H0MESITES MAY
 SOON BE BOUGHT
 ON PUBLIC LANDS

WASHINGTON, July 10-If the President approves, homesites may be purchased on public lands in Alaska.
 The House has completed con gressional action on a measure ex- tending the 5-acre homesite law to the Territory and the bill has been sent to the White House.
 The Homsite Law, which heretofore has applied only to continental US. is amended, also to permit purchase by Interior Department employees stationed in Alaska. It also permits acquisition of sites for camp, con- valescent, business and recreational purposes.
 Due to the large interest in Alas ka-many veterans have indicated their interest-and since practically all the land is in public ownership, it is felt the legislation is very de- sirable," the Public Lands Commit tee reported to the House.
 The Committee said Delegate Bartlett D-Alaska) approved the bill, which was identical with one he had introduced.

 Naval surface units of the com mand have patrolled the fog-swept seas until Japanees shipping, in- cluding the vital Japanese fishing industry, has been swept from the area. Ten surface bombardments have been carried out against Para mushiro and Matsuwa, the strongest of the Japanese bases in the island chain. In their latest sweep surface units boldly steamed through the chain into the Okhotsk Sea to crip- pla a six-ship convoy.
 Now, promises Fletcher, the at tacks will be intensified.

F4U-4 IS IN ACTON
 OVER LAPS
Man made Comet Now Streaking Through Skies
 Dropping Bombs

STAMFORD, Conn, July 10.-- These handmade comets streaking across Japanese skies these days are new Corsair fighter -bombers, amazing planes that can fly fast CT han seven miles a minute and carry 2,000 pounds of bombs plus load of rockets plus the standard armament of six 50 calibre ma- chine guns in their wings.
 The Chance Vought Division of the United Aircraft Corporation has been making the new plane designated F4U-4 and outwardly resembling the familiar Corsair F4U-1--here for sometime, and a description of the deadly aircraft was announced last night in Wash- ington by the Navy
 The F4U-4 already has been in action, and the first Japanese pilot who ever saw one lived only two minutes thereafter. Marine Lieut. enant Douglas M. West of Excel sior, Minn., flying with a group of the new planes over the Japanese home islands, saw the enemy pilot first, dived on him from out of the clouds and watched him crash in the ocean after firing only 100 rounds from his wing guns.
 The big change in the F4U-4 is the use of the Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp engine for it's power plant, the Navy said. This gives it it's speed of at least 425 miles an hour. it's ability to climb almost 1000 feet minute faster than the F4U-1 and ceiling high enough to give it an advantage over high flying, land based Japanese planes.
 The engine is rated for 2,1O0 horsepower, and this can be increas- ed in emergencies by water injec- tion.

 Adion Is Unprecedented
tBy Robert Otey)

FIT. LEAVENWORTH, Kas., July 10.-Five German prisoners of war sentenced to death for the murder of a fellow prisoner, were hanged early this morning at the U. s. Disciplinary Barracks in move unprecedented in the annals of United States military history.

 The four other prisoners follow ed at half-hour intervals.

 WITH ADMIRAL HALSEY'S THIRD FLEET OFF TOYKO, July 10.-The Third Fleets. fast carrier task force steamed contemptuously close to Japan's main island of Hon. shu today and sprang more than 1000 planes off flattop decks against Tokyo.
 The first plane stock off about 4 a. m., in the clear. crisp dawn and hours later the strike was still con- tinuing with indications there, would be no respite for the enemy's de- vastated capital until nightfall
 It was the first carrier assault on Tokyo since last February
 Bombing weather over the target was reported perfect with visibility unlimited. The chief objectives of the arids were airfields. There are between 72 and 80 airdromes in the Tokyo area.
 Pilots also were instructed to hunt out enemy aircraft but preliminary reports indicated not many were seen.
 Pilots returning from early strikes reported no fighter opposition and said that anti-aircraft fire was scanty and caused them little trouble.
 Despite the fact huge element of the fleet was within short carrier plane range of Tokyo when the strikes were launched, no enemy planes came out by 10 a. m. to chal- lenge American ownership of this ocean.
 The crews were at battle stations most of the time with gunners alert and ready for action after long and boring cruise.
 A Third Fleet spokesman said the target comprised an area of about 40 by 60 miles northeast and south of Tokyo.
 Adm. William F. (BulD Halsey's airmen are trying to pin-point smaller industries with which Jap an abounds and which the Super forts in their bludgeoning blows are unable to give individual attention.
 The strikes today were described as probing" presumably an effort to get the Japanese to trot out whatever sea and air power they may have left for the showdown near their homeland.

 I'd make a good picture for pro- paganda against the next war, drawled the good natured Kentuck- ian.
 His wife, Mrs. Jewell Hansel, formerly of Corbin but now living at Salem, Ind, was on hand to greet him when he came in late Sunday.
 Miraculously, Army doctors said, Hensel is in good condition. They say he will be able to walk on arti- ficial legs and use his new artificial arms. The sergeant hopes to be getting around in a wheel chair in time to celebrate his 27th birthday August and his third wedding an- niversary August 12.
 Brig. .-Gen. Joseph E. Bastion, Commanding Officer at Percy Jones, one of the Army's largest amputa- tion centers, said there has been one other quadruplicate amputee in the Army during the war but that he was not a battle casualty. He was an Army pilot who lost parts of all four extremities due to freezing after a plane crash in New England, the General explained.
 In all, there have been 12,500 am- puteeS from the war so far and of these five per cent are double amps" Gen. Bastion said. Six soldiers have lost three limbs.

NO PEACE OFFER IS
 RECEIVED
Jdps Only Trying 10 Sir Up Dissension Among AL
 lies, Says Grew

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Acting Secretary of State Grew declared today that the Japanese are using "purported peace feelers" in an att tempt to stir up dissension in the United States and among the Allies.
 Their objective, he said, is to ob- tain a peace short of unconditional surrender even though they know beyond question already that their defeat is certain.
 Grew related several instances of what he called these alleged peace feelers' and then wound up state ment on the subject by declaring:
 "The policy of this government has been, and will continue to be, unconditional surrender :. that is the best comment I can make upon peace feelers and rumors of peace feelers of whatever origin"
 The United States, the Acting Sec retary emphatically asserted, has received no peace offer from the Japanese government, either through official or unofficial channels"
 Conversations relating to peace," he continued, have been reported to the department from various parts of the world but, in no case, has an approach been made to this government, directly or indirectly, by person who could establish his authority to speak for the Japanese government, and in no case has an offer of surrender been made.
 Tn no case has this government been presented with a statement purporting to define the basis upon which the Japanese government would be prepared to conclude peace
 What the Japanese always seek with their peace feelers, Grew said, is to find out the American position and to use the whole idea of an end to the war as a means of stirring up argument over peace terms in order to create dissension.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON = As President Truman and Secretary of State Byrnes prepare for the Big 3 con- ference, significant light can now be thrown on one extremely inn porsant phase of our snarled rela- tiors with Soviet Russia, which still remain the most important question facing the USA at the Berlin barley.
 One of the chleI criticisms we have made of the Russians is that they have not lived up to the Yalta agreement.
 Among other things U. s. and British diplomats have claimed that the Russians established the Rem ner government in Austria without notifying their allies. Under the Yalta agreement it was specified that tae Big Three should consult with etch other regarding new gov- ernmeats, such as that in Austria, to be established in the liberated areas. 50 certain British and Am erican diplomats, in the course of feeding out anti-Soviet stories at San Frncisco, dropped word to the press tiat the Russians had taken the bit in their teeth and set ur Karl R,nner, former Socialist leader as the lew Chancellor of Austria without consulting us.
 Howe'er, this columnist is now able to give the text of a note from tie British Foreign Office which sates just the opposite. The note, fos the information of differ ent pats of the British Empire and it's allies, is dated April 29- the vgy start of the San Fran cisco conference. It shows that the
