Keeping Of Marianas
As West Pacific Base
Proposed by Gates
By the Associated Press.

~ tAac AbcOCldteu TIeS4s
PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TIERS. PEAR HARBOR, Jan. 81
Artemus Gates, Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy for Air, said yesterday
the Pacific Fleet must keep the Ma
rianas Islands as permanent
Western Pacific Pearl Harbor."
His interview declaration followed
by two days the announcement that
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz had
established forward headquarters,
several thousands miles west of
Pearl Harbor.
Mr.. Gates, who has just completed
tour that included Espiritu Santo,
Guadalcanal and Manus in the Ad-
miraities, as well as the Philippines,
said other bases should also be kept
and maintained. He did not specify
others.
I'VE have got to have permanent
bases In the Pacific" he said. Some
bases must always be established
and well maintained. T mean such
establishments as we now are build
Ing up In the Marianas. What
they stand for is another Pearl
Harbor. $500 miles west of this
place"
Better Jap Planes Seen.
Mr. Gates said the American car
rier forces will encounter more and
better enemy planes, probably some
jet-propelled, as they hit closer and
closer to the heart of Japan's en-
pire.
He said there was no question but
that Japan was improving it's COM
bat plane types and "as we get
nearer they will certainly come out
with a better type than we've ever
seen before"
The Japanese, Mr.. Gates said, un-
doubtedly have believed information
from the Germans about jet-pro-
PEELED planes and will produce them.
Mr.. Gates remarked that the win
ming by Americans of complete air
superiority in the Philippines had
been a teamwork job by the Sd and
7th Fleets and Gen. MacArthur,s
land-based planes.
: The Navy's air secretary declared
that American aircraft types were
also being improved. He mentioned
the carrier Hellcats and Corsairs.
Navy Flyers Praised.
Naval aviators, he said, have
lately been running power plays
and carrying out most of the often
sive action, as far as the fleets con-
cerned."
Vice Admiral John H. Towers,
deputy commander in chief of the
Pacific Fleet, who appeared with Mr..
Gates, remarked: We're getting
about down to the 10-yard line"
Mr.. Gates was asked whether the
fighting men in forward areas felt
let down by home-front production.
"The overall picture is good" he
replied. Its American productive
capacity that's helping win this war
You can't look at this record and say
the home front is letting us down. -

SUNDAY SET As DAY
FOR THANKSGIVING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18-Pres-
ident Truman today proclaimed
next Sunday, Aug. 19-as day of
prayerful thanksgiving for victory
and remembrance of those who died
to achieve it.
He announced simultaneously
that there will be no official holiday
VI Day, which will come only after
japanese forces have laid down
their arms.
The day of prayer was designated
in a solemnly worded proclamation
which asserted that ''this day is a
new beginning in the history Of
freedom on this earth"
The announcement of no VI holi-
day came informally at the Presi-
dents news conference.
The President said in his procla-
nation that victory came from the
courage and stamina and spirit of
free men and women"
1T has come" he added, with
the help of God, who was with us
in the early days of adversity and
disaster and who has now brought
us to this glorious day of triumph"
Along with the Presidents pro-
nouncement came word from War
Labor board officials that, unless a
labor contract covers the point, it
will be up to the boss to decide
whether workers off the job yester-
day and today get pay.

day night had given the two days

GEN. BOARDS OF NATIONAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (ANP)
Negro club women of the coun-

citation of Colored Women, who
were planning to go from every
state in the union to Daytona Beach,
Fla, this month for the biennial
convention were disappointed by
the announcement that the conven-
tion would be called off. Travel re-
strictions made it impossible for the
large body of women which had
planned to be present, to travel SO
great a distance.
The general boards, comprising
in themselves cross section of the
women of the country, will however
gather in Washington for a three
day conference, Aug. 24-26. The
meetings will be held at the re-
vamped national headquarters in
the building owned by the associa-
ton. Mrs. A. B. DEMENT, of Mineral

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 CAMP,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (ANP)
"A citizens committee represent
ing about 80 organizations and
spearheaded by the local branch of
the NAACP was preparing to make
an impressive presentation in op-
position to the plan of the district
recreation board to establish jim
crow arrangements in the federal
parks of Washington, it is learned
Described by William H. HASTE,
dean of the law school of Howard
university, as "the biggest thing
since the Marian Anderson dis
pute," the argument was scheduled
to be made at the meeting of the
board which had been called spe-
officially to hear protests to their
plan.
In this fight, HASTE said, 1--WE are
going to surprise them with those
who make the presentation. We eX-
pect to have some distinguished
citizens not connected with protest
organizations" he said.
The struggle has been developing
for a few months now. The parks in
question are federal property but
through agreements between the
department of interior and the rec
reation board, the latter is allowed
to operate them. Parks belonging to
the district are at present operated
on the jim-crow plan, and it is the
intention of the board to carry out
the same policies in the handling of
the other play areas.
