AMERICANS RAISE
FLAG OVER SHURI

walled fortress which housed the
18th century kings of the Ryukyus,
the japanese continued fanatical
resistance against the 77th and
Goth Infantry Divisions.
Strong combat patrols of the
First Marine Division were report
ed probing through the western
sector of Shuri Town, which, like
Naha, was reduced to rubble in
the week-long American pound
ing from land, sea and air.
Mud and rain still hampered
ground operations and posed Sc
we're supply problem for forward
elements.
Admiral Nimitz said the poor
flying weather reduced Japanese
aircraft activity. Several isolated
raids were made Tuesday, result
ing in damage to two light units of
the American fleet. Eight Japanese
planes were shot down during the
day.
Carrier planes attacked targets
in the Sakishima group. of the
southern Ryukyus and the Amami
islands in the northern part OF
the chain Tuesday.
Search planes of Fleet Air Wing
One sank or damaged three small
cargo ships in Korean waters Tues
day night and Wednesday. A twin
engined transport plane was shot
down near Honshu island by a
Naval search plane of Fleet Air
Wing 18.
American 10Th Army troops ex-
plotting the collapse of the Japa-
nese line or Ok;nawa sliced
through enemy rear areas today
with the south coast of the island
in sight.
The Seventh Infantry Division S
thrust southwark from Ozato Mura
heights, combined with the ORA
matte dash into Shuri castle by
Fifth Regiment units of the First
Marine Division, heightened the
pace of battle despite heavy rains
and clinging mud.
While Fifth Regiment Marines
penetrated Shuri castle Tuesday
in a lightning flank move, units
of the Sixth Marine Division in
Naha crossed the Canal bisecting
the city to smash japanese resist
ance in the eastern district. This
move virtually completed conquest
of Oknawa's capital.
The Seventh Division strike
southwark would cut off Chinen
peninsula on Okinawa's southeast
coast. 1t. Col. Jackson ellis, of
Hollywood, Calf, member of the
Divisions staff, said that half OF
the remainder of southern Oki-
nawa in Japanese hands should be
occupied by the Yanks within a
week.
Relatively light resistance en-
countered by the Seventh indicates
that the bulk of the Nipponese de-
tenders are still holding out in the
Shuri sector, center of the shatter-
ed Japanese line, despite with
drawal efforts.
The Marine dash into ancient
Shuri castle was made by company

Regiment and not CO.. company

The newest escape device per-
fected for fighter pilots to use in
case of emergencies is a catapult
seat that allows a pilot to drop
through the floor of his plane when
he presses release lever and de-
presses treadle bar with his
feet. Designed for use on pusher-
type planes, the seat throws the
pilot clear of the propeller. Here

Postwar Bread

Among other things it appears that
North Carolinians will eat postwar bread
enriched in vitannins that will improve
health; for the Agricultural Committee of
the N. c. Legislature has voted favorably
on bill requiring the enrichment of flour,
bread, degerminted meal and fdeger1ninted
grits, but the measure as passed will not go
into effect until six months after the end
of the war.
Proponents of the bill agreed the law
would necessitate additional equipment
for mills and vitamin laboratory for the
State Department of Agriculture, which is
responsible for its enforcement, and the
bill was amended to provide ample time
for the procurement of this equipment.
Appearing in opposition to the mea-
sure, E. N. Bailey, Henderson miller, said
the small millers of the State do not want
it, declaring it would result in some addi-
tional expenditure for equipment
w. r. Switzerland, of Laurinburg, also
a miller, advocated passage of the bill,
giving his opinion that the mills would
fall in line" soon after it's adoption by the
Legislature. While admitting that the ma
jority of the small millers oppose the plan,
he said that mills representing 80 per cent
of the total mill capacity in North Carolina
favor it.
Representing the State Board of Health,
DR.. John F. Kendrick and DR.. Bertlyn Bos-
ley stated that since people in the lower
income brackets depend largely on bread
for their vitamins, the enrichment of flour
would result in better health for this seq
ment of the States population.
We are of the opinion that when the
people taste enriched bread, that they will
demand it. And if like other products the
American public demands, it will be sup
piled. If it costs the smaller millers more
to produce this type of meal and flour, per-
haps the public would be willing to pay
slightly more for it.
