S. fleet not only overpowered but out .maneuvered the Japanese fleet defeated off the Philippines.) By WILLIAM H. WORDEN, Representing the Combined American Press. ABOARD THE FLAGSHIP, TJ. S. FIFTH FLEET, June 2S (Delayed) (AP via naval radio) This huge force today complet ed the rout of the Japanese grand fleet from waters east of the Philippine islands without firing a salvo from Its lormlaaole bat tleline or losing a ship. Japanese losses in the two phased plane-versus-fleet battle included at least 358 planes downd in an attack on our fleet off Guam and possibly ona carrier blown up and another set afire badly when our planes rained bombs and torpedoes on the en emy. (Adm. Nimltz announced Jap plane losses were at least 368 and that 14 enemy ships were sunk or damagd. Worden's story was the first disclosure, however, that Guam was the site of the Sunday air battle in which 353 enemy planes were downed. Guam is the southernmost and largest of the Marianas Islands, which, Include Saipan.) : Our losses in the second phase --on Monday were moderate and a majority of downed airmen were rescued despite the hazar dous return to carriers for night landings at sea. It was believed today the Japanese fleet has fled behind the Philippines and that the threat of ship or sea-based plane action against our landing forces at Saipan has ended. Onset Turned Into Rout The first phase occurred June 19 when planes and anti-aircraft guns of Adm. Raymond Spru ances's fleet, within sight' of Guam, turned the Jap attack into one of the war's greatest aerial disasters for the axis. Enemy planes, attacking from the west in long range flights from car riers, struck the American fleet with obvious intention of going on to Guam to refuel. Spruance, however, held the fleet near Guam all day and sent waves of bombers over Guam and Rota, and prevented enemy planes from landing on those islands. He made it virtually certain no planes survived an aerial battle. which ranged over hundreds of i miles. of seau The .Jap. pianos i which escaped our fighters and anti-aircraft almost certainly were lost attempting to return to their carriers, which were out of fuel range.; ! " ' -. (Enemy personnel losses were almost 100 per cent, since the battles took place in an area con trolled by Spruance's fleet and the Japanese could make no at tempt at rescuing their pilots. Naturally it was impossible to see much of the first phase which was a series of encounters from 10 a. m., until dark, but part of the battle did range within sight of the flagship. The first action was the take-off of hundreds of American planes as the Japs were reported ap proaching. In a few minutes puffs of anti-aircraft fire appear, ed over battleships on the hori zon. The distant ships seemed wreathed in fire as multiple bat teries threw up an unbelievable wall of steel. DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS i In Moses prayer in the 90th Psalm, he expressed himself In the following words: "We spend our years as a tale that is told." (Goodspeed.) Trans lation reads: "Our years are like a cobweb wip d away." The two versions Mbove ex press a great truth In different words. Life is like a tale told, a little at a time. Childhood, youth, manhood, age, then the end. But does life come to an end like a tale with nothing left but the memory of it, as when a cobweb is wiped away? Thank God. that is not all of life. The end comes it Is true, but the real story of a life can never be told In years, not by the calendar. Life is more than that. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. The beauty of the Lord comes not by adding up our calendar years, but by getting an un derstanding heart, by draw ing near to God and being so filled with His spirit that we may be given over entirely to His will. If we will be Christian in spirit, we must make it so by deliberate choice and earnest application to the things of God. Then we can say with Moses, "And let .the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us," and establish thou the work of our hands. "Take my life and let it be Consecrated Lord to Thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Amen. Rural Fire Units Association Topic A great deal of discussion at the annual convention of the As sociation of Oregon Fire Chiefs .in Portland early tills week cen tered around organization of ru ral fire protection districts, Glenn H. Taylor, Roseburg fire chief, reported here today, following his return from the state meet ing. - Chief Taylor reports he also discussed the matter of protec tion of "fringe" residential areas and was informed that it is ex pected of these districts that they initiate proceedings for creation of fire protection districts, but that fire departments should give any desired assistance in the way of information and organization efforts. ' . ' . Numerous residential areas adjacent to cities in Oregon, it was reported, are now engaged In creation of districts which will either set up their own ire pro tection systems or contract pro tection by city departments. .! The meeting of the association of fire chiefs, Taylor stated, was well attended and resulted in severa) schools demonstrating nnui mothnris ftf fir A fiuhtlnff And 'latest developments In equipment.

Beavers Get Back To Second Place (By the Associated Press) The Portland Beavers were back in second place In the close Coast league pennant standings today as the result of a 6 to 0 bc-ating handed the Oakland Acorns last night. The San Francisco Seals, held on to first place, having wallop ed the San Diego Padres out of the runer-up berth. The Beavers jolted the Acorns with a six-run ninth inning after the two squads had battled with out scoring for the previous eight cantos. Hesler pitched a three hitter ior Portland. The Seals collected 15 hits off three Padre pitchers for a 10 to 4 victory, tying the series at one each. The loss left San Diego one percentage point behind Portland. Seattle and Los Angeles split a doubleheader, leaving both tied for fourth spot with Hollywood, which lost to Sacramento. Los Angeles took the opener with Seattle, 5 to 3, but dropped the nightcap, t to 3, on Libke's two-run homer with two out in the seventh. At Sacramento the Solons were behind 5 to 6 when Catcher Steiner poled out a triple with the bases loaded in the seventh to give his team its 8 to 6 win over Hollywood. Team' Standings: ,.

A year ago the Round Table es tablished Mother-in-law day on June 30 and warned that it in tended to make it an annual ob servance. The song was No. 2 of this one two punch. Entitled "My Mother-fii-Law," the authorship is credited to local musician "Dutch" Groshof f, Bing Crosby and W. C. Fields al though this may be news to the latter pair. ' f ' ' . The picture of the front of the masterpiece shows Esmerelda, the A. R: T. mascot horse, offer ing a bouquet to a mother-inJaw capped toy a halo and armed witji a rolling pin. The song (the rest of the words are similar to those .quoted above) carries no sale price but will be given free, Round Table officials said, to persons purchas ing $50 war bonds. (Note for Mr.' Morgenthau: They don't have to take it.). i ON POULTRY FRONT I Reports on hatchery opera tions -offer the following .signs that producers realize that the period of need for poultry ex pansion has passed: chicks hatch ed in May were 29 per cent less than last year, 221,787,000 as com pared' with 312,468,000; eggs set during May were 49 per cent less' than last year 215,238,000 as compared with 422,049,000: chicks booked were 28 per cent less on June 1 than last year; and many hatcheries that operated through June last year closed for the season during early May.
