But the big stuff is increasingly important in this war, as exem- plified by the Russians who mass their artillery almost hub to hub for miles when they start a big drive.
 This is why the War Depart ment has ordered an increase of seeral hundred per cent in the production of heavy shells. The announced purpose is to provide unprecedented massed firepower for American forces in combat zones.
 Another reason IS that you can replace the tons and tons of shells fired on the enemy, You can't re- place the men.

Firepower Is Killing

''F'irepower is the killing end of the business added Patterson
 It's what enables you to shoot a German with your eight-shot automatic Garand rifle before he picks you off with his gun which has less firepower. It enables you to blast out the enemy before he can throw enough to blast you out. Superior firepower can hold the enemy down from a distance and keep him from counterat- attacking and throwing you out on your neck.
 From Saipan, AP correspondent Rembert James reported that American firepower reversed the historic military ratio of casual ties on that bloody island. In the first 14 days of fighting the Amer jeans buried 1,474 of their own

WHAT IT MEANS
 IMPORTANCE OF FIREPOWER
By JAMES D. WHITE

WASHINGTON - Undersecre- tary of War Patterson said the other day that Anglo-American armies on the Norman beachhead. were approaching a point where they would have four times the firepower the Germans have.
 The German army is no anna teur when it comes to massing fIrepower, but the truly remark able thing about our fire super iority in Normandy is that it was brought in over flat beaches and across the English Channel.

 From Normandy, AP cores pondent Don Whitehead, reported that during a minute of the drive on St. Lo he tried to count the detonations of American heavy guns firing from his position. He said he gave up when the count reached 70, and the explosions were coming so fast they mingled.
 Firepower includes everything that goes bang-rifles, grenades mortars, big and little artillery, rockets and aerial bombe. The more you send the enemy the less he can hit back and the sooner heH quit

 Subsequently in Washington. the Navy announced that at the close of all oganized opposition on Saipan, American dead totalled 1859 and the Japanese l1,498-a ration of almost 5 to 1.
 Military thinkers traditionally have figured that an attacking force, striking a well-dug-in enemy, would suffer three times as many casualties as the de- lending force. On Saipan, Ameri- can firepoWer was so great that the defending Japanese paid ap- proximately to 1 in casualties against the attacking and more exposed AmerlcanS.
