It was also a day in which Cong-ess talked morc pay—for itself and jobless people—and of a 30 hour week. ! The latest big question about the atomic bomb was this: should it be used by the United States to keep peace? or should it be tucked away in mothballs and not used at all? Senator Tom Conaily (D-Tex) running off in one direction was al] for using the b.mb to keep world peace. He suggested: The United States should keep the secret of the terrible weapon. but—it should set up a fleet ot atomic bombers ta be used by the Uniteq nationg organization whenever necessary to stop war outbreaks. ! But Senator Mead (D-NY) went off in the opposite direc tion. He was for ncwver using the atomic bomb again,. by anyone. He sugested. " Would Outlaw A-Bomb Just as the nations of the world agreed to outlaw poison gas, they should have an inter national agreement never to use the atomic bomb anymore, (But the nations made poison gag in World War iir—just in case.) 3 . President Truman is going to tell Congress his ideas on the bomb. < There were the other develop ments in the Capitol where— since Congress won't be in ses sion. till Monday—Congressmen talked in their private offices.

It did more to regulate the every-day living of millions of Americans than any other agency in history. * 9. It was on the receiving end of more verbal brickbats than any organization ever set up to help the country in an emergency. 3. It was blamed for doing more things that it didn’t do than any agency, including even the unpopular Prohibition Enforcement Athority. . . . : AS R 2 NTS A BTS iol Tl R tration—was designated as a war time agency, but it is authorized to work against postwar inflation and collapse such as followed World *War I. So it is concentrat ing on trying to keep prices con trolled until supply and demand are fairly well balanced. It also continues to ration scarce essen tial goods. Says OPA Administrator Ches-~ ter Bowles: “I'll be more glad to get rid of regulations than any one in the Unitéd States. But it’s our duty to keep them' until their removal can be safely accomplish ed without unfair distribution of scarce goods or the danger that prices will shoot upward as they idid after World War 1.” . | Funds are available to continue OPA until June 30, 1946.

Poor” Or "Pitiful” State Paving, Water Systems Inadequate And Lack Of Sewerage Is Deplored Fellowing an investigation of municipal needs and the status of public services, three members of the Athens City Council have come forth with a lengthy report to Mayor Beb McWhorter in which they de nounce the status of the water, street and sewer sys tems here in terms ranging from “poor” to “pitiful.” Observers Believe l Armall Will Become Solicitor General ATLANTA, Sept. 8 —(AP)— High state administration sources predicted today that Governo: Ellis Arnall will formally receive and accept appointment as U. S. solicitor general in the near fu ture. . These sources, which have un erringly forecast devlopments in state affairs since the 38-year old Arnall took office in January, 1943, foresaw his departure for Washington not latec than De cember 15, with Senate Presi dent Frank C. Grossz of Toccoa assuming the duties of governor. Bars Special Election Capitol circles speculated that the new Constitution adopted August 7 would be. interpreted s barring..a. speciat - election it name a successor for the unex pired term and that Gross would be acting governor until after the general election in Novem ber, 1946. e They based that speculation on a section of the Constitulion which reads: ) “The first elections for gov ernor, under this Constitulion, shall be held on Tuesday after the first Monday in November of 1946, ang the governor-eiect shall be installed in office at the next session of the General Assembly.” Any attempt to cail or force a special election for governor would violate that section of the Contipued Cp Page Six Brig.

However, he re cently issued an order to “hold the cost-of-living line.” Moreover, sugar is likely to be rationed for another year, and there will be pressure to keep rent controls in some areas for several months. OPA price regulations haye cov ered almost everything the typical American family buys, eats, wears and uses. They applied to some 8,000,000 different commodities and services, from eggs and onions to shee shines, piano tuning and funerals. It regulated at all levels the prices of goods bought and sold by some 3,000,000 establishments. It controlled rentals for some 15 million dwelling units—houses, apartments and rooms in hotels, and boarding houses—in 382 de (Continued on Page Three.) BY O. P. HANES ESTARLISHED 1833 The report is made by the Fu~ ! ture Planning and’ New Industries Committee of the City Council, of which First Ward Councilman C. S. Denny is chairman. Other members of the' committee are Councilmen R. T. Dottery and T. L. Elder. \ ' The committee makes recom mendations as to how the situa tion its members describe can be corrected. Whatever action that is taken must be initiated within ;'yClty Council, because the Coun ¢il alone has authority to initiate the improvements listed by the committee as being necessary. | For some time citizens have urged the adoption of a program ‘of civic improvements here, citing the inadequacy of public services and now the Council’s own com mittee confirms the public’s de mands, it is expected that the Council will immediately take stpes to make improvements its own members, upon investiga tion, find necessary. (Their full report will be published in a la ter issue of the Banper-Herald). The committee claims that thc street paving program here~ has not kept pace with 'the city’s “growth. , . Cites “Dire Need” It asserts that the slowness in paving has created a “dire need” for an extended paving program to catch up. : The investigators assert that “lots” of ‘the streets that are paved are in “poor condition.” The* connection between public health and adequate water and sewer systems were cited by the councilmgn, in reporting on the status of such systems in Athens. The committee declares it will require more than $1,000,000 to carry out a public works program it deems necessary to give Athens what they found is needed to serve the people, as well as to build a SIOO,OOO city abattoir, which it advocates; build a new water tank to replace the on 2 now standing on the city hall lot. and instal la sewerage disposal system, costing $300,000. Mayor McWhorter requested ail members of Council to make a thorough inventory of needs in their own wards, ard Chairman Denny said the report of his com~- mittee was in reply to the Mayor’s request. What action City Coun cil will take to remedy the de fects the committee found and has condemned is not known. - , Lack+of Paving The committee then goes on to criticize the lack of street pav ing in Athens, asserting that nearly two-thirds of the 100 miles of city streets are unpaved, and declaring that “Athens is in dire need of an extended system of paved streets to facilitate travel as well as to aid the comfort of the citizens living on the streets. Lots of our paved streets are in poor condition due to their age and the amount of traffic they have been forced to bear.” The councilmen found that 17.5 percent of the houses in Athens do not have running .water and points ~ out the connection be tween an adequate water system and public health. The report claims. that htere exist “only 60.1 miles of watet mains to out 100 mjles of streets.” The committee asserts that a water tank, larger and of more modern design, should replace the one on the city hall lot, built in 183. The present tank “has about seen its allotted life,” the councilmen assert.

Steps Being Taken To Assure Justice For Jap Criminals BY JOHN A. PARRIS LONDON, Sept. B—(®)— The United Nations War Crifies Com mission disclosed tonight that ex tensive steps are being taken to bring Japanese war criminals to justice. 7 e i Indications were that the num ber of Japanese who will have to }answer for some of the most 'diabolical atrocities ever commit~ ted will far exceed those to be tried in Europe. The first list of Japanese war criminals—all military officers— was submitted to the War Crimes Commission almost a year ago by the United States. | Since the spring of 1944 the War Crimes Commission has devoted particular attention to the ques tion of punishment for Japanese war criminals when it took steps resulting ih the establishment of a Far Eastern and Pacific sub commission. ~ This sub-commission began. its work last November in Chung king under the chairmanship of Dr. Wang Chunghui, former Chi nese judge of the World Court Since then it has examined charges against Japanese war criminals presented by the Chinese govern ment.

S. troops with bayo nets ready, spread their control over more of subdued Tokyo today (Saturday, U. S. time). Behind them additional men, tanks and guns streamed into Japan. g The American flag flew proudly over this devastated capital of a fallen empire, placed there yesterday at the command of General MéicArthur at a brief and simple ceremony in the U. S. embassy grounds. Other soldiers were swaming'i ashore in Korea, under ‘Japanese thralldom since 1910. The Tokyo radio said American rule over the homeland would reach up to Japan’s northernmost limits of Hokkaido by Oct. 4. ; As the Japanese made ready to yield Ominato naval base, 400 miles north of Tokyo, to the U. S. North Pacific Eleet, sixty war ships crowded . into Ominato’s ‘anchorage, Marines in reconnois sance boats prowled the coast line, and naval crews prepared to immobilize all Japanese ship ping in those waters. § A similar drama was being ! enacted at Katsuura naval and| submarine base on Honshu's east ern coast southeast of Tokyo. ! Japs Add To List - Meanwhile, as Army authorities checked war prisoners’ atrocity stories, Japanese intllectuals call ed on the Americans 10 announce at once a list of war criminals to which the Japanese people them selves might want to add some names. The intellectuals told Associated Prss Correspondent Russell Brines that Hideki Tojo, premier at the time of Pearl Harbor, two mem bers of the present cabinet and both signers of the surrender document ' should: be placed on the list. . . ¢ : . To all this, the Japanese people appeared suppinely indifferent, just as they were when the jeeps and armored vehicles came roar ing into their ruined capital for yesterday’s historic flag raising. That flag, which flew over Washington’s historic capitol on the day of Pearl Harbor, hupg limply today in Tokyo's humid air after First Division cavalry men placed it:-there at the climax of one of history’s strangest oc cupations of a foreign power’s capital. ° ; Without fanfare or excitement, the second squadron of the First Diyvision’s proud Seventh Regi ment and the 302nd reconnais sance troop swept through Tokyo’s streets and threw a guard around the' American embassy. Ignore Troops | There were few Japanese in the rags and rubble that Ameri can bombers left of Tokyo, and &they glanced only briefly at the columns of armored cars, self 'propelled guns and personnel car riers crowded with- troops. - Children on their way to school bowed stiffly or waved. That was the only Japanese reaction to the unparalleled spectacle of foreign troops marching through their capital. A parade had been scheduled but it was cancelled, possibly to avoid excitement. ! General MacArthur arriped in a two-car convoy after refusing a Japanese offer to line the streets ;with police as is done when the Emperor passes by. At 11 a. m,, upon his arrival at the embassy garden, ‘MacArthur instructed ILt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger of the U. S. Eighth Army of occupation to have “our country’s flag unfurled.” As it was hoisted to the top of the pole at the chancellery, Mac- Arthur, Eichelberger and Admiral Halsey- saluted. While the , simple, 10-minute ceremony signified the occupation of Tokyo, it was done so quietly that many of the city’s oft-bombed residents probably did not know the Americans had arrived. No Japanese were present.
