from Munich July IL that the
press departmnt of the American
Military Government in Bavaria
had a staff of German news
papermen circulating among the
German population and writing
articles that are passed on to
Allied correspondents by the
military government.
Frequently the German re-
porters have written bold criti-
cism of the Russians, and even
of the Americans, Mr.. Cowan re-
ported. He said that American
Military Government officials
explained they had the Germans
writing such articles to OBTAIN

The Red Star quoted the AL
Munich dispatch as saying "som

permission to spread Nazi propa
ganda with the aim of creating
split among the Allies"
CMr. Cowan's dispatch con-
tained no such statement.)

that in the releases written by tn

Nimitz Says SheIIing
lis Preinyasion Blow;
Barley Warns laps
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
GUAM, July 17.-Current feet
bombardment of the japanese
homeland is the "preinvasion stage"
of the war, Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz stated today while in Wash
ington Vice Admiral Daniel Barley
warned bluntly that invasion of
either Japan or China may not wait
until the end of the typhoon season.
The Tokyo radio, not to be out
done in the broadcasting of invasion
warnings, predicted early landings
on Japan and declared:
"The homeland decisive battle is
the decisive battle of all decisive
battles"
Broadcasts to United States.
Admiral Nimitz, broadcasting to
the United States just IS minutes
after flashing the announcement
that the combined United States
and British Pacific fleets were
making "the most powerful" carrier
plane attacks of the war on the
Tokyo area, said:
AliC 4O-hlS1l gum Vi Olli UdtIic-
ships, opening fire on industrial
targets on Honshu and Hokkaido
Saturday and Sunday also opened
an era in which we dominate the
Pacific approaches to Japan, and
when necessary the air above Japan.
"At this-the preinvasion stage
we rely upon two principal strategies
to further our aim: First, an ever
Tightening blockage of Japan's home
islands: second, destruction by
shelling and bombing of every in
dustry and resource which con-
tributes to Japan's ability TO make
war" t3t
Admiral Barley, commander of
the 7th Amphibious Force which
landed Gen. MacArthur's troops on
many Southwest Pacific islands and
the Philippines, in an NBC radio
interview, said weather is an i'm
portant invasion factor, but "it will
take more than big wind to stop
u.s."
Typhoons End in October.
The typhoon season virtually ends
in October, but rough weather may
be expected throughout the winter
in the Western Pacific However,
two typhoons within the past six
months failed to stop United States
Pacific Fleet actions.
Admiral Barley said landings
might be made in either Japan or
China and that 80 to 80 days would
be required for preparations, de-
pending upon the size of the in
vasion force.
Admiral Nimitz, pointing out that
Japan had failed to resist last
weeks 1,000-plane carrier raid on
Tokyo or either the 1,000-plane
raids or battleship bombardments
of Honshu and Hokkaido, asserted:
1--WE have paralyzed the will and
the ability of the japanese Navy to
come out and fight. From this
stage we must take a series of cer-
tain and progressive steps until the
will and the ability of the Japanese
people to resist is broken"
Lover of the lighter note, Ad-
miral Nimitz concluded:
There is an old proverb that the
lifeblood of Japan is in the water
of the sea. The Navy's surface
ships, submarines and aircraft are
working in concert to control that
lifeblood. We intend to deny the
enemy use of the waters surround
ing him. even down to the detail of
hampering his efforts to get fish out
of it."
