Their operations extend from Sa-
linas to this valley in the agricul-
tural field. Covering nearly 5000
acres of perishable vegetables they
have provided employment for near

While they have also experienced
some labor difficulties due to the

Tokyo Broadcast Warns Sdipdn Battle Most
 Critical of War
(By Associated Press)

Etsuzo Kurihara, Chief of the Naval Press Section of Jap Head quarters, declared in a formal state ment, broadcast from Tokyo, that "the battle situation in the Saipan area is the most critical one since the beginning of the war"
 The statement, which was record ed in New York by the Office of War Information, said that a major effort will be necessary to turn back advanced naval elements 'centered around more than 20 aircraft car- riers, more than a dozen battleships, and more than 100 transport ships. The enemy's plane advance is the greatest since the beginning of the war in strength of main force and in the furiousness of the enemy's fighting morale.'
 He said that Saipan is only 1,268 nautical miles from Tokyo and 1,- 500 nautical miles from the. Philip pines. Therefore if the enemy suc- ceeds in building powerful air base there the influence to our sea and air supremacy in the western Pa cific will be extremely great. If the enemy uses large type bombers the homeland of Japan and the Phil ippines will be exposed and within bombing sphere. of, enemy planes"
 The. statement was broadcast on the Jap home radio as well as abroad and admitted that the Saipan op- eration will advance the enemy into our inner line"

been subjected to two defeats by the Diesels in the three games played last season. This isn't the ordinary turn. of events at Dexter Park. since the Brooklyn club Is no doubt the best semi-pro outfit in the country and usually have things their own way when a wis iting semi-pro team shows. The Diesels showed no respect what soever for the nationwide reputa- tion of the New Workers and pro- ceeded to take the two out of three series.
 The Bushwick manager has en- deavored to induce Frank Murphy to bring his team to town earlier than June II. but Murphy cleverly pushed the date of the contests as far along in the season as possible, in order to have his team in the best playing condition. This is a big test for the locals and could mean the difference between good or bad season. Coach Tuneski will have his three top pitchers ready for the games. It is likely Bill Cluzeski will see some service on the mound. If the weather is good and hot, Bill and Jim McKenna can be counted on heavily, while the dependable Chet Pavlok, who set the Bushwicks down so neatly last year, will pitch the opening game.
 The Diesels may meet the Meri- den Contelcos again in New Lon- don the Sunday following the New York trip. The first game was a bitterly contested affair right up to the last inning, with time out for few fistic encounters between Johnny Bolart and Pat Rose. It will be natural, and should pack 'em in at Mercer Field.
 There is game pending for Sunday, June 25, and on the 28th, the E. B. boys play the Sunset League All-Stars in a night game at Newport. The Diesels will be out to avenge last years loss to the All-Stars.
