THE END OF JAPAN APPROACHES

The destruction of a Japanese fleet,
within less than 100 miles of Kyushu, one
of the home islands of Japan, indicates the
extent of American domination of the wa
tiers around Japan.
Observers believe that every one of
the 104Japanese. warships, including the
45,OO0-ton battleship Yamato, were sunk
by torpedo planes and dive bombers, which
rose to the attack at dawn, Immediately
after the enemy fleet was sighted, pro-
ceeding in a westward direction. Appar-
emily, the Japanese were getting out of the
Inner Sea, where they took a pounding
some weeks ago and seeking refuge in
safer harbor.
One of the Surprising features of the
engagement was the fact that the enemy
fleet was moving without aircraft protec-
ton. Remembering that japanese torpedo
and dive-bombers, early in the war, sank
the British Repulse and Prince of Wales off
Malaga when the British warships We're
caught without aircraft protection, it is
reasonable to assume that the absence of
Japanese aircraft was due, not to ignor-
ance of their necessity, but to the absence
of available aircraft.
The Japs, who boosted of the worlds
third largest navy before the war, have
seen their fleet and its air. arm whitfield
to impotency. Except for a few victories
gained in the early months of the war.
when japanese forces overwhelmed Allied
vessels, the Navy of Japan has Jared badly.
1t was thoroughly whipped by outnumber-
ed American forces in the Solomons cam
paign and every time the Japanese adj
mlralS have dared to risk major engage
ments, they have paid heavy price in
damaged and destroyed warshipS.
glance at the map reveals that the
fate of Japan is on the sea. Without con-
troll of adjacent waters, Oh warships to pro
tect the long trade routes to conquered is
lands, there is no hope for Jaanese success.
Even now, the short lines Of communica-
tons stretching to the ASiatic mainland en-
joy only brief security which Japanese
admirals realize will not last many months
This means the end of Japanese hopes for
success and may have considerable influ-
ence upon the course of the war.
The ease. with which amphibious in
vasions have been mounting in the Philip
pine Islands, as we'll as upon other islands
! Of the Pacific, reveals the ability of Ameri-
/ canforces to make landing upon any de-
Esired beach. 1t demonstrates the inability
of the Japanese to protect long coastlino,
| such as that provided by the islands of their
homeland
Regardless of a strong defense of Sc
lected areas the extent of available beach
heads makes possible numerous landing
places of relative weakness. This fec
means that the end of Japan is closer than
we suspect.

-Jinx Falkenburg, the movie actress
today was delayed here on hel
flight to New York to marry 1t. Col
John r. (T'ex) McCrary.
Miss Falkenburg said she and hel
mother, Mrs. Marguerite Falken-
burg, were among non-priority pas
sengers forced to give up seats on a
TWA Stratoliner. Bad weather east
of mere had forced cancellation OF
two earlier planes. "and 40 priority

However, am keeping my fingers
crossed. I just talked with the USO
in New York, and they have
promised to help me get a priority
I still nope to reach New York some

Hearing on Photography
In Restaurants Called

At the request OF a number o1
commercial photographers, the AL.
coholic Beverage Control Board will
hold public hearing at pm. june
10, at the Municipal Center Building
on granting permission to photog-
raphers to take pictures in class c
licensed establishments, such as
restaurants, hotels and clubs.
The practice of taking pictures
common in night clubs here and in
other cities. has been questioned by
the corporation counsel's office. The
liquor regulations, it was pointed
out, state that no dining rooms
shall be considered suitable (for a
license) if any business is conducted
therein other than the preparation
cooking and serving of meals, ex-
cept such business as is incidental
to a bona fide dining ROOM"
The corporation counsel's Office is
understood to have taken the posi-
ton that night club photography is
not incidental to the operation of q
dining room. Photographers have
protested to ruling and have asked
for hearing, claiming that their
business Is incidental to a dining
room in the same way that a dance
band is often part Of the business.
