By the Associated Press.

GUAM, June 18.-Subsequent
events proved the wisdom Of tactical
decisions made on Okinawa, Admira.
Chester w. Nimitz said yesterday
and added that criticism leveled by
David Lawrence, newspaper coll
umnist. was "out of place and ILL
advised"
Simple justice to a group Of fine
soldiers" made it necessary that Mr.
Lawrence's June 4 column be an
swered, the Pacific fleet commander
told press conference in an un-
precedented statement.
"Lawrence's column showed that
he had been badly misinformed, ,
Admiral Nimitz said and had been
given information by some one with
AM Axe to grind" The remarks give
the impression, he declared, that the
writer has been made use of fol-
purposes which, are not in the best
interests of the United States"
1n Washington, Mr.. Lawrence
replied that Admiral Nimitz him.
self was ''misinformed about what
I wrote" The column, he said,
was based on dispatch from
Okinawa by Correspondent HON.
er Bigart of the New York Herald
Tribune, who expressed the
opinion a landing should have
been made by Marines behind
the japanese linesD
It. Gen Simon Bolivar Buckner
jr. 10th Army commander, made all
tactical decisions on the island
but they had my concurrence, u
Admiral Nimitz declared.
New landings" he said, would
have had to be made over very I'M
satisfactory beaches against an
alerted enemy defense. They would
have created heavy casualties and
would have created unacceptab BILE
supply problems. The tactics de-
cided upon have now proved sue
cessful with losses to ourselves

MARKS CITES US0
WAR JOB RECORDS

U. S. O., the largest cooperative
enterprise for entertainment ana
relaxation in the history OF civil
cation, is adapting itself to the
biggest moving job ever under
taken by mankind-the transfer
of our fighting men from Europe
to the Pacific theatre OF war, n:
A. Marks, campaign chairman OF
the Community War Chest, SAID
yesterday.
In addition, Mr.. Marks pointed
out, U. S. o. Camp Shows must
20 on in Europe as we'll as in the
Pacific. The soldier who has
stopped fighting and who is kept
waiting in the many European
reassignment centers needs recre-
alton so that he can overcome
boredom and prepare himself for
the "second installment' of the
war, this time "Pacific style"
The U. S. o. is sending units to
these European troop centers, and
there will be entertainment and
new motion pictures every night.
There will be lectures and libra
ries, and many other means OF
relaxation.
In the Pacific area more than
$500 U. S. o. Camp show enter
tainers will bring Gift and
laugh to millions of our fight
ers at the front, on invasion
beaches, in hospitals, on ship
board, in training camps and
ports. Every island captured in
the Pacific increases the need of
U. S. o. Camp show troopers.
Five hundred twenty-seven Ser
vice centers are located in the
United States near the 1913 Army,
Navy, and Marine General hos
pitfalls. These centers are often
the first contact the disabled SER
vice men make with civilian life.
Since morale is harder to keep
up while waiting for demobiliza-
ton, every contingent of troops
ready for discharge is in equally
great need of U. S. o. services.
Through your contributions to
the Community War Chest" Mr..
Marks said, 1--WE are the proud
owners of U. S. O., that gigantic,
democratic and indispensable Or
ganization which was created by
American ingenuity and which
provides invaluable service to all
our fighting men and women.

cantly, however, a communique
from the Big Three said that
"there were meetings between the
chief of staff OF the three govern
