Then the Twenty-Second— veterans of Eniwetok and Orote Peninsula—absorbed the shock and literally made a step-by-step vance. At least 400 enemy dud were counted by noon. Brig. Gen. William T. Clement Richmond, Virginia, assistant of the Sixth Marine Division, of which the Twenty- Second is a part, said grimly: “Damned Buzzards “We are well bled but we'll crush hose damned buzzards before it's of commander ;over.” £ By afternoon following the night assault the Marines had regained lost ground, but fighting still was furious around Sugar Loaf Hill, a tegic mound guarding ap- ‘hes to Naha, the capital city. The counter-attack was a full- scale attempt by the enemy to turn the tide of the campaign, in the opinion of one officer. “We've killed so damned of them we know they are ing a [full-scale blow at said many throw- us, he Hill Seized Okinawa ground action was high- lighted by the seizure, after five days of hard fighting, of strategic “Chocolate Drop™” Hill in the central sector by the Seventy-Seventh Di- vision. The promontory provides the Doughboys with a valuable ob- servation point. The Japanese again made an abertive counter-landing attempt near hard-won Machinato Airfield behind Sixth Marine Division lines. Naval gunfire smashed the landing boats. In the suburbs of Naha, the Japanese counter-attack was hurled back to Takamotoji Village with heavy losses. | A Japanese attempt to drive the Ninety-Sixth Infantry Division off Conical Hill similarly was repulsed. Incomplete returns indicated that 10 U. S. planes were lost in the two days and one night's carrier operation. Radio Tokyo said more than 900 American planes were in- volved. e CONFERENCE LEAPS OVER ONE HURDLE |Zone Defense Formulal Seems Assured-Trustee Issue Still Unsolved (Continued jromn Page One) others can go to its assistance.
