FROM OKINAWA TO TOKYO

The ease thus far with which the inva
sion of Okinawa, big Japanese airfield
island center. is going presents tempta-
ton. it would appear, for the Yanks to
tackle Hirohito's homeland island
Are the Japs giving UP? is question
which follows the increasing speed with
which the Americans are overrunning one
approach island after another. True, Two
was not easy, yet it could have been much
harder if proximity to the homeland sig
nifies stronger defense.
Without doubt something is happening
in Japan. While plane bombings have
blasted and destroyed munitions plants
and supplies around Tokyo and on other
islands, the war actually has not prog
ressed to the point of destruction any
thing resembling what has been happen
ing in Germany. And so. everything con-
sidered, Japan still should be turning out
supplies.
The terrific punishment meted Japan's
navy in the past few months is Grip
pling influence that counts, no doubt,
now in lack of strong resistance.
Reports from other Japan-held areas
wher, the Allies are concentrating at
tacks, bring the same news-weaker re-
sistance as the Allies increase the fight
ing tempo.

MANPOWER BILL DEAD

The United States senate has refused
to enact the last-minute manpower bill in
sisted upon by tEe President and the
army and navy. Nor is it likely congress
will consider any more makeshifts Re-
fusal 70 vote the bill was not unexpected.
Even the original bills provisions were
unworkable and from the start the whole
matter was in a snarl with various gov
ernmental agencies involved in disputes.
Three years ago an even more drastic
measure should have been enacted and
would have accomplished is purpose. We
have struggled along until the end of the
war is in sight with all sorts of ''comupl
sorry" measures started and stopped or
emasculated by exemptions and by quar-
rels among boards handling manpower.
Congress now bes. could serve the
country by finding rational course for
screening manpower back into normal
channels when the war ends.

GOOD NEIGHBORS TWO WAYS
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Union)
We have been hearing a great deal in
recent years about our duty to other peO-
pies as good neighbors" In fulfillment
of this duty we have not been penuriouS
The indications are that we shall feel
even heavier obligations in some instances
after the war But very little has been
heard thus far about the other end of the
good neighbor proposition. A citizen who
does a service or performs a favor (or
even attempts to do so) has a right to
expect that the beneficiary will also
show spirit of good neighborliness by a
sense of appreciation.
Thus far. indications of such spirit
have been largely lacking in a good many
cases. We have met with a great deal of
criticism - m e m es bitter - from
France, Italy and Belgium because we
have not come up to their expectations in
our generosity Our efforts to aid Yugo-
slavia and Poland, for example, have
been hampered by internal conflicts or
intervention by other powers. Russia and
Great Britain, chief recipients of our
huge lend-lease program, have gone their
own way in working out postwar ar
rangements satisfactory to their own in
terests without consulting us until after
these arrangements have been made.
In spite of the fact that we have three
great agencies working to relieve and
help our Allies and the war-victim coun
tries, we thus far have reaped chiefly
dissatisfaction and suspicion. A private
citizen in such circumstances might nat
urally wonder if his efforts were worth
while. A good neighbor attitude t h a t
doesn't work both ways isn't very satisfy
ing, after all.

$4,000 Fortune
Waits Claimant

OAKLAND, Cal. April 5. (UPD
Clues uncovered in the modest
rooming house quarters of the late
Thomas Brown, 81. Western Paci-
fic Railroad employe since 1918. led
to the discovery of $4,000 estate
willed to an English sister.
The public administrator found
only a few neat but threadbare
clothes in Browns room after his
death February 81, and a key to a
safe deposit box.
Twenty-Five $1,000 war bonds and
SIS GOO in cash were found in the
box. Other occupants of the house
could offer no clue to Browns heirs.
An old discarded wallet found in
the room yielded a 17-word Holo-
graphic will dated July 81, 1910,
leaving Browns estate to his sister,
Mrs. Violet Froughton of Middle
| borough. England.
The British consulate in San
Francisco is attempting to locate
Mrs. Froughton.

SHOE IS ON OTHER
FOOT FOR GERMANS

Out of Allied occupied Germany comes
stories of phase of the invasion that re-
veals touches of human nature" As rap
idly as the hundreds of thousands of en-
shaved nationals from the countries oc
cupied by Hitler's hordes as he overran
Europe are released. they are starting for
home and not waiting on the order of
their going. Lacking means of transport
back to Belgium, France or Holland or
wherever they were forced to march to
Germany as veritable slaves, these freed
pople are seizing upon anything and ev-
ery.hing the Germans possess.
They are taking horses, wagons, cat
tie and even motor cars. Nor are they
gentle about it. Photographs freely re-
leased show the expatriates using force
and the Germans covering and fleeing
for safety.
Dispatches tell of frantic appeals of
the Germans TO the Allied officers for
protection. with the complaint that their
food and goods are being stolen.
For the most part the officers to whom
the appeals are being made make pre-
tense of rescue" but mostly they wink
at what the Germans brand as sabotage
and robbery.
The history of wars from the beginning
of time reveals no such record as that of
the Germans in this war in seizing de-
fenseless civilians and forcing them to
slave at making munitions
The day of reckoning has come and it
is just as we'll that the Allies are too busy
to interfere.

NAVY RADIO)-You wouldn't be-

just can't be true. And yet 1t is
true.
The regiment of Marines that l
am with landed this morning on the
beaches of Okinawa and were abso-
lutely unopposed. which is indeed
an experience for Marine.
Nobody among us had dreamed of
such a thing. S.,e all .-,ought there
would be slaughter on the beaches.
There was some opposition to the
right and to the left of us, but on
our beach. nothing, absolutely moth
ing.
We don't expect this to continue,
of course. A Marine doesn't fool
himself like that. Certainly there
will be hard fighting ahead and We
all have our fingers crossed. But
to get the firm foothold we have,
with most of our men ashore and
our supplies rolling in, is a gift for
which we are grateful.
