JAPANESE PLANES
| ATTACK WARSHlPS
Nimitz Reports Damage To
Fleet Unit, Several
Small Ships
BY LEFT ERICKSON

GUAM, Sunday, May 49,
@ - Leathernecks Of the
Sixth Marine Division drove
into a suburb of Naha, about
500 yards from .Naha itself,
as troops of the 10th U. S.
Army made a general, slow.
bitterly-fought advance along
the southern Okinawa front
yesterday.
1t. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner's
10th Army Yanks battled ahead
doggedly on the second day Of
their new full-strength drive de-
spite strong Japanese air attacks. :
These attacks, made in strength
Thursday and Friday, damaged
one major fleet unit--probably a
battleship or large carrier and
several other smaller ships, Fleet
Adm. Chester w. Nimitz said in
today's communique.
Destroy 165 Attackers
Paced by one destroyer which
alone shot down 10 Japanese air.
craft, carrier pilots and ships de.
stroyed 1865 Of the attackers.
The destroyer's 19-gun record
probably is an all-time mark for
ship Of that size in one air attack.
(The old carrier, Hornet, claimed
rs Japanese raiders downed before
she was MORALLY wounded Oct.26.
1912, and the battleship North Da.
kota claimed her guns downed 81
in defending another carrier in the
same battle. The Hornets claim
was for one 80-plane attack; Tho
North Dakota's for several at.
tacks)
The advance by Maj. Gen.
Lemuel C. Shepard's sixth marine
division into Tadamotopi was the
days outstanding forward push.
Tadamotoji is north of the Asato
river, which forms still another
natural barrier to capture of Naha
and its big airfield to the south.
The Leathernecks, at a cost Of
scores killed, bridged the Asa
river only two days ago in a daring
maneuver.
Progress
The first Marine Division and the
77th Army Division in the center
OF the Southern Okinawa line made
progress against Japanese cave
ridge positions.
On the east coast. the 96th Divi-
sion captured important strong
points and Strengthened its line.

The 96th troops hold positions

southern end of the airstrip. but
the japanese have prevented cap.

Yesterday, troops Of the 10th
army invaded small Tori island.
about SIS miles west of Okinawa.
The island was occupied without
opposition. Both Tori and Minami

Romeo Bows Out

Councilman Robert r. Romeo who, by vir-
tue Of the vote cast for him in the recent
primary was to have been in a run-off cleo
ton with Garland S. Currin also a member
of the council in the election of May 8, has
Withdrawn.
The result is there will be no run-oh and
Mr.. Currin's name will appear on the May
8 ballot as an approved candidate. And be-
cause there is no opposition ticket, he will be
on the council for the next two years in COM
pany with James e. L. Wade who led the pri.
mary voting Mayor Ronald Lane, Council.
man Robert S. LeGwin and w. E. Yopp.
Although the run-on between Romeo and
Currin would not have involved separate
election, their names appearing on the May
ballot below the candidates receiving more
than the required number Of votes, Mr.. Romeo
says in his statement of withdrawal that tt
stay in the race would have proved embarrass
ing to mutual friends and that he considers
it wise from all view points to step out. Hi:
friends will regret his decision, but agree
that to have remained would have embarrass
ed both his and Mr.. Currin's friends.

Convincing Evidence

The party of congressman who are inspect
ing the Nazi concentration camps for polit-
cal prisoners includes some members who
have been among the champions of nation
aism" and isolationism. Their inclusion in
this group is gratifying, as is their acceptance
of the invitation.
Some people in this country have always
questioned the wisdom of our war against
Germany, even after the German declaration
of war against us. They have been willing to
give Hitler credit for good works and sound
philosophy. They have listened respectfully
to some of the men who are about to witness
the handiwork of the Hitler regime which they
viewed so charitably.
There is little doubt but that the nationalist
congressman will be able to bring back to
these people vivid report which should make
clear not only what we are fighting for, but
what we are fighting against.
1t is a pity that the ultra-isolationist press
is not representa- among the editors and pub.
fishers who are also making the journey.

More RumOrs

Rumors are coming SO fast and many are
so contradictory it would be best to believe
nothing concerning the conflict across the At
lantic and particularly enemy leaders I'm
less definite confirmation comes from &C
credited Allied sources. Sometime ago the
public was told that General Eisenhower
would announce victory in Germany. 1t would
be wise to wait for his blessed assurance.
In the menatime we hear that Hitler is
dead and that he cannot live twenty-four
hours; that Goering has skipped by air with
a few millions; that Mussolini and a group
Of his followers has been executed by Italian
partisans, one reporter claiming to have seen
his corpse in its shroud.
So it goes. Press wires are filled with such
reports. Hopefully they will prove true, ex-
cept in the case of Goering. Wait until they
have been stamped by an authentic source
before accepting them at face value.

Interesting Relics

American soldiers in Germany have come
upon some interesting old relics Of bygone
time. living in comfortable seclusion until dis
turbed by the advancing invaders.
One of them was Princess Hermine.
widow of Kaiser Wilhelm. He was poor
old man with the wrong sort Of children,
she said of him. He loved Germany"
Another was the ancient, massive, iron
visaged Marshal Won Mackensen. idol OF two
generations of Prussian Junkers and perfect
symbol of German militarism. Cant you do
something to stop the Russians from killing
my chickens?" was his complaint to his
American captors.
There were others. too, including a few
fatuous, Nazi-loving Hohenollerns. But these
two are enough to provide another compel
ing reason for unconditional surrender and
the pursuit and punishmet of war criminals
Heaven forbid that Adolf Hitler should es
cape to grow old in half-forgotten, half-for-
given exile and one day be called a poor
old man who loved Germany or that Hmm.
Ter or any other top Nazi should live to COM
plain, at Sc, that the citizens of country
scourged by his own countrys mass murder.
ers were actually killing his chickens.

well deserves.
