A Pacific fleet communique confirmed that Japanese suicide planes attacked American warships off the island Sunday and damaged one light naval unit, but at a cost of 45 aircraft. In Washington, the navy department identified two of the light units sunk off Okinawa recently as the American destroy- , era Morrison and Luce.

that It was essential to maintain control of the situation because of possible consequences throughout the middle east. 0 Republicans Seek Some Price Boosts Ignore Democratic Cries Os Inflation Washington, June 5 — (UP) — Despite Democratic cries of “inflation” Republicans intend to wage a stiff battle for limited price increases, it became clear today. The Republicans — and some few Democrats —assert that office of price administration ceilings have forced many producers and merchants out of business because they could not make a profit. Price administrator Chester Bowles answered that charge today by releasing a study of financial statements of 1,120 leading corporations for the first six months of 1944. The figures, he said, show that average profits ranged from earnings “by a bare handful" of only slightly above prewar profits to earnings 10 and 12 times prewar income. During the first three months of 1945, he said, corporate profits in general were slightly below those .of the corresponding quarter of last year “but profits of most price-controlled industries have risen without interruption.” This, he said, was due to increased production. “These new figures.” Bowles declared, “refute emphatically statements by some critics of price control that OPA policies have worked general financial hardship on business.” The battle over price policies has already gone one round with the Democrats getting the first decision. That took place in the senate banking committee where a majority of members approved a one-year extension of the price control act without the amendments the GOP members sought to tack on. The next big round is scheduled for the senate floor where the Republicans will battle for amendments to the OPA act while administration supporters attempt to force its passage unaltered.

He pointed out that today was the first anniversary of the first B-29 combat mission—the raid on Bangkok, Thailand. “In Decemlber 1943 aircraft plants produced less than 'SO B-29's” Gen. Cook said. “This month Boeing planito at Seattle and Wichita, Martin at Omaha, and Bell at Atlanta will combine to produce several times that number. And the rate is still increasing.” UNCIO PLANS FOR (Continued From Page Ore) drei A.Gromyko. head of the Soviet delegation, cabled the Kremlin Saturday night that the other big powers had rejected Russia's interpretation of the .Yalta voting formula. Communication with Moscow is slow, and last night there was disposition among the American and British delegations to wait at least another 48 hours —until Wednesday or Thursday — before making any move. Some members of the American delegation appeared willing t' wait until the end of the week.
