wounds in the sale haven of the
South China sea. .'"'..',
Thut seems to bo the story.
IN the Sunday battle (when the
Japs tried another Pearl Har
bor, sneak) we shot down 353
enemy ..planes jvith a, loss of 21
of ours. In the Monday evening
battle (wherj we struck back) we
lost 49 planes and shot down only
15 or 20 defending Japti. . . ,
' , This ,1s the reason for the dif
ference: In the Monday evening
battle, there weren't many Jap
pianos LEFT TO SHOOT DOWN.
All our planes had to' do was to
dodge anti-aircraft fire and' SINK
JAP SHIPS.
Our air, losses were relatively
iieavy because night was coming
on, many of our planes were oat
of fuel or couldn't find their wey
back to their carriers, in the dark
and so' had to come down on the
Water and take to their rafts.
(Many Of them have since been
rescued and others probably will
be.)
HEME are some revealing sta
tistics: '
. The larcgst Jap carrier identifi
ed in the battle Is listed by Jane's
Fighting Ships as carrying 60
.planes. There are supposed to
have been five or six Jap carriers
in their task force including
SMALLER ones.
On Sunday we SHOT DOWN
353 JAP PLANES.
That is to say, we must have
shot down the bulk ot the planes
the Japs sent out.
h"
IERE on the safe home front,
we are inclined to be disap
pointed because the Japs ran in
stead of fighting It out In a last
and decisive stand. If, we could
have caught their whole fleet
and smashed It, the end of the
war would be at least In sight.
They didn't 6tand and fight to
the death.
BUT, by running, they admitted
that they are too weak to tackle
us. By running, they left us free
to take possession of Salpan and
tndld thereon air bases from
which we can batter Japan (with
our Super-Fortresses) as we have
been battering Germany.
fpXTREME caution in the
la handling of the news indi
cates that the battle may not be
over yet. The Japs MIGHT strike
again, in greater force. But we
certainly won the fii-st round de
cisively.) AT Cherbourg, we're launching
a final all-out attack, preceded
by a cloud of bombers and a
mighty artillery barrage, on Ihe
Germans left In the inner city.
They're apparently prepared to
d'e fighting to gain as much
time as they can. As this is writ

POLITICAL
By Charles
POLITICS will vie in interest
conventions of the major
Chicago during: the next few
beat, mud will fly, the smear
tents and, all-in-all, the American public will be treated to a
political exhibition such as could occur -wly in the United
States.
The late Irvin Cobb once said, in effect, that arguments
are won by the man who can yell the loudest, and it seems
we apply much the same philosophy to our elections.
We speak of political parties by names republicans and
democrats but, actually, the two parties are the "ins" and
the "outs" Neither has much resemblance to its original
form.
The party now in power has, in its administrative record,
violated practically every tenet upon which the democratic
party was created. Its structure of top-heavy bureaucracy
and centralized government is a far cry from the principles
which marked the beginnings of the democratic party.'
The elephant,' which symbolizes the G. 0. P., to properly
represent the party as it is today, should be pictured as one
of those museum skeletons. '
The republicans have been given some good advice re
cently by outstanding political advisers. This advice is to
bring forth a positive and constructive platform, rather than
taking A negative attitude which offers only criticism of the
New" Deal,
There has' been manifest a decided turn in. the political
tide recently, the current running against the party in power.
Many republicans, in their over-optimism, believe the force
of accumulated hatred of the
0. P. candidate into office. If
such an attitude, it is not deserving of victory. The repub
lican party owes it to the people of the United States to bring
forth a platform which would, if approved by the voters, as
sure restoration of constitutional government, respect for
states' rights, an international policy pledged to permanent
peace fihd a program for bringing order out of existing do
mestic chaos. The party's stand on political issues should
be clef.r-cut. The platform should contain no mumbo-jumbo
or doiible-talk.
We have heard much criticism leveled at Governor Dewey,
who from all present appearances will bo the republican
candidate, because of his failure to make a declaration of
policy. We cannot join in that criticism. It is foolhardy
to risk exposure to snipers before the attack. A candidate
is supposed to represent the party and the party platform.
Until the platform is prepared and adopted there is, techni
cally, no policy upon which a candidate rightfully can pre
sent himself to the voters. We may well be sure, if Dewey
is the candidate, the platform
views. . ' '
In our opinion, the republican party can be successful
only if it casts off reactionary tendencies and places before
the people a candidate and program in which the public can
have complete confidence.
We had a long talk recently
one olf the major battlefronts.
ing the attitude of the men in
vote question. He replied ho had heard the matter freely
discussed by his comrades, and the consensus of opinion
was "let the people at home do the voting and we'll do the
fighting."
That attitude places the responsibility squarely up to the
voters at home. It makes it doubly important that the ma
jor parties be honest with those who must make the decision.
Disregarding the frills, horseplay, ballyhoo and specious
oratory that -will probably clutter proceedings, the repub
licans, nt their coming national
offer a platform of constructive policies if liny are to ex
pect and deserve victory in

DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
"The American Friends Ser
vice Committee has adopted
this motto: "It is better to
light a candle than to curse
the darkness." . It would be
difficult to, find a finer state
ment of the spirit that should
characterize a Christian's out
look upon life. Two men
found themselves on an un
familiar mountain trail. Some
miles from their destination,
when the sun went down,
Darkness completely swallow
ed them up. The trail was
difficult, even In daylight, and
they feared they would never
find their way out had they not
seen a feeble light in the dis
tance. . Following; this . they
came to a ranch house where
the good people offered them a
raritern beside giving them
simple directions about the
way. . There are two things
they might , have done that
night. They could have curs
ed the darkness that over
whelmed them, or they could
have lighted the lantern and
followed directions which they
did. How. many are cursing
the darkness of the present
world conditions at times It
looks as if we were In for a to
tal eclipse of high morals and
good will,' but Jesus said, "I
am the light of the world,"
and our present condition is
evidence of moral and spiritual
darkness. "Let us light a can
dle rather than curse the dark
ness." Amen.
tlon Program from eight until
nine. Monday morning will bring
you the opening session of the

usual only Susan is going vaca

Yes and a rest too. So It's so

LETTERS
to the Editor
NEGLIGENCE IN VOTER
REGISTRATION IS NOTED
Editor News-Review:
This Is a presidential election
year and everyone seems to be
interested in the election this
fall, which is as it should be. But
I fjnd, from circulating petitions,
that a great many persons who
signed petitions believe they are
registered voters although a
check reveals that their names
do not appear on thej registration
books.
. By making inquiries from some
of these parties, I learned they
did not vote either in the primar
ies or the general elections in the
last two years, that some have
moved from one voting district
to another, or have otherwise lost
their registration.
The petitions signed in Doug
las county to put the state old
age pension matter on the ballot
show nearly 14 per cent of the
signers are not registered.
If a person does not vote in at
least one election In a two-year
period, the name Is taken off the
poll books. It is the duty of every
citizen to vote and If he or she
does not vote, then the individ
ual has no right to complain
about any laws that are passed.
So I would urge every person
who has some doubt whether or
not he is properly registered, to
determine his standing imme
diately, and would urge every cit
izen to be prepared to vote, as it
is the one privilege we have left.

Ike Williams Flattens
Shans in Tenth Round
NEW YORK, .June 24. (AP)
The lightweight fistic heights had
a new boy today Ike Williams,
slugging negro from Trenton,
N. J.
He had punched his way Into
the picture last night in Madison
Square garden with a 10th round
technical knockout over Clea
Shans of Los Angeles. It was
the first time in 79 bouts that
Shans failed to finish.
, Shans forced the fighting all
the way, trying to get in close
where he's a devastating hitter
with each hand, but Williams re
treated and counter-punched his
way to victory.
Referee Billy Cavanagh didn't
even start a count when Shans
went down from a right to the
jaw after 26 seconds in the tenth,
but he could have counted to
plenty before Shans regained con
sciousness. Many Danish women have "cur
iosity mirrors" which enable
them to look up and down the
street fmm their windows.

Saipan Situation
Critical for Japan,
Spokesman Admits
(By the Associated Press.)
Etsuzo Kurihara, chief of the
naval press section of Japanese
imperial headquarters, declared
in a formal statement broadcast
by Tokyo today that the "battle
situation in the Saipan area Is the

The statement, recorded by the
Office of War Information, said a
major effort would be necessary
to turn back advanced naval ele
ments "centered around more
than a dozen battleships . with
more than 100 transport ships."
"The enemy's pla.i of advance
Is the greatest sir.ee the begin

of the main fercj and in the furi
ousness of the enemy's fighting
morale," Kurihara's statement
said.
He said that Saipan in the Mar
ianas islands is 1,208 nautical
miles from Tokyo and 1,500 nau
tical miles from the Philippines.
. "Therefore, if the enemy suc
ceeds In building, a powerful air
base here, the influence on our
sea and air suprematy in the wes

great. If the enemy uses large
type bombers, the homeland of
Japan and the Philippines will be
exposed within the bombing
sphere of enemy planes.'

Japanese home radio as well as
abroad acknowledged the Saipan
operation as an "advance of the
enemy into our InirSr line." The
naval press chief said: '
"By mobilizing the entire
strength of the land, sea and air
forces in this area,' we must exert
our efforts for the destruction of
the enemy in the future. The bat.

difficult for the enemy and the
suffering of the enemy Is clearly
seen in the foreign and war re
ports from this area.
"Our officers and men are
fighting with Indescribable bril
liance. Each time we receive a
report of their achievements, we
feet our blood stirring with excitement."
