A hundred transports were
encentrated. Tokyo said, at u,
S. island bases near Okinawa,
while two to.sk forces, including
five carriers and four battle
ships, moved toward MiyaKO
Island in the almost daily raided
Snkishima erouD.
Tokyo also reported allied
minelayers were sweeping a
channel off Balikpapan, South
Pacific oil center, for a third
Australian invasion of corneo.
Not Confirmed
These reports were without
confirmation. In announced
American naval activity a de
stroyer shelled and sank three
Japanese vessels in the Bonin
islands, between Iwo Jima and
Tokyo, while other surface ships
joined air forces in bombarding
by-passed Jaluit island in the
Marshalls.
The enemy reported 30 fight

Omura in the Japanese home
land during daylight today, fol
lowing up devastating pre-dawn
raids by 450 Sunerforts on tnree
industrial cities and three mine-
laying expeditions by 60 other
B-29S.
American ground forces in
the northern Philippines ad
vanced so rapidly it appeared
the enemy might not have a
chance to organize for the long-
expected major battles of Ca-
gayan valley.
Chines Offensive
Japanese columns launched a
successful two-pronged offen

Approximately 220 miles to the

Chinese columns have driven to

three miles from the former U

Two regiments of marines
cracked through rapidly dimin
ishing enemy resistance on Oki
nawa yesterday to reach the
southern shore and cut Japanese
survivors into three disconnect

regiment, Tarawa veterans who
entered the Okinawa battle this
week, were the first to reach the
beaches. They made it stand

EYES EXPERT USE
SALEM, June 20 WV- The
13-man legislative commission to
investigate tho state's tax struc
ture held its first meeting horc
today, immediately launching
Into a debate on whether to ac
cept Governor Earl Sncll's
recommendation that tho com
mission hire a firm of nutionully
recognized tax experts to assist
It in making tho study.
Tho point was a controversial
subject at the 1945 legislature,
which finally authorized the
commission to hire assistants.
Speaking at today's session,
Governor Snell said the com
mission's recommendations
would "carry greater weight
with the people if you obtain
the services of an outside agency,
but that Is for the commission
to determine."
The governor suggested that
if the legislature's appropria
tion of $20,000 for the commis
sion's expenses is not sufficient
to hire a firm of tax experts,
then the state emergency board
would "give serious considera
tion" to requests for additional
funds.

PROHIBITION
FOR INDIANS
HIT BY C OF C
Chamber of commcrco direc
tors today adopted a recommen
dation of the chamber Indlun af
fairs commltteo favoring abol
ishment of prohibition as It ap
plies to Klamath Indians.
Such a measure iind been pro
posed for congressional action
and tho Klumuth tribal council
fuvors It.
The chamber action was taken
with one dissenting vote. Princi
pal argumunts advances for tho
measure are that prohibition
does not prohibit and leads to
racketeering and bootlegging;
that it constitutes discrimination
against Indians, and that the
purposes of the original restric
tion of ploneor times no longer
hold good.
On a close vote, the chamber
directors rejected a proposal of
the aviation committee for sup
port of a policy calling for fed
eral aid for airports, similar to
the federal aid hlghwuy pro
gram. The chamber directors passed
on a number of matters brought
up for referendum purposes by
the United States chamber of
commerce.
