IS. Marines and infantry
pressed for a quick cleanup
today on strategic Saipan is
land within bombing range
of Japan, powerfully aided by
American carrier task force
smashes at enemy bases on
, islands to the north and
south.
The Nipponese, squeezed into a
corner at the north end of this
Marianas island, are making a fl
nal gesture for their emperor.
The showdown clash is being
fought in an area the Japanese ex-
pected they must one day defend
1t is filled with pillboxes, block
houses and shelters. Every cave
is manned by enemy riflemen and
machine gunners.
More than 1000 miles southwark
other American fighting men push
ed this rapid conquest of Noem-
foor island, stepping stone on the
invasion route to Mindanao, Japa-
nese stronghold at the southern
end of the Philippines.
Reinforced by paratroopers and
running roughshod against minor
opposition. American infantrymen
captured Kornasoren airdrome on
Noemfoor to complete two-thirds
of the job assiged when Gen.
Douglas Macarthur sent them
ashore Sunday and they quickly
captured the first airfield.
In lightning two-day strike in
to Japan's Volcano and Bonn is
lands, an american carrier task
force sank or beached three de-
stroyers, sank two other vessels,
damaged several others and de-
stroyed "a to 80 planes in combat.
Nine American carrier planes were
lost. Not one U. S. surface vessel
was damaged
Planes Of the speedy task force
struck first at Two island in the
Volcano group. Fifty-five enemy
planes, and probably "a more, were
destroyed at Two, which is 755
miles southeast of Tokyo.
On Independence day, the task
force knitted northward into the
Bonins to give the Japs taste
of an American Fourth of July
celebration and also smacked Two
again.
The smash at Haha island in
the Bonins was within 615 miles
of Tokyo. 1t was in these twin
strikes that much enemy shipping
was sunk or damaged. Twenty five
more Japanese planes were de-
stroyed and an undetermined num-

The meeting, presided over by
Hargrove Bellamy. temporary
chairman was called so that an
active and permanent group of
Wrightsville Beach property own
ers might be organized in the
best interest and welfare of the
citizens and to cooperate with the
local administration.
A motion that a city planning
board be organized to improve
and develop the beach was unami-
mously approved.
Several citizens voiced approval
of closing Lumina Avenue as a
public thoroughfare and restrict
ing it to one-Way street for
residents living on that street.
1t was pointed out that many old
ordinances have been enacted and
forgotten that might be of great
aid in the program if their en-
forcement was renewed One c1tl-
zen suggested that the now valio
ordinance against carrying bottles
on the beach be enforced, with a
penalty for offenders.
Other suggestions at the meeting
were municipal zoning, better
street improvement, a cleanliness
campaign, the organization of a
beautifying committee, and the
provision of safety devices on the
beach for ocean bathers.
A committee of 10 men was ap-
pointed to represent the owners
before the city administration and
to execute the motions offered at
last nights meeting. Those serv-
ing on the committee are Aaron

ARMY'S WEASEL
NEWEST CARRIER

SOUTH BEND, Ind, July 5-tR-
The 'Weaser' was born here near
ly two years ago, but the Army
only today permitted birth an
nouncement.
The Weasel is a military per-
sonnet and supply carrier designed
either for Attic reconnaissance or
commando raids. 1t is known Of
ficially as Cargo Carrier M-29,"
but G. l. Joe calls it the "Weaser'
because of it's ability to strike
swiftly and stealthily.
1t will operate in snow, deep
mud, swamp lands, sand or on
paved highways.
The key to the 'Weasers' ability
to negotiate ground surfaces inn
passable to conventional-wheeled,
or track-laying vehicles is light
weight m b n e d with broad
tracks," Vance explained. THE We
nicle seemingly skins along the
ground like its animal namesake."

OHIO Mine FIRE
TRAPS Is MEN

BELLAIRE, O., July 5-tR-An
unknown number of miners-vari-
ously estimated from 40 to IS -
was imprisoned today by fire in
the Powhatan mine, and nine hours
later an official of the United Mine
Workers expressed doubt that any
would be rescued alive.
II do not think they will find
one of them alive said Adolph
Pacifico, vice president of District
6 of the UNIV. There is no way
to get them from the back of the
shaft without forcing carbon mon
oxide gas into the chamber where
they are"
The men were trapped four miles
from the main entrance of the
shaft, Ohio's largest soft coal pit,
when falling slate struck a trolley
wire at / pm, EWT. Fires were
reported to have sprung up at three
entries.
The number of men in the block
ed section was placed at rs by
Deputy Sheriff W. S. Mclaughlin
of Belmont county and Henry Ady
of Cla-ington, a member of the res
cue crew
However, Matthew Stiecker, per-
sonnet manager for the PoWhatan
Mining company which operates the
shaft Is miles south of here, said
he believed "between 40 and 50''
were entombed.
He added ne was unable to check
the exact number because of abb
senteeism.
Roland Moves. a Wheeling, w.
Va, newspaper man, said he had
been forbidden by company repre-
sentatives to talk with rescue work
ers. A press office was set up by
the company to clear information.

Mrs. L. C. LeGwin, Jr., OF
213 South Sixth Street.
A compromise settlement
was to have been made be-
tween the soldier and the pur-
chasers by yesterday, July 5,
or else the panel was to turn
the case over to the Raleigh
district OPA office for prose-
cution, according to a copy of
the OPA letter sent to the
lieutenant.
The reason for not wanting
the case publicized before a
settlement was reached was
because printing a case be-
fore the settlement may COM
plicate matters and hinder the
purchaser from receiving the
money owed", Fay said. He
did not explain how publication
would affect any action by the
OPA.
