The man evidently was
masher, said attractive 26-year-
old Helen Leahy. Several times
he drove his car alongside hers
and urged her to pull over to
the curb.
Finally she did. And the man,
also stopping, was promptly ar
rested by radio car policemen
on suspicion of reckless driving.
Miss Leahy had summoned
them. She's a police messenger,
and her car is equipped with
two-way radio.

on airfields far from the beat.
1t was only by such extraordi-
nary skill that the "greener"
Yank filters were able to hold
off and finally crush the ex-
pert Luftwaffe of those days.
The bombing groups work
consisted of obliterating enemy
installations and troop installa-
tions, in all areas from Corsica
to Casino. t

On the Normandy Invasion Beaches, June 6-(UP)-This marks the site. - begins a plain board sign on Omaha Beach.
 Tn proud memory of. " Starts a legend on monument on Utah Beach.
 These are the lonely symbols in the quiet today where exactly one year ago American troops stormed Hitler's Europe.
 At Omaha, the wreck of an infan- try landing craft hangs broken on the sands where the German guns smashed her as her troops swarmed across the sands and up the steep cliffs under terrible fire.
 A liberty ship down by the tern still lay off the flat Utah beach, head A bomb opened her seams there. Nearby are the masts of 8 smaller vessel that struck a mine.
 Curious soldiers and some sailors many remembering D-Day, the guns, flames, smoke and men falling -strolled on the sand. But they were only a few compared with the thousands who once were here.
 They were not even as numerous as those who lie beyond the beach, sides under white crosses and small fluttering flags.
 Alongside the relics of war are the symbols of peace. French chil- dren padded in the water beside the piers of the artificial harbor at Omaha in sight of the line of block ships sunk offshore.
 A Frenchman slept in the wreck of an old whaleboat. A child ran to inspect a battered helmet liner washed up on the sand. Utah beach was cleaner. AS on Omaha, German works were mostly as they had been, but the engineers have since named the roads over which men marched for the men who fell to take them.
 The main road out was Hinkel road, named for 1st It. P A. Hinkel, of the 816th amphibious truck com- pany, killed June IA.
 On Ole road next to the beach stood a pillbox used by the 1st en- gineer special brigade as headquart- CTS. It was named, "in proud mem- ory of our dead,' for T-Sgt. s. N. Ole, of the 531st engineers, who died on D-Day.
 Beyond the beach roads are black German pillboxes, the skeletal frames of ruined houses, rutted roads and foXholes.
 Beyond those signs of war are the cemeteries.
 American cemetery No. 1 contains

| the bodies of men removed from the beachhead cemetery at Omaha. In it lie about 4,0O0 Americans, only 120 of whom are still unknown de- spite the fact that some were wash ed in from the sea and some batter ed horribly in the hell that was this landing.
 In graves as yet unmarked are the bodies of 1,280 Germans picked up on the beach. A fence will be built between them and the Americans.
 Sgt. Tom w. Clay, 28, of Hickory, N. C.. of the First Army calvary re- connaissance, who landed at 12::3O D. m. on D-Day, is Tn charge of the beach patrol.
 i've got some friends out there and probably some I don't even know about" he said.
 Inland from Utah is the Blos- vile cemetery where 5,330 Ameri- cans lie. It is in charge of S-Sgt. Clifton c. Ruthland, a country boy from outside Warrenville, s. C., who fought with the 9th infantry across the Dunes.
 We got to about here-about where this cemetery is-the first night and we were pretty scared, I guess" he said. Sure T knew some of the fellows here"
 He pulled from his pocket a faded piece of folder paper which he had carried from England to France, through Cherbourg and to Aachen where he got his second wound. It was headed My D-Day Bud dies" and in handwriting, some neat and some scrawled, was list of nearly 200 names.
 "As each one got it-got killed where I knew it or got hit pretty hard, checked him off," Rutland said. Some of them are here"
 On the faded paper there were three names unchecked-three men from company Of D-Day buddies still going on from the beaches.

Europa" Japan is seeing her huge industrial armament centers and teeming cities laid waste by only 8 small portion of the air power to be available in months to come. Ja- pans war plants are centralized, above ground and extremely vul- nerable. Already many of her in- dustries have been crippled and some completely knocked out.
 With many of her airplane en- zine manufacturing centers in ruins, Japan faces the day when she no longer will be able to send fighters against our bombers and attack our shipping from the air. Just as our air power throttled the once great LuftWaffe, Japan's fight CT and bomber strength faces exter- imitation.
 Capture of the large Borneo oil fields cut off Japan from a prin- cipal fuel producing center, al- though it is likely that Japan will run out of planes and engines before she lacks fuel to feed them.
 From Okinawa medium bombers such as the BPS can strike heavy blows on the China Coast, hitting HangchoW, Nagasaki, Saebo. Heavies the B-24's and BITS which soon will be released in huge numbers from the European theater- will take off from Okinawa to drop bomb loads on Swatow, Annoy, Foochow, Hangchow, Nanking and Shanghai. LONG HAUL AHEAD
 Japanese shipping through the Inland and Yellow Seas facing ex- tinction by American planes. Man. churia, "breadbasket" of Eastern Asia, will have only a small outlet to Japan. Few ships may ply be- tween Korea and the northern coast of Japan, out of range of all but our longest-range bombers.

American Air Power Isolates Millions Of Jap Troops From Homeland

fog on more than half of our raids. Quite frankly, pilots and the navigators of the 20th Air Force tell you that they're not certain of results when targets are bombed by instruments, al- though instrument technique is improving and good results are shown by photographs following raids. s'
 'If we can see the target" they say, well hit it."
 Just as frankly, they do not make extravagant claims of suc- cesses on all bombing missions. "On this target" said colonel to 8 group of visiting correspondents, i've scored magnificent misses"
 It took Il missions by one units planes to knock out certain sec- tion of one of Japan's airplane en- zine plants, but they went back and back again until the target was de- molished.
 NO MILK RUN
 The run to Japan is no milk run" and planes and crews have to be able to take it as well as dish it out to the Japs. Pilots are averag- ing more flying hours a week now than once was considered safe for month. Pressurized cabins and fly- ing aids are helping to combat fa- tigue.
 B-29's have been flown all the way from the coast of Japan to the Marianas with two engines out on the same side. Recently one plane was turned upside down while bombing at low level from the ter rife blast of hit on an enemy oil or ammunition depot. It was righted and flown home. One ship, rammed by two enemy planes, its left hor- izontal stabilizer gone, part of the tail gunner's compartment ripped out and with other damage, still managed to get home without cas- ualties.
 "It's the finest airplane we've ever had" said one spokesman for g. wing group. "One units planes av- eraged 228 hours before an engine change. We can keep 86 per cent of our planes in commission and be ready to execute a mission with all of our planes on 48 hours notice. |"

have conceded New Guinea and all of northern Australia to the Jap anese.
 The Japanese already had landed on the north coast of New Guinea and up to that time had swept everything before them. Macarthur was only able to muster against them a makeshift army of two American and two Australian divi- sions. He had 250 battered planes but could only send up a maximum flight of 35 planes at one time.
 But MacArthur picked Milne Bay as the crux of his defense of Aus tralia and made it stick in spite of the known fact that it was hot bed of malaria. He committed all he had to the Buna action. The Japanese were thrown off stride by MacArthur's daring and before they could decide whether to hit the forces at Port Moresby or reinforce Buna it was too late.
 In his more recent operations the Keystone was the battle Of Leyte In late October and early November. The Japanese recklessly threw in thousands of good troops in an ef- fort to smash the Americans. But many of these troops never reach ed shore as one Japanese convoy after another was destroyed. When the battle went into 8 stalemate, MacArthur pulled an end run and landed behind the Japanese at Ormoc. That really ended any chance for firm Japanese stand in the Philippines.
 Macarthur has high praise for the naval cooperation he has had all the way through. He thinks Admiral Thomas c. Kinkaid and Vice-Ad- miral Daniel E. Barbey of the Sev- enth Fleet are great admirals; if the Navy has any better he doesn't know them. And he Is equally ad- miring of Admiral William c. Hall sey.
 Macarthur rates the air arm equally high but his all out admir- ation is reserved for the foot sol-

Frank H. Bartholomew, United
 Press vice-president now touring
 the Pacific war area, reports in
 the accompanying dispatch on the
 strategy and tactics of General
 Douglas Macarthur may be ex-
 pected to employ in the final
 stages of the war against Japan.
 By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW
 Manila, June - (U.P0 - Gen. eral Douglas Macarthur is con. vinced that Japan will not quit the war until the Japanese mainland itself is invaded and her cities, hel economy and her military govern ment brought down in ruin.
 For this reason he considers the invasion of Japan inevitable ano as the man who will lead the Allied Armies through this final phase oi the war he is working toward that goal.
 MacArthur's basic formula in the Pacific has always called for win ming victories by the manipulation of force which was always smaller than the total defensive strength of his enemy.
 His prime strategy was this:
 First, feel out the Japanese strong points.
 Second, bring them under heavy and continuous air bombardment for as long as possible up to the moment just before the Japanese move to strengthen position.
 Third, send in the infantry for the kill.
 Macarthur has made no spectacu- lar sudden attacks on Japanese Strong-points in his whole Pacific campaign. Always he has insisted on the maximum preliminary bom- bardment and has had careful re- gard for the lives each action might cost.
 His most chance-making decision was the initial one of his drive back against Japan. This was his elec- tion to defend New Guinea as well as Australia at time when many urged him to fall back to the so- called Brisbane Line" which would

isolation of Japan is far more effective than was that of Eng land at the time the Luftwaffe was at the peak of its strength.
 Bombing raids of the 20th Sev- enth, Fifth, and 18th Air Forces of the Pacific Ocean Areas are heaping on Japan the kind of dev- astation which the Eighth and Ninth United States Air Forces and the RAF rained on Europe.
 Japan's failure to forsee Amer ica's growing naval and land based air power in the Pacific may cost her the war before Allied soldiers actually set foot on the sacred" lands of Japan.

As our air power continues its expansion on an ever-increasing scale, with the United States and United Kingdom fleets in complete control of the Pacifics surface areas, it must be apparent to Ja- pan that We can land anyplace, anytime, on the homeland.
 Once we land we stick. Guadal- canal, New Guinea, the Marianas, the Marshalls, Two Jima and now Okinawa have proven that. The Jap's first team just isn't good enough to throw us back into the sea. With her supplies from China cut off, her armies on the mainland isolated from aid, her cities being
