar ies. The ceremony took place in the cobblestoned central court of what had been the German aircraft com mand for middle Germany. Immediately after the flag-rais ing the president sped back into Potsdam to resume his delibera tions with Generalissimo Stalin and Pjrime Minister Churchill—discus sions in which poesble Russian aid in the war against Japan is be lieved to be playing an important part. The president was described as eager to return to Washing ton as soon as possible after the conference here closes. He has all but abandoned plans for even a brief visit to London. He is keeping in close touch with congressional considerations of the United Nations charter and Bret ton Woods proposals, and the “little white house” map room is receiving I hourly reports on the Pacific war.

Before leaving Washing ton the president had directed the top shipping officials to stand by, ready to Join this conference.

Springs, South Carolina, Rebuilding Berlin A 20-Year Task BERLIN, July 20. — <P)— The Berliner Zeitung estimates that more than half of this city’s 1,500, 000 homes were destroyed during the war and that 16 years will be re quired to haul away the rubble if 10 trains of 50 cars each depart daily. However, from observation of the bucket brigades instituted by the Russians, by means of which Ger man women and a few old men are moving the debris, one gains the impression that it would take 16 years to fill one train. Among the Zeitung’s other obser vation were these: At the pre-war construction rate it will take 20 years to replace all! the destroyed homes, and the cost will be about two billion dollars— using the pre-war valuation of the German mark as equal to 40 cents. (The military government has plac ed a value of 10 cents on the mark.)

PLOT Starts On Page One dents that could not be foreseen.” On the morning of July 20, Hitler arrived on schedule at his head quarters at Rastenburg, East Prus sia. Photographs taken of his ar rival show him surrounded by high ranking officers and shaking hands with his doctor. After the usual pleasantries they entered buildings and headed for the war room, where routine brief ing on the military situation was to be held. But at the last moment, for some unexplained reason, the regular briefing room was aban doned for a larger one upstairs. This was the first definite break against the plotters. A few minutes later Col. Von Stauffenberg of the gen-ral staff came in. He carried a time-bomb in his briefcase. The fact that he was permitted to approach Hitler with briefcase in hand distinguish ed him as an officer with wide pri vileges. Stauffenberg casually placed hi6 briefcase on the floor next to the desk, spoke a few words to an ac quaintance and drifted out into the hall. When briefing began a few moments later he had not return ed. One of those unforseenable little incidents that sometimes alter his tory now took place. The briefing officer mentioned a place name that was unfamiliar to Hitler, and Hitler got up and walked across the room to have a closer look at the maps. This move, quite by chance, placed a massive oak desk between Hitler r.nd von Stauffenberg’s brief case. As Hitler stood squinting at the map a terrific explosion blazed through the room killing six offi cers and maiming the others. Hitler himself was thrown against the wall and partially stunned ’ ->t the lut. combination of the heavy oak desk, his curiosity about place names and the roomier briefing r'-om saved his life. The conspirators, believing they had won, quickly flasl :d word that Hitler was dead. In Paris. Gen. Stuelpnagle struck swiftly, sifting the ent'-e SS gar rison and making wholesale arrests of wehrmacht officers of whose sympathies he was not sure. Von Stauffenberg flew to Berlin. He went directly to his office, sum moned his secretary and was dic t-.ting a new list of N'?i officials to be shot when Himmler’s SS clos ed in on him ar.d told him the plot had failed. ‘ They took Stauffenberg to 11-13 Bendlestrasse, right in the heart of Berlin, court-martialled him with three other officers, and all four were sentenced to be shot,” said T/3 Walter T'asenclever, Andover, Mass. ‘‘They were executed a few minutes after midnight by a firing squad composed of five non-com missioned officers. Gen. Von Rundstedt, who knew of the plot but took no part in it, telephoned Von Stuelpi agle from Sedan and bluntly told hi . the . lot had miscarried. Dazed, Von Stuelp nagle ordered his prisoners relea ed, then fired a bullet into his head. But even the bullet, like the plot, failed of its mark. It missed his brain and succeeded only in blind ing him.
