In last weeks issue an error
was made in reporting the visit to

town, S. D. The item stated they
were guests at the George Ross

The item should have stated that
the visitors were guests at the home
of Mr.. Martins parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. B. Martin, where they spent
most of the time while here. And
the reference to Mr.. Martins leav-
ing for army service was also in
correct as We have been informed

Mn1itz Refutes Criticism
OfCan,paign On Okina,ua

GUAM, Sunday, June 17.-U.D-
Fleet Adm. Chester w. Nimitz
sharply refuted criticism OF the
Okinawa campaign in a special
press conference today and de-
Tended the operation conducted by
1t. Gen Simon Bolivar Buckner,
Jr., commander of the U S. 10th
Army.
In the first press conference OF
its kind ever held in the Pacific,
Nimitz told rs press correspondents
that officers in charge OF the
Okinawa campaign had been re-
sponsible for moving forces to the
inner approaches of japan, despite
limited resources.
His sharp attack was directed
against the criticism of David
Lawrence, in the Washington Post.
Lawrence had charged in an ar
ticle that the Army commanders
bungled in failing to take air bases
fast enough so that the Navy could
go about landing men and sup
plies.
Nisnitz said the military and tao
teal decisions of the Okinawa
campaign were made by General
Buckner, but that they had his
(NimitzO concurrence.
Lawrence had also charged that
the Army commanders misused
the Marines on Okninawa, hurting
them against the tough Shuri line
instead of making lend run"
plays with landing behind the
lines.
Lawrence said that this had re-
suited in men afloat suffering cas-
ualties unprecedented in ratio to
those suffered by ground forces
casualties ashore were normal
for this type of operation" Nimitz
declared, 'but I must admit that
those afloat were higher than
had expected to receive"
LaWrence's article, Nimitz said
could not Gin justice to the Of
ficers and men who have been
fighting on Okinawa, be permitted
to pass without correction"
He said the article Shows that
the author has been badly misin'
formed, so badly as to give the
impression that he has been made
use of for purposes which are not
in the best interests of the United
States"
Repeating that Lawrence hac
received information from sources
not having the best interests Of
the nation in mind, Nimitz said:
