Doubtless many more enemy
soldiers were killed but the
Americans wcr unable to find
their bodies because of the Jap
anese policy of removing and
hiding the dead.
In addition to the dead, the
Japanese suffered heavily from
constant shelling and the
wounded total must ba very
high.
Tighten Hold
While American ground
trooDS slowly tightened their
stranglehold on the Island, the
Japanese gathered their scatter
ed air strength in this area and
staged a number of harassing
night raids on American post
Hons and shipping off Saipan
The Japanese made nine sep
arate raids last night but drop
ped few bombs and hit nothing
of value. At least one plane was
snot down.
Infantry Fight
With the Japanese fleet out

mond Spruance's force sent it
fleeing back to the Philippines
10 duys ago and Japanese air
strength reduced to a level of
mere nuisance here, the main
events In this part of the Paci

With 60 per cent of the Island
under their control, marines and
infantrymen have had a chance
to examine the amazing de

tne now-discredited Maglnot
line, much of it underground.
Use Cavas
The Japanese used natural
caves in limestone rock to hide
their weapons and ammunition.
some of the caves are hun
dreds of feet deep with rear
exits. Marines who seized one
hill overlooking southern Gara

route the Japanese in one cave
