Jap Suicide Bases
(Continued from Page 1
Japanese wcie wounded in the
campaign, and those who sur
vived their wounds wero put to
death by their comrades or forced
to commit suicide.
It was a different story on
Okinawa today, where the Jap
anese were surrendering by the
thousands for the first lime in
the war. It was estimated the
total number of prisoners on the
island might reach 7,000 when
they're all counted.
A few fanatics, including pos
sibly the commanding general of
the defeated garrison, slill hi Id
out in caves on the southern tip
of Okinawa.
The loss of two American light
r.aval units to enemy suicide
planes off Okinawa was an
nounced. Three others were I
damaged. That brought to 10
the number of American naval
units sunk and to 52 those dam
aged in the Okinawa fighting.

about attempting to float mines

The coastguard cautionod all
Alaska mariners, and small boat

unidentified, floating metallic
object.
"It will be very dangerous to

New Government
Of Poles to Get
British Approval
LONDON, June 23 (UP) The
foreign office announced today
that Britain will recognize the
new Polish unity government as
soon as it is constituted form
ally and pledged to "free and un
fettered elections."
A foreign office spokesman
said the Moscow agreement to
reorganize the Polish government
on a broader basis in keeping
with the Yalta pact was "wel
come and satisfactory."
The spokesman indicated that
United States reaction tallied
with that of Britain a "very
satisfactory solution" of the prob
lem, with recognition by both of
the western members of the big
three to follow establishment of
the government in Warsaw and
its commitment to unfettered
elections In Poland.
Moscow announced earlv todav
that a Polish unity conference
had ended successfully. The
makeup of the broadened gov
ernment including Polish ele
ments outside the country will be
reported within a few days, an

US Fishing Rights
On Alaska Coast
To Be Protected
SEATTLE, June 23 (UP) To
protect American deep-sea fish
ing rights off the Alaska, coast,
the defense plants corporation
has loaned $2,000,000' to finance
exploratory fishing from an 8,800
ton ship provided by the federal
government, Sen. Warren G.
Magnusson, D., Wash., said today,
Another purpose of the expedi
tion to waters over the continent
al shelf, Magnuson said, is to seek
new sources of food fish.
Magnusson said a newly-formed
company headed by Nicholas
Bez, president of the Intcrcoastal
and Todd packing companies, is
in charge of the expedition. Bez
recently was named a member of
the slates advisory commission
on progress and industry.
Presence of the floating can
ncry along the shelf, Magnusson
said, would legally establish
American rights to the fishing
grounds, "making it possible for
President Truman to later extend
the three-mile limit to the edge
of Hie shelf and prohibit fishing
by othr nations.
He said the president Thursday
night indicated that territorial
limits might be extended by pio
clamation for protection of Amer
ican fishing industries.

Grew Says Nation
Must Not Hoard
Military Power
WASHINGTON, June 23 (UP)
Acting Secretary of State Jo
seph C. Grew said today that
America has become the strong
est economic and military power
on earth and will use its power
"in the service of law and justice
and human freedom."
The future role of the United
States, he told the first gradu
ating class of the foreign service
educational council's school of
advanced international studies, Is
one of "service and leadership
the only role that befits a lead
ing player on a world stage."
. He said the peace might fall
if the U. S. were to hoard its
power "like money in an old
sock."
"Never again can we afford to
have domestic depressions which
cause untold misery at home and
are felt around the world." ,
Grew said the country's past
record has made American eco
nomic povt "distrusted) arid
even feared abroad." ,
America must dispel those
fears "not by statements of good
intentions but by concrete ex
amples of cooperation," he con
tended. Interest in Domestic

NEW YORK, June 23 (UP) -
Trading on the stock market to
day was around the most active
Saturday pace slneoi 5e'mber 10, .
1944, and brought the week's
total to a" new high since the
week ended January 15, last.
Commonwealth St Southern
which had long strides of sales
on blocks running to 31.200
shares was the outstanding lead
er in turnover. It made up about
one-quarter of all the business
done on the market. The issue
made a new high and other utili
ties firmed so that the average
was carried to a new top since
March U, 1937.
The general list displayed a
firm tone, however, the rail ov
erage sagged, largely because ot
a 2-point decline in the high
priced Norfolk & Western.
A spurt in some of the low
priced automobile shares was a
feature, Oils held firm. Coppers
eased. Steels held steady to firm.
