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

There was brisk registration
again today and a rush is ex

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.

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,

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,

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.

sey's third fleet accounted for

This shows what Germany and
Japan are now up against in con

have been used where thev1

Arnold said. "Approximately
