"If the Japs can be re-educated
properly and drop their hatred for
Americans," says Will Oursler, Pa-
cific correspondent for True, The
Man's Magazine, "then democracy
should follow in a generation. This
would also remove forever their
ideas about being the master race
of the East."
The American Military Govern-
ment has had a great deal of ex-
perience in the captured islands of
the Pacific educating both military
and civilian Jap prisoners. On Tin-
ian Island in the Marianas, for ex-

ample, the educational program has
been well developed.' "Officials re-
port it is having a noticeable effect
on the attitude of the children and
in some cases, through the children,
i on the parents as well," says Ours-
' ler. "Classrooms have been built,
largely by Japanese labor, and a ;
•teaching system worked out so that I
' all the thousands of children are get-
j ting elementary education with an 1
1 American flavor."
! T,hue main subjects taught are I
mathematics, geography, natural '
science, American civics and Eng- I
lish. All text material used is Amer- '
ican or is prepared under our super- 1
vision. The geography and civics J
classes have beeip launched to give j
the children a jufet and proper pic- ;
ture of this world they live in—a
world in which Japan is not a "di- j
vine empire" with a mission of con- I
! quest, but simply one nation among!
many nations. '
"In the civics class," an educa- j
' tion officer told Oursler, "they learn ,
1 something of government organiza- j
tion under democratic forms. We're I
1 simply trying to give them an idea |
of how democracy works."
This same educational program j
| has been tested in Saipan and True's j
' correspondent reports that Jap pri-
soners have reacted to it most favor-
ably.

Hitler's threat to give Japan Ma
"most secret vengeance weapon"
caused the United States to in-
tensify the perfection of the Atomic
Bomb and to hasten its use, reports
Major Donald Keyhoe, in the No-
vember issue of True, The Man's
Magazine.
Jap scientists had worked on the
Atomic Bomb research in Germany
with Nazi technicians, knowing that
the perfection of it was the prize
for which warring nations had been
desperately striving. "These scien-
tists could have reached Japan by
U-boat, taking with them heavy wa-
ter, uranium, and plans for their
almost completed bomb. It was not
likely, but it \£as possible," continues
Keyhoe.
There was evidence that the Japs
were as far advanced on this re-
search as Germany and that they
might have had the Nazis' secret
formula which had produced an
atomic bomb for testing purposes.
At this same time, an authentic
report of a weirdly devastated area
in the heart of a German forest
proved that the Germans had
brought the Atom Bomb to a testing
stage.
the F.B.I., played a big part ill the
Atomic Bomb race. The five Nasi
spies; who were lauded on our At-
lantic Coast to seek Atomic Bomb%
information, agreed to transmit mis-
leading reports to Hans Blum, the
spy chief who had sent them. Shortly
after this station was put in oper-
ation in early '45, it was bombarded
with questions: "What is the ma-
terial uped for a coating and what is
its strength?" Apparently the Nazis
had split the uranium atom but could
not control the blast.

Why is Lou Little a little sad? Maybe he
remembers when guys really could boot the
