End Of Bitter Okinawa Struggle At Hand Jungle Slows Australians Drive In Borneo Japs Reform Battle Line In Northern Luzon.

PEARL HARBOR, June. 13. (UP) The end was in sight on Okinawa today after the 10th Army cracked the last enemy linei Marines and doughboys stormed the Yaeju-Dake plateau from three sides, blasting the Japanese suicide soldiers with flame throwers and tommy guns. Gains were made up to 1,000 yards as the final defenses were blasted open. In the other battle of the day the Australians continued their drive toward Brunei, in North Borneo, but the thick jungle and bad roadg slowed them, and they already could see the black columns of smoke ahead as the Japanese fired the oil fields. ' . '' ' 1 ;. In. the Pacific war generally it was a day of hard, slugging fighting, the kind that causes more casualties and rates less headlines than the sensational victories.

In the Philippines, the advance I on northern .Luzon was resumed, but at a slowed pace, as the Japanese reformed their line across the Cagayan valley north of Bagabag. The air forces gave the attacking 37th Division close and effective support, plastering enemy positions with 322 tons of bombs. B-24 Liberators joined in the attacks on Japan's homeland for the first time; as they teamed with Navy Privateers for raids on the island of Kozu, 100 miles south of Tokyo, and on ships in surrounding waters. Six cargo vessels were sunk or damaged in the raids off Kozu and off the southwest coast of Honshu. The Japanese took a look at the general picture and said they New I.U. Dental Dean DR. MAYNARD K.

would have to fignt harder. Premier. Kantaro. Suzuki promised a "drastic intensification" of the war effort after the Diet gave the government dictatorial powers. The Japanese garrison on Okinawa spurned surrender and today it paid a price., The final American assault began after the enemy ignored Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner's unprecedented surrender offer. The fighting was lighter on Borneo, where the Australians still had to meet any kind of organized resistance. Bulldozers were blazing a path through the jungle toward Brunei town, and it was slow work. The Australians gained two miles. SEA CAPTAIN, 79, IN FRAY SINCE PEARL HARBOR PHILADELPHIA (UP) Capt. William H. Chambliss, who at 79 is the oldest navigator in the U, S. ,Meerchant Marine, is realizing his ambition "to help wallop the Jap- ' anese." , .. . "My wish now is to go on helping finish Tokyo," he said. Chambliss, who wears ribbons of three wars on his chest, arrived at his Philadelphia home recently after he ' saw action at Leyte. Before that, he sailed to the Pacific war ' zone numerous times, carrying bombs, Army and Navy materiel and personnel. "I watched the first American troops on Leyte mowed down by Japanese guns in the hills," he said. Chambliss has been a skipper since 1884. He retired after the first World War. Then came Pearl Harbor. . "On the day of the sneak Japanese attack on Hawaii, I sent a telegram to the Navy Department requesting that I be moved from the retired list so I could helpwallop those Japanese," he said, They told me to report." The dean of the merchant marine proudly relates that he sailed a Liberty ship in the first convoy to Russia. Not one ship or man was lost on the trip over. After that, he made numerous trips to New Guinea, the Philippines and Hawaii. But the Mississippi-born veteran has his eyes fixed on even more important work. He wants to sail into Tokyo.
