NEW SCHOOL FOR S, IDE IS URGED

Post-War Plan Suggests Use of Manual High For Veterans.

A new South side high school, possibly .near Fountain Square, was recommended yesterday by the Indianapolis post-war planning committee, ‘Manual high school would not be abandoned, according to the plan, but could be used for veterans who might hesitate to finish their high school education among pupils three or four years younger than themselves. Later, Manual could be used for adult education classes, it was suggested. A new and larger grade school to replace several smaller, older ones on the near South side was also recommended but no specific schools were mentioned. Replacement of School 2, 700 N. Delaware st., and School 4, 630 W. Michigan st., was recommended.

Traffic Relief Plan Outlined

Modernization of the downtown traffic control system, including walk-wait signals for pedestrians, two belt routes for trucks and construction of railroad grade separations also were recommended by the committee. The installation of parking meters in the downtown area tacitly recommended by a suggestion that the $173,000 estimated cost

Tells of Record Bombardment by Navy.

layed) (Via Navy Radio).—Marines who survived the rain of mortars and artillery fire on the jungle-

in tonight after repulsing two Japanese tank counter-attacks in which the Japs fought with a rat-like fury to defend this last land barricade | to the Philippines. Thousands of Japanese in the northern islands of this volcanic chain were forced to stand by in impotent rage—immobilized by our mighty naval armada—while the marines swarmed ashore at Peleliu under a bombardment from sea and sky which rolled up a 4000-foot black curtain in the windless tropical air. But the cornered garrison on Peleliu, which is shaped like a baited fishhook with an excellent airstrip in the curve of the hook, somehow survived the fearful pounding and marines had to fight for every inch against a garrison] estimated at more than 10,000 before the attack began.

A Crushing Weight

I watched the bombardment and landing from the bridge of this flagship and never before in the Pacific, dt Tarawa, Kwajalein, Eniwetok or at Saipan, have I seen the enemy subjected to such a crushing weight of metal and explosives. It stripped the tops from trees and the bark from their trunks and left only riddled stumps. It left bare limestone and phosphate cliffs protruding like bones. For three hours battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and bombing planes hammered the beaches and cliffs until it seemed impossible that a single Jap was left alive, But the Nips apparently burrowed into the caved precipices of Peleliu, which is topographically similar to Saipan.

A Miracle

WT RATAN

The marines went ashore in their amphibious tractors less than two minutes off schedule and were given the final seaborne boost when LCI's raked the invasion beaches with nearly 10,000 rockets.

First Waves Land 2

The first waves of the assault landed safely, but the Japs, overcoming their initial grogginess, began laying down mortar and ar-

some units off the tiny islet, which has no name on the charts. Aerial bombers finally knocked out the enfilade post. “pespite “the fritense opposition, the marines rapidly organized and began bulging their beachhead inland, threatening encirclement of the airstrip, and late this afternoon had pushed across the narrow island neck to confine a portion of the enemy garrison on the southeast tip. The Japanese mobilized an estimated 20 tanks and attempted to attack from the north, but naval planes joined the marines to turn back the assault. Shortly before sunset a, second enemy attempt to pour tanks onto the beachhead from ravines on the five-mile long island was broken by bazookas and naval gunfire, : Our control of air -and sea was absolute all day long and the Japa-
