Japan's industries were on a wartime footing five years
before Pearl Harbor. Everyone worked — even children and
the aged. Western tools often are used but old fashioned
methods slow production. Here's a prewar munitions plant.
Conference
Hopes For
Early Close
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1—«(/P)
-Prospects of the settlement of
the Franco-Syrian dispute com
bined with reports of improved
American-Soviet relations bright
en' delegates hopes for an early
successful windup of the United
Nations conference.
Forceful leadership by the big
sponsoring powers was regarded
among the United States delegates
as \ means of shaking the confer
ence out of its lagging committee
work of whipping the charter for
the new league into final shape.
Many delegates are saying pri
vately that the time for action to
that end is a hand and the place
to begin is among the Big Five.
United States sought an agree
ment among British, Russian, Chi
l nese and French spokesmen on
half a dozen pending questions.
An early meeting of Stettinius
and the other four delegation
chiefs is expected. Moscow reac
tion to the proposed Big Five
statement of the veto voting issue
is expected in a day or so.
The statement is intended to re
assure- the small nations that big
power veto couldn’t be used to
prevent their getting at least a
preliminary hearing before the
prospective world security council.
They’re giving their all...
back them up with YOUR dollars!
I THE battle lines approach
the heart of the enemy’s
homeland, the fighting grows
fiercer...and more costly in men,
materiel and money. That*a one
reason why every red-blooded
American must back this mighty
7th War Loon with every dollar
he can l^y hands on. Another rea
eon is that this is really hro drives
M one. In the same period last
year, you were asked to invest in
two war loans, as against one this
time.
No need to tell you that War
Bonds are the safest and best in
vestment in the world. So pour
out your might, Americans, in
the mighty 7th War Loan. Let’s
show our valiant Fighting Men
that we’re backing them to the
limit of our means. •. 100%.

Southern Okinawa
Enemy Defenses
GUAM, June 1— {&) —United
States Tenth Army divisions are
killing more than one thousand
Japanese daily and have crumbled
the last formidable core of the
enemy defenses across southern
Okinawa yesterday in a general
assault which gained up to twelve
hundred yards and virtually
pinched off Shuri.
The fall of Naha on the west
coast and Yonabaru on the east
had left only Shuri in the center
for practical purposes to the Jap
anese.
First Marine Division patrols,
advancing yesterday through the
wrecked city of Shuri were within
sight of westbound forward ele
ments of the Ninety-Sixth infan
try division; thus one encircle
ment has virtually been com
pleted around any enemy troops
within Shuri’s boundaries and an
other is forming more than a mile
to the south.
Today’s fleet communique, in
disclosing the successes, listed
61,519 Japanese dead in the cam
