struction but were damaged pre-
sumably were sent to Okayama fol-

The Navy's strikes at the Ryukyu

shipping, further complicating the
enemy's problem of supplying its

the Philippines.

strike, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz

DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. Aft cost
-, ,3o2. $500 to build the first B-2o
Super Fortress.
Headquarters Of the Air Technical
Service Command announced that
figure today on pointing out that 1t
took 100, ,928 Of the $25 War Bonds
to build that first Super Fortress.
The Super Forts now are costing
approximately 5000 900 each.
Brig. Gen. Ken eth Bg Wolfe,
ATSF chief Of engineering and pro-
curement, used the B-29 as an ex-
ample of the enormous cost OF
building new warplane and said:
Into the cost OF the first model
|of any warplane goes all the years
of engineering, experiments, tests
and changes. The very time it takes
costs money and the minimum time
from the first design Of new plane
to the completion of the first pro-
duction model is about three years.
Gen. Wolfe said $84, $50 was spent
even before the original contract for
the Super Fort was let. That went
for preliminary engineering infor-
nation.
The original contract was for
81 ,804 $40, but that later was re-

In explaining the circumstances of
his reply to the Hypothetical
question" at Denver, Gen. Hershey
said at the outset of his letter that
''it was clearly indicated by me at
the time that my personal opinion
was not popular and would probably
not be given consideration"
He added:
There was no question at this
press conference in Denver but that
the responsibility for rehabilitation
OF the armed forces personnel was a
responsibility of the heads of the
War and Navy Departments and not
a responsibility of the director Of
selective service. The interest of
the director of selective service In
rehabilitation stems from his legal
responsibilities for replacing vet
Grams in their former positions or for
aiding them in finding new ones"
After Gov. Dewey first raised this
issue, President Roosevelt suggest
&c at news conference that it was
the business of the selective service
head to get men into the armed
services-not get them out.
Gen. Hershey said he had re-
trained from comment on the Den
yer incident with the feeling that
the announcements by the War and
Navy Departments subsequent to
the time of this press conference
clearly indicated the policies of the
Government in regard to demobili-
1ation"

War, Navy and selective service
representatives, he continued, ap-
peared before the House Military
Affairs Committee before the War
Department had announced its de-
mobilization plan, which was based
on ideas Of Army personnel.
The committee OF the Congress
was at that time informed" Gen.
Hershey explained, that the needs
OF the armed forces to defeat Japan
and the availability of shipping
would be the only regulating factors
governing rate of rehabilitation
OF personnel, after the defeat of
Germany" - s3 =

legislation enacted in the closing
Gays OF Congress also includes a

holding men in service.
This fact was referred to by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his radio speech
of October 5.
In his earlier address to the
teamsters' union, the President
denounced "callous and brazen false
hoods about rehabilitation" and
charged this line of COP attack was

The analysis added several para
graphs from this speech. which fol-
lowed that quoted by Gov. Dewey,
underscoring the Presidents fur
ther statement that II am COM
PEELED and you are compelled, never
theless, to look ahead"
The analysis also sought to dis
pute the Interpretation put on a
remark by Gen. Marshall in 1940-
a year after the war started-that
the Army was only rs per cent
ready"
Dealing with a report by Gen.
Arnold containing the statement
that Pearl Harbor day found the
Army Air Forces equipped with
plans but not planes" the analysis
set out the context omitted by Gov.
Dewey In which Gen. Arnold told
OF the work done in 194l to build
up the air force, and in which he
said that "the resourcefulness and
energy OF our people would have
been of little avail against our enc
mics II the Army Air Forces had
not begun preparations for war long
before Pearl Harbor."
Berle Condemns Dewey Tactics.
Gov. Dewey's attack which in
duced the Berle rejoinder was in a
speech critical of President Roose-
velts reputation of Communist
support in his campaign.
Mr.. Berle said the Republican
candidate ripped a single sentence"
from the document which was pre-
pared In 1889, and used it to show
that the administration advocates
Government ownership of industry
although the entire memorandum
shows the exact opposite"
Quoting text which he said clearly
defined the economic program &C

said Gov. Dewey's tactics consti-
tuted "a clear attempt to play fast
and loose with the American public. /"

The town, 25 miles northwest OF
Japanese-held Tanchuk, lies at the
juncture of the Liu and West Rivers

The way appeared open for a

japanese were driving on the city

Observers in this wartime capital
expressed belief that shipping losses
suffered by the Japanese in raids
on Formosa and Ryukyu or Luchu
Islands might affect the positions
OF Japanese garrisons holding key
points on the China coast. These
garrisons must be supplied by sea.
The losses also might affect a Japa-
nese push on Liuchow, the observ-
ers said, because there, also, the
enemy depends on seaborne supplies.

was prompted by two main reasons.
Evidently guerrilla activity has in-
creased to the point where the
Japanese would lose prestige II they
attempted to ignore It. At the same
time the Ambassador" spoke In OBJ
vioux III temper which Indicated
that Japanese dissatisfaction would
bring harsher determination At
tempts.
The guerrillas have been present
constantly during the japanese
reign. At times their military Inn
portance was slight, but they were
. constant symbol to keep alive the
flame Of resistance among the
people.
