Navy Commander
Hints at Early
Japan Invasion

SAN FRANCISCO, March "a.
(UP)-Vice Admiral John S. Nc
Cain, back in the U. S. after COM
manding the End Carrier Task
Force, believes an invasion of the
japanese homeland is feasible, per
haps even sooner than has been
es mated" if the home front pro-
vides the weapons, the 18th Naval
District disclosed Saturday.
Mccain declared that complete
blockading of the enemy home is
lands cannot be achieved until the
allies are in possession of bases on
the China coast.
He described the navyS support
of army operations in the Philip
pines, asserting that $50 fighter
planes, operating from carriers,
were responsible for eliminating po-
tentially dangerous threats from the
Japs through the air.
Mccain said that the u. S. OBJ
jective is the same as it was Decem-
Der 1941-"Kill or be killed"
He added: mo Jap 1 ever heard
of deserves to live. They are con-
victed by their own atrocities. BY
them they have taught Americans
to hate, and that simply isn't a
natural instinct for anyone born in
the United States. I always have
considered it mark of inferiority
to hate, but, damn it all, thorough
ly hate the Japs!

"Of the 4085 percons X-rayed last
winter when the mobile X-ray unit
was in the county" said DR.. E. w.
Hayes, crusader against tuberculosis,
"75 were shown to have active tu-
bercu'osis or show alarming symp-
toms of it. Ten of the number are in
the stages where they can infect
others. There are no beds available
for them at the county hospital
where they can be isolated and
treated. They can't take care of
themselves. As result they are in
fecting their families, friends and
associates. From these 10 persons we
know there will be an ever-increas-
ing number of men, women and
children who will be infected with
tuberculosis" DR.. Hayes further said
that 342 of the 4085 needed special
diagnosis because the X-rays show
that something is wrong, while 3743
X-rays showed negative results.

Nimitz' Carrier Planes

GUAM, March "a. (UP)-
Tokyo reported that hun
dreds of American carrier

Some 230 planes opened the as

eight hours Saturday, Japanese
broadcasts said.
Miyako Island, 1870 miles south
west of Okinawa and only 210 miles
northeast of Formosa, also was un-
der attack Saturday. Tokyo said.
The planes presumably came from

Soviet pressure was increasing all
along the Oder front between Kues-

south.
FROM ALL SIDES
The Russians have been attacking
Klessii;, 33h miles east of Berlin
and nine miles south of Kuestrin,
fiercely from all sides" for nine
days, the Germans said. The refer
ence to "all sides" indicated the
fortress town two miles west of the
Oder may have been surrounded.
While Moscow did not Immediate
ly confirm the thrust, both Russian
and Nazi dispatches for the past
few weeks have reported prepara-
tons for resumption Of the Soviet
march on Berlin almost complete.
Allied observers have speculated
that the Russians would strike to-
ward Berlin simultaneously with an
Allied smash across the Rhine in
the west in coordinated Win-the-
war offensives.
EATER WESTWARD
Berlin said crack units of Mar
shal Gregory K. zhukov's First
White Russian army launched their
attack Friday from Oder bridge
heads at ManSchnow, three miles
southwest of KueStrin, and near
GenSchmar, seven miles northwest,
and linked up at Golzow.
A 91-minute artillery barrage and
accompanying aerial bombardment
paved the way for the twin attacks,
Berlin said
The enemy succeeded in breaking
through our front, owing to the
great masses of war material en-
ployed," the Berlin account said.

Artillery Rakes
German Lines
In Rhine Smash
By C. r. CUNNINGHAM

ABOARD PIPER CUB OVER
NINTH ARMY RHINE BRIDGE
HEAD, March "a. (UP)-American
troops streamed across the Rhine
Saturday afternoon like New York
commuters heading for the Jersey
ferries.
The biggest hazard to flying over
our bridgehead is the concussion of
American artillery shells which fill
the air and have started huge fires
in the positions which our troops
are moving up to assault.
A blanket of smoke covered the
Rhine front as I flew over the lines
in the rear cockpit of a Piper Cub,
piloted by Staff Sgt. Bob McCona-
hey, Long Beach, California. He
winged up the Rhine from a point
near Cologne.
There was plenty of our own ar
tillery in action. The outgoing shells
rocked our little plane so much that
both of us felt a little seasick.
So far as l was able to determine
the Germans were hardly putting up
any resistance. That phase will
come no doubt within the next "a
to 48 hours.
American artillery battalions are
throwing everything they have at
the German rear. There we're fires
in numerous towns and villages and
one big fire in city.
The artillerymen seemed to be
making the job little easier for
the doughboys.
From the Piper Cub it was easy
to see that this was no Remagen
bridgehead. Here the crossings were
on grand scale with men and
equipment on the scale of D-Day,
1t appeared that TINS was the be-
ginning OF the end for Germany.
