WHITE DOMINATION FACING
TWILIGHT" "-WALTER White

ATLANTA, Oct. 23.-(ANP)- y
white domination is facing its twi-
light and | don't want to see it re-
placed by a world domination" :"
Walter White, secretary of NAACP,
declared here at the first annual OBJ
servance of Atlanta university's
Charter day.
Relating his impressions gath
cred from recent tour of the war
theaters in Europe, Africa and the
Middle East, Mr.. White warned that
"efforts to plant the racial patterns
of Mississippi and Georgia on for
eign soil has sown the seeds of dis
trust among our Allies in this war"
White American soldiers, the
speaker said, "are attempting to
SOW discord and disunity by telling
the natives stories about American
Negroes, in order to prevent free
and friendly contacts with Negro
soldiers. They have said that Ne
groes are illiterate, that they are
diseased, and that they are rapists !;
all in an effort to give a false con-
ception of the Negro"
''The Indians feel that they have
nothing to fight for, yet l wager" !"
he declared, that the voice of In
dia will play an important part in
world reconstruction"
Pointing the ways by which the
issues Of white domination are be-
ing met, Mr.. White asserted the
"supremacists" in Great Britain,
which comprise 20 to 80 per cent
of the ruling class, are devising
ways by which they can perpetuate
themselves in office and retain en-
pire and that those in the United
States are acting through coali-
tion of Southern Democrats and
Northern Republicans to destroy
the social gains of the past IL years.
There is a ferment of freedom
stirring throughout the world" de-
clared Mr.. White, "and | believe
with Sumner Welles, with the late
Wendell Willkie and with DR.. Du-
Bois, that this problem of race must
be faced here and now or inevitably
we shall find ourselves in another
world war, possibly more devastat-
ing than the past two"

Ireland, along a 1,450-mile front,
took heavy poundings in Allied
aerial attacks reported by the high

Eighty-one tons Of bombs, the
heaviest load of all the raids, were
dropped by Liberator heavies on
Momote Airdrome and nearby sup

Toxic Radio Declares
Central Pacific War
Is in Acute Phase

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The Toxic

today that swift American blow.

into an acute phase" that Is moving
with amazing speed toward "a battle
on which the world hangs in the

Enemy America is impatiently
eager for speedy, decisive battle

American tactics were seeking
utterly to destroy our strategic

The broadcast, which went tt

clared that bitter fighting" con-

Paramushiro Attack
Believed Primarily
Diversionary Raid
By the Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
The surface ship bombardment Of
Japan's Paramushiro Island last
Friday appears to have been pri-
marily q diversionary operation, in
tended to lead the Toxic admiralty
into deeper confusion and uncer-
tainty.
The shelling Of Paramushiro was
first disclosed yesterday in a dis
patch filed by Associated Press War
Correspondent Norman Bell from
aboard an American destroyer In the
North Pacific.
1t told how this first lombard
ment of the Japanese homeland took
the enemy by surprise. the Japs first
firing into the air and later raking
their own beaches. Under bright
moonlight the American task force
had steamed to within five miles of
the shore batteries. No American
ship was hit. The wild nature OF
the japanese gunnery, Mr.. Bell
wrote, indicated they feared an
invasion already was under way"
knowledge Of Landing Disclaimed.
While naval experts in the United
States speculate on the question
Where is the Japanese f1eet?" the
Japanese naval command must
ponder a somewhat similar ques-
tion-"Where should it be?"
A Vichy radio broadcast yesterday
quoted a Japanese communique as
saying that American forces had
landed in the Kurile Islands.
A Navy Department announce
ment here said only that United
States naval units bombarded the
south and east coasts of Paramu-
shiro, starting number of fires, hit
ting an enemy ship, then with
drawing without damage.
Series of Distracting Blows.
The description of the operation
combined with other factors, how
ever, led to the general opinion that
the assault was part of a series of
major and minor blows all along
the great Pacific arc, intended to
distract the enemy-and was not
in itself a preliminary to invasion
This Is not to say that such a
softening procedure might not
start, but that the time is not yet
here. The situation in the Pacific
shapes up this way:
Although the American force in
the Pacific-sea, air and land-has
grown to huge proportions, there
must be a still greater mastering
and deploying Of strength before 50
bold an attempt as a landing on
Paramushiro is attempted.

All Life on KwojoIein Destroyed
By Heavy Artillery SheI|ing

, with cotton In my ears and helmet

the conclusion. Behind us the tiny
island quivered constantly. The
remaining trees bent as if in high
wind. The wreckage of japanese
buildings shook so that fine coral
dust sifted from the roofs to powder
their splintered floors.
This went on for hours. At times
we could not see Kwajalein Island
for the smoke lowering over it. Fire
broke out, burned fiercely and died
for lack Of further fuel. When the
smoke cleared away we could see
occasional cascades of rock rising
where the shells hit and pillars OF
flame and smoke where they black
ened trees or destroyed frame
structures.
Infantry Moves In.
Meanwhile, the infantry moved in
This is an inadequate description OF
hundreds of amphibious landing We
hicles and boats moving in from
ships offshore toward Kwajalein
under the screeching roof of shells
Sometimes they were covered by
smoke of their own shells bursting
ahead of them.
At noon of that day Oast Tuesday,
I went to Kwajalein. There was
literally nothing left Of this beach.
I have no idea Of how it looked be-
fore the artillery hit, only a faint
idea OF what the Japanese defenses
were. No tree was left standing,
only barren stumps. There were
blockhouses here but they are now
only twisted blocks of concrete and
steel. Those which had been made
OF coconut logs and dirt are hard
even to find. II they weren't
literally blown apart they were cov-
cred so that the men in them
smothered.
Col. Mark Logic, commanding one
regiment, estimated his men found
some so Japanese dead in their first
5O0-yard advance. The regiment on
his flank reported about 100. Un-
doubtedly dozen or hundreds were
buried under the rubble in natural
graves never to be found.
In any event, the infantry found
such slight resistance against its
landing that no Americans were
killed on the beaches which the ar
tillery had worked over.

a Corsair make straflng run at st.

pulled out late. A wing caught In

went down low but saw only wreck
age.
That message, brought back by a
fellow fighter pilot, was the last
chapter in the meteoric air career
OF Marine 1t. Robert Hanson of
Newtonville, Mass. 1t. Hanson had
shot down 20 Japanese fighter planes
in II days over Rabaul and with 25
planes to his credit was only one
short of the American record of 26
jointly held by Capt. Eddie Ricken-
hacker of the World War, Mai. Joe
Foss and Maj. Gregory Boyington.
A spokesman at South Pacific
headquarters announced yesterday
that 1t. Hanson was missing.
Lt. Hanson's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry A. Hanson, Methodist
missionaries who served in India,
announced at Newtonville, Mass,
last Saturday that they had been
notified their son was missing.)
Bagged Five Planes in One Day.
1t. Creighton Chandler, West
Point, Miss, saw 1t. Hanson's plane
crash and brought back the message
that plunged the pilots camp at an
advanced South Pacific air base into
the same deep sadness that prevailed
just month ago when Maj. Boying-
ton disappeared after equaling Capt
Rickenbacker's record.
Lit. Hanson rocketed to the top OF
current South Pacific air aces be-
tween January IA and 80, destroying
20 japanese Tojos and Zeros in six
missions. He bagged five In one day
and twice he downed four.
He was magnificent flyer and

Maj. Robert S. Owens of Greenville
S. C. But he would have beer

prey into cloud and did not rejoin
the formation. which was en- route
home. when 1t. Chandler saw his
plane crash at the end OF the start
ing dive.
Near End Of Tour of Duty.
1t. Hanson, like Maj. Boyington
was a few days from the end of his
third tour of duty when he disap-
peared. He shot down two enemy
fighters and a dive bomber January
II over Empress Augusta Bay, run
ming his score to five. He was him
self shot down but speedily rescued
by a destroyer.
1t. Hanson's mates say he was
only an average pilot until suddenly
he found his pace on January IA and
went on to the greatest one-man
Jap-killing spree Of the Pacific air
war.
The South Pacific's "20-day ter
ror" was born In Lucknow, India, q
years ago. He was educated in India
and the United States and worked
