MARINES THRUST
JAPANESE BACK
BY The Associated Press

Hard fighting Marines on Peleli1
island knitted through the stubborn
Japanese defenders for a gain o
4 thousand yards northward {
are now in possession Of tn e {
fourths of the island, Adm. Chester
W. Nimitz announced in com
munique yesterday.
The communicate said that a
shutdown on Friday total enemy
troops known to have been killed
on Peleliu were 1920, and on near
by Angular, Yanks OF the S1s1
(Wildcat) division accounted for
$50 Nipponese.
Advancing toward the northern
end of Peleliu, the Navy said Ma
rines were moving slowly but
steadily"
Supporting the ground forces, car
rier based planes carried out a
raid on zap, northwest of the Pa
laus, against what was termed few
worthwhile targets" There was no
explanation of this phrase.
Alert patrol vessels sighted sew
en- japanese barges Friday in the
narrow channel between Peleliu
and Ngesuebus islands, sinking one
barge and forcing the others onto
Peleliu beaches where they were
destroyed in air attacks
The Japanese controlled Philip
pine Republic, startled into pre-
invasion fears by the lashing car
rier raids, declared war on the
United States and Great Britain,
Tokyo radio reported. Puppet Pres
ident Jose P. Laurel has been en-
powered by Japan to conscript Fill
ipinos to fight for Japan.
Presumably referring to Nippon's
elusive fleet, Tokyo boosted that
an American invasion of the is
lands would give the Japanese a
chance with one strategic blow
to bring complete destruction to
the enemy" In the Pacific island
battles to date. members of the i'm
perial army have been doing all
the fighting with little or no aid
from the fleet.
A radio broadcast from Berlin,
recorded by CHS, said a third
American air attack against Manila
took place Friday afternoon, add
ing that mo details are yet avail
able There has been no Allied
confirmation to this claim.
Thirteen Japanese areas in the
southwest Pacific were nit in air
strikes from the Philippines to Bou-
granville, Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thurs communique announced. At
Davao, in the southern Philippines
tn. ee small ships and five barges
and coastal ships were sunk.
A communicate from Southeast
Asia headquarters said the British
14th army has driven to a point
seven miles above the important
Japanese base OF Tiddim in Bur-
ma. The enemy launched their
drive into India from Tiddim last
spring.
Liberators of Maj. Gen. Claire
L. Chennault's air force sank an
5000 ton Japanese troop ship in,
the Formosa straits, while other
units bombed Hankow, starting
fires visible for 40 miles.

of 10000 'his Scotch soul was
furious. He had not been the same

a right to object to ibelous state
ments about my dog.
Turning serious again, the Presl'
dent said the nations military

without responsibility and without

chiefs of staff of the United States
as to the best means Of dividing
our armed forces and our military
resources between the Atlantic and
the Pacific. between the Army and
the Navy, and among the COM
manding generals of the different
theaters of war"
Replying to Governor Dewey $
reneated charge that the admin
istration has been unable to solve
unemployment, the President SAID
the keynote of his entire recon
version program can be found IN
the word "jobs."
He said the government W l
lease or dispose of plants and IA
cilities on the basis of how they
can be used best to give jobs to-
the greatest number, asserting:
1--WE shall follow a wage policy
that will sustain the purchasing
power of labor-for til means
more production and more jobs. n
"This is not the time in which
men can be forgotten as they were
in the Republican catastrophe
which we inherited. The returnlngl
soldiers, the workers by tnelr
machines, the farmers in the 1lelo'
the miners. the men and women
in offices and shops do not intend

He accused Republican leaders
of bringing into the campaign the
propaganda technique invented by
the dictators abroad. that tech
nioue: You should never u S e a
small falsehood; always b g one,
for it's very fantastic nature will
make it more credible if only you
keep repeating it over and over
again.
Republican leaders, he said, now
are asking the country to forget
what they used to say about prep
arations for defense and for the
war itself.
There are enlightened, liberal
elements in the Republican party
and they have fought hard and
honorably to bring the party up to
date and get it in step with the
forward march of American prog
ress," he said. "But these liberal
elements were not able to drive
the old guard Republicans from
their entrenched positions.
Then, accusing the opposition Of
trying to take over credit for the
social progress Of his own admin
istration, Mr.. Roosevelt asked "can
the old guard pass itself off as the
New Deal?'
IT think not.
"We have all seen many mar
velous stunts in the circus but no
performing elephants could turn
handspring without falling flat on
his back"

The President used no name in
that connection but his reference
obviously was to John L. Lewis,
United Mine Workers president,
who is a fourth term opponent.

the record of war production and
prefer to concentrate on the strikes,
even though 1.-The fact is that since
Pearl Harbor only one tenth OF enc
per cent of man hours have been
lost by strikes"
The President took his listeners
back to 1882, period he described
in these words:
CLOSED banks and the bread
lines and starvation wages"
He said some politicians find 1t
to forget that period,
"but the record is not to be washed
away that easily" 81.
He termed 1.-The most ridiculous
of these campaign falsifications"
an assertion that his administration
failed to prepare for war.

would have tried that one," he said.

Mr.. Roosevelt said there are

They include, he said, the job

ing our own economy from war to

moved up TO command the
American Seventh Army.
II was Patton who dashed
ashore in Sicily with his troops.
not too far behind the first
waves, to hit the beaches at
Celia. II was Patton who over
took his srmor in the mad dash
for Palermo.
b Patton personally inspired the
two amphibious landings behind
the enemy lines as the American
forces advanced along the north
ern coast of Sicily. Both "inva-
sions within an invasion" were
spectacular and well-carried out.
Both were mildly successful in
gains made and prisoners taken.
But since for most of the 38
days in Sicily the American sec
tor was never wide enough 20
permit more than one of Pat
toms two corps, il was General
Bradley and his Second Corps
which carried the burden.
CLOSE CALL
One of Patton's innumerable
close calls came when, with his
usual flying column of recon-
Nuisance cars, tanks and motor
cycles, he entered Messina a few
hours after the. city fell. Until
then the Italian costal batteries
two miles across the Straits OF
Messina had remained quiet.
Perhaps ii was just fate. perhaps
the enemy had good glasses.
Anyway, when the general ar
rived in town. so did the shells.
One of the first to land wounded
an American cameraman who
was photographing the general.
Much has been written of the
Patton incident" What direct
effect it had on his career is not
known. How he reacted to the
home-front blast is hard to say;
his driver told me "the old man
had quieted down a bit" This
was when the general was still

his original Seventh Army re-
naming. and with the spotlight
now on Italy and the pending in
vasion of France. From the end

II is no misnomer either, as
on three separate occasions Sgt.
Burden has taken over the con-
trolls Of his B-24 when through
injury or pre-occupation of the
pilot or co-pilot he has taken
over the controls and brought

His latest "pinch hit" came
on raid over zap Island in Ne
Carolines. Rain squalls obscur-
ed the rendezvous and his B-24
arrived late. When they did
arrive the Japs were ready with
a terrific barrage Of anti-air-
craft fire. The pilot was wound
ed and Burden took over.
Then there were two othel
