EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. Oct. 9. 1944 f I E EXPERTSAGREED Operations In Philippines Provide Pattern For At tacks Against Foes. Washington, Oct. S U.R Military experts were convinced today that the Japanese home land Is vulnerable to American carrier-based air attack. There had been soma question CLERK PREPARES POLL SUPPLIES : 1 VOTE Preliminary preparations for the general election November 7, are now underway by the county clerk's office. Precinct supplies such as pencils, ink, pens, and other paraphanalia have been assembled and placed In ballot boxes. The number of ballots to be given each precinct will not be known, until a count Is made of the registered voters, to be made after the closing of the books next Saturday final day for cause the enemy constitute land' masses which permit great concentration as well as dispersal of defensive air strength. Pattern Given But Admiral William F. Hal sey's devastating aerial strikes against enemy bases and ship ping in the Philippines last month have dispelled that doubt. Some believe that Halsey's op erations provide the pattern for the long awaited American carrier-based air blows against Ja pan proper. In their bold thrusts at the Philippines, American carrier forces for the first time in this war came up against heavily de fended enemy-held land masses comparable to the Japanese home islands. And they inflicted tremendous damage on the en emy at little cost to themselves. Although the Philippines air blows provide a pattern for the anticipated assault on the enemy home land, the likelihood is that the targets will be of a different nature. These are expected to be Japan's highly concentrated war industries which already have been hit by China-based B-29 Superfortresses, generally, have carried out high level horizontal attacks. Accuracy Needed The navy filers, by the very nature of their aircraft, will have to engage in pinpoint bomb ing when they visit Japan, a more accurate type of attack. The Japanese had available comparatively strong aerial forces In tiie Philippines and they had advantage of dispersal over a wide area. Yet they were able to accomplish little in the way of effective defense. Some of Halsey's ships sailed within sight of land in an outright chal lenge to Japan's ground based air power. There are many reasons for this. First, the navy demonstrat ed that it could bring air power In great strength right up to the enemy. Another factor was the aggressive fighting spirit of the currier fliers. Still another was eooui mis do- ' --' s home islands I roistering. There will be a MILLION TONS OF Half of Total Used In Europe Since D-Day Second Million Tons Due Faster. ballot for each voter, registered in a precinct. There was brisk registration again today and a rush is ex pected next Friday and Satur day. To accommodate belated voters, the county clerk's office which generally closes Saturday at noon, will be kept open that afternoon, in in the evening until eight o'clock. County Clerk George R. Car ter predicts the registered vote will bo higher than in the May primary, and he makes an off hand guess that It will be from 15,000 to 17,000. Ballots for be tween 1200 and 1500 residents In the armed services have in creased the total. Most of the soldier ballot applications have been received. Only five were received this morning from the secretary of state. Washington, Oct. S -4U.R) The American air forces have dropped 1,000,000 tons of bombs on the enemy since Pearl Har bor, and almost half that total has been dropped since D-day In Europe last June 6, Gen. H. H. Arnold, commander of the AAF, revealed today. Bombs composing the mil lionth ton fell on the Ammoniak oil refinery .at Merseberg-Leuna, close to the geographic center of Germany last Thursday Arnold said. This synthetic oil plant at one time had a capacity of about 10 per cent of Germany's entire synthetic production. Arnold revealed that the air forces had dropped 432,000 tons of bombs since D-day, Next Million Sooner Arnold promised that the sec ond million tons of bombs would Tn the United States 17,500 losses have occurred since Pearl HarDor, bringing the overall plane losses to approximately 42,000. During this time, he said, 163,147 pilots (Including 5,122 glider pilots), 31,293 bom bardiers, and 31.906 navigators have been trained and gradu- ated. At one time, pilots were being trained at the rate of 93, 000 per year, Arnold said. AUTO PARADE TO PRECEDE RALLY 7 ISSUED BY LOCAL The Democratic rally will be gin with an automobile parade Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Start ing at the county courthouse, the procession will move west on Main street to Riverside avenue. From there the parade will con tinue north on Riverside to Sixth street, then west to Grape and will disband at the Knights of Pythias hall where a political rally is scheduled. Following the parade a num ber of Democratic speakers will be heard including Henry Ai ken, state democratic committee chairman; Edgar W. Smith, democratic candidate for U. S. seantor, and Col.

Burglars Snatch Counterfeit Bills to protect themselves while their striking power was absent on the mission of destruction, Jap Filers Inferior Another possible explanation Is tiiat the Japanese are relying on their army air force to defend the Philippines. American ex perts believe that Japanese army airmen are inferior to the Japa nese navy fliers. The U. S. navy men also feel that Japan's first string airmen were lost In the battle of Midway and that most of the fliers who have appeared since that time have been rela tively inferior. In seven days of attack, Hal sey's third fleet accounted for 1,014 enemy planes in the Philip pines. It sank 160 Japaneso ships and probably sank or damaged at least 200 others. money. GODOY RETURNING FOR ANOTHER TITLE CRACK Los Angeles, Oct. 3 (UP.) Arturo Godoy, Chilean boxing champion who went 15 rounds with Joe Louis in 1940, will re turn to this country "within the next few weeks" to take another crack at the title, Al Weill, Go doy's manager, said today. "I si'nt Godoy money for a plane flight and expect him to leave as soon as he can get a passport," Weill said.

"Dropping 1.000,000 tons means that 5 000,000 Individual bombs have plummeted down on German and Japanese targets," Arnold said. "In recent months the rate was 4.400 tons per day or three tons each minute around the clock. This shows what Germany and Japan are now up against in con trast to the first year of war for the United States. 1942. when the rate was 28 tons per day." He said army planes have flown 1 350.000 sorties since Dec. 7. 1941, and 71 per cent, or 958.000, of these sorties took nlnre In the first nine months of 1944. as comnared with 365,000 In 1943 and 27,000 in 1942. Where Hurt Most "The million tons of bomhs have been used where thev1 would hurt the enemy most," Arnold said. "Approximately 175,000 tons, concentrated on aircraft factories and air fields destroyed the effectiveness of his ((he enemy's) air power. An other 140,000 tons have been dropped on oil plants, ball bear ing works, and other industrial targets. The remainder have been used against shipping, submar ine works, many types of mili tary Installations, transporta tion lacinties. and in direct sup port of ground troops. Arnold also revealed that five per cent, or 50,000 tons, of the urst 1,000,000 tons of bombs were Incendiaries, The army air force has Town 13.900.000 hours, consumed more than 2.000,000,000 gallons of 100 cctane gasoline overseas, and has used 2J8,000,000 rounds of am munition to destroy more than 27.000 enemy planes, probably destroy 6.000 more, and damage an additional 10,000, he report ed. 48.000 Planes Used To do this Job, Arnold said, tho AAF has sent aboard ap proximately 48,000 combat and transport planes.
