IWOJIMA Beachhead to Tokyo The 20,000 Japs on fwo Jlma knew It was coming. For 72 straight days they quaked under the ferocious shelling of the great American Navy task force offshore. For 72 slroighl days they had somehow survived the repeated bombings of wide-winged U. S. planes. They knew it was coming and prepared for it, with row upon row of pill boxes and machine gun nests, dotting the length and breadth of Iwo's 8 square miles of sultry volcanic ash. It came. Dawn broke clear on the morn ing of February 10, 1945, as more than 800 landing craft left Admiral Richard Turner's fleet and headed for the forbidding shores. The Japs waited, silent in their caves, while 40,000 leathernecks of the 4th and 5th Mar ine Divisions drew up on the beaches. Then they opened up savagely, mowing down wave after wave of courageous Americans swarming upward from the boats. And still the Marines came on, reinforced by the 3rd Division. Motoyama Air Field No. 1 was the Imme diate objective. To this strip the Murines, with their tanks and flame throwers, rapidly advanced, knocking out pillboxes on' the way, riding hard over the charred bodies of dead Japs, and even dead comrades. Mo toyama Was taken, and made ready for our planes. Is still not Picnic Is Planned By Rail Auxiliary . Fourteen members of the grand International auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi neers met yesterday at the home of Mrs. W. R. Parker for a social afternoon. A game was played and the prize was awarded to Mrs. Ber tha Conklin. Mrs. Edward Stroiff also was awurded a prize. Re freshments were served. Plans were compluted for the annual picnic, to be held July 31 at Riverside park. The resistance to n shlp on the surface Is mostly caused by the waves thrown up during its pass age through the water.

Marine forces in the Mt. Suribachi area to the south were being whittled down constantly by Japs nested deep in the lava-mude gullies of the extinct 500 foot volcano. Steadily the leathernecks inched up its hardened sides, under the most adverse fighting conditions. They slept, when they could, in fonholes fouled by volcanic vapors and the stench of dead Jups. They cooked their meals, when there was time, in tins held over steaming ground fissures. The going was tough, even for leiithernecks, but after duys of fighting and hardship, Suribuchi, too, wus theirs. And the dramatic radiophoto of Murines raising Old Glory on its craggy, lunar peak will live forever in our history us a high point in valor. The rcmulnder of the Iwo campaign wus devoted to "mopping up" hiking the sec ond air strip, wiping clean the lust pockets of resistance. On March 17, 11)45, the buttle wus officially over, with our dead number ing over the 4,000 mark, us enmpured to more thun five times that many Jups. This is how it was, on Iwo Jima. Tragic, brutal, unbelievably heroic is the story, un immortal tribute to the fighting, dying Mur ines who, with their life's blood, made secure this great little stopping stone to Tokyo just 705 miles uway.
