PAGE EIGHT JAPS BEATEN BEFORE HITS BY A-BOMBS Byrnes Cnes Proof Nips| Wanted to End War Be- fore Alomlc Bombings WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Secre- tary of State Byrnes today chal- lenged Japan's argument that atomic bomb knocked her out the war. He cited what h> c Russian proof that the Ja knew they were beaten before the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima Foreign Commissar Molotov formed the Americans and British at the Potsdam Big Three meeting, Byrnes said, that the Japanese had the of ed asked to send a delegation to Mos- | cow to seek Russian mediation for the end of the war—an act which Byrnes interpreted as proof of enemy | racognition of defeat. Byrnes said he couldn't sa motivated but that hist would record the information imparted by the Rus- | sians at Potsdam, He made it clear he believed that the men who had | fought the war up to that point in the Pacific and Asia deserved fuil credit for victory. Byrnes expressed his views at a news conference mention of the atomic bomb. To the extent that the bomb facilitated surrender, he sald, it saved the lives of hundreds of| thousands of American boys, and —pomething we're apt to forget, he added—it saved the lives of hun- dreds of thousands of Japanese boys and millions more of Japanese peo- ple. It saved far more Japanese lives thfin were lost, B\'rm-s declared. y what __-, With Jap-American | FRESH FROZEN PEAS 12 0z.. 33 BROCCOLI 10 0-. 33 “‘uu«n firm of H. B.

But Price Administrator Chester, Bowles was prepared to give a firm “no” in reply to the merchandisers’ demand for change—according to of- ficials close to Bowles. This means that wheolesalers must absorb—without passing on to the public—any in- creases in the cost of manufacturing goods. LYON - N JUNEAU Frank M.
