MYSTERY
EXPLAINED
SAN
FRANCISCO
One
of
the
mysteries
of
the
war
In
the
Pacific
has
been
explained.
The
Matson
liner
Malama,
it
is
revealed,
was
sunk
by
bombs
from
a
Japanese
carrier
plane.
All
the
crew
was
taken
prisoner
by
the
Japanese.
plans
for
the
future
of
the
armed
forces
are
somewhat
-vague
because
in
consideration
which
has
to
be
made
now
that
the
atomic
bomb
must
be
dealt
with.
Mr.
Gibson
pointed
out
that
massing
oi
armed
vehicles
or
the
collection
of
ships
In
convoys
must
be
avoided
as
two
changes
in
military
strategy
occasioned
by
the
development
of
the
powerful
new
weapon.
Even
in
Canada,
he
said
that
it
might
be
essential
to
disperse
key
industries
into
small
units.
As
an
example,
Colonel
Gibson
said
that
it
may
become
imperative
to
avoid
the
concentration
of
key
industries
all
dependent
upon
the
power
developed
at
Niagara.
The
air
minister
asserted
that
a
continued
state
of
preparedness
is
essential
but
he
added
that
there
is
no
disposition
on
the
part
of
the
government
to
turn
the
country
Into

of

in,

The
endorsation
of

was
clearly
indi
cated
two
hours
after
polls
closed
in

Press
trend
analysis
on
basis
of
early
returns.
Later
returns
maintained
the
trend.
In

party

dicated
by
the
latest
available
returns
this
morning,
the
coali
tion
had
thirty-seven
seats

with
thirty

at
the
dissolution
of
the

The
CCF.
Party
had
ten
seats
compared
with
fifteen
at
dissolution.
The
Labor
Party
had
one
member
the
same
as
in

The
CCF.
did
better
"in
1941
when
they
were
hi
a
three-way-
battle
with
the
Liberals
and
Conservatives.
Although
they
lost
nine
seats
to
the
Coalitionists,
the
C.C.F.
salvaged
some
spoils
of
the
battle
by
scoring
gains
In
four
constituencies.
Caught
in
a
Socialistic
surge
in
the

two
outstanding
candidates
defeated
yesterday
were
the
