MARSHALL ISLANDS.-A powerful
American naval aid air base is ris-
ing at a brisk pace out of the wreck
age of Roi and Namur islands, until
. few days ago a pair of Japanese
strong points in the Marshalls.
Seabees, fighting engineers of the
navy, are using giant bulldozers to
rush construction of the bomb and
shell-smashed islands. Heaps of
dead Japs, airplane wreckage and
damaged fuel tanks are being cleared
away.
The only hunting left for the ma

the islands are a few japanese hid

northeast point of Namur, known as
coffin corner, where the fighting was
hardest. The leathernecks now have
time to tidy up their fox holes, while
on the beach IS specially trained
dogs are exercised occasionally.
No sea or air opposition has been
offered by the Japanese yet. Not a
single Japanese plane or surface
ship has been sighted in the vicinity.
Actual fighting on Roi lasted four
hours and on Namur 24-and more
than 120 hours have passed since

Gets Vengeance for Two
Brothers Slain by Japs

BOUGAINVILLE. - Staff Sergt.
William Baker, Oakland, Calf, has
eXacted vengeance from the Japa-
nese for the deaths of his two broth

bombs at Pearl Harbor, and Robert
went down with the carrier Wasp.
Sergeant Baker was a member
of a l3-day patrol through the jun
giles led by Capt. John McCurdy,
Des Moincs, Iowa. He was in charge
of a platoon which killed a Japanese
patrol of eight men. "They had

for them. After incredible heavy
naval aid aerial bombardment there
was hardly a spot on the islands
where bombs and shells hadn't left
devastating marks.
Only one woman was found on the
islands. She was a native crouching
in a tunnel. Indications are that
there were as many as 500 working
on the islands before the invaders
struck. They fled to outer islets,
crossing on reefs. without getting
scratch.
One of the few Japanese prisoners
taken apparently was firm believ-
er in homeland propaganda. He

"Well, you took this island, but
