a vital factor in slowing down de-
velopments of a major counterat-
tack.
Referring to the initial assaults,
Mr.. Stimson said the comparative
ease of the landings at some of the
heachheads was due to an element
of tactical surprise, careful choice
of the general region and the dis
ruption of German communications
by air attack.
I'm one part of the American
sector sheer courage won the day
aided by planes and warship guns, .
he said
I'm this sector a good German
division was actually starting field
exercises when the attack came. Its
field artillery was more difficult
target for our planes than the fixed
coastal batteries. These enemy
troops helped TO man defenses which
consisted of submerged obstacles and
mines of the beaches, barbed wire
and bitches on the beaches, guns
which directed a crossfire along the
dunes and machine guns, pill boxes
and land mines covering the passes
and cliffs beyond.
..Yet American soldiers ran that
gantlet Of deadly llazards-the ex-
ploding surf, the shelltorn sand
the barrier cliffs-and took their
objective"
Movies to Be Released.
Mr.. Stimson said he spoke en-
phatically of this because he had
just seen newly arrived motion pic
lures of the fighting on the beach,
head which are soon to be released,
He praised highly the co-opera-
tion of the Allied forces during the
nine days since the invasion. Planes
and warshipS have served the COM
mon interest and the task Of each
ground force has complemented the
tasks of the others.
British and Canadian troops to
the east have eased pressure on the
American force to permit it to move
toward Cherbourg, he said.
Mr.. Stimson reviewed at length
the terrific destruction caused by
bomber planes inland behind the
German lines. This destruction Of
transportation facilities, bridges and
airfields, he asserted. has slowed up
the Germans more than Allied COM
manders had anticipated.
Cites Blows Against Japan.
The close relationship of the Ital-
ian and French fronts was Illus
trated, he declared, by the success
full air missions being carried out of
Italy against the war industry in
Southern Germany.
THE war against Japan continues
with the same urgency" he said.
'The Navy's blow at the Marianas
and Kurile Islands, the bombing of
the Palau by Army bombers, the re-
duction of the Japanese defense of
Biak Island and the smashing of
the enemy naval effort to bring re-
lief to the Japanese on Biak-these
form guarantee that the pressure
on this enemy will mount and that
no part Of his empire will be safe
from our blows"
In Southeastern Asia, he said, Al
lied occupation of most of Myitkyina
and its principal aufield helps to
shorten and protect the air trans
port route to China. That supply
route is urgently needed now when
the Chinese are pressed by enemy
offensive operations in Central
China near ChanpSha.

clusion as to where to put by chin

to Germany.
stood up and saw q German
plane crashing into the woods be-
hind me. A column of smoke from
another wrecked German plane was
standing up from q spot down the
beach, and very near where Ger
man prisoners. were kept awaiting
embarkation was q parachute with
a German pilot swinging back and
forth in it and looking ike black
and comical little toy.
There had been no warning, but
our gunners had been ready, and
wondered as / stood and watched
the parachutist fall what the dis
mayed German prisoners must be
thinking here now as they realized
that the Luftwafie had done no
damage to anything but itself.
Rode With Prisoners.
On the way back to the transport
other live Germans rode with me.
One Nazi ofiicer said the war win
be ended by October because the
Americans and the Russians could
not fight longer than that.
Americans" he said, were very
good when they were winning, but
when things went against them they
gave up easily. They have not the
experience and the battle wisdom Of
the Germans"
The fact that Americans are good
when they are winning, but have not
the stamina to take the rough going,
Is, 1t seems, Goebbels' new propa-
ganda line to hearten his people
through their rough going.
The officer went on this way with
his propaganda. German soldiers,
he said, fight for the fatherland, and
there Is no separation in the Ger
man mind between der Fuehrer and
das Vaterland.
Sailing Against England.
/ noticed out OF the corner Of my
eye that the German soldier, who
had been sitting next to the ofiicer
and listening to our conversation,
had winked at me. This soldier had
the spry, impish look once 50 typical
|of the Alexanderplatz in Berlin,
where workingmen fondled their
beer Of an evening I smiled at him
and he Immediately became solemn
and looked away, and I noticed then
that the German ofncer was frown-
ing at him.
Later another German soldier, 4
man from Hanover, curly haired,
burly and blond, sat beside me.
Now you are sailing against Eng
land" said, and he looked startled
at the remark. Then he remem-
bered the long years back to 1910
when the whole German Army was
singing . song which began, 1--WE
sail against England.
He laughed heartily. YES" he
agreed. Now many Of us sail
against England, but we win not
stay there long. The war will be
over IN October. Germany cannot
stand longer than that
October seems to be the date the
prisoners on this ship at least have
agreed upon for the reaping Of the
whirlwind their Fuehrer has sown.

Japan Hit
by Quake

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. s (UP)
The Japanese admitted today
that an earthquake. described by
British seismologists as even more
violent than the 1928 Yokohama
disaster that killed 100000 per-
sons, rolled up huge tidal waves
and loosed landslides yesterday
across a 150-mile belt of central
Japan, extending through the
teeming Tokyo area.
After withholding all word on
the temblor for more than "a
hours, the Tokyo radio finally
broke its silence early this morn
ing TO announce that the most
populous center of the japanese
homeland had been hit yesterday
afternoon.
CALL DAMAGE SLIGHT
The Tokyo broadcasts insisted,
however. that only slight" dam
age had been caused and that
virtually none of the capital dis
trict's crowded war plants was
affected.
The japanese Domei agency
said the earthquake centered in
the Sea of Enshu about 100 miles
southeast of Tokyo and reported
that a great wall of water rolled
inland over the coastal areas of
ShiZuoka district.
Farther inland and extending
up to the Tokyo Yokohama dis
trict. landslides caved in streets
and houses over a wide area, Do
mel said.
PRINCIPAL DISTRICTS
The agency carefully refrained
from mentioning that Tokyo itself
had been damaged, although its
account indicated strongly that
the capital was within range OF
the shock.
Domei said the principal dis
tricts convulsed by the earth
quake included Hamamatsu, Shi-
zuoka. Nagano and their vi
entities, lying in an arc extending
around Tokyo from the southwest
to west.
