Fire fighters and plane handlers re moved smouldering and burning planes and shoved them over- bbard while the flames were confined to the forward portion of the hangar deck. I Then, while all this was In progress, the crippled ship was hit again. Overhead, her planes nan shot flown live ol the en eany, and her anti-aircraft gun- n ;rs had accounted for three n ore. But through the curtain o AA fire the second kamikaze, a though hit, crashed his plane a id bomb load into the ship's superstructure.

Harmony Is Keynote The momentous conference swung into its third day to all appearances on a note of har mony. Chief American interest centered in what steps the three statesmen might take to ex pedite the unconditional sur render of Japan, and if the re port of the president's offer is true, much has been accom plished to speed the work of the conference. The president was reported to have told Prime Minister Chur chill and Premier Stalin that the U. S. government would give full support to any reasonable settlement of boundary disputes, stabilization and rehabilitation. (In London, well-informed diplomatic sources expected the Big Three to amputate a huge slice of eastern Germany for the benefit of Poland.) Some American observers in Potsdam consider the Japanese war and Russia's possible role therein the major points of dis cussion. Admiral William D. Leahy, the president's adviser: Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff; Admiral of the Fleet Ernest J. King and Gen. H. H. Arnold, air chief, are reported to have prepared impressive data. There Is speculation on Rus sia's possible participation in the war on the Asiatic mainland. Meanwhile, the president was making the most of his- talent for comenting friendships.
