on July 20, and (3) during the
Oehmke- Smith repeated check
up, some establishments may still
be classified as fire traps, Thorn
as warned in reporting progress
today.
AT meeting with Oehmke
and Smith this week, Thomas
and A. d. Brewer, executive Sc
cretary of the Board of Com
merce, discussed action against
any public places which have re-
sisted the project to eradicate
fire hazards. The nature of the
planned action has not been dis
closed to date.
Thomas commented that base
ments, alleys and Railways of
business places, often choked
with inflammable refuse, have
been satisfactorily cleared since
the survey and follow-up.
BUSINESSMEN CAREFUL
The current fire bug scare
also has persuaded business peo-
pie to make sure that no inflam-
mable material is left lying near
their establishments where a
match or lighted cngarette would
start fire.
The Mount Clemens business
district survey, conducted on
May 10 by corps of so qualified
inspectors of the Michigan State
Fire Prevention Association re-
suited in 1913 inspections, and in
l57 cases fire hazards were
found.
The inspectors made 602 re-
concentrations for improve
ment, and up to the last publish
ed report, only "a per cent Of
the businessmen had complied.
Since that time, Oehmke and
Smith have raised the compli-
ance ratio considerably, Thomas
said.
The most dangerous hazards
among non-complying establish
ments, Thomas revealed, are de-
fective second and third floor
fire escapes in buildings used by
the public. 1t is this type of vio-
lation that will be spotlighted by
more serious action" shortly, he
said.

In Germany would include a
large area now in American or
British hands.
The broadcast, describing maps

Meanwhile, one report that the

Speculation Aroused by
Silence of Nimitz on
Ground Fighting
BY the Associated Press.

GUAM, June 6.-The Japs ad-
mitted today that American in
vaders have reduced Okinawa to
an isolated island" and warned
an invasion of Japan was "immi-
nent."
The virtual admission that Oki-
nawa was lost came as an unex-
planned American silence indicated
possible end of the campaign and
the semioficial Domei news agency
claimed fierce fighting" ragged be-
tween the United States 10th Army
and japanese firmly entrenched in
new positions"
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, in his
daily communique, failed even to
mention ground action on the island
reporting only American air strikes
into japanese home waters.
Such news blackouts in the past
often have preceded announcement
OF developments of major impor-
tance, such as conclusions Of cam
paigns or the launching of new in
vasions.
Japs Invasion Conscious.
Japan's invasion consciousness
was sharpened further by a plea for
its citizens to emulate the children
Of Aka Jimi, who died in hand gre
made "banzai" charges against
American troops.
The powerful Tokyo newspaper
Yomiuri Hochi saw developments on
Okinawa and "the recently intensi-
fled enemy air raids on japanese
Cities as "unquestionably signifi-
can't of a direct invasion attempt
against the Japanese homeland"
1T is high time the entire nation
burned its bridges and made the
fullest preparations for this immi-
nent development, whose outcome
will decide the rise or fall of our
country for centuries to come" said
broadcast version Of Yomiuri's
editorial.

American forces on Okinawa and re-
ported the landing of Marines on
Oroku Peninsula, below Naha, which
Admiral Nimitz disclosed yesterday
The landing force was reported by
the Japanese to include 100 tanks
and 400 to 500 infantry reinforce
ments."
Claim Sinking of Transport.
Domei also claimed "at least one
transport" was sunk and another
warship of unidentified category
severely crippled with direct tor
pedo hits" as japanese torpedo
bombers attacked American war
ships near the islands of Miyako,
Kune and Tonaki. Miyako is south
of Okinawa, while Kume and To-

The defense in the first-degree
murder trial of Joseph D. Medley
rested its case at 11:10 am,
shortly after the trial resumed
today in District Court. in a sur
prising anticlimax without call
ing the defendant to the stand.
Medley's course in not taking the
stand over the staying here of Mrs.
Nancy Boyer March 6 kept the
prosecution from bringing to the at
tention of the jury of three women
and nine men the fact he escaped
from Southern Michigan Prison last
November where he was serving
30 to so years for robbery. Had he
taken the witness stand the prose
cutien could have brought this out
for the jury to consider in deciding
whether he wa telling the truth
as q witness.
The case will go to the jury to-
morrow.
John w. Fihelly, assistant United
States Attorney, was to sum up the
evidence this afternoon. Justice T
Alan Goldsborough agreed to ad-
journ court until 10 am. tomorrow
after Mr. Fihelly finished.
Four Verdicts Open.
Justice Goldsborough decided he
would charge the jury that they
could bring in verdicts of first de-
gree, second degree murder or man
slaughter to the murder counts in
the indictment, or acquittal. The
first count charges murder and rob-
berry. Justice Goldsborough in other
cases has held that a jury may re-
turn any of the four mentioned YER
diets on such charge. Other judges
OF District Court have held that the
verdict on such charge must be
first degree murder or not guilty.

The body, smoke -blackened and

of which answered pretty well to
Hitler's description, were removed

The high command said the Japa-
nese had counterattacked from
Kukong, on the Canton -Hankow
Railroad 125 miles north Of Canton,
presumably in an attempt to break
up Chinese threat to their escape
route out Of Canton and Hong Kong.
Loss of the highway and river
town Of Hoyun, 100 miles north Of
Hong Kong, was reported by the
high command. Possession Of Hoyun
places the Japanese in q better posi-
ton to counter any invasion of the
China coast east of Hong Kong.
In Kwangsi Province, the high
command said, the Chinese con-
tinued their advance down the West

Chinese spearheads were only 10
miles from the West River inland
