PACIFIC:
Peace Talk
First heard after G-srr-ar.v s coJ-
i*P>xe. Jap peace talk gained rr.o-
ir.tr.tu.T at the B:g Three conferee**
us Berlin, with the a test impetus
provided by the statement of Sena-
tor Wherry (Rep Net ) tr.at a high
military scarce had informed him
that President Trumar. had been
asked to outline specific surrender
terms to bring about a cessation cf
hostilities
Though Wherry d.d not revea. tre
identity at the persons involved, it
was recalled that Capt E M Za-
charies of the U. S navy m. broad-
casting an appeal to Japanese eid-
ers to jive up the fight, had declared
that influential people m t*e U S.
hoped to avert the destruction of
toe enemy
Speaking for the government Za-
charias sought to assure tne enemy s
military hierarchy that surrender
had precedent in history as an hon-
orable means of realistically acced-
ing defeat, and mat the alterna-
tive to quitting now and enjoy-g the
aelf-determination of the Atlantic
charter was prolongation of the
struggle and national annihilation
According to Wherry, the appeal
to Presidert Truman to "stop the
slaughter of America- boys and Jap-
anese civilians” was couched in a
letter urging him to assure tne Nip-
ponese that after urr mdittor.al sur-
render the integrity of the emperor
wou-d be preserved and he would
be permitted to orga-.ze a govern-
ment satisfactory to the U S Fur-
ther. Jap social and religious free-
dom: s would be respected.
While the letter stated that mili-
tary occupation was not considered
necessary, an A! :ed commission
would supervise destruction of war
mdust-y In conformance with t-e
Cairo declaration, the letter said
the enemy should be compel.ed to
give up Manchuria. Korea and For-
mosa and withdraw from other
Asiatic and Pacific conquests
Meanw-;le, the B.g T-ree meet in
Benin pointed the peace talk,
with Premier Stalin reportedly bear-
ing Jap terms to the conference, and
Presiden’ Trurr.an supposedly carry-
ing s.-render conditions demanding
dubardment of Jap forces, rehn-
quishment of Manchuria, Korea.
Formosa and oth.er conquests, and
Allied supervision over enemy .ndus-

FRANCE:
Historic Drama
Attired ■ a dress uniform of a
marshal with seven stars os each
s.eeve. and wearing
a single bronre mil-
tary medal or a
yellow and green
ribbon Marshal
H»nn Petain faced
a French court on a
charge of high trea-
son in a trial that
threatened to split
the already war-
torn country,
Famed as prose-
cutor of World War
I spy. Mata Han. aged Andre Mcr-
net directed the state's case, accus-
ed the marshal of plotting against
t.ne republic; abandoning Indo-Cfcma
to the Japs; supplying Axis armies,
contributing to the German war ma-
chine by forr.3h.irg French material
and manpower; ordering the scut-
tling of the country's fleet, and op-
posing Aided North Afr.can landings.
Standing before a jury made up of
former liberation leaders and pre-
war panamentanans. Petain stoutly
declared
I remained the read of the coun-
try under occupation. Can you un-
derstand the difficulty of a govern-
ment in such conditons’ I had
a dagger at my throat every day.
I fought the demands of the enemy.
While General De Gaulle pur-
sued the struggle beyond the bor-
ders I prepared the way for ’ibera-
tun by preserving a sorrowing but
living France
W-h..e Petain cia.med to have ne-
gotiated the arm..st;ce after corjui-
tations wr»h French mihury lead-
ers. former Premier Paul Reynaud
charged him with being responsible
for cessation of hostilities despite a
so.emn pact with Bnu.n not to
make a separate peace
HOME FRONT:

Due to cutbacks in army procure-
ment increased supp ies of both
meat and shoes are in the off.ng
Though p^rk stocks will continue to
remain tight, more beef, veal and
lamb are expected to reach butch-
ers counters with point reductions
scheduled for August Reflecting the
increased supplies to civilians fed-
erally inspected packers have been
ordered to set as.de but 25 per cent
of their army-style beef m compari-
son with previous allotments of A3

Impact." a publication of the of-
fice of the assistant chief of am stiff
mte.lgerve bra.ncr for the first
time -ft-ng tre vei. which ras cev-
ered descriptions of radar says suc-
cinctly “A radar set 3 nothing
mere than a mact:re for sead.r.g
electrons out into space m a rteary
stream ir. a desired direction T'e**
etectroee travel wit*- the speed cf

energy 3 d ssipated or unless they
bump into somet-ir.g '*
Thet bump 3 important If a
stream of electrons 3 shot into tne
a.r like a search, ght and a pl^ne
fl.es across the stream, the elec-
tror3 which hit the plane bounce
back. They bounce nght back to a
screen a the radar scope and are
revealed ir. t-e form of a "blip '
of light just as an echo bouna.-g
back on your eardrum, is reflected
a the form of a sound
The pracip.e of the rea: ec*c is
used a "sonic location of obsta-
r es—snips use it to locate s.noals
for ..-.stance And recently it pas
oeer. demonstrated that bats use
the same principle a avoiding ob-
stacles (whah they can t see since
they are blind by uttering a tiny
"beep.” the pitch of which 3 prob-
ably too iugr. for me human ear to

But radar's electronic "blip ts
better than a sonic "beep ” One
reason 3 mat an electron moves
with the speed of light which is fast-
er than sound

Ordinarily electrons pu.-s-e the

that It has made it p>.-s*.b;e to

Poke Oat
Jape' 'Eyet
One of the reasons why I wo Jura
and Okinawa were so important, be-
sides the fact that they make ex-
ce.ier.t naval and air bases. 3 be-
cause the Japs had their radar de-
tection stations oe these islands and
were able to detect the presence of
rur bombers and intercept their
flight. You will also recall that a
number of little adjacent islands
that hardly seemed of any impor-
tance were seized by our troops
!n all probability it was because
they had radar installations which
coud detect and give warning of
planes leaving the larger aland for
Japan As we put out her "eyes ’
one after another. Japan becomes
more imp-tent There have been
many cases you may have noticed,
were the Japs, on land or on small
snips, have been taker, by surprise
I have no information on this sub-
ject. but in some cases it may have
been due to the fact that they
acked rada- e-ipment It is to-
lieved that wr.at radar knowledge
Jipar has came from tne Germans
Of course there 3 one phase of
radar detection which m the past
tas sometimes prevented use of
da-a concerning the detection of a
p.ane or s- .p That is the fact that
un-.: the object »s very close it can-
r.<.\ be id*-life: It 3 merely a
bhp of light Therefore, it u im-
y s*;- ® to te friend and enemy
apart Some sort of identification
r.as bee- developed details of which
are sti.l, I believe, top secret "
Ar example of hew this worked to
tee disadvantage of tre British was
sr the e-gagemer.! ir. which HMS
Hour: was Wst Or May 21, mi,
t e Hood was ljirg :n the strait b»
tween Iceland and Greenland w en

m.arck was. but knowing that a

m t-e vicinity, did not dare to take
the chance of attacking first
Many impr vements have beers
made in radar which are not as yet
ready for the public eye and a!,
