ATTACK RENEWED
Washington. March 17 (U.PJ
A fleet of "enemy carrier-borne
planes" are attacking southern
Kyushu and southern Shikoku,
in the Japanese home islands,
and an "enemy task force" has
been sighted in waters south of
Kyushu, enemy broadcasts said
tonight.
The broadcast, heard by the
FCC, said the attack began at S
a. m. Sunday (Japanese time).
The dispatch was recorded at
9:50 p. m. EWT which would be
10:50 Sunday Japanese time, in
dicating that the attack still was
continuing after more than five
hours.
The attack, not confirmed by
any allied source.
after a record load of 2,500 tons
of fire bombs cascaded into the
heart of Japan's chief port. From
nine to 12 miles of Kobe were
aflame, observers said, but "in
conclusive" official reports
claimed only two square miles
j destroyed until complete photo-
graphs can be obtained.
In Osaka 7.86 square miles
were left in ruins Wednesday.
Seventeen square miles in Tokyo
and two miles in Nagoya were
blackened, burned-out testimony
in thp rviwpr nf this R-2Q hnmhor
force. The official total of 28.86
square miles destroyed in the
four cities was expected to be re
vised upwards when details of
the Kobe strike are known.
The battle against Japan con
. tinued on the ground. American
troops in the Philippines drove
ahead on three Luzon fronts, on
the Zamboanga peninsula of
Mindanao and landed forces on
Basilan 24th of the islands to
be invaded.
Troops on Luzon pushed south
nn d north of Manila to wipe out
, the last Japanese. A general ad
vance was made on Zamboanga.
The two-months one-week old
Luzon campaign has cost the
enemy approximately 145,000
kmen, Gen. Douglas MacArthur
"said. A total of 137.000 Japanese
losses on other islands make a
total of 282.000 enemy casualties
in the past five months.
The liberation of Luzon has
taken 3.813 American lives, with
14,570 wounded and 196 miss
ing a total of 18.579.
In the central Pacific, at the
nearest American base to Japan,
' the battle of Iwo was over.
Mopping up operations were con
tinuing as casualty figures show
ed that approximately one of
every three Americans who set
foot on Iwo was killed or
wounded in the most costly bat
tle in marine corps history.
Two of Iwo's airfields were
Jn operation no and Pacific
fleet surface units moved north
of Japan to bombard Matsuwa is
land in the Kuriles, 940 miles
above Tokyo. But the price for
the growing base at Iwo was

MEAT SUPPLY OP
LAND, LEND-LEASE;
SLASHED BY WFA
Washington, March 17 (U.R)
The government tonight told a
public already hungry for beef
and pork that it would have to
get along with 12 per cent less
meat in the next three months.
Reasons: the worst meat fa
mine since the drought-and-dust
storm bright of 10 years ago; a
four per cent increase in army
and navy requirements; a six
per cent drop in the U. S. meat
supply from the first quarter of
the year.
Six government agencies are
rushing along as rapidly as possi
ble emergency measures to im
prove the supply and assure
equitable distribution. But, the
war food administration said
bluntly, there is no reason to be
lieve the civilian supply picture
will be any better in the third
quarter than it will be in the
April-May-June period.
Not until the fall livestock'
marketing season, the WFA said,
will there be any substantial
improvement in the picture, if
then.
Meanwhile, the shortage is so
serious that there will be a "sub
stantial" reduction in lend-lease
shipments of meat as well as in
supplies for U. S. civilians. Only
Russia and the United Kingdom
will receive any lend-lease meal
in the next three months.
A survey last week disclosed
that meat supplies in stores al
ready were at their lowest level
since the start of the war.
The 12 per cent cut is an over
all reduction. Civilians will get
more veal, lamb, and mutton in
the quarter starting on April
Fool's day. But they will get
enough less beef and pork, al
ready scarce, to offset the in
creased supplies of veal, lamb.
and mutton and still leave a 23
per cent cut.
Not even the government be
lieves the dwindling meat sup
plies can be evenly distributed
at first. All agencies concerned
are working on a plan for equi
trble geographical distribution
but "some time" may elapse be
fore the plan can prdouce re
suits, it was said.
Meanwhile, the Office of Price
Administration was authorized
to Issue new distribution regu
lations to slaughterers and to
make meat subsidy adjustments,
effective April 1, designed to
stimulate movement . of cattle
and hogs to market.

OREGON DEFEATS
TO
Webfeet Surge To 39-37
Victory In Last Half,
After Lagging
Eugene, Ore., March 17 (U.PJ
The University of Oregon
Webfeet battled their way to the
Northern Division Title in ' the
Pacific Coast Conference basket
ball race here Saturday night
with a 39 to 37 win over the
Cougars of Washington State in
the third and final game of their
post-season playoff.
Gathering fire as the game
progressed, the Oregon, team
surged to the victory with a typi
cal Webfoot rally. Shackled and
hounded by Vince Hanson, tall
Cougar- center, and his team
mates in the first half, the Web
feet left the battje scene on the
short end of a 21 to 15 score
and that margin loomed large to
everyone but the undiscouraged
Webfeet.
The six-point deficit was
shaved exactly in half in only
four minutes as the systematic
Oregon team gathered speed and
confidence. Contrary to their
efforts in the first half, they
didn t waste a shot in the sec
ond half and they made every
basket attempt count.
Midway of the third quarter,
the Oregon team surged ahead as
Del Smith tossed in a long one
from the side, and 6,000 fans
went wild as the home team went
into the lead by a 26 to 25 score.
Bob Hamilton, Oregon guard,
collected a free throw and the
Oregon players were on their
way. Another basket by Dick
Wilkins gave them a three-point
bulge, 29 to 26.
The Cougars fought back to tie
the score at 31-31. However,
Oregon went ahead on baskets
by Bartelt, Wilkins, Hamilton
put the game on ice for the new
champions.
The Webfeet will leave Sun
day night for Kansas City, Mo.,
where they are slated to play in
the western finals of, the NCAA
meet.
Tall Vlnce Hanson had an
other one of his big nights with
17 points added to his 26 scored
last night. For Oregon, Dick
Wilkins with 12 points and Jim
Bartelt with 10 points were high
point scorers and also the most
consistent players on the floor
Captain Bob Hamilton, with his
leadership and six points in the
scoring column, was a factor in
the success of the Oregon team.

(U.PJ Miraculous rescue of 31
seamen from the wrecked coastal
steamer was completed at 9:20
tonight when the last 13 of the

Coos Bay, Ore.; March 17
(U.R) A I. S. Coast Guard res
cue crew tonight reported no
signs of life aboard a small coast
al steamer which was aground
and battered on the Oregon
coast north of Coos Bay. . .
A raging gale which this af
ternoon reached a velocity of
nearly 100 miles an hour had
tempered some tonight and al
though there was little hope for
the lives of the crew of 30 men
the Coast Guardsmen continued
efforts to find and save the sea
men. Meanwhile, it was disclosed
that the ship belonged to the
Olympic Steamship Company of
San Francisco and that the skip
per of the vessel was a Seattle,
Wash., man. but names were
withheld by request of the utn
Naval District.
Coast Guardsmen who were
unable to put out rescue boats
because of the fierce gale, were
unsuccessful in attempts to
throw lines to the vessel. Each
time the lines missed or were
swept from the deck by the
heavy seas.
Visibility was still very poor
tonight and it was difficult to
tell the condition of the ship.
Crewmen had tossed nearly 1,-
000,000 board feet of lumber
overboard in an effort to lighten
the load.
The lumber and wreckage is
cluttering the Oregon beach in

The office of price administra

civilian tire quotas tonight and,
in addition, ordered old pur

The agency said that in April
the civilian passenger tire allo
cation will be only 1,000,000
tires, a cut of 37 Vi per cent from
the March quota" of 1,600,000.
This bad news came shortly
after War Production Chief J

one of the most critical pro

Under the reduced quotas,
only the most essential types of

be cancelled by April 1, the OPA
said, to eliminate the threat that
these certificates estimated to

Paris, Sunday, March-18 (U.PJ
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's 3d
army captured the major Rhine.
land city of Coblenz yesterday
while three of his tank divisions
were enveloping the rich Saaf
basin and approaching a Junct
ure with the U. S. 7th army, less
than 50 miles away.
Three 3d army tank divisions,
plus other . tank battalions at
tached to infantry, already were)
40 miles south of Coblenz In tha
swiftest power drive of the war.
They reached the Nahe river and
were threatening the 11-day
road and rail junction of Bad
Kreuznach, the transportation
key to the Saar basin.
Authoritative sources at Gen.
Omar N. Bradley's 12th army
group headquarters said the Ger
mans had waited -too long to ef
fect a successful withdrawal
from the Saar to the east bank
of the Rhine and would elect to
stand and fight with the rem
nants of their 1st and 7th armies
rather than attempt a last-minute
helter-skelter retreat..
But Allied airmen spotted
large scale withdrawals from
the closing Saar trap, and it
seemed evident that the Ger
mans were attempting to salvaga
what they could to fight another
day on the east bank of tha
Rhine.
They spotted many columns
of trucks and horse-drawn vehi
cles tieeing south and southeast
before Patton's armored col
umns, trying to reach the rail
roads running east to the Rhino

thence 'to safety across tha
Rhine.
Third army spokesmen said
the speed of the drive 33 miles
in less than 48 hours caught
the Germans flat-footed and pre
vented them offering -coherent
resistance.
The drives of the tank col
umns were cloaked In a security
blackout, but German dispatches
said massed tank formations of
the 4th armored division had
reached the area of Bab Kreuz
nach, major transit hub 40 miles
south of Boblenz and nine miles
south of the big bend of tha
Rhine at Bingen.
At Bab Kreuznach they were)
only 50 miles from a junction
with the 7th army's 63d division
at Ommensheim and 55 miles
from the 100th division at
Bitche. To the east and south
east it is 22 miles to Oppenheim
on the Rhine and 26 miles to tha
great Rhine center of Worms.
Late front dispatches disclosed
that the 10th and 11th armored
divisions were racing south
parallel with the 4th to trap
the remnants of two German
armies against the Rhine and be
