(Continued from page 1)
by states and communities In
; honor of the veterans. The mem
,' orlal proposed .y the organlza-

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. And you'll earn the deep re
spect of Navy men everywhere.
They'll be proud you're wearing
the gallant blue uniform of the
WAVES. Because that uniform is
proof that YOU'RE serving your
country, too gladly, valiantly

Harbor.
"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

"were of the 24,000-ton fcsscx type

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.

battle for vital Changsha fled
