New Attacks On Home , Islands Announced As Superforts Fill Japan's Inland Sea And Major Harbors With

Mines-Die-Hard Nazis Still Fight In Czechoslovakia; Round Up More War-Guilty Leaders. BULLETIN! , GUAM, May 11. (UP) Japan's inland sea and major harbors are "Dolluted" with explosives and mines drooped by an armada of Superfortresses seeking to bottle up the enemy's naval and merchant fleets, the 21st Bomber Command disclosed today. A sDokesman at Maj. Gen. Curt's Lernay's headquarters said that the "aim if the mining is to assist in destuction of Japanese productive power, both military and civilian, bv paralyzing the enemy's shmborne commerce," which he said comprised 75 per cent of all Japanese transportation.

(By United Press) The stepped-np air war .against , Janan continued today with new Superfortress attjicks on tile home islands and announcement that the big Japanese nval station ;t ."Saigon, French Indo-China, has been bombed1 almost out of existence. Headquarters of the United States 5th Air Force in the Pacific announced' that seven concentrated blows were struck at Saigon by heavy bombers and fighters from the Philippines between April 22 and May 4. Oil tlepots and ship repair yards were smashed and 95 enemy merchant ships and two naval craft destroyed or damaged. v :, A headquarters spokesman said Saigon, second .only? to Singapore as a Japanese naval repair station, may be useless as such for the duration of the war. More than 150 Superfortresses struck at the Japanese main islands again today, carrying on an offensive designed to cripple the enemy air force. Targets included the big naval plane plant at Fukae, on the inland sea coast of Honshu, and airfields and other targets on Kyushu. The latter island is the base from which Japanese suicide planes have been attacking American warships off Okinawa. - , . , Fires still burned in the fuel storage area and synthetic oil plants along the inland sea hit in yesterday's record attack by 400 Superfortresses. A smashing aerial campaign against Janan by an armada of 2,000 Superfortresses was predicted at a London press conference held by Lt. Gen. James IL Doolittle. He disclosed that 8th Air Force heavy bombers would be transferred to the Pacific as soon as possible, to rate merely as medium bombers in the campaign to be led by the giant B-29's. Part of the 8th Air Force will remain in Europe as "an air army of occupation." The dying echoes of the war in Europe continued to resound today in Czechoslovakia, where die-hard Nazi troops still defied the general surrender order effective last Tuesday midnight' Three Russian armies hammered these international outlaws holding out. in a 3,000-sauare mile, pocket centered in Bohemia. American 3rd Army troops held the western end of the pocket. Germany's U-boat fleet and other ships at sea were coming in to Allied ports in large numbers to surrender. A dispatch from the American naval base at Londonderry said the submarines were coming to the surface under the black flag of surrender all the way from the Azores area to a point off the Canadian coast. At least five were making for North Ireland ports. V War-guilty Nazi leaders and collaborationists were being rounded up. Gen. Nicholas von Falkenhorst, forme German commander in Norway, surrendered to the American 7th Armv in Austria. He made a harangue about the Allies having liberated Germany from "a system of gangsters." Germany, he said, is through as a world power and will not be able to wasre another war. ' Karl Kieger, commander of Heinrich Himmler's SS guards, also surrendered to the Americans. The hangman himself continued to elude capture. He had been reported at Mittendorf, but was not there when the Americans arrived.
