PACE TWO
JAPS TRAPPED
BEHIND PORT
(Cpntlnued From Page One)
aula like a' masterful piece of
satanic art," wrote John R. Henry,-
representing the combined
allied press, from the shattered
town of Agat on the south beach
head. He hinted that a Yank
drive out on the peninsula was
impending. , -
Dopking said all Japs have
been wiped out at the beach
heads; the enemy hasn t had a
plane over the sea since July 8:
and the Nips are abandoning
much food and ammunition.
Capital Endangered
While one arm of the north
beachhead force forked down
behind Port Apra, another reach
ed northeast to threaten Guam's
capital city of Agana. Yanks
slowly fought their way up dom
inating hills where, Henry said,
Japs in caves "had to be mined
out like hard coal."
More than 100 miles north of
Guam at invaded Tinian, spot
aerial bombings - and warship
bombardments of rail and high
way "junctions split the island's
Nipponese garrison into north
and south forces.
Mow' 'em Down
Marine conquerors of nearby
Saipan, bidding for complete sei
zure of partly occupied 4500-foot
Ushi- airfield on the northwest
tip of Tinian, mowed down the
tank-led Japs.
From a flagship off Tinian,
Richard W. Johnston, represent
ing.. the combined allied press,
reported the airfield defenders
came out on the first night of
the invasion screaming and wav
ing Samurai swords in the sui
cidal manner usually reserved
for the closing stages.
No Reinforcements
Re interpreted this as meaning
those' Japanese know they can
get ho reinforcements from the
southern force and are cracking
under a "war neurosis induced
by more than six weeks of artillery,-naval
and aerial bombard
Vrients." In official communique reports
otflhe twin Marianas operations,
Adnr. Chester W. Nimitz said
that . 2400 Japanese have been
killed on Guam through July 24
fifth day of that invasion at a
cost of 443 American dead, 2366
wounded and 209 missine. -
Od Tinian through July 24
second day of that invasion
1324. Japanese dead have been
counted against American casual
ties of 15 dead and 225 wounded.

Douglas MacArthur reported to
day that a Liberator has destroy-
a Japanese coastal vessel in
me ivioiucca sea, zuo miles from
the. southern Philippines. It was
the second such report in three

He also reported that a trapped.-Japanese
