that killed a Japanese. who refused to surrender. Twenty-four other Japanese civilians and 38 natives, for the most part employees of the Japanese Copra Co. or shipwreck survivors, were removed from the islands. ; . Supplies and food were left behind for the approximately 260 native Japanese civilians who remained on the various islands. In the Philippines, the best part of five crack American divisions, including &n airborne force, were free today for operations elsewhere under Gen, Douglas MacArthur, commander for the invasion of Japan, after the complete liberation of Luzon. End Came Tuesday Probably not more than one or two divisions will be needed to complete the mopping up of the estimated 15,000 to 16,000" Japanese hiding in the hills of north Luzon. The end came when the 37th infantry and the 11th airborne linked 8000 yards east of the tiny Cagayan valley village of Alcala at 12:35 p. m. Tuesday. A Tokyo broadcast said Japan’s special suicide weapons being prepared to counter an expected Amerfcan invasion almost equaled the “total number of tanks and guns which appeared in the European war.” 4

Suicide Weapons

“Military observers here are of the opinion that Japan’s special

attack weapons completed the experimental stage in the Okinawa campaign and that final, fullfledged results will be obtained when United States forces attempt to carry out a landing on the Japanese mainland,” Tokyo said. Jokyo said suicide attack bases had been established throughout Japan and were training a man for each of the secret suicide weapons. Another Tokyo broadcast said “the sooner the enemy comes, the better for us, for our battle array Is complete.” Other developments in the Pacific war included: ONE -— Tokyo annpunced that 450,000 bombed-out inhabitants of Japanese cities would be moved to farms to help cope with Japan's growing food problems. TWO—Radio Tokyo said 32 Superfortresses mined Japan's inland sea, including Osaka bay, and the Japan sea approaches to Niigata on the northwest coast of Honshu last night and early today. THREE — Reconnaissance photo- _ graphs revealed an additional 3.45 ~ square miles of Japan had been destroyed in recent Superfortress raids on the industrial cities of Kagashima, Fukuoka and ‘Omuta. This boosted the industrial and urban area of Japan destroyed or damaged by B-29s to 115 square miles. FOUR — American light naval units sailed boldly through the Kurile island chain north of Japan and sank or damaged an entire Japanese convoy of five ships in the Sea of Okhotsk last Monday. FIVE—American planes sank six other Japanese vessels and damaged five off the coast of Japan and in the Sakashima islands in the southern Ryukyus. - SIX—Adm. . Chester W. Nimitz fixed navy casualties in the battle

of Okinawa and associated fleet operations since March 18 at 4907 dead and 4924 wounded, bringing total American casualties in the Okinawa campaign to 46,319. SEVEN—Gen. well, former chief of U. 8. ground forces, took over his new post as commander of the American 10th army on Okinawa, succeeding the late Lt. Gen, Simon Boliver Buckner Jr. EIGHT—Nimitz failed to confirm a Japanese radio report that American troops landed Monday on Kume island, 50 miles west of Okinawa. Radio Tokyo made no further mention of the report after saying yesterday that the Japanese garrison. was engaged in heavy fighting with the invaders.

Emergency Air Fields

Japanese broadcasts said Tokyo newspapers were predicting intensified air raids on Japan in preparation for invasion and warned that psychological warfare can ‘wreak havoc with a nation the moment the people lose confidence in vietory.” The new American landings in the northern Marianas were designed to discover islands on or near which American airmen returning from attacks on Japan could make emergency crash landings with damaged superfortresses and other planes. The islands stretch in a straight line north of Saipan and were Anatahan, 95 miles above Saipan, Sarigan, Almagan, Agrihan, Ascunsion and Maug, the latter 1100 miles south of Tokyo and 410 miles southeast of Iwo. Largest of the group was Anatahan, 14 square miles in area. The landing forces were commanded by Lt. Cmdr, W. E. Dunlap of Seattle, Wash.,, who participated in similar operations in the Solomons earlier in the war.

Jap Ships Sunk

In the first officially-reported American naval surface action west of the Kurile islands, cruisers and destroyers of the North Pacifiic fleet sank a 2000-ton cargo ship,

small cargo ship and a large tug,

probably sank a small vessel and damaged another small vessel in the Okhotsk sea. The Japanese returned ineffective automatic fire in the brief but vicious running battle in the Arctic dawn, American warships, commanded by Rear Adm. John H, Brown of Washington, D. C., suffered neither damage nor casualties. They attacked the five-ship convoy between Harumukotan island in the Kuriles and the Japanese-owned half of Sakhalin island, The daring strike carried the American battle flag within 635 miles of the Siberian coastline and within only 300 miles southwest of Petropavlovsk, capital of Kamchatka. In other attacks on Japanese shipping, navy planes sank a trawler and damaged a small cargo ship off the east coast of Honshu Wednesday and scored rocket hits on two medium-sized cargo ships south of Tokyo Tuesday. Five other small enemy craft were sunk and two damaged in attacks by marine Corsairs and Avengers in the Sakishima islands southwest of Okinawa.

and the “necéssity of the American Nationalist party.” Malone : also showed editorials from the New York Daily News and quoted the Chicago Tribune, this businessman reported. Malone said his work was concentrated in 15 Southern states and that “mind conditioning at the grass roots was necessary to defeat the New Deal and save free enterprise.” He thought it would take several miHion dollars to do the job, the businessman related, and that over half of that would be raised in the North by industrialists who were interested. With Reynolds’ introductory letter was a policy statement called “Freedom for Management.”

‘Not an Apology’ In part it said, “It is a basle tenet of the Nationalist Movement

that the fetters that have been subtly forged for management must be totally smashed. No compromise on this issue can be tolerated. The final victory against the couvert and subtle vitiation of the functions of management . . . will be won by sharpening our understand-. ing of New Deal obliqueness and Republican Me-Too-ism, or America will pass to the Communists by default. “The American Nationalist program is an affirmation of American values and not a sniveling apology. We will not compromise with Democratic New Dealism, or Republican candidates’ Me-Too-ism, or Communism: They are all degenerative forces and originate in the same cesspool. . We propose to win by taking the offensive and hitting out enemies with every weapon available. There are many such.

‘There’s. No Other Way’

“Businessmen will join the Nationalist Movement in this struggle or surrender America to Commu-

nism. There isn’t any other way.” Another businessman who was solicited for funds said Malone's line to him was to the effect that the Democratic party is hopelessly lost as far as conservatives are concerned, with the New Deal idea taking hold for good. The South is “out” to both conservative Democrats and Republicans, he said. So a new party to battle organized labor and protect business is needed, Malone said.. He made some reference to the “Negro menace,” this businessman reported, None of the businessmen gave the. financial support solicited, they reported, but not all those Malone contacted were asked whether they gave or not. They were extremely skittish about having their names even mentioned,

Locked Out of Room

Malone reportedly gets 40 per cent of all the money he collects, and 10 per cent of that McWilliams gets. McWilliams was locked out of his room at Cleveland's Hotel Statler for non-payment of a $70odd bill. He called Malone here and the next day Malone went to Cleveland and gave McWilliams a $75 check with which he paid the bill. But they have connections with plenty’ of money. Reynolds him-

When he sugceeded Hull seven months ago he turned his full energies to the task of preparing for the San Francisco conference. There, as chief of the American delegation, he teamed with British, Russian and Chinese representatives to lead 50 United Nations to agreement on a world security charter.
