4,000 MARINES BELIEVED DEAL (Continued from Page One) tions were reported by Morri< Landsberg, Associated Press wai correspondent. Turner said it was ‘‘unbeliev abje” that the Leathernecks could have taken an island with nc greater cost, considering the in. tricate defenses and difficult ter rain that forced a frontal assault, He added: -■Such an achievement can reach no higher perfection.” General Smith likewise stressed fte many difficulties in seizing this forward island, soon to be an jdvanced base for aerial punches .4 Japan. -frontal assault against pre ared defenses was our only choice of attack,” said the Marine commander. ‘‘That operation was carefully planned and e^cuted bv exp£*’ienced commanders.” \s to Marine losses, a point on he is considered sensitive, tbe two-fisted general said: -The cost of winning this objec t:ve no doubt was weighed care fully against the importance of having this island as an operating base °and speeding the ultimate defeat of Japan. When capture of an enemy positions is necessary to winning a war, it is not within our province to evaluate the cost jn money, time, equipment or most of all human life.” Japanese survivors on Iwo fought on hopelessly today al though the authority of the United States had been proclaimed over the island. Hundreds of the Nipponese re sisted bitterly from strcseg de fenses. many of them under dround, along a sandstone ridge or butte on the northern tip of the iisland. The Nipponese apparently were not suffering from lack of arms or ammunition, said a field dis patch from Landsberg. They were pounded by an incessant barrage laid down by planes, tanks, howit zers, other artillery and naval guns. ° it_ Weather Bureau To Get New Assistant Observer Paul Hess, director of the local Weather Bureau, announced yes terday the appointment by the regional director at Atlanta, Ga. of Tancil A-.

So impressed and grate ful were they that they stole his patents and squeezed him out. Later, he returned to America and began building submarines for the U. S. Navy. -V Approximately 95 per cent of the world’s population is located north of the equator. Churchill Says Reich Will Fall In Summer (Continued from Page One) ally of the United States and the other nations in that conflict, but also to regain ah we are regaining, territories which the Japanese wrested from us. We will have to repay the injuries they inflicted and the infernal cruelties they per petrated upon His Majesty’s sub jects—British, Australians, Indian, Burmese and Malayan alike. “That will require intense effort and no mood of war weariness must prevent us from doing our duty to the last inch and to the last minute.” Churchill, who when he became Prime Minister five and a half years ago promised the British nothing but blood, sweat, and tears, painted no rosy picture of the post-war years. ‘‘There may be less blood and fewer tears,’’ he said, “but men tal toil and physical sweat and the conscious united resolve of ev ery man and woman to give all thaV is in them will be required from us after the last bomb or cannon has ceased to thunder. Let there be no mistake about it. It is no easy cheapjack Utopia of airy phrases that lies before us. . .nev er was there a time when so much was planned and projected and so much remains to be turned from paper to action. . . “We have to get our dear coun try on the move again and into its full swing of natural health and life. . . we do not wish to live on the charity or generosity of any nation. we nave given uur an in xne common cause and may claim as sistance to recover our normal economy from those we have help ed to victory, but we must never agree to found our economic life on the indulgence or favor even of allies we most dearly cherish.” After reviewing Britain’s part in the war, he said: ‘‘Certainly with this unparallel ed record we have no need to seek the advice even of our rftost hon ored allies as to how we should conduct ourselves with regard to our own affairs. . . without free dom there is no foundation for our empire. Without the empire there is no safegua:-* for our freedom. We mean freedom for all states and nations within the circle of the Crown. By this we also mean freedom for individuals within the broad and ever advancing concep tions of the British constitution and the British way of life.” Churchill promised Britons a ‘‘large release from the necessary bonds and controls which war con ditions imposed upon us” as soon as possible after hostilities cease. ‘‘No retrictions upon well es tablished liberties that is not prov ed indispensable to the prosecution of the war and the transition from war to peace can be tolerated he said. “Control for control’s sake is senseless. Controls under the pretext of the war or its after math which are in fact designed to favor the accomplishment of to talitarian systems. . . should be mercilessly exposed to the British public.” He indicated Britain’s m ai n home front problems will be the rebuilding of the hundreds of thou sands of homes and business structures destroyed by German bombs, the reestablishment of for eign trade and a continued empha sis on the long-neglected but war —expanded agricultural industry. ‘‘The wai taught us that we have the long neglected treasure house of the British soil,” he said. ‘‘Twice in a generation we called upon the farming community, in spite of that neglect, to keep the wolf from our doors. They have not failed us. . . it would be mad ness indeed to cast away the in creased food production which has been achieved in the war. . . ag riculture therefore assumes a place in the forefront of post-war policy.” In the field of domestic politics, Churchill shocked many of his party colleagues by rejecting the thesis that an all-conservative gov ernment was the best for the coun try. He announced that if the pres ent coalition should be ended be fore the general election and he was asked to form a new govern ment, he would invite ‘‘not only conservatives but men of good will of any party or no party who are willing +o serve and thus invest our administration with a national character. And if the verdict of the nation should still leave us re sponsible, the government after the election will be further reform ed with the sole desire of rallying the strongest available to carry our cause to final victory and peace.” -V Pfc.

Davis, who faces soon a decision on “fringe wage” demands, took a stand today against easing price or wage controls. Davis, harkening to his Maine coast background, declared that no one trying to pilot an anti-in flation economy would “let go of the wheel heading into a squall.” He stated his philosophy in gen eral metaphor, mentioning “the swirling currents of a $200,000,000, 000 war economy,” and the need of being “doubly alert in this eleventh hour to guard against the tragic evils of inflation.” REDS DIVIDE ' NAZI POCKET (Continued from Page One) four-way road junction of Bladiau, four miles from the sea. Bladiau’s fall outflanked Heili genbeil. seven miles northeast, while tanks and infantry pressed on the stronghold from the south east, capturing Eisenberg, six miles from the big road and rail hub. In bitter fighting along the east bank of the Behwer river, the Rus sian front moved toward Brauns berg, gaining a mile on the south east by the capture of Vogelsang village, five miles from that ob jective. More than 1,000 Germans were captured, the Soviet war bulletin said, in this fierce struggle east of the besieged Gdynia-Danzig pocket Late’ German broadcasts said German fleet units had swung into action laying down broadsides against Russian tank forces both near Settin and in the Gdynia-Dan zig area. It was declared that ‘scores” of Soviet tanks were de stroyed. Marshal Konev’s First Ukraine Army shock units were reported to have smashed deep into the south ern and northern sections of Bres lau, lower Silesian capital and largest Nazi city yet tackled by the Red Army. Using flamethrowers, mortars and heavy weapons they had reached one of the city's big gest squares. In southern Hungary the Ger mans said their troops had cross ed the Sarviz canal southeast of Lake Balaton and were fighting on both sides of that natural defense line. The canal lies 16 miles from Lake Balaton’s northeastern tip in the area south of Budapest. It is 20 miles west of the Danube. Great tank battles swirled across the flat lands in their area where the German first world war lead er, General Ludenorff, predicted the decisive struggle would be fought in any succeeding war. The Germans apparently were trying to disrupt Marshal Feqdor Tolbuk hin’s plans for a renewed drive or Vienna and the Bavarian sectoi where the Nazis are expected tc make their last stand. -V VACATIONS CANCELLED WASHINGTON.
