 The third member of the com- mittee, selected by agreement of MT. Beck and Walter Sharpe, Tax payers representative, is James Larsen, local building contractor.
 Tt would take five or six months of work to straighten out this mess," MT. Beck stated, referring to the records of the new assessment. We have only five days" He de- clared that the committee can hope only to study recommendation for correction of only the groSsest in equities.
 It would be far simpler for the council to entirely disregard the new evaluation and work from the former assessment rolls in setting taxes, MT. Beck concluded.

Sentence Of Death Carried Out by Savage Attack
 of Giant Bombers

GUAM, Thursday. Aug. 2 A record aerial armada of 800 Super forts carrying 5000 tons of incen- diary and high explosive bombs probably the greatest bomb load ever carried in a single mission executed the sentence of death by fire on four Japanese cities early today.
 Taking off from their Marianas bases late on the thirty eighth an- niversary of the American Air Forces. the giant bombcrs struck savagely soon after midnight of "Wednesday at the war centers of Mito, Hachioji, Nagaoka and To- wanna, all on Honshu, and pe- troleum installations at Kawasalxi. near Tokyo.
 This greatest of all bombing mis- sions came barely 24 hours after more than 100000 Japanese were warned to evacuate l2 cities or be destroyed.
 All four cities are important transportation oenters with total population of 240,O00
 The raid was announced in the first communique issued by the U. s. Army Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific. under command of Gen spaatz. It was the last foray planned by Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LeNiay as Commander of the Twentieth Air Force before be- coming ChIof q Staff sto spaatz.
 The take-off came ntne months to q day after the Supcrfort Tokyo Rose" made the first flight over Tokyo
 It is significant that most of the targets were in the Tokyo area, with Hachioii, only 25 miles west of the Imperial Palace, and Mito, but 60 miles to the northwest of Tokyo. also included
 The highest previous number of Superforts engaging in single mission was 62b. While records are not complete here, 1t is believed today's was the greatest tonnage ever loosed on single mission, with the Superforts each carrying seven and a half tons of bombs. The 6,Oo0-ton total would be load for approximately 2,000 of the Fly ing Tortresses used over Europe.
