FUNNY BUSINESS -uJS'Z (-15 Off "So what if there are some strings missing! I patched the screen door, didn't I? How Fleet Heard Surrender News in 1945 Editor's Note: The follow ing dispatch is by a United Press war correspondent who is now United Press manag er for Japan. By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press' Staff Correspondent TOKYO, Aug. 10 (UP) It was just three years ago today. Three British naval officers and I stood on the bridge of the battle ship King George V. Along the horizon to the east of us were the outlines of Ameri can battleships. To the north were giant American aircraft carriers. To the west was Japan. For s'everal days the combined British and American fleet units under the command of Admiral William F. Halsey had been run ning up and down the coast of Japan. Planes for the carriers had swarmed over the Japanese islands. The big guns of the battleships had pounded the coast from close range. The News Arrives We on the bridge stood there looking. We always were looking looking for kamikazes (suicide planes), looking, for submarines, just looking. Nobody said much. We were tired. Then suddenly some body shouted the news: "The radio says Japan has' offered to sur render!"" That was all we knew. And we didn't know if it were true! or not. But that was enough. The weariness of months and months was suddenly lifted from those men who had seen so much of war. Toasts Drank They laughed and joked. They waited for more information, but somehow they felt that it really was over. Little by little we got the de tails of the Japanese offer. Japan was willing to surrender if the Allies would leave Emperor Hir ohito on the throne. It was difficult for us to sleep that night, for two reasons. First, everybody was ordered to his battle station for fear that the Japanese surrender offer was some sort of a trick to make us drop our guard. AH-Xight Wait Second, everybody was won dering what was going to hap pen. We waited all night. Then came news that President Truman had replied to the Japa nese offer. On behalf of all the Allies, he said the emperor would be permitted to remain on the throne for the time being, sub ject to the Commander for the Allied occupation forces. President Truman also said that the emperor's future status had to be determined in a popu lar election "by the freely ex pressed will of the Japanese peo ple." The decision once more rested with the Japanese. It took them until Aug. 14 to make up their minds. On Aug. 14, 1945, Japan surrendered un conditionally. WRONG WIFE BURIED SO HUSBAND SUES CHICAGO (U.R) Samuel Pierce, 146, sued the Metropolitan funeral parlors for $20,000 to compensate ! him for "great pain, anguish and j embarassment" suffered when i he learned they had mixed up the ! burials of his wife and another woman. In his suit, he said that when he attended funeral services for his wife, attendants, told him a "horrible mi&ake''&-'had ' betn made But 200' mourners heard i the services for Mrs. Katie Pierce, 3S, in spite of the absence of a body. Later, he said, Mrs. Pierce's body was found in a grave, where it had been buried after having beon confused with that of an other woman. By Hershberger 1 Dakota Women Rise in Arms For Their Rights By GLENN MARTZ United Press Staff Correspondent BISMARK, N. D. (UR) North Dakota women admit it's their own fault that more members of their sex are not represented in s'tate administrative offices. They say they've hidden thek light under a bushel too long. Now they're doing something about it. As a result the governor of North Dakota is going to learn things. Wrhen Hettie Blythe, past pres ident of 'the state Business and Professional Women's Clubs', can take time off from her classes at Valley City State Teachers Col lege, she is going to present Gov. Fred Aandahl with a "Who's Who Among Women in North Dako ta." List Compiled The list, composed of names submitted by the s'tate's business and professional women, has been compiled. It contains the names of more than 50 of the state's most outstanding women deemed eligible to administrative posts in state government. Several other women's clubs in the state, including the Uni versity Women and P.E.O. Sis ters, have prepared similar lists for distribution among state de partment heads. The idea developed when the governor was asked why he didn't appoint a woman to fill a vacancy on the state board of administration. Aandahl was quoted as admit ting that he "wasYi't too familiar with the talents of North Dakota women." Women Scont Talent That's when women club lead ers went into a huddle and decid ed to turn talent scouts. Miss Helen Iorns of the state department of instruction, who is state chairman of the "Business and Professional Women's Policy Making Posts for Women Com mittee," immediately ordered a survey within the ranks of her organization. "It was amazing to see how many illustrious names were sud mitted," she said. She addept: "I only hope the men don't make fun of us. We are serious. We feel we have many women in the s'tate who would do better in some administrative posts than men." Nebraska Puts Land Back to Grass Nebraska has returned 80,970 acres of land back to grass dur ing the past year to conserve its soil. The figure is based on a report compiled by R. I. Throckmorton, chairman of the Great Plains Ag ricultural Council's Committee on Conditions. Mr. Throckmorton is director of the Kansas Experi ment Station at Manhatton. The report presents figures on conditions of ranges and pastures in Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Da kota, Texas and Wyoming. Ne braska ranks among the top two in returning land to grass. The other is North Dakota with 149. 490 acres returned to grass by natural revegetation and artifi cial seeding. Nebraska also low in the num ber of acres cf grass broken up during the ?Dast year. - The state broke up-52,965; Otficr- lovy ; fig ures are Oklahoma 24,480, Wy oming 52,480 and New Mexico 56,260. Largest number of acres broken up was Colorado. Only in a few counties in Ne braska will the vegetation be in adequate to meet grazing needs, the report states. It does not name the counties'. Response of Reserve Officers Surges in Area Interest on the part of reserve officers in volunteering for re turn to active duty has surged by 200 percent in the last ten days. Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker, Fifth Army com mander announced today. Number of applications receiv ed during the last ten days of July, he said, is more than double the number on hand during the first three weeks of the month. General Walker attributed the increase largely to the wide spread publicity given the pro gram in the Fifth Army area, and to the concerted effort on the part of the civilian component organizations (Organized Re serves and Nat'l Guard) to ori ent all members with army re tirements. Earlier this month, General Walker cited the lack of response to the drive for 5,000 officers which the army announced it would need by the end of July to carry out its training mission, as imposed by enactment of Se lective Service legislation. He estimated at that time that the Fifth Army. Area, largest in the country, should be able to pro vide 1,000 volunteers. While the number of applica tions received falls far short of requirements, results the past several days indicate recognition by reservists of the urgency cf this program, General Walker s'aid. The Fifth Army area during the month of July received a to- tal of 378 applications, he said. It approved 273 applications dur ing the same period for forward ing to Washington. Approximate ly 294 applications from the Army Area were given final ap proval at department of the army level during the month of July. This total, he explained, includ ed a backlog from previous months. Cost of Vacation Joins Rush of Upward Prices MINNEAPOLIS (U.R) You can't win when it comes to vaca tions this year. Take a trip, even a short one nothing fancy and it will cost from 20 to 100 per cent more than it did in 1940. Maybe just stay at home and roast wieners in the back yard? Nope. Wieners are nearly three times as" expensive as in 1940 and wiener buns are up about 90 per cent. That cruise from New York to Nassau, Havana and Miami is an example. A little pinching here and there, and the wanderer could scrape up $120 for the 12 day trip in 1940. Now the same cruise costs $218.50 minimum, an increase of 82 per cent. Almost all the trips are the same way, with one-third or one fourth of the increase due to transportation taxes. The rest is just plain old inflation in sum mer clothes, according to the family economics bureau of Northwestern National Life In surance Company. Accessories Soar It not only takes more dough to get to the vapation grounds, but such things as sports clothes' and fishing tackle and tennis rackets have zoomed skyward also. The only major drop has been in the area of coverage of wom en's swim suits but the price still increased from 40 to 60 per cent. Golf clubs have about doubled in prices, with 1940's $6 woods now retailing at $10 and irons jumping- from $5 to $10 in the eight years. A steel casting rod that sold for $11. before the war is $17 today, with lower-priced rods in about the same propor tion. Luggage Expensive Another place where inflation and taxes grip the traveler is a 100 per cent rise in the cost of luggage. Cameras have about doubled also, although camera film, along with auto tires, are two of the few items which have increased in price only through added taxes. Gasoline is up about 40 per cenUduring the eight-year span, and the motorist has another thing to worry about when he gets out in the wide open spaces: When' he needs repairs on the car en route, he'll find that spare parts have gone up from 40 to 75 per cent and the mechanic that fixes the car gets 66 per cent more per hour for his labor. The Antarctic winter this year has become, so bleak that even the penguins have.- deserted the in hospitable ice-bound shores of Heard Island, more than 2,000 miles southwest of Perth, Aus tralia.

Compulsory Drill Brings Campus Stir MINNEAPOLIS U.P An old j battle cry is being re-echoed by ! the University of Minn?pota stu dent newspaper, the Minnesota Daily. "Down with compulsory drill!" The Daily led an anti-ROTC fight during the pacifist move ment cf the 1930s and issued a triumphant "extra" edition on graduation day, 1934. when the board of regents abolished com pulsory military training. Since that time the university has had a reserve officers train ing unit, but participation in any part of the four-year course is elective. But a recent suggestion by the j university presiaent. Dr. J. L. Morrill, that compulsory training , be renewed has brought rumol ings of the old battles. Arguments Rejected Morrill told the regents he be lieved lack of a program denied students the right to obtain com missions and failed to permit the j school to do its duty to the coun- try in case of war. ! The student loaders cf the anti- 1 drill fight in 1934 are gone from , the campus now, of coursr. but : the new editors were-quick to; take up the old standard. The arguments "don't stand up ! too well," the Daily said. "There ' is a voluntary program for any- one eligible to get into it. No one ' is being denied anything cn that ' score." ! The Daily added that official j Army reports showed that the ; three-month officer candidate , school produced officers "far ' superior" to those cf college and : university ROTC programs. i Victory in 1934 The 1934 decision to abolish the ' THERE IS STILL SOME . . .

MAKE APPOINTMENT EARLY (For Day or Evening) Sary lae compulsory program was a big victory for the newspaper. Earlier, when feeling ran high on the campus, it had been forbidden to say anything about drill sessions. One of the students, now a Minneapolis attorney, had close to a straight "A" average in stu dies, but balked at attending drill. A military tribunal suspended him for failure to attend, but the stud:nt, years later a voluntary enlistee in the Army Air Force and now a reserve captain, was reinstated by President Lotus D. Coffman. The Daily fought President Coffman in 1934 as it is opposing Morrili now. One peace demon stration was held on the audi torium steps after Coffman denied the use of the auditorium to the demonstrators. Nearly 4.000 stu dents cheered as Gov. Floyd B. Olscn denounced compulsory drill. The present dispute has not reached serious stages, but the Daily has said that any further steps toward reinsti'.uting -drill may bring a new eruption of the bitter light.
