pondent E. G. Valens aboard
Halsey's flagship off Okinawa
said Halsey formally took over
command of the fleet at mid
night May 27 and had already
been in action against the Japa
nese since his return.
Naha Bombarded
"We can go anywhere now
from the north to the south
poles," Halsey told correspon

in southern Okinawa in the clos

Valens said.
Return of Halsey, one of the
most colorful officers in the.navy
and victor over the Japanese in
the battle of the Coral Sea, indi
cated that the Pacific war might
be about to enter a new phase.

At Big War Industries
Guam, June 2 W Tokyo said
200 American carrier planes bomb
ed and strafed Japanese suicide
plane bases on southern Kyushu
for two hours today.
The formation of Grumman
and Vought-Sikorsky bombers hit
targets in Kagoshima, Miyazaki
and Kuajianoto prefectures on
Kyushu, . southernmost of the
Japanese home islands, from 8 to
10 a.m., a Tokyo broadcast said.
Some planes also strafed trains,
the. broadcast said. It said
damage to Japanese Installations
was slight.
- Reconnaissance photographs
and reports from participating air
men indicated that Superfortres
ses burned out the heart of Osaka,
Japan's biggest war production
center, in yesterday's 3,200-ton
fire raid.
Smoke Covers Area
Dense smoke that swirled as
high as six miles still covered a
major portion of the target area.
But photographs taken while fire
bombs still were falling showed
waterfront and dock areas wrap
ped in flames.
St. Leon Goldfarb, a veteran of
26 missions, said he had never
seen so many fires In a single
raid.
'..''The heart of ' Osaka seemed
to be burning out," he said. "Our
bombardier had a difficult time
in finding a place to drop his
bombs because the city was so
covered with smoke and fires."
Capt. George Bertagoll of
Phoenix, Ariz., said he didn't
think the Japanese could stand
many more raids on the scale of
the Osaka one.
"I think we did a helluva good
Job," he said.
Results Are Good
A Washington communique re
ported "excellent results." Ten of
the 450 participating Superfort

said, most of them to anti-aircraft
fire.
1st Lt. James M. Pearson of
Manchester, Tenn., said Japanese
fighters tried a new weapon
against the B-29s eight or nine

$3,000 In Bad Checks
Issued Here By Woman
Bend police and state officers throughout Oregon today
were seeking a nattily dressed brunette, who in .five days
in this city issued approximately $3,000 in spurious checks,
obtained an expensive automobile, a fur coat and other ar
ticles of wearing apparel. And in additional to that, left
several merchants and realtors who had otherwise been in
high spirits, in a state of keen disappointment.
As state police here obtained a warrant for the arrest
of Carol June Adams, alias Ruth June Warren, described
variously as between 40 and
50 years of age, word came
from Portland that she left
a wave of bad paper and dis
illusionment there after de
parting from Bend.
According to state police, Mrs.
Adams, alias Warren arrived In
Bend on May 17. She left May
22.
Seeking to establish "undisput
ed credit" in a hurry, the wo
man first went to a local realty
office and dickered for two homes
"one for myself and the other
for my son." The "Lady Raffles"
represented herself as being from
New York, and displayed a check
book on the Corn Exchange Bank
and Trust Company of that city.
But the bank soon sent back
word that the sizeable checks
were worthless because she had
no account there.
Gets Introductions
Implying introduction from the
enthusiastic realtors, Mrs.
Adams, alias Warren went
to a leading furniture store for
"fixtures and furniture for my
new home." She gave a $580
check there on an $800 purchase,
and asked the dealer to hold the
check pending the transfer of
"my -New York- account" to a
Bend bank.
Although she had already ne
gotiated for two homes from the
realty agent, .the woman , then
went to a Georgia avenue, ad
dress and "bought" that home.
leaving two checks, one for $1,000
and another for $200. Again she
asked that the checks be held
until her "funds" came from the
east.
But the real victim of the wo
man's activities was a local ga
rage, which holds a bad check
for $9G6, and is minus a 1939
convertible Chrysler coupe. In
cidentally, state officers in noti
fying other police of the pos
session of a warrant for obtain

tenses, mentioned that the car

today that small nations have a

They have" suffered long In the

"What would all the sacrifices

Punishment Asked
The Pope called for the punish

said the "sudden,, tragic end" of
Adolf Hitler had ended the perse

"If the German rulers had In
mind the destruction of the Cath

decided otherwise.
"We trust the German people
will he able to rise again to a

He deplored the killing of
