An Advanced Command Post on Saipan, June 23 (U.R) Amer ican infantry and marine troops, supported by fighter planes from captured Aslito now Conroy airfield, today opened a pincers drive against steep Mount Tapot chau which dominates the entire island of Saipan, Veteran soldiers and marines doggedly crawled up the moun- tain slopes, pushing forward a few feet at a time, as they forced the enemy out of concealed bar rages by hiding in the many : ridges, ledges, and valleys in this rugged terrain. No troop movements or gun fire have been reported in Gara ! pan, capital city of the Japanese ' ' Marianas, for the past 48 hours. ' When Mount Tapotchau falls the doom of Garapan will be assured, probably within 48 hours. One of the chief objectives in the Mount Tapotchau drive is a huge block house hidden in a deep gulch near the mountain summit. This block house is be lieved to be Japanese military headquarters for the island. It is well protected by pillboxes and natural ridge rock defenses. Japanese casualties have not been determined but on the basis of my conversations with officers I believe at least 3,000 enemy soldiers have been killed within the southern one-third of Saipan which the Americans now hold except for small picket resis tance at Rafutan Point on the south side of Magicienne Bay. In areas where heavy fighting bas occurred few bodies have been found but in places of light action army officers have dis covered between 400 and 500 bodies, indicating that Japanese dead have been removed to the rear. The marines found two Jap anese trucks loaded with freshly killed Nipponese soldiers. Army authorities said the Japanese bury some of their dead in sealed caves and throw others into the sea. LISTED CASUALTY Washington, June 24 (U.R) The war department tonight an nounced the names of 547 U. S. soldiers wounded in action in the Asiatic, Central Pacific. European, Mediterranean and Southwest Pacific areas, includ ing, Mediterranean area: Cresse, Pfc. Edgar L. Rich ard L. Cresse, father, 215 Nut len, Ashland. Closing time for Classified ads 9 a. m.

AMERICAN HEAVY Allied Supreme Headquarters, London, June 24 (U.R) Four flights of American heavy bomb ers blastediFrance, Germany and the Balkans today, maintaining constant aerial assault on Euro pean rail targets, airfields and the Calais rocket coast and the Cherbourg peninsula in France. Three heavy bombers task forces sallied from Britain. The first pounded the airfields and rail bridges; the second struck in northwest Germany land the third hit nine robot bomb in stallations near Calais and switching stations near Boulogne. The assault on the robot bomb ramps, the tenth by the heavy weights of the 8th Air Force this week, followed an earlier raid by Havocs and Thunderbolt dive bombers. The Thunderbolts, pro viding top cover for the bombers, followed the Havocs' bombs down in sieep dives un-loosening loads of h ivy demolition bombs. A third assault on the flying bomb installations was made by a daylight flight of British Land casters and Halifaxes escorted by fighters. The day's bomber operations opened with an attack on Cher bourg's crumbling defenses by Marauders, which roared out at daylight to pitch 250 tons of bombs on four groups of heavy German guns delaying the final lunge of ground troops into the prize port.
