_fl,e Allied armies need more
v1(i mo-c shells for battering their
wy into Germany, but there is no
«:-*rtase serious enough to impair
tho present offensive, it was said
at Supreme Headquarters today.
Reports that one infantry unit
ca ;hc L. S. Ninth Army front was
not given the artillery support it
requested because the batteries
had fired their quota we re regard
ed here as reflecting a local situa
tion rather than a general condi
tion.
■There always is the possibility
of a local shortage due to trans
portation difficulties,” a high of
.:;.■!■ said. "We need all the shells
... can get. but there is no general
■. rage. The campaign would not
have been undertaken if we did
not have enough shells — but of
course we can always use more.”

Koiso Complains Of U. S.
Effort To Conclude War
By The Associated Press
Premier Kuniaki Koiso of Japan
today pooh-poohed American
bombing attacks on Nippon and
threatened- “retaliatory measures
which will be impossible for the
enemy to forget” should the bomb
ers “damage a remote corner of
the sacred property held in rev
erence by the entire nation.”
The premier’s mention of t h e
“sacred property” apparently was
an oblique reference to the palace
of the Mikado, whom the Japanese
hold to be a descendent of their
sun god.
Koiso's address, broadcast by
Domei news agency and recorded
by the Federal Communications
Commission, commemorated the
attack on Pearl Harbor, or as the
Japanese called it, “the third an
niversary of the outbreak of the
war of Greater East Asia.”
Koiso charged the United States
with broadcasting “extremely
wily” propaganda and of “concoct
ing astronomical figuies” of Japa
nese war losses.
On the other hand, he said, the
United States never admitted its
own losses, and when these are
known the shock of Americans will
be “beyond imagination.”
Skipping reference to the Japa
nese sneak attack on Pearl Har
bor, the Domei broadcast quoted
Koiso as saying United States
leaders “forcibly dragged their
people into the war without just
aims” and are “turning to every
means in their attempt to termin
ate the war in as short a period
as possible.”
Koiso said this explained the
“indiscriminate bombing of To
kyo.”
