Through July % were 348 killed,

War Correspondent Clinton
Green said Marines went ashore
on Tinian after probably the
greatest half-hour air, naval and
land based bombardment yet
concentrated on single island
in the Pacific.
The Japanese did not open
fire until the ninth landing
wave, and then only with NOR
tars and machine guns-"lightly,
compared to Saipan." The Ma
rines progressed at least 500
yards during the first two
hours.
CIVILIANS HIDE
Green said Tinian's civilian
population of $4,000 apparently
went underground as in the
early days at Saipan, three miles
north of Tinian. Hiding in the
bushes were several children,
including one ID months old.
They were taken to Saipan.

BY J. b. KRUGER
Associated Press War Editor

Radio Tokyo, averting its eyes
from the bad news of it's rough
ly-handled ground forces on
Guam, Tinian and New Guinea,
today broadcast that several
powerful U. S. fleet task forces
were prowling off the Marianas
1900 miles from Japan.
The task forces are maneuver-
ing in waters vital to Japan'S
safety but, said Tokyo, 1.-The
time is not yet ripe for our fleet
to come out and attack the enc

Naval commentator Masandri
Ito candidly explained that Jap
ans combined fleet lacked the
air power of the American arm
adas and that "the time to de-
liver the coup de grace to the
enemy has mot yet arrived" The
japanese fleet will come out on
ly after cool appraisal of rela-
tive fleet strength and geograph-
ic consideration, Ito said.
The broadcast conceivably
had two purposes: to explain
why the japanese Navy made
only one move to defend the
Marianas-and that costly
one-and to fish for an indica-
ton of where the u. S. fleet
would strike next. In the Mari
anas sea battles in June Japan
lost TAT planes and more than
80 ships. ~

a lot of states rights back to the
states, is plenty reason for all Ne
groes to be afraid of Mr.. Dewey

Rights is what has kept US from
voting in the South all these years.
States Rights is what would keep
us from ever having any more Fed

not like to see Negroes have even
a few decent homes.
States Rights is what would keep
the Fair Employment Practices
Committee and the War Labor
Board from working South of the
Mason-Dixon Line, in regard to US,
at all. And States Rights is what
would keep Federal Anti-Lynch-
ing Bill from ever being passed. I
swear, I am scared to death of
States Rights and anybody who
wants to further or extend them.
Because there are too many states
that just don't intend to do right.
Federal Homes
At least, the Federal Government
under Mr.. Roosevelt has made some
nationwide steps that have helped
the Negro enormously, even in the
States Rights South. Take Fed
eral Housing as a most obvious in
stance. Last year I travelled across
the country, and I saw charming
groups and clusters of government
houses occupied by colored people
from Dallas to the Carolina coast.
These Southern states by them
selves would not have given Ne
groes these modern Handicapped and
good-looking little houses to live in.
All these years since slavery they
did no such thing, and show no
signs of so doing now-left to them
selves and their States Rights

this column for the Democrats Il
wish somebody would), but in try
ing to figure out how I would vote
myself, came to these conclusions,
so I pass them on to you to see if
you agree or disagree.
All the big issues involved like
the Conduct of the War, and Don't
Change Horses In Mid-Stream, and
our Foreign Policy, and our Do
nestle Policies, and States Rights,
and the Fourth Term, are things
I've thought about. But after I get
through thinking about all those
big things-somehow 1 can't help
it, and I am kind of scared it might
not be sporting because after all
Mrs. Dewey is not Mr.. Dewey-but
I just can't help thinking that I
had much rather have Mrs. Roose-
vent in the White House than a
lady from Texas.
1 can't help thinking how house
wives in Texas want all Negroes
to go around to the back door. And
if I should ever go to call at the
White House, I would not like to
have to go around to the back door.
In fact, I will vote at the polls in
November against anybody related
to anybody who believes in Negroes
going in back doors. Back doors
versus front doors is also big is

SAYS % DAY SEASON WILL

In telegram to Chester Wilson,
Minnesota Commissioner of Con-
servation, Charles L. Horn, chair
man of Minnesota Emergency Con-
servation Committee, demanded
that the % day pheasant hunting
season be reduced.
The wire said:
Information obtained by the Min
nesota Emergency Conservation
Committee, which must be available
to the State Conservation Depart
ment, if it cares to look for it, indi-
Gates the ringnecked pheasant pop
ulation is at an all-time low and the
possibility of regaining its former
number will be absolutely hopeless,
if you persist in a % day open sea-
son this year. 1t is the opinion
of many and it is shared by this
committee that unless the number
of days is reduced and the take of
birds drastically reduced the breed
ing stock remaining will be so low
that they will not be able to re-
produce themselves in any number
for many years. Again we beg of
you, as we did in 1913, to assist in
true conservation measures and re-
woke your order of August, 1914,
declaring a % day open season.
1t is unbelievable that you, as a
conservationist, and your experts
would fail to recognize the serious
ness of this situation and take the
necessary steps to call a halt to the
destruction of our breeding stock. "
