But that lucks tho seal of supremo authority and Is surrounded by tacit admissions that Japan is beset by superior forces. Tho Tokyo government still pursues its Immure hunt, looking for some opening unit will soften thai "unconditional surrenflor. Japan's main effort is centered In an attempt to cause dissension among tno allies, or create sllua lions calculated to. discourage prosecution of tho war to the point of unconditional surrender, with this in view Tokyo has been working overtime to cause trouble between China and her allies.

Ono of the worst danger spots was in tho southeast sector of the fire, heading Into Simpson Lumber company holdings. The blaze burned furiously In tho Cedar Butte area, a dozen miles northeast of Tillamook. Officials said tills sector, In snmo of Oregon's wildest moun tain country, might not be scout ed for weeks. Polk Flra Controlled Elsewhere In Oregon, tho 11.-000-ucre Polk county fire was reported still under control despite last night's strong wind.

M'. into an inferno of flam. Bodies of 12 persons II of them charred beyond recog nition were recovered. Police and other unofficial estimates placed the death toll os high as 15. "- Mayor F. H. La Guardia said an army official at the Newark airport told him the army bomber was en route from Bedford, Mass., where it had arrived from Sioux Falls, S. D., to Newark. The plane was believed by the army spokesman to have three passengers, Lt. Col. W. F. Smith Jr., of New Bedford, Mass., a mechanic identified as Sat. Dimitrivich and an unidentified naval officer who had "hitch-hiked" a ride.

The Hyuca had been rcDorted damaged in strikes earlier this week. An Associated Press dis patch from the fleet did not make clear it had been sunk today or in the previous raids. Three of the first four naval planes that roared in through a heavy curtain of flak landed their half-ton bombs squarely on warships already hard hit by raids Tuesday and Wednesday. Associated Press Correspondent Richard O'Maliey reported from the U. S. third fleet. After the third attack within a week, Japan was left without a single heavy warship fit for action. Admiral Halsey's hard hitting carrier planes knocked out 26 warships, including three battleships, six aircraft carriers and four cruisers in strikes Tuesday and Wednesday alone.
