 Enough-by Far

CHUNGKING, Oct. 2-Attribut- ing recent Chinese reverses to a lack of essential equipment, a spokesman for Chinas National Military Council said the actual tonnage of American supplies de- livered to the East China forces since Pearl Harbor wouldn't be suf- ficient to sustain an American or British division in combat for a week.

JAP BASE AT

 EN(IR(LED
Capture of PaIaus Will Prevent Jdps from Mak-

By CHARLES McMURTY "A. F, War COrrespOndenO

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS. PEARL lHARBOR. Oct. 2-American forces have secured all of Peleliu Island except isolated Bloody Nose Ridge" Admiral Chester w. Nimitz re- ported today.
 Marine planes are smashing the strong points still held by the Japanese in the heart of Umorbro- gol Hill. The Admiral also dis closed that more than 10000 Japa- nese had been killed in the South ern Palau Islands, most of them killed on Peleliu. The Tanks now control not only Peleliu but all of Angaur, Ngesebus, Konhauru and five smaller islets in the same gen. eral region.
 Hill Hammered
 Pliers of the Second Marine Air craft Wing hammered Japanese hill positions Friday with "numer- ous" 1000-pound bombs in an ef- fort to demolish the remaining Nippon Qualifications. Isolated en- emy remnants continued to offer bitter resistance from hillside caves.
 One small pocket of resistance remains on Angaur Island.
 Striking about 1900 miles north east of Tokyo, Liberator bombers of the Eleventh AAF blasted Shumshu Friday. That island is the northernmost in the Kuriie chain. Tank raiders encountered only moderate anti-aircraft fire and all returned to their base.
 Invasion Concluded
 Wiping out open, organized re- sistence on Peleliu and Angaur and taking seven nearby islands in the same chain virtually concludes the first Allied invasion of the Caroline Islands, probably Japan's strongest ppre war insular possess sion. Other enemy strongholds in the Carolines, such as Truk and Ponape have been neutralized by aerial invasion but ground forces never landed there, Nimitz said The seizure of the Palau Islands, he said, would make Truk next to useless to the Japanese. It places the American forces in a position from which to strangle communications between Japan proper and Japan's conquered ter ritories to the south and sweep away a formidable obstacle to our eventual return to the Philippines. l"
