Russian Drive Threatens Million And Half Japs

LONDON, Aug. 13-<P)-Tokyo reported that the vast new Soviet offensive in Manchuria threatened to cut off possibly half million Jap troops in China and to split an estimated million and half en- emy forces on the Asiatic main- land into two massive pockets.
 There was no immediate Soviet confirmation of the Tokyo report which originated at the command headquarters of the Jap Kwan- tung army in Manchuria. The Sov- jet communique, fourth of the Soviet-Jap war told of Soviet gains of nine to twenty-two miles toward the central Manchurian arsenal city of Harbin.
 The Soviet bulletin also an nounced that Russian Marines were invading Korea under the guns of the Soviet Pacific fleet, and had seized the vital ports of Rashin and Yuki in the Sea of Japan. After Admiral Ivan Yuma shev's ship bombarded the bases Red Army planes cascaded tons of explosives on the wharves and harbors in a three-day aerial pounding.
 Tokyo radio, heard by EGG, re- ported sea borne Soviet troops had begun landings on the south ern part of the disputed island of Sakhalin. Tokyo previously had reported invasion of the territory known to the Japs as Karafuto The Domei dispatch said landings were under way at Anbetsu and Esutoru, the latter about sixty miles south of the border on the west coast. Anbetsu is just across the Soviet Jap border.
 A Domei dispatch, recorded by EGG, said the Russians had also penetrated twenty miles into the Jap half of the island in their land invasion from the border and had

Fleet And Pla1ies Blast Yokohama
 Docks, Sub Pens

GUAM, Aug. 13-lP)-Admiral Halsey's powerful Third Fleet, guarded against possible banzai at- tack by the Jap airforce, as his carrier planes blasted Yokohama docks and sub pens, after being turned back by heavy weather from the Tokyo area.
 (PD war correspondent Richard O'Malley, with the fleet reported six enemy planes, attempting sneak attacks were shot down by carrier planes. A Tokyo broadcast recorded by EGG, admitted 'some damage" was caused by eight hundred carrier based planes at tacking the Kanto district in east central Honshu.
 The attack, Japs said, lasted twelve hours and seventeen planes were shot down and twenty-f five damaged.
 The possibility of a Jap aerial assault against the fleet was voiced by some officers. O'Malley said because of the persistent att tempts of reconnaissance planes to locate the American force which had been turned back by heavy weather around Tokyo.
 Carrier planes picked targets of opportunity. Yokohama docks and submarines in pens at Shi- moda to the south along Sagami Bay were hit hard.

he was all in favor Of baseball as

said he would 60 to see sand lot

pert Bryan will be elevated over
the entire athletic program OF New
Hanover county, according to an
announcement by Coach Bryan.
The New Hanover High school

some time and said that if pres

which would be in the high school

nior varsity and freshman teams.

With the small houses that local

impossible to pay a fighter what
he could make in bigger city.
Why should a boxer fight for

At any rate, boxing is on the

first time in many years. Here S

will do all in their power to keep
it on a higher plane than in the

round because of a deep cash on
Artico's left eye, and the decision
went to Murphy.
