 "As sole technical assistant at an isolated Alaska Communica- tions System radio station in Boring Sea from June, 1942, to August, 1943, he assisted in its restoration and it's subsequent op- eration throughout the long Arctic winter during constant expectation of enemy landings.
 Dependable and con tinuous weather and security reports from that area were important to the defense of Alaska, and a small party with him included was landed on bleak and lonely St. George Island in the Pribilof Group. There they found an abandoned Bureau of Fisheries radio station in poor condition.
 "Surmounting many technical difficulties and solving field radio engineering problems without the benefit Of outside assistance, he helped rebuild this station and then operate it.
 "Vigilant against surprise by the Japs he was always prepared to demolish the plant.
 Until relief finally came, he worked with a high morale and gave exceptional assistance to the project. His sustained and highly meritorious services under trying
 conditions of weather, loneliness and danger helped insure the suc-
 cess of the Alaskan operations"

Won Rundstedt Lays Defeat to Allied Air Power,
Lack of Cos ond Ruin of RqiIwqys und Factories

the D day invasion surprised the
Germans both as to time and local
ity and that the so-called Won
Rundsteds counteroffensive in the
Ardennes last December was ordered
by Hitler and would have succeeded
If supplies and reserves could have
been brought up as quickly as Gen.
Patton moved up from the south.
He asserted that Germany fights
on because all enemy utterances in
dicate it is a fight for existence, that
Germany would have won in 1910
except for British certainty that the
United States would help, and that
no serious effort was made to In
wade England In 1910 because ex-
perimental jabs showed the German
water transport and feet protection
were inadequate.
Van Rundstedt said he believed
Hitler died in Berlin, but not by
suicide.
Never, never will believe he put
an end to bis own life," he said.
THAT was not in accordance with
his nature"

For Collaborating With Japs

Emelio Osmena and Jose Os-
mena, have been shot by the
Japanese for guerrilla activity.
His remaining sons, Ramon and
Victor, are in school in this
country
Mr.. Morantte said that when
United States troops re-entered
Manila they were contacted i'm
mediately by Nicasio, who ex-
pressed anti = japanese feeling.
Sergio, Jr., he said. was found
riding around Manila in a jeep.
Three days later their father
arrived and ordered them both
arrested despite the fact that
Sergio, Jr., is one of his favorites,
Mr.. Morantte said.
Because Nicasio appeared
friendly and was known to be
the son of the President, Mr..
Morantte said the Americans
sent him to hospital when he
showed symptoms of being i'll.
But when President Osmena
heard of this he ordered Nicasio
sent back to Bilibid Prison, the

On 0kinawa Sinks

war, Japanese hurled amphib-

bombs at American forces yes
terday 1926 miles south of Japan
Every attack was broken up, but
five light United States ships were
sunk and others damaged.
Hundreds of the 1000 attacking
japanese soldiers were slaughtered
in "the best day of Jap killing since
the Okinawa campaign began"-154
planes shot down and IS explosive
laden speedpoats blown up.
Under cover of early morning
darkness four japanese amphibious
units, totaling about 600 men, at
tempted landings behind American
lines on both coasts. Three of these
assault forces got ashore on the
west coast in the rear of the 77th
Infantry division. Hours later they
were still there, but they were
trapped and being wiped out.
Stranded on Reef.
Boats carrying 200, constituting
the fourth group, were stranded on
a reef off the east coast. Yanks in
amphibious tractors annihilated
them.
More than 5000 Nipponese at
tackled 7th Division positions on the
east flank at dawn behind 20 tanks
and under protection of the cam
paign's heaviest enemy artillery
barrage. Big American guns smashed
the tanks. Seventh Division in
fantrymen stopped the charge in
fierce hand-to-hand battles and
grenade throwing duels.
All of the ground actions were
co-ordinated with an air-sea at
tack on United States fleet and
supply units ofshore. Suicide boats

corkscrewed into the fleet before
dawn. They succeeded in damaging
only one American ship.

BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER,


WITH THE UNITED STATES
7th ARMY, May 5.-Field Marshal
Karl Gerd Won Rundstedt said yes
terday that air power was the prime
factor in the defeat of Germany.
The former German field COM
mander in the west, interviewed in
a chateau where he is held prisoner
listed these other factors in what he
said was their order of importance
l. Lack of oil and gasoline.
2. Ruin of Germany's railway sys-
tenn
3. Loss of raw materials areas
such as Romania.
4. Aerial destruction of German
industrial sections.
The 69-year-old marshal, who
wore his uniform and medals, drew
nervously on an unlighted cigaret
during the interview and spoke in
crisp Prussian tones.
He said American generals and
Marshal Montgomery of the British
Army are surprisingly good, that
