'There is a well defined rumor float­ ing arojxtad Washington that the Jap­ anese are trying desperately to find soma way to get out, of this war as quickly and as easily as possible. Japanese induatrslists and financiers Who do not wish to see their property destroyed, as were those of Germany, a n . said to be urging „peace~by nego­ tiation as quickly as it can ho arrang­ ed. America and Britain are standing pat On unconditional usurrender and are preparing to force it by weight of arms. President Truman has told the world—and especially the Japan­ ese *—just what unconditional surren­ der will mean fo r' Japan. His stat- inent was considered good diplomacy and effective psychological warfare. I t will take- four or five months to concentrate the fu ll. American and British powpr against Japan.

President Ttfuman has announced his opposition to any reduction in Federal taxes, either on ' individuals \ warded Hazel Miller Stremmel or corporations, until after Japan is j gainst Roger and Ruth Miller, defeated. ThiB means there is little - • r no liklihood of tax relief before 1946, a t least.

Such an ar­ rangement would, of Course, be very hiee for the thousands of highly paid bureaucrats in the Office of War In­ formation, but it would endanger the freedom of the press and create an Intolerable situation. Consequently the Davis announcement brought • down a storm of criticism. President Truman promptly moved into the breech by announcing no such a r ­ rangement -was contemplated or Would be permitted, and quietly biifc firmly put “Uncle Elmer’* Davis to his place by stating he (Davis) Vas misinformed as to the Government’s polity Flans are now being made for on rly meeting of Churchill, Truman Stalin to talk over “Big Three** iwaiters.

The short growth is due to lack, of nitrogen in the soil, fast growth in March, and recent temperatures too low for normal growth. - An application of nitrogen fertil­ izer will stimulate growth, .to help meet the pasture requirements. An alternative is to pasture wheat likely to lodge. July pasture can be secured by sowing Sudan grass a t the rate of 25 pounds per acre.

Training By an almost throe-to-one majority Farm Bureau members ^sampled thru a poll conducted among Advisory Councils throughout Ohio, rejected suggestion “Should all 18-year old boys be given, compulsory military training after the wav?” According to Carl R. Hutchison, of the Education Department, Ohio Farm^Bureau, who conducted the poll, the .actual count was 1,121 for, and 3,200 against. Sentiment was more evenly divided, however, on the ques­ tion “Are 18-year olds old enough to vote?” Returns oh this question were: Yes, $2,500; No, 1,989. Farmers who participated in the poll indicated their, belief that 1945 food production would be harmed ser­ iously by further calling of 18 to 25 year-old boys into aimed service. Of the 4,501 polled, only 32 thought more inductions would have no effect pn food production this year; Cedarville High Teaut Shiite Out Concord Cedarville Hi Baseball -nine by the Monday victory over Champaign county Concord team on the kudson Field diamond, Dayton, in the state Class B tournament will go to Colum­ bus to represent Greene county.
