Company officials estimated fishermen working for them in the Hecate Straits area lost between s10,O00 and $20,000 in fishing gear during the storm. They said they believed several other vessels were damaged.
 Officials of both companies said they understood planes were search ing the area for missing craft.

EISENHOWER HAS PRAISE
 ALL FORCES
Gives High Points in Hour -|ong Talk 10 Correspondents

V SUPREME HEADQUARTERS AL LIED EXPEDITIONARY FORGE, June 15.-Gen. Eisenhower told a press conference today that the AL lied invasion of Europe last June succeeded only because the air. sea and ground forces fought as single unified force
 Speaking with great frankness, the Supreme Commander said that many Allied Officers actually doubted that an invasion. of Europe was possible.
 The cooperation of all arms which made the feat possible, he added, was carried on through VIE Day.
 These were the high points in the Hour-long conference during which Eisenhower invited the correspcn- dents to ask about anything which had been bothering them during his three-year stay in Europe:
 1.-The continued application of the non n-fraternization rule in the Reich depends upon the attitude of the German people themselves and upon how soon Nazi elements are wiped out.
 2-The German nation as whole has mo sense of war guilt" and, while many Germans closed their eyes to atrocities, many others did not"
 3-Field Marshal von Rundstedt was the greatest general the Allies faced; the late Field Marshall Rom- mel was bold but unskilled; German military men did not respect Hitlers strategic planning but in l943, par ticularly, Hitler ran his campaigns almost alone.
 4-The Allied armies were the best equipped in the world, but German Tiger and Panther tanks were super for in head-on slugging matches un- til the Pershings came into the field and German rocket projectors, all- purpose 88-MM guns and jet planes were outstanding weapons.
 5-The German general staff knew the war was over the third day of the Ardennes offensive last December when it failed to take primary objec- tives, and that Germany lost the ability to contieue the fight when Gen. Patton's sweep south through Saar to meet It. Gen, Alexander M Patch's Seventh Army wiped out a large body of German troops.
 6-The Supreme Commanders most anxious night was Nov. ', 1922 when the Allies invaded North Africa.

Carrier Saratoga, Badly
 Damaged 1.-Two Jima, Is
 Repaired, Back in Adion
By POPE HALEY

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Navy disclosed today that the fla nous old aircraft carrier Saratoga had sustained tremendous damage in the early stages of the battle of Iva lima.
 But, it was stated triumphantly, she has now been fully repaired, and is back in there, pitching again.
 Several di.act bomb hits, includ- ing some by suicide planes, struck the carrier, causing 315 casualties. The casualties included 123 killed, missing or dead of wounds, and 192 wounded.
 The fleets oldest surviving carrier, affectionately known to all hands as the Sara" previously had twice suffered serious damage from tor pedo attacks but the Two Jima &C., tion marked the first time she ever had received crippling damage from the air
 The attack came in February 21, two days after Two lima D-Day, as she was cruising with fast carrier task group northeast of the island.
 The Navy described the action against Sara" as "one of the most concentrated attacks in which a car- rier has survived, which might have sunk any other ship A record breaking repair job at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, however, has al- ready returned the huge flattop to the fighting line.
 "The Saratoga" said the yards hull superintendent. was the most extensively damaged vessel the Puget Sound Navy Yard had received. She received more varied types of dam age all at once than any ship we've seen since Pearl Harbor."
 The carrier was launching her planes in Two Jima action when an estimated nine or ten Japanese bombers, all believed to be on sui- eide missions, closed in. Four were shot down by the ships anti-aircraft guns and pilots in the air, but four others managed to crash and bomb the ship. A fifth, after it was knocked down alongside the vessel, caromed off the water and exploded, tearing large hole in the carriers side. A bomb from another plane blew a hole in the ships side below the waterline, rupturing many fuel oil lines. Water rushed in, and the ship took six degree list.
 Fires broke out and burning planes and fuel scattered over great areas of the ship" the Navy re- port said. "The forward part of the flight deck was battered beyond use. One enemy suicider penetrated the side of the ship into the hangar deck where he exploded to cause great fire"
 In spite of her damage, however, the carrier was able to proceed.
 Many heroic acts prevented even greater casualties and damage. In one instance, an officer and two en- listed men were lowered over the ships side to fight flames, and with the vessel under way at 25 knots they managed to bring the fire un- der control.

 ABOARD A UNITED STATES DESTROYER IN THE NORTH PACIFIC, June 12.--tDelayed) - United States Naval units in the North Pacific pounded Japan's principal central Kuriles Island bas- tion-Matsuwa-twice in the last 24 hours in long distance daylight raids far from friendly air cover.
 Thousands of pounds of shells were dumped on the sambrero-shap- ed island, 480 miles northeast of the Japanese home islands, during the afternoons of yesterday and today
 Rear Adm. J. H. Brown, Jr., of Washington, D. C.. took the task force of cruisers and destroyers through heavy seas to close inshore in a pea soup fog.
 Destroyer decks were awash and gun crews drenched by the cold seas as they fired by instrument at the island they could not see. Sey- Cl ldi tAibao6tiQ sAtCAAo WSh( SAk<At<s<<>s in the first 20-minute bombardment.
 The next afternoon the task force was back and as 1t formed the column for the bombardment run the fog lifted around the towering Fuyo Yama volcano and exposed the entire island.
 This destroyer's target was an air strip which was blanketed by shells to keep down any Japanese planes. Many direct hits were scored on the airfield
 Not shot was fired from the shore in either of the attacks and there was no sign of enemy air planes.
 These were the fourth and fifth bcmbardments of the volcanic island, which is used by the enemy for a staging ground for the north- ern Kuriles and which is an impor- tant air route stop between Para mushiro and the home islands.

By LEONARD MILLIMAN Associated Press War Editor)

Superforts set fire to Osaka in a 3000-ton incendiary raid today as Gen. H. H. Arnold promised bombing attacks would be stepped up to a rate of 100000 tons a year, making Japan "a terrible place to live in"
 Japanese ground forces began to crack up on Okinawa, fled on Bor- neo, and withdrew on two vital China fronts, but still fought stub- born delaying actions in the Philip pines.
 american military leaders were quoted in Washington as expecting that either Japan will surrender within the next 90 days or the war will be of long duration--a matter of attrition." The words are those of Rep. Cannon (D-MoD Chairman of the House Appropriations Con- mittee.
 General Arnold, chief of Army air forces, on tour of Superfort bases in the Marianas, said we are just starting with the B-29s' which will wreak utter destruc- tion' on Japan.
 To Step Up Attacks
 In about two weeks, he promised power of their attacks will be step- ped up to 100000 tons year This means that every two weeks the Superforts will let loose bomb tonnage equalling the entire weight of explosives they have thus far rained on Japan.
 Already, said B-29 Commander Mai. Gen. Curtis LeMay, Super forts have heavily damaged the five cities that Arnold said must be destroyed = Tokyo, Yokohama Nagoya, Kobe and Osaka. Tt is just a matter of time" LeMay said, until we get everything Of value in Japan"
 Plants Are Bombed

NEW FIGHT DEVELOPS
 AT FRISCO
Small Nations Want Reyis. ion of Projected Be-
 lurify Charter
By John M. Hightower


 SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-Sev- eral small nations resentful of big power leadership may rally enough United Nations Conference votes to- day to force revision of the proj- ected World Security charter in 5 to 10 years.
 A late afternoon showdown on this issue, which stems from the now-ended fight over the veto, ap- pears certain, with preliminary signs indicating close battle.
 Behind the scenes the small na- tions are saying they are not sure the veto voting formula will work. It would give the Big Five full con- trol of Security Council action, and any one of them could block an action it did not like.
 If five years or more of experience show it unavoidable, they contend they want to change it. If they can possibly arrange it they do not want any one of the big nations to be able to veto the change.
 The Big Five admit that possibly the charter may have to be amend ed some day. But they argue that no time limit should be fixed A limit. they contend, might compel calling conference on charter re- vision just when the league is meet ing it's severest test.
 The conference leadership is shooting for settlement of these and related issues this week. A full schedule of both open committee meetings and closed committee ses- sions has been set up for the next few days.

 Pointing out that the Canadian ob- jective of raising 30,000 army troops for the Pacific was still 2,500 short, the Gazette declared that it would appear that even before we enter the new phase of the war, we have encountered our old difficulties"
 In last years crisis, the Govern ment adopted partial conscription to meet the problem, drafting 16,000 troops from the Home Defense Army which had declined to volunteer for service abroad.
