JAPAN Starts On Page One fully the provisions of Potsdam de claration in orderly and systematic fashion while maintaining general order and not throwing the coun try into confusion; "Second, food, clothing and shel ter for the people; “Third, unemployment, which will total an estimated 15,000,000 persons.” Higashi-Kuni said “mere recovery of reconstruction” of Japan was in sufficient, asserting, “We intend to build a completely new and peace ful Japan; we intend to build a country of high moral principles and culture. I think it will require vears for us to complete this task. OLD AND NEW “All our internal inconsistencies will be brought to light as a result of Japan's defeat. The conflict be tween the old and the new may take the form of a struggle among political parties or of strikes, but I do not think such conflicts should be avoided. “It is my firm belief that a new Japan, progressive and just, will be born as a result of these conflicts.” i Higashi-Kuni said it was his per sonal opinion that the start of the Superfortress raids marked the turning point in the war. CAUSE OF DEFEAT Asked for what he considered the causes of Japan's defeat, the pre mier wrote; “The first was because morality has lost its hold in Japan. We can say one reason for our tragedy was that no great statesman appeared in Japan. We can also count as one reason lack of courage on the part of the Japanese people to defend justice, so they were unable to cor rect the mistaken guidance of mili tarists and Dureaucrats. “Then, also, our army leaders miscalculated the actual strength of the United States. “But the question boil6 down to this: Looking at it from all an gles, Japan fought so she could not but lose and ’America fought so she could not but win.” "It is my belief,” he said, “that the new Japan which will emerge will be shorn of militarism and will be as peace-loving as the United States.” CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their many deeds of kindness in the sickness and death of our dear husband and father, Elam McSwain. Also we wish to express our apprecia tion for the beautiful floral offer ig and the doctors for their faith ful service and kindness to us.— Mrs. Elam McSwain and Family.

This assembly, chosen from representatives in the lower hous es of the provincial legislatures, would have the task of framing India's permanent constitution, All said. Indian leaders said they ex pected more information on the subject when Viceroy Lord Wavell returns from England Saturday. Lord Wavell was believed to have discussed with British government officials the reasons for the failure of the recent SIMLA conference, possibly with the view of obtain ing authority to overcome obsta cles encountered there. The conference, held earlier this summer, was deadlocked over the inability of leaders of the domin ant congress party and the Mos lem league, leading minority group, to a:ree on representation on a governing council for India as proposed by Wavell. EICHELBERGER Starts On Pag* On* cult for me at times t« exercise that degree of patience which is unquestionably demanded if the longtime policies whieh have been decreed are to be suc cessfully accomplished without reversussions whirh would be detrimental to the well-being of the world, but I am restrain ing myself to the best of my ability and I am generally satis fied with the progress being made.” The supreme commander observ ed that. In view of the "atrocities rommitted by th^ enemy,” impa tience on the part of the Allied peoples to have the surrender terms rapidly carried out was but a nat ural impulse. CAREFUL PROCEDURE Fulfillment of that desire can be accomplished only through care ful procedure, he asserted, but pro mised : “The surrender terms aren’t soft and they won’t be applied In kid glove fashion.” Meanwhile, the Japanese govern ment reported to eighth army headquarters that most of the form- ; er Nipponese leaders of the Mac Arthur's “wanted" list were in custody. Another former government offi cial, Lt. Gen. Chikahlko Koizumi,; welfare minister in the Japanese “Pearl Harbor cabinet”, took his life by the traditional hara Kiri method. His former premier, Gen. Hideki Tojo, continued to improve in a U. S. army hospital from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Koizumi was on the list of more than 40 former war leaders, Black Dragon society members and brutal prison commanders and guards whom. the Japanese undertook to round up. Supreme headquarters gave no reason for suspension of Domei, and the order came without warning. BOOK NEEDS PRESENTED A program on the Shelby Pub lic Library and the Bookmobile I was presented to the Klwanls club last night by Mrs. Dan Paul with Alger Hamrick in charge of the program. Some fun was injected into the program when Henry Edwards had the names of three members drawn from a hat, each to make a plea of one minute as to why he should receive a pound of scarce bacon. Andrew Lattimore, Vick Breeze and Ogburn Lutz presented their pleas, and the audience, by their applause, awarded the bacon to Miss Virginia McMurry, librar ian, reviewed the work of the li brary, telling the number of books on the shelves, how worn ones are restored, number of books used by patrons and gave a financial report on its operation. BOOKMOBILE Mrs. Paul then presented Mrs. Grace Cummings in charge of the bookmobile which serves readers outside of Shelby over nine routes, making two trips monthly. Thou sands of people are availing them selves of books and it is planned to carry out the recommendation of the state that waiting station be established in populous sec tions where books will be left for reading. Mrs. Paul told of the rapid growth of the Shelby library and her hope that it will soon be ac credited. Space is now provided at the City Hall but the shelving and reading tables are Inadequate and she expressed the hope that when the recreation center is fin ished, more space will be provid ed for the public library in that building. Mrs. Paul also expresses the hope that some provision will be made to make the facilities of the library available to colored peo ple of the community.

Members of the senate group generally expressed satisfaction with the army's plans. They'll hear the navy’s story Monday. 4. Secretary of War Stimson de fended the army in a letter to a congressman. He said the point discharge system may not be the only solution but "it is the very best one we could contrive.’’ Under the present system of un employment pay. the state govern ment does the paying. The unem ployment bill, as it reaches the senate, provides federal cash for: —Bringing federal employes and maritime workers Into tho system (they don’t get anything now). —Travel expenses mp to BN for war workers stranded away from home. —Lengthening the period of benefits for people now enti tled to receive state payments —provided the state approves. If a person's state payments now run less than 36 weeks, federal cash would be added to stretch them to that point—except that no pay period would be Increased more than 60 per cent. Thus, If a person is entitled to only 10 weeks now, he would get 16 weeks. These extra payments would be at the existing weekly rates. WAINWRIGHT Starts Oh Pact Om nlng with which they conceal their true nature, and how quickly It leaps forth when there la no Im mediate chance of retaliation, xx "The Japanese are not sorry for what they have done to countless thousands in the populations of countries they have overrun. "They are not sorry for the tor ture they have inflicted on Am erican soldiers. It simply would not occur to them to be sorry, be cause they have done nothing which is at variance with their ac cepted philosophy.” Frenchwomen To Get Ration Of Tobacco PARIS, Sept. 14. —(A5)— French women will receive a tobacco ra tion like their menfolk starting in December, a finance ministry an nounced today.

Conceding that supplies of soane types of meats—particu larly lower and medium grades of beef, lamb and mutton — have increased sufficiently in recent weeks to warrant fur ther easing—if net the end— of rationing, this official said entry ef British and other ex port buyers into the market could easily soak up a con siderable portion of the extra supplies. Thus removal of rationing be fore export requirements have been determined might result in re newed shortages, poor distribution and revival of black markets af ter foreign buying began.

"Every precaution should be con tinued in the Bahama Islands and along the north coast of Cuba. "The entire Florida peninsula should remain on the alert for lat er advices and possibly warnings later today and tonight.” Nearly 1.000 troops in the Miami area were set to work this morning clearing away debris, signs and other loose objects which might be swept away and transformed into death-dealing missiles by the storm. Over 130 tents in the ATC's •‘greeit city*’, where aerial returnees from Europe's battlefields awaited redistribution in Miami, were tak en down, and wooden frames were anchored securely.

The State hospital at Morganton indicated that if it had room it would take the child temporarily but that it had 300 on its wait ing list.
