The fellows here like to read it, too, even though they know nothing about that nice little town where the, paper is printed. Say! I'll bet you really got tired of changing that address so much, didn't you? Well, just think of the headaches It meant for me to move. around so much. It certainly wasn't my idea. I noticed that in order to receive The Star when the subscription is renewed a request- Is necessary. Well, I'm requesting-and practic- ally begging ya-to keep The S'af coming toward "The Big Ditch."

Plans Being Made for New Capitql Center The newly created F1orida state improvement commission is mak- ing plans for new buildings in Tallahassee for the state's new capitol center, to include office andi other state buildings already constructed and others to be b1it. A new supreme 'court building pitobably will be..onti~,rcvted, leav- ing the present building to the railroad commission and perhaps the state library. Other state buila- ings contemplated are a new gen- eral, office building and a new building for the state road depart- ment. The commission' will finance and own the buildings until the in- debtedness is paid off under a rental system, just as the state is now paying the city of Tallahassee Tor rental of office buildings con- structed in 1940. ---- RECREATION CENTER TO BE OPEN MONDAY NIGHTS The recreation center of the First Baptist Church will be open German Life Raft Is Found In Gulf was last seen heading west, in di- rect contrast to his generally recognized desire to drive to the east."

I Near Dog Island Believed To Have Been In Water About Six Weeks; Provisions Bear Recent Inspection Date A submarine rubber life raft, identified as. of German manufac- ture and well stocked' with emer- gency rations was picked up Sun- day, July 29, in the Gulf about four miles off the west end of Dog Is- land by an army boat from Cami Gordon Johnston which was re- turning from a fishing trip. Provisions aboard the raft in- cluded signal equipment, a distress flag, concentarted foods, tobacco, fishing gear, pervitin (fatigue elim- inating drug) and schnapps. In-' spection dates Indicated that most of the. material had been in Ger- many as late as December 28, 1944. The material was turned over to the security and intelligence, d~ vision at Gordon Johnston. The theory was put forth that the raft had been afloat no longer than six weeks, due to the imma- ture formation of barnacles and marine matter on its bottom, and the possibility was also presented that the raft may have washed ashore several months ago and subsequently carried; back to sea by the recent high tides. Further information. regarding the mystery raft is exipectedtpo be released. by higher headquarters, as, the evidence (including the schnapps) has' 'been sent to service command headquarters' for de- tailed study. The, following item, in regard to the raft, appeared, in last Satur- day's issue of "The Amphibian," Gordon Johnston's camp newspa- per: "REWARD-The Amphibian will pay $10 for information leading to the arrest of A.

Our Country Right or Wrong INCREDIBLE POWER Discovery of how to unleash the power ot the atom, which was demonstrated this week in the dropping of an experimental "atomic" bomb on Hiro Shima, opens up undreamed of benefits for the human race in years to' come. It has long been the dream of scientists to harness the power they knew lurked in the atom, and if it has been done, which appar- ently seems the case, it is one of the biggest things that any of us living today may expect to see in our lifetime. This discovery means that a relatively small amount of inert matter such as copper, for instance, can be used to develop power that will put to shame our largest hydroelectric or steam plants. It is probable that harnessed atomic power would do away with coal and petroleum products for the development of power, and eventually we may see our automobiles, airplanes, railroad locomotives and ships powered with small but incredibly powerful atomic engines. Perhaps this is the one thing- that will even- tuallv outlaw war on this old world, for with the terrible destruction that could be utin- leashed with atomic weapons, no nation would dare to start a war for domination. While World War I failed of its effort to be "the war to end all wars," it looks like the present war may do just that due to, this new ,discovery. TWO WAYS TO 'SKIN' A CAT When Harry S. Truman joined recently with Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek in sending an ultimatum to Japan, he prob- ably knew in advance that the Japanese war lords would scorn these "final" peace terms. Therefore it might be wise to look for the less obvious purposes behind this joint act ot Britain, China and the United States. Of course there was a great advantage in re-stating the basis upon which the' United Nations would make peace with Japan, thus putting an end to the hopes of the "soft" peace advocates. Yet there was another anct perhaps even more important value attached to the n'-eparation of the ultimatum at this time, one that has been reflected by dis- patches appearing from our command out- posts in the Pacific. The text of the ultimatum has been trans- lated into Japanese and imprinted on leaflets and more than 500,000 of these are being flown to Japanese civilians and soldiers every day in a continuous series of bomber sorties over various parts of the Japanese homeland. Our psycholQgical warfare department knows what a tremendous part surrender leaflets are playing in the destruction of Jap- anese morale. They have seen how the once- vaunted "no surrender" attitude of the ordin- ary Jap soldier has been collapsing under tne influence of American "paper" bullets. They know now that the Jap soldier is after, all just a plain human being despite the fanatical teachings of their overlords, and that thou- sands of American lives are being saved be- cause the Jap is being taught to surrender. The Japanese military caste had no altern- ative but to reject the ultimatum, unless com- mitting hara-kiri or being tried as a war crim- inal can be considered alternatives. Yet, it is a certainty that this very ultimatum, con- taining no threats to the safety of 'the ordin- ary citizens of Japan, will hasten the crack- up of Japanese morale as a result of our "pa- per" bombing. And when we place on top of this the newly-released atomic bomb, with its high destructive power, we should soon see the collapse of the Japanese empire.
