Another broadcast said the American raiders bombed and strafed Tokyo airfields for half an hour. Marines cleared three-fourths of Okinawa with a drive to the northern tip of the island. Other marines still were embattled on Motobu peninsula jutting from the northwest ‘coast. Army troops at the south end were stalled by, stubborn defense lines before Naha, the capital. Xs A Pacific fleet communique said that the first 18 days of the Okinawa . campaign, with associated operations in the Ryukyu chain and air raids on Japan, had cost the Americans 7895 killed, wounded or captured.
