U. S. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD
QUARTERS, Guam, Saturday,
Feb. 24-(Py-Th9 raging battle for
Iwo swayed slowly in favor of
three United States marine divi
sions Friday as they occupied one
end of an airfield in the island's
center and strewed the volcanic
slopes of Mt. Suribachi on the
south tip with Japanese dead.
It still was a slugging match,
with the leathernecks' requiring
more than three days to cover
700 yards up sloping ground to
the south tip of the two-runway
fighter field.
The Japanese, constantly blast
ed by the guns of U. IT. Fifth fleet
and dived on by carrier planes,
fought back from concrete pill
boxes.
Veterans Enter Struggle
The first devildogs to get to the
fighter field were elements of the
U. S. Third marine division un
der MaJ. Gen.! Graves B. Erskine,
veterans of he Solomons and
Guam campaigns, who entered the
fiery struggle Wednesday when
the Fourth and Fifth divisions had
been halted in )their push north.
The communique disclosed that
the three divisions are fighting
side by side ina coordinated drive
on the fighter; field. The Third is
in the center,!
American gunnery experts have
confirmed the Japanese are using
a new weapon never encountered
before in thei Pacific 1000-pound
rocket mortars,
Lawacbing Platforms Used
The shell has, a nose fuse and a
rocket motor.. Launching plat
forms probably are used by the
enemy. ij
Today's communique j made no
further addition - of casualty fig
ures which up to Wednesday night
had totaled 5372.
In the drive toward the only
other usable airfield still in en
emy hands, the; Fourth marine di
vision on the right flank edged
forward 300 yards.
In the centerj of the advancing
line, other elements succeeded in
occupying the south end of the
airfield which ih American hands,
would base fighters within fying
range of Tokyoj 750 miles to the
north.
1939 Japanese Die
On Mt. Suribachi, on the south
tip of Iwo, where marines raised
the United States flag Friday
morning, a total of 717 enemy dead
has been added: to a previously
announced figure of 1,222 Nip
ponese dead on the island's eight
square miles.
The guns of the warships, which
began unlimbering on Iwo three
days prior to Monday's landings,
still thundered in support of the
attacking Devildogs. -
Carrier-based planes, including
a new type of Hellcat divebomber,
also aided the slow drive.

War to Gain
Sat at S.F.
By Frank O'Brien, j
ANKARA, Feb. 23-iP)-rTurkey
declared war on Germany and
Japan tonight in order to win a
seat at the forthcoming world se
curity conference at San Francisco
and ended a 5 li -year-old policy
that had veered between neutral-
iiy ana non-oeuigerancy. 41
Foreign Minister Hasan Saka
asked for the declaration in an ad
dress to a specially-convened ses
sion of the assembly. Prime Min-1
iAter Sukru Saracoglu closed the
debate with 4 supporting speech,
and the assembly voted ' unani
mously for war against the Axis.
Saka's proposal to the assebly
followed the presentation on Feb.
20 of a memorandum from the
British ambassador stating that it
was decided by the "big three" at
the Crimea conference that only
nations at war with the Axis pow
ers before March 1 -would 1 be in
vited to the San Francisco confer
ence! - 1 s
Other Nations Warned
The foreign minister said that
other "associated nations'! were
told similarly . that they, would
have to declare war on the axis
to qualify for San Francisco, nam
ing them as Egypt, Iceland, Chile,
Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay
and Venezuela. l ,
Saka's speech and others left
no doubt that Turkey's declara
tion of war was a direct out
growth of her desire to partici
pate 'in the San Francisco confer
ences as a full-fledged member of
the United Nations. Premier Sara
cogul said flatly that "we want
to take our place officially
amongst the United Nations."
Shortly before he spoke ; to ask
for the war: vote, Saka , signed
with U. S. Ambassador Laurence
A. Steinhardt a formal lend-lease
agreement which had been under
negotiation for several months.
Lend-Lease Agreed Upon
: The lend-lease signature on the
same day that Turkey went to
war .was a coincidence, but Tur
key's shipments may now be aug
mented if Turkey proceeds to pos
itive military action. v
I What the military consequences
of Turkey's declaration might be
was not clear. Among the most
discussed possibilities is the sug
gestion that Turkey may partici
pate fin a campaign to clean up
the ! Aegean I islands, on which
there are German and Italian
troops. :

breaches in the thick outer wall

barrage; engaged Manila's last
Japanese defense garrison amid a
tragic scene of civilian suffering:
The 20-foot-thick northeast wall
of the.Intramuros (Walled City)
was pierced in the most concen

The 3rd battalion of the 129th
infantry regiment then dashed
from the protection of the general
post office, crossed a' wide boule
vard and an old golf course which
was once a moat, and entered the
shell-wrecked medieval citadel
It had become a place of horror
for thousands of civilians held
within the walls by the Japanese.

Simultaneously, under a heavy
smoke screen, the second, battal
ion of the 145th regiment swept
across the Pasig river in assault
boats and vaulted ashore near the

and leaped through another

Men Lauded
For Nasty Job
SEATTLE. Feb. 23-P-The en
tire 1: 104th (Timberwolf ) infantry
division, organized in Oregon,
largely from Pacific northwest
draftees, has been commended for
"magnificent work" from the com
manding general of their army
corps, it was disclosed here today.
The information was contained
in a letter received by John T.
Sullivan, whose son Daniel is a sol
dier in the Timberwolves.
The letter enclosed a copy of a
letter written by Maj. Gen. J.
Law ton Collins, commanding gen
eral; of the VII corps to Maj. Gen.
Terry Allen, commander of the
Timberwolf division.
Thctnlsslcm of seizing the great
Industrial 1 area Eschweiler-Weis-weiler-Stolberg,
which was assign
ed to the 104thivision, was a dif
ficult and nasty task," General
Collins wrote. "The speed with
which this was accomplished is a
tribute to the leadership, dash and
sound training of the division.
"The second phase involving the
crossing of the Inde river and the
advance to the Roer was even
more difficult but with character
istic; skill and dash, in a series of
brilliant night attacks, the 104th
division forced a crossing and
cleared its entire sector.
"Ij regard the operation one of
the finest single pieces of work
accomplished by any unit of the
VII j corps since D-day. During
the entire time the 104th divi
sion! was under my command, I
and my staff were tremendously
impressed with the cooperative
spirit and exceptional fighting
ability of the officers and men."
General Allen in presenting
each; man of the division with a
copy! of the letter "said: "There
willjbe other rivers to cross and
more objectives to take before fin
al victory . . . nothing in hell must
stop 1 the Timberwolves." ,

PORTLAND, Feb. 23 (ff) The

flown direct to marine casualties
on Iwo Jima.
The 12th naval district today
appealed for 180 pints of the uni
versal type blood, promising it
would be In Iwo Jima in 48 hours.
A recent bequest In the will of
the late Alfred L. Seaquist, Port
land, will amount to about $200,
000, which will go into the uni
versity's endowment. Several col
leges will participate in a trust set
up by the Will of the late Thomas
Roberts, long prominent Portland
merchant, and Willamette's share
will amount to approximately
$40,000, which thus becomes a
type of endowment.
Trustees approved of advance
ment of Maurice Brennen from
instructor to assistant professor
of instrumental music; Dr. Robert
E. Lantz from assistant to asso
ciate professor of education; Dr.
