PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Guam, Sunday, Feb. 25.-
Vice Admiral Marc A. MitScher'
task force, largest in the world
is sending waves of carrier planes
against Tokyo today in strength
estimated by the enemy at 1900
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz an
nounced in a special communique
that Admiral Mitscher's mighty air
arm, which kept the enemy fleet in
hiding and overwhelmed Tokyo's
defenses February Is and II, is
back at it again.
A Tokyo broadcast, made while
the raid was in progress, described
it as even in greater strength than
the two earlier attacks which de-
stroyed or damaged. $50 japanese
planes and So ships, including an
escort carrier and three deStroyers.
Fierce Air Battles Reported.
Fierce aerial interceptive battles
are taking place. the enemy
claimed.
The broadcast said the raid was
concentrated on the Kanto district
which embraces Tokyo and Yoko-
hama. 1t includes 10 neighboring
prefectures.
Tokyo said the attack on the city
of 100000 people began at am.
Tokoys claims drew no immediate
Navy comment. The headquarters
communique reported the raid with
out elaboration.
(The purpose of the new attack
most likely is to keep cut up and
pinned down any enemy home air
feet which could be sent $50 miles
south to support the Japanese gar
rison being pushed back into the
north half of invaded Two Jima)
From Tokyo to Yokohoma
Admiral Nimitz said the carrier
aircraft are attacking military,
naval and air installations lin and
drOunQ TOKYO.
AS on the other two-day raid,
which preceded the marine inva-
sion of Two, Admiral Mitschers task
force is backed by mighty 45,000-
ton battleships and lesser units of
Admiral Raymond A. Spruance's
5th Fleet.
The 5th is in such great strength
that it can send a force large
enough to handle anything the
Japanese home feet might offer
while other big units constantly
she'll Iwo's eight square miles in
support of leathernecks who are
in the seventh day of their in
vasion there.
Admiral Ninitz made no refer
ence to the size of the carrier force
but the enemy radio reports indi-
Gated it was larger than that of
February Is and II when some
1.50O Hellcats. Helldivers and Aven-
gers blasted Tokyo's 200-odd square
miles.
Thus the 5th Fleet once more is
challenging the japanese fleet,
twice trounced in engagements dat
ing back to last June, to come out
and fight.
In the February 1917 onslaught,
not an American warship was dam
aged, but 49 raiding planes were
lost along with between 80 and 40
pilots.
The nature Of the targets speci-
fed as under attack now supported
the likelihood that the new assault
is as powerful as was that earlier in
the month-the first such large
scale carrier attack of the war on
JaOan proper

SUPREME ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, Paris, Feb. 24.-Gen.
Eisenhower said today that the
new Allied offensive was aimed
at reaching the Rhine and that
it was progressing satisfactorily
in coordination with Red Army
operations on the eastern front.
The Allied leader made 1t clear,
however, that he had no hope of
an imminent German collapse and
anticipated a hard fight which
would end only when Allied armies
meet the Russians "in the center Of
Germany"
Even after organized resistance is
crushed guerrilla fighting from the
mountains may be looked for, Gen.
Eisenhower said. and even after
that Is ended the Germans may
persist in underground battles and
continue the struggle by assassina-
ton and plotting.
Addresses Correspondents.
Gen. Eisenhower addressed war
correspondents on arrival from the
front area and came with informa-
ton of the progress of battle up to
20 minutes before his appearance in
front of the great maps in the
briefing room at headquarters.
The general appeared well and
healthy and smiled broadly as usual
when he began to speak.
The Allied attack is progressing
as fayorably as can be expected, he
said, adding, II expect to destroy
every German west of the Rhine in
the area in which we are attacking" :"
Given a continuation of condi-
tiorAs as we see them now and a
reasonable break in the weather
and am not asking for July Kansas
weather-the attacks we are seeing
now should mark the beginning of
the destruction of German forces
west of the Rhine" he said.
The commander in chief said he
expected Allied losses in the current
drive would be lower per division
than those of the sweep through
France or in the repulse of the De-
cember Ardennes break-through.
No Cessation Of Action.
There is going to be no cessa-
tion OF aggressive action anywhere
on the western 'front.'" he said.
Gen. Eisenhower said that the
American 9Th Army was placed
under the command of British Field
Marshal Montgomery to meet the
exigencies of battlefield co-ordina-
ton.
He also said he had satisfactory
liaison with the Russian Army.
German strength and morale is
lower than evers before, the general
said, but despite this the Germans
are resisting fanatically, throwing
boys, old men and cripples into the
battle
He said that the wrestling of ST.
lesia, the Ruhr and the Saar from
the enemy would deprive the Ger
mans of the means to carry on or
ganized modern war, but after that
they might still obtain small arms

The prosecuting attorneys, Dis

an admitted signed confession to
the killing in which Bosarge said
he hit the girl on the head with

me in the bath room and she
staggered back into the room
and | may have struck her
again."
The nude body of the girl, who
had gone to the hotel with Boz

come to meet failed to receive
her telegram giving the time of
arrival and did not meet the bus,
was found about IA hours after
she and Bosarge had taken the

children. In plants hybrid corn
is well known as an example Of
this vigor.
IN the Clemson experiment,
more than 400 young pigs were
used. half pure breeds and half
hybrids. The pure greeds were
Berkshires and Poland Chinas,
the hybrids crosses with one Or
the other Of these two breeds.
The average results put the
hybrids ahead in every respect
measured. The hybrids were !
little heavier at birth. More of
them were weaned. and more Of
them raised. AT weaving the
crosses weighed more by an av-
erage Of five pounds.
The experiment was continued
until each pig reached the weight
Of 200 pounds. The hybrids
reached this weight one week
and two days ahead Of the pure
bred pigs.
To do this, the hybrids ate less
corn and also less of the supple
mental nutrition given to fatten
pigs for the market.

Reduced outstanding rehabili-

Breeding Tests
Cross Parents
Of Same Farrow

CLEMSON S. C.-The ability
of a pig to have two breeds of
young simultaneously in the
same litter, each the progeny Of
a different father, has been used
at Clemson College to show def
initely how to produce more
pork, faster and cheaper.
The experiments were made
by L. v. Starkey, E. G. Cooley
and E. d. Kyzer. Berkshire sows
were bred to Berkshire boars
and also to Duroc bears. Poland
China sows were bred similarly
to their own kind and to Duroc
bears.
The litters contained pure bred
pigs. when the piglets were
fathered by the boar Of the same
breed, and hybrids when they
came from the other breed ia
Their.
Sometimes al would be pure
bred, or all hybrids. but more
often a split between the two.
These split families were ire
quently about fifty-fifsy Of the
two species Of piglets. Being
born of the same mothers, this
gave an unusual opportunity to
learn whether hybrid vigor
would produce more meat than
pure bred stock.
Hybrid vigor IS a phenomenon
known in many crosses Of spe-
cies. There are examples n hui
