1000 Plane
Attack Hits
Four Cities
HITACHI SHELLED
Iowa, Other W arships
Hurl $4,000 Pounds

BY RAY CRONIN
Associated Press War Editor

The war against Japan flared
with unprecedented fury Tuesday
as American Warships trained
their big guns on a vital industrial
center only so miles from Tokyo
soon after some 1000 planes had
heavily lashed the sprawling cap
ital region and four cities.
Close to 500 Superforts opened
the attacks before dawn. Then
some 1880 American and British
carrier planes roared in on the
heart of the war-batteo empire.
An hour before midnight the Yanlz
warships, spearheaded by the
super-battleship Iowa with her IT,
inch runs, boldly steamed close to
the East Coast of main Honshu is
land and ripped the industrial city
of Hitschi with thousands OF tons
Of shells.
The warships, striking the Japa-
nese homeland for the third time
within four days, still were spew-
Ling hot steel ashore when Fleet
Adm. Chester w. Nimitz reported
the attack. In an earlier announce
ment the Admiral made it clear
that Japan was undergoing pre-lil-
vasion assaults.
An NBC correspondent, reporting
from a battleship off Hitachi as the
big guns sent Salvo after Salvo IN
to war industries, said the shells
were pouring ashore at a rate CT
sc, 900, pounds minute.
And to all this the Japanese Of
fered only token resistance.
At Hitachi the warships hammer
ed some of Japan's most vital war
plants-cooper smelters and re-
fineries, factories making plane
parts and other ornaments.
The city is 80 miles Northwest Of
Tokyo.
The carrier planes, about 1,500
strong, took off at dawn to hammer
airfields and other important tar
gets around the vast Tokyo region.
Preceding them were the Super
forts. The B-29's spilled fire bombs
on three Konshu industrial cities
and one on Kyushu.
Meanwhile Nimitz disclosed that
naval airmen from the powerful
Third Fleets carriers, chalked up
this box score as they dashed Hon
shu and Hokkaido islands over the
Weekend:
374 surface craft and 120 loco
motives knocked out; 81 planes
destroyed and As damaged; rail-
lines shot up.

in a closed limousine with Jose
Arrese, secretary general of the
party who repeatedly had sub,
mitted his resignation. All mem.
bers of the council wore Falange
uniforms but they greeted Franco
with the cry: Franco! Franco!
and at the conclusion of his speech
shouted!
Franco! Spain!", instead of the
customary Falange cry of Fran

Franco denounced Communism
and scorned Democracy, declaring
that civil war and outbreaks oc.

a republic had twice been the

WASHINGTON, July 17.-WD-
The United States has almost com
pleted the terms which Japan will
be required to meet after uncon-
ditional surrender, it was revealed
tonight.
They are much the same as those
imposed upon Germany. They
would give the Allies immediate
control of the Japanese military
machine and war industry and
would force the enemy to yield all
conquered territory, including Man.
churia, Korea and Formosa.
The terms cover the initial phas-
es of occupation. Permanent con-
| trolls would be worked out by the
United Nations later.

Companionship For Lonely War Wives Is Vital Need

evenings. There's such a club in Chicago, sponsored by the YWCA where men and women of % or over can drop in and find compan- ionship.
 INNOCENT RECREATION
 Such club might well be spon- sored in every town by woman'S organization. a church group, or some civic center. Society can cer- tainly find no objection to lonely men and women getting together of ran evening to dance, play games, or just talk.
 And if such innocent recreation were provided for both husbands and wives separated by the neces- sites of war, there would probably be fewer husbands and wives driv- en by loneliness into dating and starting cheap flirtations and af- fairs.
 The man or woman who has had no companionship at all with mem- bers of the opposite sex over long period of time is sure to be easier game for wolves of either sex than the man mad woman who has a chance to enjoy the company of other men and women under the right conditions.

Now he had to decide whether he was going to try to ruff the diamonds out but he could see that he might lose spade, club and two hearts if he elected that line of play, so instead he cashed the king of hearts and led small heart over to his ace.

 atives, but such visits should be distributed throughout the period of illness instead of being crowded into one day.
 The load of the home nurse could be considerably frightened by the judiciouS planning of visits from frinends and relatives, and there is no rule to prevent her taking a tactful hand in such planning.
 Assuming that the doctor has not forbidden visitors, when friends and neighbors ask what they can do to help, take their offers at face value and invite them to come In and sit with the patient for an hour or two while you transact some more or less important business elsewhere. BREAK MONOTONY
 You will need to be cautious about whom you invite to be sit ter" for you, of course. Avoid the person who talks constantly, the one who dotes on telling her trou- bles to anyone who will listen, or the one who knows and repeats all the community gossip. A few hours with such visitors as these may ex- haust the patient or send him into relapse.
 A cheerful visitor who has many outside interests and who can bring the breath of life and activity from the community to the patient may do him more good than anything you can do for him.
 Don't forget that no matter how devoted you are, the patient may get little bit bored with your con- stant companionship, and long for a change of scenery now and then. A break from the monotony of the sickroom will be stimulating to both of you.
