Only slight German resistance was reported by American troops which cut off the eastern tip of the peninsula by capturing the road junction of St. Pierre Eglise and then driving two miles westward and taking Carneville within sight of tne sea.

(ff) Twenty thousand Japanese, apparently abandoned to their, death by routed Nipponese fleet, were hit high and low today on Saipan by a Yank invasion army which now outnumbers the foe. Sensing almost certain victory in the distant Marianas as the aft ermath of a one-sided sea tri umph, the reinforced Yanks scaled the heights and probed the flat lands of that island gateway to Japan, China, and the Philippines, The scales were tipped heavily In iavor of the United States Monday by "Task Force newly disclosed fast and mighty armada with perhaps 20 of the nearly 100 United States carriers in action against Japan. Saipan's potential naval support was sent scurrying between Luzon and. Formosa Into the far China Sea by carrier planes of this spe ctalized group which sank one Japanese carrier, heavily hit three others, and damaged, a battleship and cruiser. In all, four enemy ships definitely were sunk and ten others hard hit.

Going Well Task Force 58, which navy of flcials in Washington said has been assigned "the entire Pacific Ocean to the gates of Japan as its stamping ground," thus paved the way for a steppedMjp drive on Saipan itself. Last night, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz renorted that the invasion of that island, 1,500 miles from Tokyo, but 3,800 miles from Pearl was going well. Supported by planes operating off captured Aslito airdrome and outrunning the Nipponese on the ground, the Yanks drove ahead more than a mile on the east side of the island at Maglcienne Bay. In the center, they were scaling 1340-foot Mount Tapotchau.

In the southeast tip, they had wiped out half of an unspecified total of trapped Japanese and seized 500 foot Mount Nafutan. Today Tokyo conceded in a -ffiis patch heard over the German ra dio that the Yanks are pouring ashore, along with heavy guns, on Saipan. Nimitz'! communique said "heavy presure is being maintained night nad day against enemy troor concentrations and defense works by our aircraft, army and marine and naval gun Assessing Monday's attack far to the west of sainan on the Jap anese fleet, Navy Secretary Forres- tal said in "Our fleet did a magnificent job, but the navy is not going to be satisfied until the Japanese fleet Is wiped out." He said the Japanese "never came very far to the eastward," and "we were able to send home but one air attack at very long range from our carriers Just be fore dark." The dynamite force of the task force obviously was a painful sur prise for the.

DOVELGROUP 10 CONTINUE PARJYFIGHf RICHMOND, June 23. MV-The Dovel faction of Virginia Retmbll- cans made plain today that it did not regard as final the action of the Republican National Committee yesterday in seating as dele-gates-at-large to the National Con- vtuvuKV 11IC1I headed by Major Henry Wise of Albemarle. Both I. R. Dovel of Luray, new Republican state chairman, and John Locke Green of Arlington, counsel for the four Virginia del-egates-at-large elected by the Re publican State Convention, at Roa noke in April, said they would carry the matter to the national convention's credentials commit- te.

"The fight on this contest will not be decided by Wise's national committee," said Dovel. "It wilL be carried to the credentials com mittee. They will hear the facta and they will decide the case." Major Wise is a- member of the Republican National Committee, and Greene said its action Thursday was "to be expected in view of the. fact that Major Wise was a member of the committee which sat on his own case." The Wise faction contended that Richmond city's block of 154 votes were incorrectly recorded at Roanoke to elect four deleeates- at-large headed by J. A.

Garbei-of Harrisonburg (Dovel partisans over four other would-be dele- gates-at-large, who included Major wise. Evidence to this effect was presented to the national committee by Roy C. Parks, Richmond city chairman, and Richard A. Simpson, chairman for the GOP in the Third Virginia District: The Dovel faction, which ha? maintained that the action of the state convention was binding, requested the national committee in a telegram from Garber to defer action on the matter untu loaay to allow Lester Parsons of Norfolk to appear. However, tne national committee's function is only to make up the temporary roll of the convention and it was decided to act without waiting for Parsons.
