FINAL DRIVE ON 0kINAWA
 BEING MADE
Surviving Japanese Split Info Two Units-Many
 Ships Sent Down
By LEONARD MILLIMAN Associated Press War Editor)

Japan appeared today to be on the verge of abandoning all semblance of parliamentary rule in a drastic effort to cope with intensifying American air raids, expected to reach a new crescendo with the impending fall of Okinawa where 66,324 of the Emperor's soldiers have been killed. The Stars and Stripes, it is expected, will soon be flying over all of Okinawa.
 Approximately 200 carrier planes strafed and bombed suicide air bases on southern Japan. Tokyo reported. in quick followup of raids from Okinawa "Wednesday and Thursday.
 Smoke Pillows High
 Smo.e billowed five miles above Superfort- blasted Osaka as U. s. communicates announced air strikes sank IS more Nipponese ships from Japan to Borneo.
 Surviving Japanees on Okinawa were split into two disconnected but strongly entrenched units by a swift half f-niile drive to the west coast by the Fifth Marine Division. Even Tokyo admitted the battle was hope less and the fall of Okinawa will have great effect on the entire war"
 Invasion Feared
 Japanese have repeatedly express ed fear that an invasion of the home islands would follow conquest of Okinawa.
 Japanese remnants are broken into two disconnected forces which Marine commanders said may be of about equal strength both well armed with automatic weapons and determined to hang onto the hills they still hold until they are killed.
 The First Marine Division slash ing 900 yards to the west. came within 300 yards of the coast below Naha airfield. Above this point Sixth Division Marines were driving into the northern pocket over rough ground in the face of heavy fire, including antiaircraft guns.
 Hammering Process
 The 96th Infantry Division, led by tanks, and the Seventh Army Division on the east, both hammered at the other group of survivors driv- en into the southern coffin corner of Okinawa.
 The Okinawa fighting was never intended to decide the fate of our nation," Tokyo broadcast. Simul- taneously. it claimed 60,000 Amer jeans have been killed and 566 U. s. vessels sunk in the campaign. American figures list 26,677 ground casualties, 25 vessels sunk and 58 damaged.
 Two B-20s were lost in the heav- fly escorted attack yesterday on Osaka and its important arsenal. Superforts have been busy recon noitering new targets. Tokyo said. and last night laid mines along the Inland Sea.

 The only gorge which could have formed an entrance to the valley is cut off by mountain wall run ming at direct cross angles.
