 Official reports gave only meager accounts of the fighting on Saipan, but 1t was disclosed that the Mar ines and army troops were moving steadily forward on both coasts, with the main attack apparently aimed at encircled Garapan and Tanapag Harbor on the west coast.
 Up to 1,500 Japanese were killed or recaptured in a pocket on Nafu- tan Point, at the southeastern tip of Saipan, which the Americans eli- minated Tuesday after 13 days of bloody fighting.
 Meanwhile, American naval planes struck at Pagan Island, 180 mles north of Saipan, in a continu- ing campaign to prevent enemy in- reference with the Saipan invasion. Returning pilots said only one Jap anese plane was sighted on Pagan, indicating that the enemy's air force on that island had been eli- mnated at least temporarily.
 Radio Tokyo said the Pagan raid, Tuesday, was followed by another carrier blow at Guam and Rota Is- lands Thursday. The Japanese said their planes attacked U. s. warships off the Marianas Wednesday and claimed severe damage to a large cruiser.
 Long-range U. S. Army Libera- tors from the southwest Pacific joined in the supporting lombard ment with attacks on Tap, Palau and Corol islands in the Carolines.
 Other Allied wtGplanes teamed Up with American PIT boats in the Aitape- -Wewak sector of northwest ern New Guinea to sink IS and possibly 20 Japanese barges. Two other barges, loaded with troops and ammunition, were sunk off Biak island, where American infantrymen were mopping up scattered Japan csc units.
 On the Central China front, the situation in the key railway center of Hengyang remained obscure Ckungking spokesmen said the city still was in Chinese hands last night, although Tokyo claimed its capture and a U. S. l4th Air Force communique said American and Chinese flyers bombed the nearby airfield.
 Chimes troops on the western Yunnan front closed in from three sides on the Burma road strong hold of Tenchung, cutting off all but one supply line to the almost encircled enemy garrison.

 Despite the whispered talk there is an awful stiffness, broken by an occasional groan. The air is fetid and the stench of blood and sweat fills the hold. Tn the semi-darkness the doctors, as they make their rounds, seem more like ghosts than men. They examine the records made at the first aid stations and pinned to the patients clothes. They write directions as to where each case is to be sent-the urgent ones go to a nearby field hospital base, the hiehter injured to a general hospital.

 Similar scenes are happening literally every day. Before the bombers take-off on a mission, pilots are briefed on emergency landings the location of crash fields right next to repair depots. If they can make these fields, the plane can be fully repaired in the depot shops.
 The emergency repairs can amount qto just about anything. Some ships have been flown with two of the four engines completely removed from the wings, and tons of gasoline put into the wing tank to restore the balance.
 To date, there have been no acci- dents in the flying of literally hun- dreds of crashed ships to repair de- pots. When these test pilots take a look at crash landed wreck and say she can be repaired to fly, she'll fly. You don't get a chance to make second mistake in this business.
