(COnClnueQ rom SdSS Y Bowles said. He estimated that the civilian meat supply would be II per cent greater in August than in July.
 Ease Strain
 The reduced point values Of beer, lamb and veal and the recent reduc- ton of creamery butter, Bowles said, will ease the present strain on req points budgets"
 The most recent cut in military buying of meat came yesterday when the armed forces reduced their demand on better grades of beef from 25 to 20 per cent for August and on the lower grades from 50 10 55 per cent.
 The civilian meat picture also has improved as result of the govern- ment's recent action in halting the set-aside on lamb and reducing the share of pork and veal earmarked for government agencies. These cuts were made possible in part by sus- pension of lend-lease shipments Of meat.
 However, army purchases are ex- peeted to rise again in September as more troops are moved to the Pa- cific and also because 1t Is govern ment policy to buy less during sea. sonally low production periods oi the summer.

63 air crewmen, excluding yester- days casualties, American and Brit ish airmen destroyed or damaged 765 enemy aircraft and 52l ships.
 Biggest Victory-Day
 The biggest one-day bag of the att tack was scored on Tuesday when Halsey sent 1,200-odd fighters, dive bombers and torpedo planes crash ing through the flax barrage over Kure to wreck the Japanese fleet at its hidden anchorage.
 Among the 20 warships known to have been hit and damaged were three battleshipS, six carriers, five cruisers and four destroyers. Add ed to the damaging and possible sinking of the 33,000-ton dread naught Nagato in Tokyo Bay a week ago, the strike left Japan with out a single known capital ship in seaworthy condition.
 Heavily damaged were the 30,000 ton battleship Hyuga; the 14,000- ton heavy cruiser Tone; light cruiser of the 5,100 ton Kuma class; destroyer, and the giant carrier Amagi, believed to have been con- verted from the unfinished hull of a super-battleship. It was 900 feet long and probably carried at least 90 planes.
 Moderately damaged were the 30,- GOO ton Ise, sister ship of the Hy- uga; the 5000 ton heavy cruiser Abba; the 5000 ton light cruiser, Oyodo, a gunboat, and the aircraft carrier Katsuragai, apparently a new ship not listed in naval rec ords.
 The slightly damaged vessels in- cluded the 30,000-ton battleship Ha- runa; one old heavy cruiser, un- identified; the converted carrier Aso; the light cruiser Hosho; the escort carrier Kaiyo, two destroyeri and midget submarine.
 In addition, British flyers rang. ing farther east in the inland ses probably sank an escort carrier oi the Kobe class and damaged an ole destroyer.
 On top of that damage, they sank of damaged 84 merchantmen including at least 16 cargo ship and tankers sent to the bottom, ana destroyed or damaged 170 enem. planes. Eighteen were shot dowi in air combat, A were destroyed aground. and no other grounded l planes were damaged.
 Preliminary reports on wyester Gay's strike gave on immediate de tails on Japanese ship losses, bu listed 39 more enemy planes de stroyed or damaged, including on shot down and IS destroyed on tn ground.

(COnt1nued from Page U breaches, as for instance in the At- lantic charter, excepting its puni- tive clause, the Japanese nation, in fact the Japanese military, would automatically, if not willingly. (sev- eral words missing) follow in the stopping of the conflict and then, and only then, will sabers cease to rattle both in the east, and in the vest"
 Japs Cautious
 While official American quarters maintain relative silence" about the exact meaning of unconditional surrender, the broadcast said, off cial publicists declare that Japan should be stripped of this or that"
 ''In short" it said, they intend to mete out such hard retribution that the Japanese people are more determined than ever to unite and resist as a united mass of 100, ,000, 900 should, and will so continue as long as American minds remain dicta- torial and oppressive"
 Warn Americans
 Official quarters here have warn- ed repeatedly that such Japanese peace bids are attempts to make the American people wave in the demand for unconditional surrend- CT and to negotiate a peace without destroying the roots of Japanese militarism.
 The demand for immediate Rus sion entry into the Pacific war was made in the senate by Sen. Alexan- der Wiley, R., Wis, a member of the foreign relations committee.
 Russia's plans regarding the Jap anese war are believed to be among the topics being discussed by the current big three conference. A re- port that Stalin had carried a Jap- anese peace offer to Potsdam was published by Newsweek magazine.
 Newsweek also said that Stalin had with him at Potsdam Chinese concessions to Russian claims in Manc.iuria provided the Soviets do enter the war.
 Few here would expect the United States to accept the offer as outlin- ed by Newsweek.

Mountbotten. StoIin Meet
Continued from Page D

Mountbatten, Allied commander in-chief in Southeast Asia, was re- vealed to have conferred in Pots dam with Stalin, President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill, as well as with the combined chiefs of staff assembled there.
 The fact that Mountbatten rushed from MacArthur's headquarters to the tfree-power chiefs of staff and their big three superiors was taken as a clear indication that Japan was close to the top of the con- ference agenda.
 Military Phase
 With Mountbatten,s return to London, the military phase of the Potsdam discussions appeared to have ended. at least temporarily. The Southeast Asia commander was accompanied by his chief of staff, Maj. Gen. B. c. H. Kimins, Britain's three chiefs of staff, Ad- miral Sir Andrew Browne Cum ningham, Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke, and Air Marshal Sir Charles Portal.
 Fields Marshals Sir Harold R. L. c. Alexander and Sir Bernard L. Lontgomery were expected to return here Saturday.
 Mountbatten's command embraces the largest Japanese-held territories still not invaded by the Allies, in- cluding Malaya, Thailand. Sumatra. and 6 number of islands in the 1n- dian Ocean.

 The 30 by 15-mile island, if cap- tured, would make an excellent springboard from which to launch operations to cut the Malayan pen- insula at its narrowest point and open the way for an overland drive 600 miles southward to Singapore the same route the Japanese took in their conquest of the Great Brit ish naval base.
 Meanwhile Australian troops drove over seven miles inland northwest of the Manggar airstrip in southeast Borneo today without opposition, after Allied fighters and bombers had raided the Balikpapan area.
 BorneO Hit Hard
 Gen. MacArthur'S communiQue revealed htat Borneo was hit from east to west yesterday by small but determined air attacks.
 On the northwestern side, 18th Airforce B-25's bombed and rocketed supply dumps and troop areas around Jesselton, north of Brunei bay, while Seventh Fleet privateer started fires in the Kuching ship yards, south of Brunei bay.
 Over 20 RAAF P-40's and 18th Airforce BIAS, sweeping Borneo's east coast, attacked motor trans port, buildings, and radio installa- tions at Sandalsan, Samarinda, Bandpermasin and in the Balikpa- pan area.
 For the second successive day Monday bombers attacked Semar- ang, Java's third most important city, bombing the dock area and

From San Diego to Japan and the China coast tthe vast reaches of the Pacific had finally been swept clear of the enemy and only the fanatica1 Japanese suicide planes barred the way to invasion.
 Halsey's massive fleet of 150- battlesflips. carriers, cruisers and supporting warships blacked out last night when Swirling storm clouds closed down over the burning Kure naval anchorage.
 But there was no sign that the attack had been broken of con- pletely. Alarmed Japanese broad casts warned that Halsey's armada was still lurking of the coast, await ing a break in the weather to re- sume the bornbardment.
 Air-Force Attack
 And as the Navy drew off, the American Army air forces picked up the attack. A medium task force of 75 to 100 B-29 Superfortresses from the Marianas roared in over the Tokyo area before midnight last night to unload hundreds of tons of fire and demolition bombs on three big oil plants in the suburbs of the capital.
 In their 18th major strike on Japan's dwindling homeland oil re- sources, the B-29's hit the Mitsu- bishi, Hayama and Asaishi refineries at Kawasaka. At a cost of one Superfortress, the raiders touched oc huge fires and explosions in all three plants. Helpless against the ponderous B-29 blows and the rapid-flre fleet attacks, the Japanese glumly warn- ed their people that not a single city or town in the homeland could hope to be spared from complete destruction. The amazing admission gained added weight with report from U s. 2Oth Air Force headquarters that I the B-29's already have burned out at least 143 square miles of 39 Japan csc industrial cities. Reconnaissance reports were still being compiled or eight other war centers hit in force by the supe-fortresses.
 In the face of that appalling ros- ter of ruin, Tokyo spokesmen helo out the feeble promise that theil coastal Qualifications would hold oil the coming invasion, even if the en- tire homeland burned behind them.
 If the enemy should refrain from landing in fear of the Japanese de- fense system and continue solely tt tighten the blockade, we shall wal i 20 years, 30 yeas, and even 50 years said one Tokyo commentator.
 Navy Impatient
 But "Bull' Halsey's rampagine battle fleet off the Honshu coast showed no inclination to wait. The entire Japanese homeland lay wide open to attack and fleet dispatche: made it clear the strike would be pressed home mercillessly, mounting in effectiveness as the enemy's de- lenses crumbled.
 "The damage already inflicted ha: reduced the enemy's naval potent ial to just about zero and we art out to finish the job," reported United Press War Correspondent Richard w. Johnston. at sea witt the Third fleet.

 Rehabilitation Program
 The establishment of summer home would fit nicely, it is claimed, with the posts plans to carry on its elaborate rehabilitation program. Some of the facilities of the resort could be made availa- ble to crippled or convalescing vet erans.
 A number of prominent leading legionnaires are greatly enthusi- astic over the possibilities such a project offers. They feel that the park department will cooperate and that desirable concessions could be granted to revive the attractive ness of the entire resort.
 A formal announcement is ex- pected from the legion's commit tee within the next few days.
 Community Clubs
 Last Tuesday evening representa- tives of the North End Community club, Mary Abbott Community club Bucks Hill Community club and the Lakewood Social club held a meeting and authorized commit tee to instigate public movement to have the park completely rem ovated.
 With the legion experimenting the new movement Lakewood park may again become the mecca oi pleaOure seekers and the summer gathering place of veterans of two world wars.

 MT. Truman was understood to be extremely happy over the prog ress of the United Nations charter in the senate, accepting its msooth sailing as evidence that the United States is willing to participate in a full force postwar peace. There is a possibility that upon the expected ratification of the char ter late this week MT. Truman would send congratulatory message either to the Senate or its lead CTS.
