On Two. HurI Back
Jap Counferattack
yy the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press.
PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS, Guam, Mar. S. The
Marines made limited gains in
Northern Two Jima yesterday
and hurled back a Japanese
counterattack in which hun
dreds of japanese were killed.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz an
nounced today.
Enemy dead numbered 1864 as
of 6 pm. Saturday. out of an esti-
mated garrison of 10000. There
were 81 prisoners, the majority
Korean laborers.
In bloody hand-to- hand fighting
the Marines of Maj. Gen. Clifton
B. Gates 4th Division continued
their torturous advance over terrain
which Admiral Nimitz described as
naturally suited for defensive oper-
ations."
Compressed into an ever-tighten-
ing area on Iwo's northern end the
cornered japanese are fighting with
untamed fury. Marines capturing a
gun or pillbox or blockhouse find
the garrison resisting to the death,
Associated Press War Correspondent
James Lindsey reported.
Attesting to the fierceness of the
days fight Admiral Nimitz reported
that the lines of battle were sub
stantially unchanged" and enemy
resistance was "stiffening in all
sectors" and "small-arms fire
mounting in intensity"
The 5th Division, commanded by
Maj. Gen. Keller E. Rockey. hurled
back the Japanese counterattack.
Marine Comdr. 1t. Gen. Holland
M. Smith sent a message to the 4th
Division to be read to the troops
congratulating them for exemplary
conduct and slashing attacks
against enemy positions" on Two
since landing on February 81.
Despite the concentrated hail of
surface ship shelling. combined with
aircraft straf1ng and artillery fire,
the enemy was still able to lob
heavy shells into the southern Two
airfield today as evacuation planes
landed and took off with wounded.
Carrier aircraft joined with heavy
bombers to attack Chichi Jima in
the Bonins Saturday, while Marine
aircraft. hit enemy-held islands in
the Palaus, Ponape in the Eastern
Carolines and Yap. Navy search
planes continued to raid enemy
bases in the Marshalls.

Producer of First
| Synthetic Tire
Cant Get One
y the Associated Press

If it's any comfort to "A" card
drivers, even the man credited with
making this country's first syn
thetic tire can't have new ones.
The OPA has ruled that DR.. Lucas
P. Kyrides cannot be given set
of synthetics in recognition for his
services. Reason: He's an "A" card
motorist himself, and OPA says it
has no legal ground to make an
exception.
DR.. Kyrides, who produced a syn
thetic tire back in 1913, is research
chief at the Monsanto Chemical
Co.. st. Louis. The company had
asked OPA's permission to present
new tires to the inventor chemist at
a testimonial dinner in st. Louis
tonight. Those on his car are worn
smooth, the firm said.

x, 900 jobs will serve as a cushion
to Offset the impact Of postwar
reconversion of industry.
But one can expect that special
interests of special agencies, with
their headquarters in Washington
will prevent this whole program
from being carried out. And the
program = as far as it goes in
meeting the job question-must
be carried out as a whole to do
us any good at all. The only way,
at present, in which the Cover
nors' program, as it stands, could
be integrated for the region would
be by interstate compacts. Such
compacts, involving interstate
commerce, would have to be
approved by Congress, as well as
by the legislatures of the various
states. This would take years, and
the postwar deluge would be
upon us while we waited for the
legislative green light. But CEN

Rivers navigable is planning; ana
neither of these is particularly IN
terested in the project OF electr1-
flying the farms and homes OF the

bringing industry to the region.
There has been, and still u, g
struggle for power and credit
among these Federal agencies and
a jealous guarding Of so-called

As for the immediate full en-

''Back-TO-Active Duty"
Can For Army Clothes

Discharged army veterans and
their relatives in the Northwest
were asked this week to take out
of moth balls unneeded army wool
clothing and return it to the army
to help meet shortage which has
become acute.
Col. F. B. L. Myer, commanding
officer of Seattle army service
forces depot, in issuing second
announcement on the subject,
stated that reserves of wool items
were rather tight" and the over
seas and continental need for
them is urgent.
Persons who have unwanted
wool uniforms can return them to
"active duty" by shipping them
express collect to the nearest army
post addressed to Post Quarter
master, attention Clothing and
Equipage Classification Officer. In
the state of Washington, parcels
should be sent to Fort Lewis.

west Governors plan, and could
extend those plans to meet the
increasing pressure of events.
With such an agency as a eva
on the spot to meet the impact OF
the transition, the people of the
Northwest would have the control
of their entire development CEN
tered at home. Through a eva
they would be sure that public
works, as well as private industry,
would be used for creating those
half million jobs which mean the
difference between dark depres-
sion and advancing productive
development. Through eva the
people of the Pacific Northwest
would have a voice in their own
destiny and would assure for
themselves and their children the
rich productiveness that is now
latent in the land of the Columbia
Basin.

SATURDAY. P0wWoW.

Cincinnati: Isn't the name Eisen-
hover of German origin? If so
what does it mean?-Reader.
Answer-The original German
spelling was 'Eisenhauer." In Ger
man, Essen is the word for iron
Hauer means "hewer: miner; cut
ting instrument"
San Pedro: Please comment or
the pronunciation of profile" con-
corning which there seems to be
much disagreement.-L. B. K.
Answer: Some American diction-
aries show ''PRO-feel" as first
choice, but it is little heard in good
American speech. The standard
American pronunciation rhymes the
second syllable with "file, mile"
Hondo: I have heard too many
persons speak of a cartoon" OF
cigarettes. Isn't language taught
any more in American schools?-
r. w.
Answer Yes, but remember the
old saw about leading a horse to
water. The right word is carton
