 B-29s' Attack
 It was more than two years be- fore we hit Japan again. But then it was on a plane undreamed ot below "top secret" circles when the war began.
 The first Superfortresses took of from China bases on June 15, 1914, to strike the Japanese steel center of Yawata, on Kyushu. Three weeks later, on July 2, they paid return visit and hit two other industrial targets as well. Their bombs con- tinued to fall on the centers of Japan's war production.
 On Nov. A, 1914, Superfortresses from newly won Saipan took the air war-111 planes strong-to Tokyo for the first time since Doolittle's 30 men had taken their long chance This time there was less than a week to clean up.
 On Jan. 6, 1945, the B-29s made their last attack on Kyushu from China bases. The 20th air force moved out to the islands.
 On the round trip from the Mari anas, B-29 crewmen flew 5000 miles about IS hours in the air.
 The Japanese had little defense against the early B-29 raids. The giant bombers flew above their anti aircraft fire. Fighter planes had no apparent effect.
 On Jan. 27, 1945, the Japanese thought they had the problem lick ed. Swarms of fighters-the 1arg- est force the enemy had yet put into the air-awaited the Superfortresses They were shot down like flies. To Japanese losses of 57 lost and 62 damaged, we lost five planes.

Ferocious Land Battles DroDe Enemy Back To Japan

anese troops were taken alive on Olinawa. Never before had so many surrendered.
 By the time Okinawa was de- clared won on June 22 after an 82- day campaign, the Japanese had lost well over 100000 men killed on the island. And during the months of mopping up that followed, 13,00C more Japs were killed or captured
 Our losses were more than 1l,00C dead or missing, some 8, 900 wound ed.
 But the dirtiest job America ever had undertaken was done. The march across the vast Pacific had been accomplished. The solemn promise America had made more than three and half years before had been fulfilled.
 Invasion Plans
 America had one other great land campaign-and 1t is held for last ir the telling of the land battles be- cause 1t marked the final redemp- tion of American honor and the most costly defeat for the Japs. It is the battle of the Philippines.
 On April g, 1922, some 25,00O American and Filipino troops had surrendered to the Japs on Bataan beaten not by the enemy but by starvation, disease and lack oi equipment.
 Some two and a half years later Gen. Douglas MacArthur redeemed a pledge.
 T shall return" he had told his weary fighters in the Philippines.
 People of the Philippines I have returned" he said in a broadcast on Oct. 20, 1924.
 During the next six months, the Japanese lost an army of 450,00C men. And on April 20 this year MacArthur was able to announce his forces had won control of all the Philippines.
 Air Force
 American air power in the Pacific virtually non-existent after Japan's war-opening thrust had paralyzed peace time" air force in Hawaii and the Philippines, did not begin to strike in force at Japan's home islands until two and half years after Pearl Harbor.
 For those 32 months, with the single exception of Gen. James A Doolittle's "Shangri-La" raid on Tokyo, Army and Navy Air Forces had concentrated their growing power in support of the ground forces and island landings which ringed Japan with American steel
 By the time the first Superfort- ress was ready to fly over Japan on June IS, 1944-those Pacific island bases were in sight.
 Doolittle's Army bombers, who went aloft from the deck of Admiral Marc Mitscher's carrier Hornet gave Japan 8 poor sample of what was to come-and plenty of time te pick up the pieces. But they boosted American spirits in the dark day. when enemy forces were still push. ing us southward in the grim fiight toward Australia.

 On the day that American Ma rine and Army troops first stormed ashore on Okinawa, Mustang fight CTS based on newly captured Two Jima escorted the B-29's against Japan for the first time. The tiny. blood-soaked island became a ha- ven for hundreds of the Super fortresses.

 By June, as many as $50 B-29's were flying almost unopposed in single raids over Japan. Then the capture of Okinawa but the enemy homeland within the range of smaller bombers as well.
 Gen. Carl A. Spaatz took over the command of the U. S. strategic air force in the Pacific, including Doolittle,s 9th air force and the 20th, now headed by It. Gen. Nathan F. Twining.

does one have to bring his lunch

The fight fans in these parts for
the past two years have only seen

for them for a change The
question is can two small fighters
do enough to keep the fans inter-
ested for Is rounds? You'll all

fistic treat . . Our guess is that
Tony Olivera is going to win to-
nights fight. 1t is our opinion
that he is the best all around
fighter of the two . He punches
better Has a better left hand
and says that he can go the Is
rounds with ease.

Eddie Williams, the new pro-

Roosevelt's Lost Request
Was Continuance FEPC

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA).
President Roosevelt's last re-
quest, made on the day he died,
was for the continuation of FEPC,
Rep. Adolph SABBATH, chairman of
the House Rules Committee, re-
vealed on the floor of the House
last week.
During debate on FEPC, SABBATH
declared: May l in conclusion say
this? Not only is President Tru-
man in favor of the legislation, but
the very last request made by the
late President Roosevelt on the day
that he died, was that the Fair. EN-
ployment Practice Commission be
continued. His secretary called on
me at 8 o'clock in the afternoon or
that day conveying the Presidents
request that l do everything in my
power to endeavor to bring about
the adoption of rule for this legis-
lation. 4
in view of the fact that our late
President and our present great
President, as we'll as the Republican
and the Democratic Conventions,
are on record favoring this legisla-
ton, 1 cannot see why favorable
action should not be taken, why
the rule should not be granted, and
why there should be any objection
on the part of any one making this
countrywide demanded Legislation
