FOR JAP ISLAND

showdown battle of southern
Okinawa and the Japanese Is
land bastion's capital city of
Naha appeared to be shaping up

nawa to a snail's pace. The Jap
anese were fighting hard from
well prepared positions per
haps the lines on which they
chose to undertake a stand a
little more than four miles north
of Naha.
Both American and Japanese
tanks were jockeying for posi
tions. A front dispatch reported
