It’s up to men in the indus-
try to put cotton back on its
felt in the South, ginmen There
for the West Texas Ginners
association convention were
told this morning by Max
Bentley in his address of wel-
come.
Bentley said it has been
proven that the government’s
program on subsidies, price peg-
ging and crop control has failed
to put the No. 1 cash crop of
The South back on firm footing
and that it is up to ginners to
find the way.
The answer is volume produc-
tion, he said, and that can be
achieved through quality, with bet-
tel-planting seed being used and im-
proved farming practices being em-
ployed.
Now that the war is over, the
time has come when every man
must stand on his own feet and
meet, stiff competition, Bentley
said in pointing to what synthetics
are doing to the cotton business. He
said cotton is now being pitted
against products of nature and that
he hoped cotton would hold firm
to the position taken during the
we when Army and Navy found
there was no substitute for the vir-
gin product.
Regularly scheduled morning
speakers were Fritz Lichte, cotton
EA, specialist of Texas A. & M
college and C. B. Spencer, national
cotton seed products association,
Dallas.
John C. Thompson, secretary
of the Texas Cotton Ginners
association, is to lead a round

By the Associated Press
The Tokyo radio said today the latest checkup on dam-
age done by atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Na-
gasaki showed that 480,000 persons were killed, injured or
made homeless in the two Japanese cities.
The broadcast, recorded in New York by the Asso-
ciated 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 the course of the raids.
Since the raid on Hiroshima took place during working hours
in the morning and the atomic bomb hit the central part of
the city, casualties were tre-
mendous, with more than 60,-
000 killed according to latest
figures available.
“The number of dead is
mounting, as many of those who
received burns cannot survive
their wounds because of the
uncanny effects the atomic
bomb produces on the human
body. Even those who received
minor burns looked quite
healthy at first only to weaken
after a few days from some un-
known reason and frequently
died.
"Since the explosion of the atomic
bomb affected an area of 30 kilo-
meters in diameter and practically
all houses in this area were either
blown up, knocked down or reduced
by fire, it is difficult to count all
of the bodies, many of which are
buried under collapsed buildings.
The sight of women and children
wounded by the explosion defies
description.
The explosion of the atomic
bomb apparently continues to
build up increased pressure after
the first impact of the explosion,
Sutezo Torii, Japanese defense
headquarters technician, said
today in a report on a detailed
study of the first atomic explos-
ion at Hiroshima.
Torii noted that persons who wit-

An appeal to the people of Tay-

bonds and to hold those they al-
ready own was made here this
morning by C. M. Caldwell, chair-
man of war bond sales and drives
since early in the war.
"I don’t think we’re buying
as we should this month," said
Caldwell. "I have just received
a letter from State War Fi-
nance committee headquarters
in Dallas saying that the gov-
ernment needs money now as
much as it ever has .Bringing
the boys home and giving them
the proper care and the proper
start is the biggest job we’ve
ever had.
"I want to be patriotic in war
time and help my government and
our young manhood but I believe
it is just as important, if not more
so, to be patriotic in peace time.

CHUNGKING, Aug. 22.-
(AP)—Japan’s formal surren-
der to China will be signed in
Nanking, former seat of Gen-
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s
government, cabinet Spokes-
man P. H. Chang announced
today.
Semi-official sources said the
signing would not take place,
however, until after Gen. Mac-
Arthur’s formal signing with the
Japanese. —
Foreign office spokesman K. C.
Wu said today that Chinese troops
might be flown into Nanking,
Shanghai, Peiping and Tientsin
"even before Japan’s formal sur-
render."
Meanwhile, Japanese surren-
der envoys conferred at Chih-
kiang, 230 miles southwest of
Chungking, with Gen. Ho Ying-
Chin, commander of China’s
field forces, who was designated
by the Chinese generalissimo to
arrange for the capitulation of
all enemy forces in Chifla.
Gen. Ho handed the Japanese
emissaries a memorandum specify-
ing the areas which would be occu-
pied by the Chinese and naming the
Chinese appointed to take them
over.

General MacArthur an-
nounced today that a double
barrelled landing in Japan
next Tuesday will send troops
ashore near Tokyo backed by
the full power of the Ameri-
can fleet in Tokyo bay while
he lands with airborne troops
at the nearby Atsugi air-
drome.
The supreme commander of
| Allied occupation forces made
this disclosure in announcing
surrender instructions to Japan.
Paratroops will descend at Atsugi,
about 10 miles from Tokyo, while
naval and Marine forces simul-
taneously go ashore near Yokosuka,
sight of one of Japan’s three largest
naval bases. Yokosuka is on Sagami
bay, near the mouth of Tokyo boy.
Signing of the surrender in-
strument, the instructions said,
"will be in the Tokyo area on
August 31."
There has been speculation that
this historic act would take place on
some American warship, perhaps in
Tokyo bay, but today’s instructions
did not support this.

the submersibles must proceed to

The safety and well being of
all United Nations prisoners of
war and internees will be
“scrupulously preserved." It was
specified that this includes ade-
quate food, shelter, clothing and
medical care until MacArthur ..

that local delivery of American
dropped supplies will be insured.

WASHINGTON, Aug 22—-
The new sugar stamp valid Sept. 1
will maintain the current ration-

The household ration has to stay
tight because sugar supplies are
so short. The total is about 25 per-

Men coming away from the scene said that former Prime Minister
Churchill, and later Prime Minister Attlee, also appeared to like the
quiet, businesslike way in which Mr Truman cut wordy disagreements
short with smiling, but brisk finality.
The odds are a hundred to one that Mr. Truman will never leave
the United States again to attend a Big Three meeting, if there
is one. His view is that the next one should be held in Washington.
He proposed just that in the final hour of the Berlin conference.
