After three days of complete in activity by the enemy air force over Okinawa, the Japanese sent in some planes Friday, headquar ters disclosed. “Two enemy planes were shot down by our night fighters and the remainder retired without causing damage,’’ the communique said. From last reported positions, the Marines on the west had less than three miles to go to reach the southernmost tip of the island, and the Seventh Infantry on the east was less than four miles away. It was estimated that the Jap anese were hemmed into an area of eight square miles, with the Americans to the north, the sea to the south and a torrent of bombs and naval artillery shells pouring out of the shy. The Tokyo radio said this fire was heavy, but enemy broadcasts seemed more concerned with what the Americans would be up to next than with the Okinawan mop up. The Japanese said that more and more assault boats were mov ing into Okinawan waters and speculated that some fresh attack on the empire might be in the making. For the Marines and the Infan try, the battle also was a race with the typhoon season. In the heart of the typhoon belt, the Oki nawa area is raked by those storms at the rate of three to four a month through July, August and early September.

Haring spoke highly of the work done by the Civilian Army engineers, pointing out that it has been of inestimable value in en abling the Corps to establish its | high record in both wartime and; peacetime work. GENERAL REYBOLD SPEAKS “The big job is still ahead,” Lieut. General Eugene Reybold. Chief of Army Engineers, declared in a nation-wide radio address from Washington last night to the civilian and military personnel of the Corps. “The very tempo and fury of the war against Japan will be measured by the speed with which we, the Army Engineers, can do our jobs.” he asserted. Speaking of the necessity of re deploying troops and providing fa cilities to make the advances of our armies possible, he empha sized that the work of the Engi neers in this respect is “a re sponsibility comparable to fighting the war itself.” “For the Army Engineers the problems in the Pacific are more complex than any we have here tofore faced. It is our mission to clear the way for the movement of our armies. This will require a vast amount of equipment, ma teriel and much hard fighting. “This is no time to falter in our determination. The hours v. 1 be long; the work will-be hard; and the conditions under which some of you will work may be even harder than now, but the cause for which you work and fight is priceless. “It is gooij to reflect upon our victory in the west and we have a justifiable right to be proud of our part in that victory, but to mistake the cloak of victory on one side of the world for the sub stance of our ultimate military triumph would be to court disas ter,” he asserted. General Reybold congratulated the Corps on the record accom plished so far in this war, as well as in peacetime, and stated that everyone had carried out the mis sion assigned to him in the high est tradition of the Corps. He called upon them to continue the work in the same spirit of high achievement. _v_ POTATO BUYER HELD IN BLACK MART CASE Continued from Page One) general hearing with representa tives of the OPA summoning deal ers, shippers and growers and several buyers.

As a result, he asserted, Ameri can civilians will have smaller supplies of some of their favorite foods than during any other year of the war. Fears of food shortages have arisen because it is not generally understood that the end of the war in Europe did not reduce the demand on this nation’s food sup plies, Jones said in an address prepared for delivery over the Columbia Broadcasting System. “While there are some inequi ties in distribution,” he said, “the problem is not a lack of produc tion, but the greatly increased de mand that is being made on American food from all over the world.” With 10 per cent fewer workers on farms and the national popula tion 30 per cent greater, the U. S. civilian population has had about 10 per cent more food per capita during this war than in the 1917-18 period, he declared. “True,” he added, “sopie items have come up short at times. Dis tribution has not always been on a fair basis, but we can always buy some kind of wholesome food. It is in the nation’s own interest, he declared, to help provide food for millions of starving peoples in liberated European nations. “Otherwise,” he said, “the fruits of the war will be lost and chaos might result. Permanent peace cannot be had in a hungry world.” -y Land Elected Head Of Carpenters Union J. T. Land was elected presi dent of Carpenters Local union No. 1165 at a meeting during the past week.

Anglo-Ameri can leaders have made it clear there can be no compromise peace, he added, declaring a Japanese peace proposal would not be diplo macy but surrender.
