After War By JIM LINDSLEY IWO JIMA, March 14.—(Delay ed)—(Via Naval Radio)— —As long as the war lasts this lava dot in the Pacific will remain a stag ing point for American air raids on Japan, but when the conflict is over someone will have to de cide what to do with it on a per manent basis. Iwo’s military value under war conditions is unquestioned. Despite its tiny size it makes a fine air base. Motoyama Airfield No. 1, at the southern end, has been plac ed in top condition. Construction of a second airfield, farther north, is being speeded to completion by Americans. The Japanese got a good start on it. A third field still farther north, for which the ene my had partially cleared the ground, also is expected to be placed in operation. One highly placed naval officer who declined to be quoted' by name said that while the United States certainly wouldn’t risk hav ing the island, conquered at such a high cost, revert to the Japa nese, he still saw little long range military value in it. "There are islands in the Mari anas and Bonins which would serve our defense purposes much better and from which we easily could keep Iwo permanently neu tralized," he declared. "I see lit tle point in pouring into the is land huge sums of money which would be required to make it a fit place for a white soldier or sail or to spend any time.” This officer pointed out that the island has no harbor facilities and that its beaches are step, com posed of shifting volcanic sand. An Army officer, a.military op erations expert, said he doubted that the United States would “just walk off and leave” the island af ter the expense of constructing air bases for war purposes. “It might be made a permanent outpost,” be said, “under normal conditions and with housing facili ties it might not be such a bad place to spend a year or two.” Whether Iwo has any economic value is doubtful. It had a small sulphur mine until it was blown up by American guns and sup posedly there once was a refinery. But the lack of harbor facilities makes it unlikely that anyone would want to spend much money mining sulphur here. The island has no water supply except for one or two small sul phur springs. Little if anything could grow in the loose, ashy volcanic sand. Besides, anyone trying to cultivate the island for years to come would risk being blown up by mines which the Japa nese planted thickly, or unexplod ed shells. One Marine officer suggested facetiously that Iwo might make a modern day Elba for Hitler, Tojo and others. _ “Even living the rest of their lives on Iwo is not too drastic a punishment for those guys,” he said. -V The first seven ribs in the body are called true ribs, the next three false and the last two floating ribs. ■-V BUY WAR, BONDS AND STAMPS MEAD S TRIAL « RING JURY GREENVILLE, March 19.—(/P)— The case of Dr. Leon R.
