FLEET
AFTER YEAR-LONG
J
By Russell Annabsl
United Press Correspondent
An Aleutian Base (U.R) In
the wardrooms and gunrooms ol
Vice Adm. Frank Jack Fletch
er's North Pacific force recently
veterans of the North Pacific
t h eater were congratulating
themselves on having completed
a year of surface operations
against Japanese-held Kurllo
Islands without losing a man or
receiving damage to a ship.
Since February, 1044, the task
forces of this fleet have ranged
the long Kurile chain from Para
mushiro south to Matsuwa
shooting up garrisons and air
strips and maintaining a virtual
blockade of the enemy's sea
lanes, yet the Japanese bombers
and the protecting warships and
coast defense guns have yet to
score so much as a near-miss on
our ships,
"Those slant-eyes must feel
pretty chicken about all this," a
warrant officer from San Fran
Cisco told me one clear evening
as were were steaming away
from a shell-rocked garrison on
Matsuwa. "We have slammed
around 25.000 high capacity
shells Into their huts and hang
ars and all they've been able to
do Is sit there and take it. I'll bet
they go around with their fin
gers crossed all day long, wait
tng for a shell io drop in their
laps."
Rear Adm. John L. McCrea
Washington, D. C, task force
commander in the latest Kurile
operations, has conducted his
raids against the islands so
craftily that the men in his ship
have profound respect for his
ludgment. During a recent strike
s group of warrant officers were
speculating as to how close the
admiral planned to go in. The
strike was against a garrison be
lieved to be protected by several
heavy coast defense guns, and
the warrant officers were won
derlng whether the admiral was
going in within range of the
battery.
"It's nothing to worry about,"
said one of the men. "If the Old
Man wanted to, he could go in
there and tie up at the dock, and
get away with it. The Japs have
been shooting at us for a year
and they haven't hit anything
yet, have they?"

Means Collapse,
Tokyo Paper Says
Bv United Press
The Tokyo newspaper Yoml
url Hochl, in a remarkably frank
editorial on the significance ot
the Okinawa Invasion, warned
the Japanese people Monday
that the loss of that key bastion
will mean that "there can be no
hope of turning the course of the
war."
The editorial, as quoted by
Tokyo radio and recorded by
United Press at San Francisco
said the "entire strategy of the
Pacific" was based on the battle
of Okinawa.
"The loss of Okinawa will
mean the collapse of the van
guards of Japan proper," the
newspaper said.

The powerful steam locomotives which
pull Great Northern's Empire Builder
develop enormous thirsts. Nearlv 244.000
gallons of water are consumed by the
engines pulling a 14-car passenger train
from Chicago to Seattle.
They're fussy about "drinking'' water,
too! Every gallon must be pure, for al
kalies and other injurious compounds clog
boiler tubes and decrease locomotive
efficiency.
Providing pure "drinking" water for its
large fleet of steam power is costly to Great
Northern. But, the cost is returned in the
consistently smooth performance of the
engines in Empire Builder service.
