GUAM, Aug. 14.-Super For
tresSes struck Japan with a 5000
ton demolition attack today and
headquarters indicated they will
continue their crushing blows
right up until a final official sur
render notice is received from
Washington.
The raid today by hundreds of
B-29s was under way when the
Tokyo radio broadcast that the
enemy would accept the Potsdam
Declaration.
The japanese also knew that the
worlds mightiest naval force-the
United States Sd Fleet with Brit
iSh carrier task force-Was idling
close off the home shores after
pressing home air strikes on the
Tokyo area Monday.
Attacking Planes Downed.
The enemy had attempted to
reach the fleet with a belated air
attack, Admiral Chester w. Nimit7
reported. but 81 of the attacking
planes were shot down and none
got near the ships.
Meanwhile, the American and
British carrier airmen knocked out
lit parked japanese planes and
struck ground installations a stout
blow. despite bad, rainy weather on
Monday.
On Sunday night, American
cruisers and destroyers shelled
Japan's kurile Islands.
So far as has been disclosed, the
feet was not in action anywhere
today.
Spaatz's Planes Out Again.
After a four-day layoff while the
japanese were making surrender
overtures. Gen. Carl A. Spaatz sent
his Strategic Air Forces out on heavy
onslaughts which his headquarters
said began at noon and still were
under way four hours later.
At 3:58 pm. Guam time), the
Navy radio here flashed a pickup
of the Domei agency's Tokyo broad
cast saying Japan's acceptance of
the Potsdam ultimatum was forth
coming.
BY that time Strategic Air Force
headquarters already had disclosed
that at least 43O Super Fortresses
from the Marianas and 176 fighter
planes from Two had participated
in attacks on Southern Honshu.
Wing after wing of Super For
tresses were described as making
a maximum effort

Harbin was the goal of a FIVE

Soviet confirmation of japanese re-
ports that Russian marines had in

Karafuto, the Japanese half of the
island lying only 26 miles north

Marshal Meretskov's army was
reported to be advancing all along

General, Ralph J Rivers. had asked Examiner Thomas Woodward to postpone the session at least six months or limit it to preliminary matters. Postponing a formal ruling, Woodward said the matter of Alaskan freight rates was in the nature of an emergency and he was opposed to postponement.
 Showdown Of Labor" Swanson was the only afternoon witness. He attributed the trouble of Alaska lines to a showdown of labor,'' an increase in the number of voyages required, and a rise of approximately 100 per cent in the cost of ship repairs.
 He said labor practices which made operations difficult included demands for smaller sized cargo slings, larger longshore gangs, in- creased administrative expense and increased cost of ship supplies.
 Swanson viewed airlines as seri- GUS competition, saying they were S u b S diZed and claimed this amounted to unfair competition for shipping lines.

one who owns cottage by the sea

Ever since the first day I put on
my blue suit with the gold buttons
and the light blue stripes around
the sleeves, I have rejoiced in two
conveniences I never before enjoyed.
First, never having to carry bag in
my hand or under my arm, thanks
to the shoulder strap on our bags;
and second, never having to carry an
umbrella, thanks to our havelocks.
Those two advantages will probably
have to be foregone until that in
definite date when all clothes be-
come completely functional. But
think I will miss those two details
most OF all when put the uniform
away to save for Legion conventions.
The first step in the metamor-
phosis was in buying dresses. In
getting used to clothes and prints,
found myself considering colors I
had never before worn. and in gen.
eral somewhat cut adrift from my
former civilian prejudices. I settled
on one colored print and one basic
black. Then, leaving my complete
uniform in the fitting room, ! went
unadorned by the Navy up to the
hat salon, and sat down timidly,
wondering If my fair for hats had
gone to war forever. The hat sales
woman was an understanding
French woman. In passing, I want
to remark that all the salespersons
were unusually interested and help
full in bridging this sartorial gap
and we're great help in bringing my
fashion consciousness several years
up to date.
But to get back to the hat adven-
ture. tried to tell my clerk what
l wanted and what I didn't want,
and in what colors. I wasn't very
successful at first. But in few
minutes I found myself trying on
the same type Of quite giddy and
very feminine hats I have always
worn, and been almost infamous
for, before q put on my blue Knox
number with the Navy "poached
egg" on the front. 1t was the most
clothes fun I'd had since the last
time l bought a real" hat.
Following up these basic portions
OF my wardrobe, found that bag,
gloves and coat were compara-
lively easy to fit into the scheme to
which had committed myself, the
purchase of the dresses and hats.
I also found that my old hats, shoes
and accessories were far more wear
able than the basic wardrobe of
dresses. coats and suits had put
away, as those styles had changed
considerably in cut and drape, par
ticularly in necklineS, shoulders and
sleeves.
Buying shoes not according to
Navy specifications turned out to be
"a surprisingly interesting business.
With shoe rationing what it is,
expect to wear all my present regu-
lation shoe wardrobe But my new
black patent leather sandals. with
a higher heel, and open toe and heel
gave me the feeling that l had got
a new set of ankles as well as new
lease on life.

Dear Miss Dix: Will you please
write something concerning the in
fiux of seasonal parasites who de-
scend upon every one who has a
country home as soon as the good
old summertime arrives? One no

ones own guests because ones house

have just dropped in with bag and
baggage, and children and dogs, and
often with their own friends, and
who expect to be put up for the
