It's glorious spirit touches the hardest heart.

For the Post Once Department,
the bill carries $1.057, ,049 ,290 in di-
rect funds, a reduction Of 50, ,486, ,430
from budget estimates and de-
crease Of $55,185, ,232 from current
year appropriations.
However, the committee pointed
out, neither fund provides for over
time payment TO employees because
Congress has not yet extended the
Wartime Overtime Pay Act.
Should it be extended, the total
funds required next year would ex-
coed the total appropriated for this
year.
The committee emphasized in a
written report sending the bill to
the House that the Post Once De-
partment expects to pile up an OPP
Grating surplus Of $265, ,2l4,2 $50 dur
ing the next fiscal year. This ex-

Two Jima loomed out of the chill
dark dawn today like a black
f1re-spitting dragon and tonight
two Marine divisions were scram-

atop its monstrous back.
The leathernecks, under COM
mand OF 1t. Gen. Holland M. Smith,
fought uphill and about 600 yards
inland from IWo's eastern beaches to
the edge of the vital bomber strip.
The field lies on a low plateau be-
tween an extinct 554-foot volcano
known as Suribachi Yama and the
high, broad and rugged northern end
of the island that looked as much
like scaly dragon tail as Suribachi
Yama resembled the jutting head.
Concentrated naval bombardment
and carrier based air blows reduced
the Japanese beach defenses. Amer
ican casualties, however, were con-
siderable.
Heavy japanese artillery and NOR
tar fire enfiladed the ranks of the
veteran 4th Marine Division and
pounded the new 5th Division
throughout the day. Enemy shells
fell on the beach area as we'll as off,
shore, making the supply problem
difficult.
Our men are spread all over Hells

tensive naturalization campaign of

But still the Japanese were very

aged to mount fighters and send up
antiaircraft fire.

heavy fighting was in progress.
Domei termed it a "ghastly inter-
