connoitering for another heavy B. 29 assault on the Japanese main island.
 More bad news was building up for the harassed Japanese on Oki- nawa, where it was revealed that aerial endorsements from Gen Douglas MacArthur's Southwest Pacific command were arriving to join the Central Pacific air fleets in the knockout bombardment of Japan.
 Macarthur revealed that Mus tang fighters of the U. S. Fifth Air Force struck the Japanese home island of Kyushu on Tuesday only 36 hours after moving into their new forward bases on Okinawa. He indicated that clements of the 18th Air Force also were on the way northward for the pre-invasion bombing of Japan, making a total of four Army Air Forces already poised on the southern and south eastern approaches to the enemy homeland.
 The mounting fury of the Ameri- can air attack, now in its 31st con- secutive day, was beginning to tell on Japan's shrinking sea and air power.
 Another 19 enemy ships were sunk or damaged by Tank flyers Wednesday and Thursday, six oil China and Korea and 13 of eastern Honshu, swelling Japan's shipping losses to 268 vessels in 12 days.

 Now, Ratty Joe, when he shows up in your office, will be represent ing another phoney. That phoney's rame is Robert Rice Reynolds, for mer United States senator from North Carolina. Reynolds is try ing to organize the American Ma tionalist Party and is using the spell-binding McWilliams to gather in the spondulix for the purpose. You might want to have your memory jogged a little bit about this Tarheel.
 AS former chairman of the Sem ate Military Affairs Committee (and as the husband of Evelyn Walsh Mclean, heiress to the Hope 6iamond) he had sufficient poli- tical and social prestige to give hls nationalist party tinge of "re- spectability" He has carefully avoided Jew-baiting in his "of- ficial party organ" the National Record; indeed. he has gone out of his way to create the impression that the nationalist movement is not essentially anti-semitic, that his structures against refugees" and aliens" are from economic not racial motives. This is, of course, post-Pearl Harbor camouflage. In those olden days, the North Caro- iina senator got out paper called The Vindicator which was openly anti-semitic and pro-Axis.
 It is just possible that you money guys will get letter from Reynolds in advance . already broadcSat to money-bags in other states.
 Now, it's your own business what YOU want to do with your money and if you want to help organize a new political party in these here United States. But it's everybody's $ business, particularly the business of country loving Americans and patriots of democracy, to see that you do not unwittingly contribute your money to an effort to destroy that democracy. That's the reason we're outlining to you today what will be happening by visitation to you in Waco in the not distant fu- ture.

Admiral Jacobs, Who Trained
Victory Navy, Takes New Post
Will Become Head
Of West Coast
Naval District
By WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

The officer who supervised the
assembling and training of the larg-
est force of naval personnel to man
the greatest fleet in history yester-
day relinquished his command with
well done!" from Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal.
The formal change took place
when Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs
turned over his command as chief
OF naval personnel to Vice Admiral
L. E. Denfeld, who was his assistant
during the greater part of the period
of mobilization and training of the
enormous force of officers and men.
Admiral Jacobs is to become COM
mandant of the 18th Naval District
with headquarters at Seattle, and
comprising the States of Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
wyoming. Admiral Denfeld has
just returned from the Pacific where
he had command of a battleship
since last spring.
During the three and-a -half-year
regime of Admiral Jacobs the Nays
personnel grew from less than 400
900 to nearly 100000. The task of
assembling this great force was
tremendous in itself, but even great
er was the job of setting up a gil
gantic training program and select
ing instructors to train men of all
ages.
Under Admiral Jacobs direction,
for instance, the Navy set up train
ing facilities for 225 different skills
and providing of crews for 80 differ
ent types of combat vessels, so diff
ferent types of auxiliaries and IS
types Of landing craft. 1t included
expansion of training stations, and
taking over colleges and UNIVERSE
ties throughout the country for the
development Of much needed officer
personnel.
Many special training courses
were set up. Among these were
courses in military government at
Columbia and Princeton UNIVERSE
ties, Diesel engineering at Cornell
and other universities, radar at
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology. Oriental languages at the
University of Colorado, and fire
fighting and damage control at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard.

schools to remain calm in spite of the storm They are both right and wrong in wanting more money for public projects
 The error as we see it is in trying to accomplish overnight what their predecessors could not would not do by degrees Thus the 52 per cent average in crease in assessment likes bolt from the blue for Aaskans, accustomed to living in virtual tax paradise. That means the burden of proof is on the council that the public needs outweigh private ones, for the power to tax is the power to destroy second is in waiting until the war is near an end, relief for the housing shortage may be only few months away and war-inflated values begin to decline before hiking the assessed valuations all down the line. third error seems to be miscomprehen- sion by Howard Henretta, the assessor imported from outside to the value of ancient homes and vacant lots fourth error in letting deficit occur in the first place. deficit that is expressly forbidden by law.
 council gathers to fix the miage rate and set up the budget If the tax rate is maintained at the legal minimum of 20 mills, then the voters will have just cause to toss some brickbats and demand an ex- planation And then is the moment when hizzoner, the mayor had better have a wel-panned speech prepared as to what all that money is needed for next year and why it can't be taken in smaller portions
 With the general thesis that somewhat higher taxes justified by expanding needs for better streets, a new schoolhouse and similar improvements there be little quarrelng. Too, the city would do well to wipe out its deficit and get money on hand for postwar projects, of which there will be some But this is the tag end of the war the boom IS over here, wages going down, the employment service reports plenty of labor available, and we see no need to accomplish at fell sweep what other city councils long and blithey put off Ii private business to make similar increases in prices at this stage of the war, a general boycott would be launched immediately and justifiedly.
 There's no need to challenge the Henretta theory of overtaxng vacant lots; this theory has been suc cessfully challenged dozens of times this week. The entire markup has, matter of fact brought forth little acclaim and considerable clamor as property owners marched forth in true democratic fashion to voice their disapproval.
 The people seldom wrong. We believe the council will admit this much in refusing to go whole hog when the millage rate comes up. AS we have suggested before the city fathers would do well to name an advisory committee of half dozen men from industry labor and business to advise them on tax and budget matters each year Thus they might obtain some neutral" champions for their policies. Certain ly they would gain many wise suggestions and much appreciation from the three strata of community lie We have as yet to hear from any single group in the city that it favors 52 per cent hike in taxes this coming year.
