UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS AT PEARL HARBOR, July To-. Our forces are in complete con- trol of Saipan," Admiral Nimitz said today, in referring to the is- land. as the crossroads of Japans Pacific supply lines.
 The admiral announced in his communique, that Organized re- sistance collapsed Saturday after noon, ending the four-weeks' campaign in the southern Mari anas Islands, which cost the Jap anese at least 58 ships, 900 planes arS1 more than 12,000 soldiers, in the longest, bitterest and most costly campaign of the central western Pacific"
 The report continued:
 'The elimination of scattered and disorganized remnants of the enemy force was progressing rap idly"
 The dangerous process of clean ing up the few thousand enemy troops scattered in caves and crevices, still faces the U. S. ma rines and soldiers.
 In the actual ground campaign of 25 days, an estimated garrison of 10000 Japanese troops (nearly five times as many as have been encountered in any atoll in the Gilbert or Marshall Islands, were encountered.
 During the campaign, carrier based planes bombed, strafed and showered rocket bombs on Guam and Rota Islands. which flank Saipan in the Marianas chain.
 During the last two days of the ground campaign the fighter planes shot down nine of the Jap anese fighter planes which at tempted to fly from Guam and also shot down six twin-engined craft and probably two more on the ground.
