Aug. 22. —(*>)— Gener al Mac Arthur has ordered all Jap anese planes grounded, Tokyo dis closed today in a request lor per mission to use some aircraft in “the prosecution of surrender re quirements.” Attacks by fanatical Nipponese pilots against American ships and photographic planes after the Jap anese capitulation necessitated the original prohibition against rising sun planes flying over Japan. The ban extended to civilian as well as army and navy planes. Imperial general headquarters, acknowledging the ban today, re quested the supreme allied com mander for permission to use a limited number of unarmed planes for surrender liaison operations. The message which concluded with "thanks” said the planes would be "marked by attaching red pen nants” and were needed "for var ious urgent liaison matters.” The appeal pointed out that at present MacArthur “prohibits the flights of all Japanese Imperial army, navy and civilian planes.” 9 Tsuchiura • Tatcyama I-Hoio JAPAN ,Chichibu Kawagoe* aOmiya TOKYO Hachioiii Airborne Troops Land Sunday Atsugi r. =:« ?

OTHER GOOD NEWS: New Tires,Nylons, Radios May Be Back On Market Within 90 Days i By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Aug 22.—(tP)—New tires, nylon stock ings, new radios. The government dropped good news about all three into American laps today. Government officials were careful not to speak of an end to rationing. But they said motorists might get a break on new tires within 90 days. They predicted production might from 100 per cent in the next three months. OPA officials said they thought they could hold most of the new peacetime goods—when they reach the stores again—at or near 1942 prices. Nylon iLockings may be back in circulation by Thanksgiving, or at least by Christmas. The government has turned loose its controls on nylon and rayon. It still has a few details to work out about giving permis sion for making nylon hose, this should come quickly. WPB said 3 1-2 million radios may be on the store shelves oy Christmas. The reason: An 80 per cent cut in military orders for ra dar and radio. Rent ceilings are expected to dis appear soon in certain places. For example: In areas where army camps close or war plants shut down and people move away. OPA indicated meat points would be reduced, beginning next month. Agriculture Secretary Anderson al ready has said meat rationing would end soon. BY OCT. 1 WPB said it would scrap its complicated network of controls over allocating materials and set ting up priorities by the end of September. So—by Oct. 1 "CMP”—the Con trolled Materials Plan—goes over board.

Four Japanese generals surren dered yesterday. Dispatches said 250,000 troops were captured on the southern half of Sakhalin island. The officially announced captive toll in Manchuria itself neared 300,000. Occupation proceeded swiftly and the Russians moved toward the naval base of Port Arthur, formerly leased by the Russians but lost in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. The news agency Tass said Soviet troops feund wide open opium dens, houses of prostitution and gambling houses in many Manchurian cities. ON SAKHALIN On Sakhalin island, the Russians said they found the bodies of poli tical prisoners, including two Rus sians and seven Chinese, who had been slashed to death with knives. Two electric chairs were reported found in one jail. Lt. Col.

The broadcast, recorded in New York by the Associated Press, said the bomb which fell on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, killed or injured 160,000 persons and left 200,000 homeless. The bomb which hit Nagasaki on Aug. 9, left 120,000 casualties, the radio report said. The broadcast said “furthermore many persons are dying daily from burns sustained during tne course of the raids. Since the raid on Hir oshima took place during working hours in the morning and the atomic bomb hit the cehtral part of the city, casualties were tremen dous, with more than 60,000 killed according to latest figures available. “The number of dead is mounting, as many of those who received bums cannot survive their wounds because of the uncanny effects the atomic bomb produces on the hu man body. Even those who received minor burns looked quite healthy at See TOKYO Page 2 ^ if DDT SOON TO BE AVAILABLE Average Home Can Be Fly-Mosquito-Free At Simple Cost, Effort WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 —<JP)— DDT, with its death dealing tang for insects, soon will be available in large enough quantities to per mit every person to rid his home of virtually all flies and mosqui toes. And the cost—for mixed-home sprays—will run somewhere be tween $1.75 and $5.25 a year. While officials of two govern ment agencies were disclosing those encouraging facts, however, another cautioned against possible ill effects from too-widespread outdoor use of the powerful insec ticide. The U. 8. fish and wildlife ser vice reported today that while ex periments still are underway, there already is evidence that a single concentrated application destroys birds and that even dilute appli cations are dangerous to fish. CONTROLS END 'Th* A M Lai... came from the -War Production board—which announced that all production controls on DDT will end August 31—and from the U nited States public health service. One U8PHS official said the product should be generally avail able in another month and that a person with a 50-cent hand sprayer, a dollar’s wotrh of DDT powder, a quarter’s worth of kero sene and a little soapy substance should be able to spray his house effectively. In the northern part of the country, he added, one spraying a year might suffice, although three a year are regarded as ideal for year-round protection.

CAPITAL WILL CELEBRATE FOR GEN. DE GAULLE French Chief Will Demand "Big Power" Status For His Nation brings Tull staff By Graham Hovey WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.— (/P)—Washington prepared to day to put on a pre-war style reception for a visiting chief of state—Gen. Charles De Gaulle, provisional president of France. De Gaulle, accompanied by nearly a score of aides, was scheduled to arrive by plane at 4 p.m. (EWT) to get acquainted with President Truman and start a crammed schedule expected to keep him in the United States at least a week. So far as the social calendar is concerned, high points of the visit will come off at the very begin The tall general is to be guest at a White House reception just 30 minutes after his arrival. To night he will hold the place of honor at a presideptial state din ner in the executive mansion. On the French leader’s schedule also is a side trip to Hyde Park N. Y., where he will visit the grave of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He also hopes to visit American industrial and war plants in New York and Chicago and to “see more o£ tb$. United States,” jn hia own words, than he did on his brief trip to see Mr. Roosevelt in July, 1943. "BIG POWER” STATUS But there are more important things on De Gaulle's mind than formal dinners and inspection trips. French officials say the thing De Gaulle would like to obtain more than any other in his first meeting with Mr. Truman is the See CAPITAL Page 2 State Department Shakeup Well On Way To Finish WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. —(/P)— Two top positions already filled, the second State departmertt shakeup in nine months appeared well on the way to completion today. President Truman is expected to appoint at least two more assistant secretaries shortly and reports per sist that at least one more hold over from the "team” of former Sec retary Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., will not remain under Secretary Byrnes. The President yesterday reached into the staff of Gen. George C. Marshall to designate Col. Frank McCarthy, 33. of Richmond, Va., assistant secretary for administra tion. Previously, Mr. Truman naa boosted assistant secretary Dean G. Acheson to undersecretary, succeeding Joseph C. Grew. Mc Carthy replaces Brig. Gen. Ju lius Holmes, who resigned last week. Departure of Nelson A. Rockefel ler, assistant secretary for Latin American relations, has been ru mored ever since Byrnes became secretary. MAY REDUCE NUMBER If the present State Department structure is continued, the President stijl must appoint assistant secre taries to replace Acheson, who had charge of congressional relations and international conferences, and Archibald MacLeish, who directed the department’s cultural and pub lic relations. When he took office last month, however, Byrnes asked the budget bureau to study the department’s structure. On the basis of that study, he and the President may reduce the number of assistant sec retaryships from six to five. NEW POST It is regarded as certain, how ever, that someone will be named to the job held by MacLeish—a new post created last December at the request of President Roosevelt. Assistant Secretaries James C. Dunn and William L. Clayton—who would be the only two holdovers if Rockefeller resigned—are expected to remain. McCarthy, one of the youngest men to be appointed to a top State Department job in recent years, has been secretary of the War Depart ment general staff since Jan. 15, 1944. . J. B.
