0kinawa Jap Dead
Tops 10000
BY WILLIAM r. TYREE

GUAM, June 25. (UP)-Japanese
casualties in the Okinawa campaign
scared past the 110,000-mark Mon
day and Tokyo finally admitted the
loss of the island.
The exact enemy toll was not
announced Immediately, but the
rate at which japanese remnants
were being mopped up-4259 were
killed or captured Saturday alone
indicated the figures soon will reach
$4,000 or, even l15,0O0.
Through Saturday, 1C9,755 Japa-
nese had been slain or taken pris-
oner since the American invasion
began April /. The total comprised
101,853 dead and 1902 prisoners, in
Guiding 2689 labor troops.
The Japanese high command con-
ceded the fall of Okinawa in COM
munique broadcast by Radio Tokyo
reporting the final banzai charges
by the army and navy garrisons. No
messages have been received from
Okinawa since last Wednesday, the
communique said.
With the Okinawa campaign def
initely at an end, the spotlight in
the western Pacific shifted to the
air offensive softening up Japan for
an eventual American invasion.
At Honolulu, Gen. Henry H. Ar
mold, commander of the army air
forces, disclosed that B-29 Superior
tresses soon would operate from new
air bases on Okinawa in addition
to their present fields in the Mar
ianaS.
Use of Okinawa bases will shave
1000 miles off the round trip to
Japan and enable the B-29s to carry
far more bombs and fly many more
missions per plane than is possible
from the Marianas, Arnold said.
Arnold said the peak of air oper-
ations against Japan would come
sometime this fall and reiterated
his prediction that American planes
will drop 100000 tons of bombs on
the enemy homeland in the COM
ing IL months.
