Seeks Assurance
Shortly before midnight last
night Stettinius met with several
members OF the Russian delegation,
whose names were not disclosed,
trying to reach an agreement as
surfing success of today's efforts to
organize the conference.
In an earlier talk with military
and naval advisers, a formula was
worked out for setting up interna-
tional trusteeships for eX-enemy
dependent territories.
This provided that strategic base
areas should be handled through
the proposed security council as
being essential to the armed protec-
ton OF future peace, and that other
trustee territories should be super
vise' by the general assembly OF
the world organization, with a pri-
mary view to building up living
standards OF their people.
Military advisers at the session

 Germany will have place in the comity of nations, he said, only after all traces of Naziism and mill itarism have been effectively and finally extirpated," he said.

them were shot down or damaged.
 Although it was the second time in eight days that vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher sent his planes roaring in over Tokyo in now alti- tude attacks, the Japanese failed to challenge his great carrier task force and they offered only slight resistance over the target areas.
 Two of our light units were damaged during retirement, Nim- itzs communique said, presumably by air attack. We lost nine fighter planes in combat and four pilots.
 Against this loss, American planes chalked up ratio of better than IT to one in the destruction of enemy aircraft. Our pilots des- troyed III Japanese planes on the ground and shot down AT in aerial combat, total of 1858. In addition. about 75 Jap planes were damaged on the ground
 Our planes sank five small enemy vessels, including one picket craft, probably sank five coastal vessels and seven small craft and damaged nine coastal vessel sand five small craft.
 Mitscher's fighters and bombers also destroyed two trains in the Tokyo area and Radar installations and hangars at nearby airnelds.
 The Japanese offered surprisingly little resistance to this second ser- ies of carrier attacks on their capital. B-29 pilots returning from their attack on Sunday reported almost no opposition.
 The communique said that about 100 Jap aircraft were in the air, but "the majority of them were unaggressive."
 There was no attempt to attack Mitschers task force, although it must have been operating well within 300 miles of the enemy's coast.
 The strikes were made through extremely adverse weather condi- tions B-29 pilots on Sunday re- ported a thick overcast over the city.
 The huge Ota aircraft factory covered some 5,OO0,OO0 square feet and contained Sub-aSSembly shops, engine plants, machine shops, foun- dries, power plants, and other shops. As one of the units of the akajima Company was believed to have produced a large percentage of Japanese Army and Navy com- bat planes. The Koisuni plant, three miles from the Ota factory, was an airframe and assembly plant and also 8 part of the Nakajima group. Serious damage to these two im- portant plants undoubtedly consti- tuted serious setback to Japanese aircraft production.
 Hachijo island is almost directly on the air route from the Marianas to Tokyo. It Is we'll located for use as lookout point and interceptor base. It is nine miles long and 1-2 miles wide and Is known to have at least one airStrip with others probably under construction.
