I Naval Battle Raging Off Marianas, Tokyo Reports (Continued from page 1) the Marianas. Japanese civilians were reported coming through American linos for safety. Tokyo radio admitted Japan had "suffered considerable losses of ships and planes" of Saipan, apparently referring to the Sun day action in which 300 enemy '. planes were downed. 1 Nimitz estimated COO Japanese planes have been destroyed in the entire invasion. Confident of Outcome Nimitz assured a press confer ence the Fifth fleet packs suffi cient "power to be favorable to us in a decisive engagement," even if it is massed more than 1,000 miles beyond the U. S. ad vance naval base in the Mar-1 tal corps, in communications, etc. Whatever your job, you'll carry the atme responsibilities, rate the same salutes, command the same respect as any other member of Uncle Sam's forces.

"We hope the Jap fleet will stay in that 'Philippines) area, he said. "As long as they stay, we have a chance to get at them." Nimitz emphasized that he had expected Japan s violent reaction at Saipan because it is in the last I island defense line before China and the Philippines. The 72-square-mile island was invaded "on the assumption the Japanese would bring out every thing they possibly could." Japs Claim buccesses General MacArthur's men threw the enemy out of two more Blak Island airdromes, thus set ting up another threat to Nip pon's defenses. Biak is 880 miles from the Philippines. The Tokyo radio asserted today that an American battleship listed in a Japanese communique yesterday as sunk by Japanese planes off the Marianas June 16 was of the 45,000-ton Iowa class. The enemy broadcast, entirely without confirmation, said anoth er battleship claimed to have been heavily damaged was of the SJ.OOO-ton North Carolina class "and went down to a watery grave the night of June 15 off the Marianas."

A fourth appeared to be also of the Essex type." Chinese Flee Changsha On lis land front Japan was en gaged in a correspondingly great effort to plug the leaks in its de fensive dikes. Beyond captured Changsha in China its army of more than 50,000 men pushed southward along the Hankow Canton railroad. The enemy aim ei' at making this line a barrier against the rising tide of allied power, in effect cutting off east ern China from the allies. Chinese who lost the fourth battle for vital Changsha fled the doomed city and Japanese col umns swept down the railroad to within 65 miles of Hengyang would go a long wav toward mak ing good the Japanese offensive..
