Chinese officials warned their own people, and Japanese officials admitted, that the new pressure was intended to intimidate, discourage, force the populace of South China into endorsement of peace under Puppet-elect Wang.

At the end of 24 hours the worms in the heated juice and the salt water were "very lively and active." But those in the fresh pineapple juice were "completely digested" (dead).

Another World War II flop was wheat, which boomed to 92? first week of September, ended the month at 87? (1918 high: $2.25). Reason: for the week ended Sept. 23, U.

But this exploded too when Secretary of Agriculture Wallace took...
