Secretary of the Navy Knox re-
ported today that the Japanese ap-
parently are shifting from the south
ern part of Bougainville in an effort
to concentrate their forces in the
Empress Augusta Bay area, farther
north on the island.
He also declared that United
States forces have aerial superiority
in the South and Southwest Pa
ciflc and are bombing the Japanese
around the clock with scarcely any
opposition.
All enemy airfields on Bougain-
vile, he said, are unserviceable and
are being kept that way by incessant
bombing attacks.
Mr.. Knox also reported, in a COM
pilation of aerial activity in the Pa
ciflc during the week ending De-
cember 20 that II missions were
carried out. Nine were made on
japanese positions in the Marshall
Islands where 10 enemy planes def
nitely were shot down and nine
probably were destroyed American
losses were three planes.
In the South Pacific alone there
were 81 missions in which more than
l,400 aircraft took part. These forays
ranged from two-plane strafing at
tacks to a single mission task force
which included 122 American planes.
OF the 1,400 aircraft engaged, 1865
were Navy and Marine Corps planes.
In this area there were seven large
scale task force raids. In the Bou-
gainville area, Mr.. Knox said, there
was scarcely any enemy air strength
and the United States lost only five
planes in this area during the week
1T is difficult to understand the
lack of Japanese counter air work.

TARAWA, Nov. % Delayed) -
Thirty-five daring marines and their
indomitable skipper" First 1t. Will
liam D. Hawkins, 30, of Ell Paso,
Tex, wrote one of the most gallant
chapters in the conquest of Tarawa.
CA Washington dispatch of De-
cember II reported that an air
field in the Gilberts had been
named for 1t. Hawkins.
1t. Hawkins and more than a
dozen of his men are buried beneath
the sands of bloody Betio Beach, the
most hazardous strip of sand ever
bridged in combat.
They were special "scout-sniper"
outfit. Their job was one of the
most ticklish ever assigned any con-
tingent. They were told to secure
the long 600-yard pier jutting out
from Betio Beach and to wipe out
all the japanese machine gun nests
threatening the invasion force.
Routed Six Jap Nests.
The pier was full of Japs. With
q flame thrower outfit and the aid
of dynamite, they routed six nests
before our first wave struck the
beach.
But when our carrier based planes
began the terrific bombardment that
rocked Tarawa without letup for
two days, 1t. Hawkins and his ma
rines were right in the middle of it.
The Japs dynamited one section of
the pier, set off several mines near
the scout -snipers and raked them
from the beach with all types of
fire
The marine advance guard didn't
get a chance to draw a second breath
before orders came shooting them
far down the beach where many
hundreds of marines were pinned
down by vicious machine-gun and
mortar cross fire. 1t. Hawkins
learned he had to push across to the
airport, wiping out as many enemy
emplacements as he could.
From somewhere a machine gun
opened up. 1t. Hawkins was wounded
in the hand and three more of his
men toppled dead.
1t. Hawkins was forced to seek
medical treatment for his hand and
Gunnery Sergt. Jared J. Hooper, 26,
Of Milford, N. j., assumed temporary
command.
Ordered to "Spot."
Marine mortars now were on the
beach. and the most hazardous job
yet given 1t. Hawkins band came
next. They were ordered to go out
and spot" for the mortars.
Sergt. Morris C. Owens, 26. Of
Madison, Wis, was near 1t. Hawkins
when he received his fatal wound
He had returned to join us with
orders that we had to go down to
one of the hottest beaches and wipe
out series of compounds" the
sergeant related
He had gotten rid of half dozen
when a heavy machine gun opened
up, An explosive shell struck him on
the shoulder, near an artery"
Corpsmen attached to the near
est aid station reported that 1t.
Hawkins fought bitterly against
death and was given blood plasma
Lived Several Hours.
He lived several hours" said
Corpl. Robert l.. Kleinknight, 10.
of Bakersfield, Calf, but died
during the night"
Under Sergt. Hooper, the scout
snipers returned to the command
post to await further orders.
The central command post had
been established alongside a we'll
fortified compound in which were
some Is Japs.
"A colonel came up to me and
said, Get those Japs out of there!
They've been raising hell!'" said
Sergt. Hooper.
The remaining scout-snipers dove
into the compound and started firing
their rifles into ever corner of the
place. But the Japs blaZed back.
I'VE gave them the works.
