AIRY FLAGSHIP, SAIPAN IS
LAND, June 17.--United States as
sault troops have fought inland
over the green, rolling hills OF
southern Saipan after a street by
street conquest of the town OF
Charan-Kanao.
They landed near the sugar NIL.
town on Wednesday under the
fiercest Japanese fire since Tarawa.
From the bridge Of this flagship
saw the assault waves, loaded in
alligators, claw their way over the
barrier reef and move to the
beaches, supported by laundering
salvos from the naval guns, flam-
ing rockets, and automatic landing
craft weapons.
Despite the powerful support, the
Japs' long range mortars and ar
tillery showered the alligators On
the left flank.
Snftened Up Beach
The assault beach OF the Japs
was under naval and aerial bonn
bardnent for several days preced-
ing the attack. They evacuated
the civilians but left strong rear
guard which the Americans cleaned
up first.
This Pacific encounter is com
parable to E,iropes house to house
fighting Saipan, in the heart OF
the Marianas, Is the portal to the
Japanese inner empire defense
perimeter. The capture of Saipan
will cut off Guam. open the road
to the Philippines, and sever
Japan's supply routes TO the Caro-
lines.
Powerful Attack
The Americans landed on two
mile front on either side of Char
an Kanoa, which lies on the south
west coast The southern units
started powerful attack which
carried them close to the Aslito
airdrome.
Meanwhile the northern units
consolidated the beachhead area
below the principal city of Cara
pan ON Saipan harbor, five miles
north of Charan-Kanoa.
Casualties at Saipan are not ex-
pected TO equal the Tarawa fig
ures, but the assault battalions
suffered material losses.
The Americans secured the mar
row Charan-Kanoa airstrip bor-
dering the beach during the initial
attack. AS yet. however, they are
not out OF mortar range.

Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
cit. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the Army. = r II

WASHINGTON--W While American
doughboys are fighting the toughest
battle in history, another decisive
battle is going on in Washington
without benefit of headlines. 1t is
the battle for control of the tire
mendous surplus war property
owned by the Government.
One group, headed by the Bernie
Baruch-Lehman Brothers-Genera
Electric faction, has the skids all
creased to pass, as quickly as pos
sible, legislation putting surplus
property mainly in the hands OF
the big firms which have profited
most from the war.
The other group, headed by a
coalition of Democratic and Re-
publican Congressman, is determ-
ined that the disposal OF war goods
shall not head the country into
another economic tailsspin
At the end of World War I, the
u. S. Government sold about seven
billion dollars worth of surplus
goods with no orderly plan. Some
of the goods were dumped on the
market, with spectators making
fortunes overnight. Some OF it was
sold in France without any stip-
ulation that the French people were
to benefit, so that French spec
ulators bought them up and reaped
juicy profits by shipping them back
to the US.A.
Part of the blame went to Ber-
nard M. Baruch, criticized for turn
ing the key on his War Industries
Board Immediately after the war,
and going home.
Now, instead of seven billions
there are about rs billion dollars
worth of surplus war goods-ln-
Guiding 1900 new war plants built
with rs billions of Government
funds. Months ago, Republican
Representative Charles Halleck oil
Indiana and Democrat Wright Pat
man of Texas started work on a
bill to provide the equitable sale
Of postwar Government property
