Allies Sharply Divided On How To Treat Hirohito By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, July 31. —(IP)— Allied councils are divided sharply over the treatment to be accorded Emperor Hlrohito of Japan. The difference of views, which spreads among groups within the United States government as well ai among other governments, Is un derstood here to have been the basic reason why the Potsdam ulti matum to Japan ommltted all re ference to Hlrohito or to the mon archy as an institution. As a result, the way still Is open for the Japanese to try to save their emperor as the pin nacle of their government. However, American officials say they wo hurting their chances by delaying inevitable capitula Although Premier Suzuki’s re jection of the Potsdam demand Is described here as something of a poker move in the hope of winning higher stakes, there is at the mo ment a lessening hope of any Im mediate surrender on the part of Tokyo. BRIGHTER SIDE There are those, however, who take a ^fighter view. They cite first, the terrific beating the Ja panese are taking and second, the fact that they are presumed to be within Japan potential leaders who really would like to end the war. It Is around the ideas of these people toward the emperor that much of the controversy over Japan’s su preme ruler has revolved. A check of officials here shows the situation at the moment to be this: 1. The British are reported fol lowing the line that the Japanese emperor should be preserved—cer tainly the institution of monarchy In Japan—primarily as a means of preventing chaos and possibly eventual dictatorship in the war wrecked country. 3. At the other extreme, the peoples’ political council of China has recommended to the Chinese government that Hlrohito be brand ed as a war criminal. Diplomatic officials here say that recommenda tion will have enormous weight in Chungking. r The United States is following a middle of the road, “wait and see" policy. The theory is that if the Japanese people really want Hiro hito they probably should have a to demonstrate the fact. If it turns out they do not want him he should not, in the American view, be Imposed upon them. ideas differ Indications are however, that there is no unanimity among Amer ican officials themselves on the Hlrohito policy. Some talk privately of dlspmdng of the emperor once he is in allied hands. Others con tend he is not important one way or another and should be used by the allies primarily as a bargaining 84. The situation has been further complicated by Australian rejec tion of the entire Potsdam ultima tum as being too lenient toward the Japanese. The official view here is that while it did promise them freedom of government, religion and so on, it actually laid down the framework of a “hard” peace. Meanwhile, the military com mand is going ahead with plans to duh out the promised destruction to the enemy since the ultimatum has not been accepted. SENATE Starts On Pate One ate,” Vandenberg told a reporter. Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman of the Republican steering com mittee, said he thought "the whole senate will insist on its being done” that way. “It was clearly understood in the debate on the charter that congress would create the office of the delegate, that his appoint ment would be confirmed by the senate and that his duties and authority would be carefully de fined,” Taft asserted. Taft 6&id he had no objection to President Truman’s appoint ment of Stettinius, former secre tary of state, as a temporary dele gate to the international organ ization’s preparatory meetings. But he added he would fight in the senate to force consideration of enabling legislation he said Con nally and others had promised. Connally's stand won quick sup port. however, from Senator Lucas (D-Ill.) PRESIDENTIAL POWER "I don’t believe the senate can now lay down any specific rules and regulations to guide the pow er of the member of the security council,” Lucas asserted. Connally said he thought it would be possible to avoid a great deal of senate debate if no en abling legislation were offered. He contended that the authority to cast the nation’s vote on the se curity council rests with the presi dent, who, he said, always has had THE RECORD SHOP s "I Wish”—(Mill Brothers) NEWEST > ) ‘It’s Ony A Paper Moon*’—(Ella Fitsgerald SELECTIONS i an dtbe Delta Rhythm Boys.

Stacy, died at the hoapitai here about 8 p.m., less than two hours after the crash in the yard of Vir gil Carter of Timber Ridge com munity, who rushed the youth to medical care. Carter who like Stacy was em ployed at the postoffice here, cut the youth’s safety straps from a bout his body after the plane halt ed about 10 feet from the Carter residence. It did not burn.

Stacy, jr., Lt. William E. Stacy and Cpl. H. Neil Stacy. HITLER Starts Ob Fata On* back to the last war you find him suffering temporary blindnees from hysteria. Now far be it from your column ist to try to give an expert apprais al of Hitler's mental condition during his evil dictatorship. We know that, paranoic or not, he was one of the most powerful leaders of history, still, the meth ods employed by this self-ordain ed divinity wholesale massarces, attempts to exterminte races, en slavement of millions—all seem to fit the theory of paranoic tenden cies rather snugly. By the way, we may not be rid of this devil yet. Col. General Gorbatov, Russian chairman of the allied kommandantur for Ber lin, says there’s no definite proof that Hitler is dead. He may be in hiding. HIS FOLLOWERS Well, so much for the master, and now for the Nazi captains. Little Joe Goebbels, Hitler’s mli^ ister of propaganda, who pre sumably committed suicide during the siege of Berlin, was abnormal. He was an expert in lying and trickery. Rudolf Hess, who mys teriously flew to England in 1941 and was imprisoned, is reported by his wife in Germany to have un dergone certain "psycho-physical” changes. In short, his screw-ball mentality finally has jelled. Oversize Hermann Goering, Hit ler’s crown prince, who has a long record of abnormality, is in a bad way in the internment camp. He is a dope addict, and since his arrest has been cringing in fear of death. He even cracked up the other night because of thunder. GONE TO PIECES Robert Ley, once head of all German labor, has gone to pieces, as has Julius Stretcher who per haps holds first place in history as a persecutor of the Jews. Dr. Hans Prank, the bloody minded Nazi overlord of Poland, is suf fering from hyster’fv much of the time. So the story goes. Even some of the Prussian general staff are showing signs of mental peculiari ties, and go into hysterics over slight things. The sum and sub stance of all this is that the Hit ler regime, and some of the mili tary command, was comprised of such abnormal minds that one would have to search far to find proofs to controvert the psychia trists’ claim that the Nazi lead ers had paranoic tendencies. Anyway, mental abnormality was responsible for one of the most barbaric wars of history. The kai ser waged a war of aggression, but he didn’t descend to whole sale massacres and enslavement. The moral? That seems clear enough—to put all the Hitlerite leaders permanently out of circul- | ation in the forthcoming trials. Cordell Hull was practicing law' in Tennessee before he was old enough to vote. the power to use American troops for actions short of actual war. “The point is,” the committee chairman said, “that the delegate is going to be a diplomatic offi cer appointed by the president and he will have to carry out the or- | ders of the president.” IN PHILIPPINES—Pvt. David A. LipsComb has infromed his moth er, Mrs. E. W. Lipscomb of Boil ing Springs, that he is now in the Philippines. His APO number is 703, San Francisco. He entered service in August, 1944. Shelby Men Are Arrestei For Gambling GAFFNEY—Bonds of $10 each posted by 18 men accused of gambling Sunday afternoon in Smith's Place, Limestone street poolroom, were declared forfeited by Magistrate O. F. Poole yester day morning when none of the de fendants appeared lor a trial set for 10 am. A $100 bond posted by the house on a charge of operating a gambl ing place was also declared for feited. Officers who raided the pool room included City Policemen Robert Cooper and Louis Clary, State Constable Roland T. Clary and Federal Officer W. C. Rich ards. The officers said several of the men arrested were from Shelby, N. C., and that others were from Spartanburg, only four or five be ing Gaffney residents. The house was accused of operating a base ball pool. Elizabeth School To Occupy Adjoining Site The Elizabeth community’s mod ern new school budding will be erected on county home property adjoining the present school site rather than on the same site, school officials said today. It was stated erroneously in the report of the $50,000 bond issue approval yesterday that the building would occupy the same site. Ration Board Closed Tomorrow The ration board will be closed all day tomorrow for the prepa ration of reports and cleaning up of office files, it was stated today by J. J. Hartigan secretary. This is in line with a policy of all ra tion boards to close on the first day of each month. Last Call For Registration This is the last day for dealers of used automobiles to apply for the right to sell at warranted pric es, it was pointed out by rationing officials. For dealers to sell cars on a guaranteed basis they must be registered with the office of de fense transportation. STALIN Starfts On Page One late yesterday. It appeared however, that fur ther interruptions were unlikely. The German Communist party newspaper Deutsche Volkszeitung, published in Berlin, reprinted ex cerpts from an editorial in Mos cow’s Pravda which declared that “the problems of the future for defeated Germany are the central point” of the Potsdam conference. The editorial also attacked the Catholic bishops of American ruled Bavaria, saying they were “lying about Germany’s responsi bility for the war and its conse quences." Meetings of the American, Brit ish and Russian foreign secretar ies have been continuing as usual since the lats meeting between the three top conferees Saturday night, it was undrstood. This led to be lief the conference might have pro gressed to the final decision stage. DELAY There had been some specula tion that the conference was to have ended last night, but there was no indication nor belief that yesterday’s failure on the part of the Big Three to meet had in any way delayed the parley’s conclus ion. President Truman is known to want to get back to Washington to tnake his report to the Ameri can people and concentrate his at tention on the war against the Japanese. Prime Minister Attlee, while carrying on the international du ties here left off by Winston Churchill, Is completing his initial domestic program for parliamen tary consideration. (In London, the British press association reported that plans were “under consideration” for President Truman to meet with King George VI after the Potsdam conference, possibly at Plymouth.) LOWER COTTON COSTS SOUGHT Study Mechanized Meth ods Applicable To N. C. Production COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh, July 31. —UP)— Extension cotton and marketing specialists at State College are carefully considering what may be done in mechanized cotton production in North Caro lina. They realize that everything pos sible must be accomplished to re duce cotton production costs to meet the competition of synthetic fibers and the low production costs on cotton throughout the world after the war is over. It has been suggested that cot ton be produced entirely with trac tor power in a series of demonstra tions. To reduce the hand labor in volved in the chopping and hoeing of cotton, plans have been suggest ed for the full use of the cotton dropper in planting, after the soil has been prepared and the fertilizer applied by tractor equipment. Then the grassing of cotton will be done with a flame thrower rather than by hoeing. If mechanical cotton pickers can be obtained for the 1946 harvesting season, these will be thoroughly tested on large farms. On the small owner-operated farms, all types of labor saving machinery will be test ed and the feasability of custom harvesting will be studied. definite plans for a series of de monstrations have not been com pleted hut studies will be made during the coming harvesting sea son.

The Spanish govern ment, in a communique, said La val had been held in the country as a result of his request to be allowed to surrender to the United Nations, instead of to France alone, j which already has condemned him to death in his absence. After the United Nations failed 1 to accept Laval’s offer, the com munique said, Laval was asked to leave because a prolonger stop in Spain ‘‘might lead to the sup position" the Spanish government was acting contrary to “its deci sion to shelter no high political emigre.” (The British foreign office In ; London disclosed that Britain had piade representations to Spain on | Laval’s action in seeking sane- I tuary .there.) (A Paris broadcast heard in! London quoted a Madrid dispatch as saying Laval had declared last night that he would “do all in his power to avoid returning to France,” where he faces trial on treason charges). The German pilots gained alti- i tude over the field and turned due j north toward the French frontier, j French planes were reported waiting at the border town of Per pignan to escort Laval to a pre arranged destination. Officially the plane is ordered to return to its point of departure, Bolzano, Italy, but the Spanish government has no control of the craft once it leaves Spain. An absentee death sentence al- j ready has been passed on Laval, but it has been tne practice to re try defendants in person when they are caught. PAUL Starts On Page One French state." Weygand himself is under arrest on charges of undermining the Army’s will to resist. He was su preme allied commander of the land forces at the time of the French defeat. The prosecution and its witnesses have listed Weygand as one of the principal participants in France’s decision to seek an armistice from the Germans. Defense attorneys indicated they expected to take more than a week to place all of their 46 witnesses on the stand. Valdese Airman Dies After Short Illness VALDESE.

Nimitz told of widespread dam age inflicted to ground installa tions and factories fringing the inland sea but remained silent on any further activity of the third fleet since plunging back into the Tokyo area yesterday. Tokyo acknowledge the destroy er bombardment and reported the great allied fleet was still roving Japanese waters. Shortly after midnight a fast destroyer raced into Suruga gulf 80 miles southwest of Tokyo and hurled five-inch shells at the in dustrial and transportation city of Shimizu. The city of 68.000. which once handled most of Japan’s tea exports, houses Nippon’s largest aluminum plant and lies athwart the major railway line. HAMAMATSU SHELLED Twelve hours previously a heav ier bombardment force, led by the U. S. Battleship Massachusetts and the British battleship King George V shelled the railway bottleneck city of Hamamatsu, 45 miles south west of Shimuzu. Nimitz’ regular communique to day contained only preliminary reports of results at Hamamatsu, including damage to big raiway shops with several buildings gut ted; and aircraft propellor factory, military barracks and industrial buildings aflame, and other struc tures hit heavily. One cruiser reported nine of its broadsides straddled the three mile Bentenjima bridge, and a battleship reported its sheels strad dled the Tenryu estuary bridge, both vital to Japan’s industrial transportation system. HONSHU RAKED Between the two bombardments, great swarms of carrier planes raked the entire southern end of Honshu island. Tokyo radio said 1,600 planes kept up the attack for 13 hours yesterday, starting at dawn. Admiral Nimitz’ revised report on Saturday’s devastating strike said the blow cost the allied forces 27 U.
