 Jops
BY HUGH CRUMPLER

SASS~A&-
 Manila, July 30-(UP)-Australian seventh division troops hammered disorganized Japanese rear-guard units north of Baikpapan today. The main Japanese column appar- ently was undecided whether to run north for Samarinda, or to re- treat 215 miles southwest to Ban- jermasin.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's spokes- man said, however, it appeared likely that the Japanese would plunge inland across the Seuoi river and then drive south for Banjermasin.
 Running Fight
 On the Samarin6a road, north of Balikpapan, Australian units over ran one small group of retreating Japanese and at last reports had engaged them in 8 running fight.
 Maj. Gen. E. J. Milford, com mander of the Australian seventh division, said that his men in the Balikpapan area had completed their first major task, of routing the Japanese with great losses. Australian observers believed the main Japanese forces in North west Borneo might attempt to reach Kuching, in Sarawak far south of Brunei bay. It was thought those in the north probably would at- tempt standing in the Jesselton- Terringau-Rangou area while those in the southeast, Gas MacArthur's spokesman indicated), would shift from Balikpapan south toward Banjermasin.
 Radio Tokyo claimed that Jap anese suicide planes off Puket Island had heavily damaged" large enemy warship. probably an aircraft carrier" and had sunk an Allied cruiser.

1O-Hour Raid Follows Attacks On Hamamatsu--O Overwhelming Forces Promised For Invasion
By WILLIAM F. THREE

Guam, July 30-UP) Upwards of 1,500 carrier planes blasted and burned 8 30O-mile stretch of central Japan from Tokyo to the great Osaka-Kobe industrial area tday-21st day of an of fensive softening the enemy homeland for invasion.
 Radio Tokyo said the raids be- gan at 5:30 a. m. and still were go- ing on at p. m., almost 10 hours later.
 Before dawn, American and Bri- tish battleships and other Third Fleet units set fire to the Japanese industrial center of Hamamatsu roughly midway between Tokyo and Kobe, with a bold pre-dawn bom- bardment from only six miles off, snore.
 Tokyo broadcasts said surface units also shelled the southeast part of Xii Peninsula, below Hamamatsu, after the main bombardment.
 Military Targets Hit American and British carrier planes of the Third Fleet opened their new assault on central Japan at dawn with attacks on transport, arifields and military targets in the Tokyo area, a Pacific fleet com- munique announced. A dispatch from Vice Admiral John S. McCain's carrier task force disclosed that the aircraft subse- quently extended their attacks from the far side of the Tokyo plains southwest to a point beyond the big port and industrial center of Kobe.
 Within the area lay burning Ham, amatsu, the aircraft manufacturing city of Nagoya and Osaka, Japan's second largest city and biggest war production center.
 The task force dispatch said the principal targets included 60 air. dromes and their satellite landing fields.
 Radio Tokyo said the main weight of the assault was directed against the capital and adjacent prefectureG. Airfields, war factories, communlca- tions and shipping were hit by i've waves totaIling 700 planes during the l morning and early afternoon, Tokyo said.
 l A sixth wave of about 100 planes attacked the Tokyo area in the late afternoon, 8 later enemy transmits sion said.
 Tokyo said 200 other Allied planes, including P-51 Mustangs from lWos raided the Osaka and Ise Bay 1n- dustrial areas in two wave for three hours beginning about 8:30 8. m.

Guam, July 3O.-(UP)-| Japan's decision to ignore the Allies 'last chance" surren- der demand brought an off cial American warning today that the most overwhelming forces ever concentrated were preparing to invade the en- emy homeland.
 "It's a harsh fate our enemy has chosen" Rear Admiral Dewitt c. Ramsey, chief of staff of the Fifth fleet, said in the first official Pacific fleet comment on Japan's re- jection of the Potsdam declaration.
 Asks for Disaster
 "In all world history, there is no more glaring example of a nation imposing disaster upon itself. For these people, the language of bombs and guns apparently is the only convincing language"
 Japan's rejection of the srrren- der demand issued by President Truman and Winston Churchill with the approval of GeneraliSsimo Chiang Kai-Shek was announced by Premier Kantaro Suzuki.
 Radio Tokyo quoted Suzuki as saying that the Japanese govern ment would ignore the Potsdam statement flor the simple reason that it does not attach any inpor- tance to such a declaration"
 ."I regard it merely as repeti- ton of the Cairo declaration" he said. q am fully satisfied and gratifled that there exists strong confidence among our fighting forces. The government and peo- pie are determined to render every possible assistance to our armed forces in order that both the Army and Navy may display full strength" !"
 Later Tokyo broadcasts said the Japanese "man-in-the-street" was backing up the governments rejec- ton of the surrender demand.
 Ramsey, in commenting on Jap ans rejection of the surrender de- ma1ld, said the Allies were assem- bling from Europe great numbers of troops and huge quantities of arnlor for use in further ampfibious operations against the enemy.
 '"TTle invasion of Japan will be made by the most overwhelming forces ever concentrated in mili- tary history" he said.

Intrepid We'll Named

Washington, July 30 - (UP) - The Nays 27,000-ton aircraft car- rier Intrepid was well named.
 Hit five times by suicide planes and torpedoes, she is back looking for more Japanese to add to this great score compiled by her gunners and pilots:
 289 enemy ships damaged or sunk.
 $50 enemy planes destroyed.
 The Navy. disclosing the Intre- pid's story today. did not say how many of the ships she got were sunk and how many were damaged.
 They included one Japanese air- craft carrier. The Intrepid's planes also were credited with helping sink the Super-Battleship Yamato.
 The. hits scored on the Intrepid cost her l76 casualties, many planes and considerable damage to her flight deck and her interior. Twice the damage was repaired by the crew, but three times the crippled carrier had to limp back to the U. s. west coast for Navy Yard repair.
 She is back in action now for the fifth time.
