POUNDING ENEMY

japanese Have Lost
67,703 Men In Bitter
Campaign For Island
BY LEFT ERICKSON

GUAM, Sunday, June 10
P)-The U. S. 10th Army
frightened a moose Saturday
on a doomed pocket of Japa-
nese on Okinawa's southwest
coast while the only other
Nipponese force, backed into
a rugged escarpment, was
pounded from sea, air and
land with a tremendous bonn
bardment.
The foe, which has lost 67,703
killed in the campaign and has
perhaps around $4,000 left, dug in
and offered heavy resistance-with
their last gesture banzai charges
expected at any time.
On Oroku peninsula, the 22nd

Some First Marine Division lele-
ments pushed south below the Oro-
ku pocket toward Kunishi ridge,
southeast of Itonan town. The $50.
foot high ridge covers the west
flank of the escarpment line. These
elements apparently are working
into position to drive across fairly
flat ground between the southwest
coast and the end of the escarp-

American aerial forces along
a wide homeland front over
the weekend as Navy carrier
planes and the Army's BIOS

Other Attacks
Escort carrier pilots also attack

Flying a 1,500-mile round trip
from their Two island bases, the
Mustang strafed two airstrips at
Kaganigahara, probably putting
them out of operation temporarily.
They also battered an army pilot
training center and other installa-
lions. Then, for good measure,
they strafed a supply vessel caught
offshore.
Seven Japanese interceptors
sought unsuccessfully to halt the
attack. One was damaged, the 9TH
ers driven off. Mustang pilots said
they destroyed five Japanese
planes on the ground and damaged
10.
Three Mustangs were shot down.
One pilot was rescued.
