Soviet Opens Doors
To Gen. Wainwright
CHUNGKING, Aug. 22—(P) — in Korea was in radio communica-
tion with Chungking, but had no-
Japanese red tape delaying Lt. Gen.
Jonathan M Wainwright's depar-
ture from Manchuria, where he has
been a prisoner of war, apparently
was cut today by Soviet authori-
ties.
A message from an American
airborne humanitarian team at
Mukden quoted Russian officer#
as saying last night that a B-
M4 Liberator was en route to
Hsian, 100 miles to the north-
east, to fetch Wainwright, who
has been a prisoner there with
seven Americans and 26 other
Allied nations.
It was expected here that the hero
3 Corregidor would be flown to
Chungking shortly after his arrival
in Mukden. American authorities
were known to be working to ex-
pedite his transfer to Chungking
and no further difficulties were
foreseen.
S The Japanese, apparently
fearful of taking any action
that might cause difficulties
with the Russians, previously
were reported delaying Wain-
wright's departure pending So-
ayiet approval.
“ The humanitarian team at the
Mukden prison camp also disclosed
that a Russian mission which ar-
rived there last evening had im-
mediately ousted__the Japanese
guards and placed Maj. Gen. George
M Parker Jr., ranking American
officer at the camp, in full charge
Parker was captured during the
battle of Bataan peninsula.
Reports from the other humani-
tarian team at Peiping said all in-
trnees there—including 117 Ameri-
cans, 33 Netherlands-and a num-
ber of Britons—had been moved
into hotels. The condition of the
internees was said to be as good as
could be expected.
The team at Weihsien in
@province asked for additional
medical supplies but said there
was no great emergency. The In-
ternees there held a dance last
night in honor of the team.

U. S. Pleased at
Finn Elections
WASHINGTON, Aug 22.—(PH-
Finland has walked the second mile
on the road leading back to her
traditional position of friendship
with the United States.
The State department, deeply
concerned with forthcoming elec-
tions in other European countries,
took time out recently to study re-
ports on the Finnish elections of
last March. It liked what it found.
Voting was “freely conduct-
ed" and the election expressed
“the Democratic wishes of the
Finnish people,” Secretary of
State Byrnes announced. He
added that this country now
will welcome re-establishment
of diplomatic relations. These
were broken off June 30. 1944,
shortly after Finnish Minister
Hjalmar J. Procope and three
aides were ordered out of the
country.
Praise for the Finnish elections
was in sharp contrast to the State
department’s attitude on plans for
elections in Bulgaria next Sunday.
Byrnes cautioned Saturday that
the United States did not regard
the current Bulgarian government
as representative and did not be-
lieve a democratic election had
been assured
The Finnish news also was
in contrast to the disclosure
Monday that Russia had refus-
ed to join with the United
States, Britain and France in
helping bring about free elec-
tions in Greece.
Finland walked the first mile
back toward American friendship
on Sept. 5. 1944, when she quit
her war against Russia
That three-year effort alongside
Nazi Germany destroyed most of
the good will the Finns had built

PEARL HARBOR EXPLODES AGAIN-WITH JOY—When the flash came that Japan had
surrendered, colored flares, fired from every ship at Pearl Harbor, created the spectacu-
lar fireworks seen in large photo. None who saw it could help but be reminded of the grim-
mer pyrotechnical display of three years, eight months and seven days before, when the
Jap sneak attack created the scene shown in the inset.

ing that war’s aftermath often has
been home front unrest, discontent

ties of those men who made this
peace possible.”
He added:
