u. S. Marines Take
Tinian's High Peak
Continued from Page One)

Heaviest casualties were inflict-
ed on the enemy when the Ma
rines broke up a strong counter
attack before dawn on the second
day. Five Japanese tanks were de-
stroyed and when it was over the
enemy dead lay in piles in front
of the American lines. The Leath-
ernecks counted more than 1000 in
two small areas.
While patrols probed into re-
naming Japanese positions on thy
northern end of the island, landing
craft poured thousands of tons of
tanks, ammunition fuel and other
supplies on the broadening beach
head. Their arrival allayed any
worry of Marine commanders that
the troops would be able to 60
ahead without delay.
Progress of the battle was ea\y
visible from the decks of this flag
ship close off Tinian's western
shore. Spectators, including a score
of wounded Marines brought aboard
for treatment, could hear machine
guns and sniff the dust and the
pungent odor of cordite from burst
ing bombs and artillery shells. The
bombs came from American dive
bombers. The shells, with few ex-
ceptions, were from long-range
American batteries set up across
the narrow channel on the southern
end Of Saipan.

sIn some cases it may be neces-

The surgeon general said the

be used for the more serious med
zeal and combat cases. Gonzales

McIatire also reported that:
Navy men in general are in bet

There have been no epidemics
of importance in the navy this

Fewer tropical diseases have
been found on islands captured in

Rains totalling from one to four
inches have drenched the state
catching many of tn e western

ALTHOUGH wheat is being moved

Ordinarily, the wheat harvest is

however, a shortage of labor, box

Of wheat diverted to war. ship

the harvest far behind it's usual
