 "The various fields mentioned above" the CAA says, fare only the framework TOT planning. Im- agination and ingenuity can lead to still more opportunities. Although we have listed these suggested fields in Industrial Aviation from a pilots standpoint, it should be remembered that each enterprise must operate from an airport, and must be backed up by the men on the ground-mechanics, repairmen, radio operators, field managers, welders, metal workers, traffic con- trollers, tower operators, weather men, and all the other allied pro- fessions.

has been so costly for the Ameri-
cans. Even on Tarawa, previously
considered the bloodiest fight of the
war, marine casualties slightly ex-
ceeded 5000 for the u hours re-
quired to kill every Japanese on the
island.
The latest Nimitz communioue
added 276 American dead and $50
missing to the previous toll, counted
up to 5:45 pm, Wednesday. The
figure for the wounded was the
same. The earlier count was more
in the nature Of a preliminary esti-
mate.
The northern battle line Of the
three marine divisions fighting on
Two fringed the southern end of the
central airfeld, which is on a
plateau. This Is where the Japanese
launched two counterattacks yester-
day with rifles and mortars, but
came under the withering fire of
American artillery and naval guns.
Japanese air strength appeared to
be reviving after crippling blows to
Tokyo airf1elds delivered last week
by American carrier planes. One
small group OF Japanese aircraft
attacked shipping near Two yester-
day and two other small groups
approached the area.
American fighters and antiaircraft
ire shot down six planes.
Enemy bombers made q similar
attack at sunset Wednesday, causing

The most cheering note in to-
days communique was the report
that conditions on the beaches
were generally improved" and "a

|3-point U. 5. Program
Studied by Delegates
|Af Mexico Conference
By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 23.-The
American republics today began ap-
plying aims Of the Crimea confer
ence to the strategy for a hen1i-
spheric fight against human want
and oppression.
Settling down to the real business
LOT the Inter- American Conference,
delegates from 10 countries were
largely guided by q three-point pro-
gram proclaimed last night by Sec
lretary Of State Stettinius and Eze-
|quel Padilla, Mexican Foreign Min
lister.
It embraced battle to the death
on Naziism and Fascism whenever
and wherever they may appear,
support for an organized peace
based on the Atlantic Charter, and
a broad program to assure every
man and nation an adequate living
standard.
Mr.. Stettinius told the conference
last night that the Roosevelt
Churchill Stain meeting at Yalta
had upheld Atlantic Charter ideals
and declared that the United States
was prepared "to make its full con-
tribution" to make these principles
effective.
Five-Point Program.
He added that an essential aim in
five-point United States foreign
policy program was an Atlantic
Charter peace of freedom from
fear and want for all men," He
declared President Roosevelt was
firmly convinced that "the results
of the Crimea conference have
greatly advanced the objectives Of
the United States foreign policy"
Other points In the United States
foreign policy program outlined by
the Secretary Of State included the
earliest possible" defeat Of the
Axis, measures to prevent Japan and
Germany from future aggression,
guarantees to the liberated peoples
of Europe Of their own government
and sovereign rights, and creation
of an international security organ
ization to preserve the peace Of the
world.
He warned that all nations must
keep constant watch "for the fight
to this hemisphere of Nazi funds
and Nazi underground leaders who
will seek to find a refuge here that
can serve as base for an ultimate
comeback" of Nazi Germany.
Foreign Minister Padilla hit
strongly at the possible growth of
new totalitarian regimes, terming
them "a menace to all America"
War Of Ideologies Seen.
He warned that after the war
there likely will be a war of ide-
ologies. On one side, he said, Is the
ideology of violence, which feeds on
chaos and poverty and does not need
incendiary pamphlets or speeches
for its propaganda. Aligned against
this will be democracy, which, he
said, can provide the tools ito
realize the dream Of the humble
man."
Many delegates were concerned
over the rights Of small nations in
formation OF the international Sc
cur1ty organization, Tor which the
April Is San Francisco conference
has been called.
1t was reported that Mexico would
present about 28 amendments to the
present Dumbarton Oaks agreement
All Latin American diplomats con-
cerned with the problem appear de-
termined to push their claims for
wider and even permanent repre-
sentation on the Dumbarton Oak
security council.
