MotoyamB, just beyond the cap
tured central airfield, in a sain
of several hundred yards yester
day. They reached a third airfield,
Motoyamh No. 3 which was un
der construction when the Amer
icans landed February 19. .
Support Drive
The marines had artillery,
naval gun and close air support
as they drove ahead more than
500 yards all along 'the two-mile
battle line against the toughest,
cleverest defenses encountered
anywhere in the Pacific.
Associated Press Correspond
ent Jim Lindsley called the ter
rain "hell's principal suburb."
Problem Solved
An Important supply problem
was licked yesterday as U. S.
transport planes flew in low and
dropped supplies on the captured
southern bomber field, Moto
yama No. 1. Red and green
parachutes landed special parts
and medical supplies flown from
the Marianas in response to a
hurry-up call. Several days
would have been required to
bring supplies 700 miles by ship.
The third division's push pene
trated the center of the main
enemy line of resistance. From
there northward Japanese
strength can be expected to
weaken.
Maj. Gen. Keller E. Rockey's
fifth division advanced up the
west shore, paced by tanks, after
being slowed momentarily on
Tuesday. Maj. Gen. Clifton B.
Cates' fourth marines are on the

Husbands Seek More
Divorces In County
Times have ' changed since
mother was a girl.
It used to be a rare occasion
when a man sued a woman for
divorce. These days the circuit
court clerk's records show an in
creasingly number of divorce
complaints where the husband
is the plaintiff.
During the. month of Febru
ary, shortest of the year; a total
of 31 divorces were sought, 20
by the wife, 11 by the husband.
Divorces did not equal mar
riages, however. The county
clerk reported a total of 50
marriage licenses issued during
February, the greater number
going to servicemen applicants.
