(U.R) The veteran Third marine division battled to within a half mile of the northeast coast of Iwo today in a determined bid to split the decimated Japanese garrison. Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine's Third division resumed its attack early today after pushing ahead 700 yards to within 600 yards of sheer cliffs overlooking a 300-yard beach on the northeast coast yesterday.

A thrust to the northeast coast would isolate the Japanese on the east coast from those on the northwest, and speed final conquest of tiny Iwo, only 750 miles south of Tokyo. Front dispatches said the Iwo campaign already was entering its last stages. 7,127 Japs Killed. Capture of a 362-foot height dominating northern Iwo, by the Third division yesterday was expected to facilitate the drive to the northeast coast. The division was also within 1,200 to 1,400 yards of the northern tip of Iwo.

The Japanese still were fighting desperately and exacting a steady toll of marines despite losses of nearly three quarters of the original garrison of 20,000 men. The number of Japanese bodies recovered by the marines reached 7,127 an increase of 2,343 since Monday by noon yesterday and thousands more were known to have been pulled back by the enemy himself. Thirty-two prisoners have been taken. A front dispatch from marine combat correspondent Jim Lucas of Tulsa, revealed that the Japanese have begun attempts to supply the hard-pressed garrison from the air. Japanese planes dropped cargo chutes believed carrying tanks of water on northern Iwo for "thirst-crazed enemy troops," Lucas said.

There are no springs or natural sources of water on Iwo. Make Small Gains. The Fourth and Fifth marine divisions, slugging up the east and west coasts respectively, also made small gains yesterday over some of the most rugged and bitterly-defended terrain yet encountered in the Pacific. Just ahead of the Fifth division lies the small west coast town of Nishi. The Fifth yesterday beat off the first enemy counter-attack since Tuesday.

I Artillery, naval guns and carrier planes supported the marines, and the Japanese were replying with intense small arms, automatic weapons and mortar fire. Carrier planes also made a bombing and rockett raid on Om-ura Own and the airfield on Chichi in the Bonin islands, just north of Iwo. Explosions and fires were touched off. Army liberators also attacked Chichi. Wiley Wants Stamps To Honor Swiss Cheese WASHINGTON.

(fP) All these new gadgets on our super airplanes are wonderful, agrees Maj. Gen.

Curtis E. Lemay. In fact, he remarks with sharp em phasis, our mechanical contn-vanpes are so advanced that it is getting pretty difficult to find men sufficiently trained to operate them. "Equipment certainly is away ahed of personnel," is the way he put it. "This is particularly true witlji B-29 bombers in long-range work." I Bombing: Authority.

Tpe cure for which he is known throughout the airforce: Continued, intensive training after the crews reach the combat areas. The general doesn't get along at all well, he acknowledged, "with peoble who put their feet up on the decks between combat missions." No, sir; they continue thejr education! And General Lemay is an authority on long-range bombing. He heads the Twenty-first bomber command, whose B-29s have been raining both chaos and consternation on Japan. Earlier in the war he was "architect of systematic destruction" of German-occupied Europe, his military biographers report. i Tonnage Is Byword.

The army's youngest major general at the time the 38-year-old Ohioan attained that rank in March 1944, General Lemay trained and took to England- the first heavy bombardment group to bomb Germany and nazi-held Europe effectively. It -was General Lemay who introduced pattern bombing by formations of heavy planes, and put into tactical use for the first time in the Eighth air force the combat formation which still is standard. Tonnage became his motto, and tonnage still is his bombing byword. "Tonnage is what does it," he asserts. "Even when the weather is sour, and you do not get a good run on your target, if you have enough bomb tonnage you'll knock hell out of it anyhow."
