 capital, in heavy fighting.
 Bombing and straflng carrier planes and the big guns of warships of shore supported the ground forces with an around-the-clock bombardment.
 Toyko broadcasts acknowledged that the invaders, advancing "un- der cover of powerful tanks and shelling," had reached line south of Omaya, Shinoushi and Arakakt, Japanese counter-attacks were un- der way, Tokyo said.
 At the northern end of the beach, head, Marines of the Third Am phibious Corps gained another two to three miles along the Ishikawa Peninsula connecting southern and central Okinawa against light re- Sistance.
 The Japanese launched their aerial counter attack against the fleet in the Ryukyu Islands of which Okinawa is the largest - late Thursday night. Nine planes which broke through to the OkinaWa area
 
 were shot down.
 Hundreds of enemy aircraft re- newed the attack in daylight yes terday, only to run into a hornets nest of American Hellcat and Cor sair Fighters from two fast carriers groups under Rear Admirals Fred erick Sherman and J. J. Clark.
 Some l50 of the Japanese raiders were sent crashing into the sea in aerial combat, communique an- nounced. It specified that the count was preliminary and incomplete"
 Navy search planes raised the 24- hour toll to 16l by shooting down two more Japanese aircraft in the Rayukyu, possibly limping home from the major engagement.
 Tokyo said the attacks were continuing today.
 With Japanese airfields in the Ryukyus neutrlized by the Amer ican and British fleets, 1t was theor- ized that the attacking planes were coming from the Japanese home is- lands of Kyushu and Honshu and from FormoSa, southwest of Okin-  ava.
 Observers speculated that the Japanese may have decided to throw in their diminishing air strength wholesale in an effort to calm the home front, already seri- ously disturbed by the increasing raids on Japan, the fall of their second wartime cabinet and Rus- sia's denunciation of the Soviet Japanese neutrality pact.
 Pacific fleet headquarters an- nounced that the 77th Army Di- vision killed 539 Japanese and cap- tured 166 prisoners in the capture of the Gerama Islands 10 to 20 miles west of Okinawa prior to the main landing on OKinawa last Sum- day.

 However, IZvestia said, Germany's initial successes in Russia turned the heads of many Jap politicians who were ready to gamble on Ger many's cards"
 Izvestia said that relations with Japan had been highly unsatisfac- tory for 20 yeWs after the Com munist revolution and that Soviet denunciation of the pact lis the di- rect consequence of the fact that Japan is the ally of Germany which is waging 8 bandit-like war against the Soviet Union and that Japan is waging war against the Soviets AL lies, the United States and Britain '
 Izvestia recalled Japar's interven- tion in Siberia in 19.3, her occupa- ton of northern Sakhalin and the endless border conflicts which cul- minated in the battles in outer Mon- golia in 1888.
 This is a far from complete list of acts testifying that the ruling circles in Japan in a space of many years waged an aggressive policy against the Soviet Union, leading tc repeated sharp conflicts" IZvestis said.
