Marine Flyers Tilt
With Selections

But for the necessity to get back
across the border which meant call
ing the game at the end of the fifth,
it may be they still would be piling
up goose eggs in a softball game at
Mexicali Wednesday evening be-
tween Marine Flyers and the Selec-
cions. The score was, Of course,
nothing to nothing VIXEN the signal
came to the Marines to get back
into the U. S. A.
In other words, it was a pitchers
battle. For the south-of -the-border
team, Ouinonen struck out II Of
the 20 batters to face him, and al
lowed three hits. Schwenn, for the
Marines, didn't have SO many strike
outs, only five of the 19 batters to
swing But he allowed no hits. Err
pelding, new manager of the Flyers,
annexed two hits with two times
at bat.

Three Cat transport planes and Is
men comprising their crews yester-
day were officially reported missing
off the North Carolina coast by the
commanding officer of this Army
air base at which the men and
planes were stationed.
The planes were on an over-water
training flight Friday night when
last heard from. Since then con-
tinual and extensive search has
been conducted by Army, Navy and

terminated last night, the an
nouncement said, with exhaustion
of all hope of finding them.

Time for Fleet Blow Not Ripe
In Morionos Area, Jops Say

Since then. the japanese warships
have not ventured within striking
distance of American forces prowl-
ing the waters of the Western Pa
cific.
Our feet will not act on the spur
OF an impulse" Ito said in the
Tokyo broadcast. "A commander in
chief who orders his fleet to plunge
into the enemy without second
thought might be brave and gal
liant commander, but not a great
commander. If without considera-
ton OF all disadvantageous factors,
he dares to make reckless plunge
at the enemy. he is certainly fool
ish commander"
American submarine, air and ma
val blows have whitfield the Japa-
nese feet appreciably since the
Pearl Harbor attack, particularly
in cruiser and destroyer strength.
Last estimates placed Japanese ma
val strength at 10 or II battleships.
Z to heavy cruisers, 80 to IS light
cruisers, 70 to 80 destroyers and 80
to 100 submarines.
Superior to Jap Strength.
American naval strength is more
than double and the great bulk Is
believed based in the Pacific. Two
days ago Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal said the United States
Navy had 1,149 fighting ships in
service and many more under con-
struction, exclusive of tens Of thou
sands of landing craft and auxil-
iaries. Present strength of naval
aircraft was estimated at 5000,
many times the number Of planes
available in all Japanese armed
services. Scores of the Navy's fight
ing ships are carriers and about 20
or more battleships are in service.
1T is certain that our combined
fleet is exerting all efforts to have
superior air strength concentrated
on a main theater Of war before the
actual start of battle" Ito's broad
cast said. "A big naval battle al
ways is followed by second battle
which usually is decisive. Naturally,
the strength which is to be thrown
into such second battle must be
taken into full consideration.
The main theater Of q naval
battle should be selected in waters
where collaboration with land based
force is available. Our side is re-
peatedly making fierce sectional
attacks on groups Of enemy aircraft
carriers, thus steadily diminishing
the enemy's strength until the gold
en- opportunity arrives for our COM
bined heet."

Rivers over rising ground and

the ones through which the Ameri-
cans have been blowing to the west.
The size of the fields gives promise
that the British and Canadians will
have less dificulty with German
hedgeroW defenses than the Ameri-
cans.
Less Trouble With Mines.
The fact that the road is paved
may mean that the attacking troops
will not have great trouble with
mines. 1t is possible to mine a
paved road but the mines are more
easily spotted and uprooted.
The terrain rises from an eleva-
ton OF $50 feet to around 400 feet
within 3 miles. Near Falaise, 20
miles to the south. it reaches $50
feet. This is something of a climb.
but possibly it is less troublesome
than the low ground along the
Vimont road, which is more easily
commanded by enemy fire. There
are no towns of any size along the
highway before Falaise, but there
are number of villages where the
Germans might make a temporary
stand.
The Dives River on the eastern
side OF the ridge beyond Troarn is
10 miles from the focal point of
the new thrust.
Gen. Montgomery's headquarters
SAID the attack came as a sequel
to the clearing up of the bottle
neck at Caen." This was understood
tc mean the mopping up of the last
of the small German salients in an
arc roughly miles south of the
