Washington, Dec. 2 - (UP) = Major Richard I. Bong of Poplar, Wis, today stood at the top of the War Departments newly-iSsued honor roll of 34 army air force fighter pilots who have destroyed 15 or more enemy planes apiece in combat.
 Together the 34 have shot down a total of 689 1-4 German and Jap anese planes-the fraction resulting from the practice of dividing cred- it when more than one pilot is in on a kill.
 The Eighth Air Force, operating in Europe, had the largest number of pilots on the list, 13. The Fifth Air Force, based in the South Pa cific, was next with 10 aces but they included Bong. with 40 kills, and Major Thomas B. Mcclure of San Antonio, Tex, with 30.
 Next in order were the 18th air force operating in the Mediterran- can with four, the Ninth operating in Europe with three, and the 18th (baSed in the South Pacific) and 14th (based in China) with two apiece.

For II he made any such statement

a statement He Is prepared to lose

he was not and will not become a can

not work under present conditions,
which are:
Cd The japanese do not have enough
airpower to make any sort Of air de-
tense.
ca The Japanese do not have enough
merchant shipping to supply the gar
risons or suficient naval escorts to
protect that shipping.
60 The japanese navy Is unwilling
to risk its main fleet in a decisive ac-
ton at present, and has suffered too
heavy losses in cruisers and destroyers
to permit of delaying actions by small
task forces.
a. Under these conditions, the gar
risons of the islands cannot support
one another. Those on key islands can
be overwhelmed by concentrations of
power which they are wholly incapable
of resisting. The rest can be ignored.
Therefore, the Japanese can no longer
defend their island outposts, and it
seems certain that our powerful am
phibious offensive will proceed at an
accelerated pace to mop up all their
outlying positions until we come within
the radius of action of shore based
aircraft from Japan and the Philippines.
The evidence grows stronger that
this will be 80, with the news from
Truk. We won r notable victory at
