flavy Preparation For 6 Ycar Viar Gives "Grateful Feeling" of Security By DEWITT MACKENZIE (Associated Press Military Analyst) It certainly gives one a grateful feeling of security to hear Vice Admiral Frederick Home, vice chief of naval operations, sav the Naw is planning for a Pacific war "that will last at least until 1949," but it's equally good to note that he doesn't specifically state he believes the conflict necessarily will run that long. Six more years might not mean much to a tortoise which has an expectancy of 200 years of life. But it's an awfully long time to the average citizen who is looking forward to the day when he can take his car out of storage and drive into the countryside for a steak smothered with onions. When James F. Byrnes, Direc tor of War Mobilization, was asked about the admiral's statement he replied: "If anyone else is planning on that basis, I do not know that they are." T.

V. Soong. China's astute foreign minister who is now in Washington, remarked that it's "anybody's guess'' how long the fight with Japan will last and that seems to be a fair assay of the situation. One thing we're sure of is that whatever the duration of the war, it will be plenty long and painful. Its length and bloodshed and privations will depend mainly on civilian efforts in producing sinews of victory.

We must neither allow ourselves to grow slack because of over confidence, nor become despondent and therefore inefficient for fear of a long war. Industrial Efforts Pyramid Unfortunately the amount of striking power the Allies could turn against Japan has been largely dependent on the demands of the European conflict. However, things are looking decidedly brighter in the Pacific as our industrial efforts begin to pyramid. It's encouraging though surely nothing to cause complacence to see the United Nations go on the offensive against the Mikado's forces at the same time as the Allies launch their "beginning of the end'' drives in Europe. As witness to our process we have yesterday's great Allied air raid on Bairoko Harbar, New Georgia, when 150 bombers dump ed 133 tons of grief on the Japs This was a companion piece of last Saturday's huge aerial attack by 192 of our warplanes on Kahili, Japan's key base in the Solomons when nine enemy ships, including a cruiser and three destroyers were sunk.

The field of Allied aggressive ness covers the whole vast" Pacific area. Our warships again have blasted the Nipponese de fenses on Kiska Island, up in the Aleutians, in preparation for in vasion. The time must be near for the amphibious assault which will return Kiska tot American hands. Thai will lessen the Jap threat to Alaska and give us another important airbase within reach of enemy territory. American Bombers Raid Almost coincident with the Kiska assault, American bombers made the first raid on Jap3ns northernmost island bajt Para mushiro, on the tip of the Kuril1 chain.

We apparency were operating from Amchitka, in the West ern Aleutians, demonstrating the fact that we can reach out to Jap territory from our own bases. At the same time American Lib erators Australia blasted Celebes. These two raids, each of which represented a round trip of about 2000 miles, are among the longest bombing flights on record. That's something for the Japs to worry about. So it goes a story of steady 'Allied progress.

Daily we are tearing at the vital sinews of the Jap octopus. In his efforts to cling to the vast expanse of islands whicH he grasped, he is expanding resources which he can't replace and can't afford to lose. Since Pearl Harbor the Allies have destroyed close tot 650 Jap' anese ships of all types, includ ing some 230 war vessels. The enemy air losses have been grave. Figures change almost hourly, but the trend can be seen in the fact sive in.

the New Georgia urea the that since we began our offen first of this month, we have de stroyed more than 300 Jap war planes. The cumulative effect of this will be great, when finally Anglo American sea and air power is re leased from the European theatre and can be hurled at the Mikado.

Amerioan Planes Shatter Bairoko, Jap Key Supply Base For Burma 401. By Mt'RLIN SPENCER Allied Headquarters in the Southwest Pacific, July 22, (JP) United States bombers shattered Japanese positions at Bairoko harbor, above Munda on the north shore of Georgia Island, yesterday in the heaviest air attack ever made in the Southwest Pa cific. More than 150 Avenger tor pedo bombers and Dauntless divers, operating under a strong fighter cover, pounded the area in a day long series of raids.

"One" hundred thirty three tons of bombs were dropped and the area extensively strafed," the daily report from General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said. "It was the heaviest air attack that has been executed by the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific area." A spokesman added that it also surpassed anything the Japanese ever had done. The communique said the raid was made "in support of our ground forces." This might indicate American troops were advancing from Enogai inlet, two miles northeast, where last week they destroyed the entire Japanese garrison. Bairoko is the supply base for Munda, key Japanese defense point in the Central Solomons, but Allied forces blocked traffic between the two points last week. Only one sentence was used in reporting the ground action at Munda: "Enemy ground forces launched a strong counterattack and were repulsed with heavy losses." (From Admiral William F.

Hal sey's South Pacific headquarters, however, came an official state ment that U. S. troops had advanced to within a few thousand yards of the airfield and that its capture "now is in reach." (The Japanese, their artillery knocked out and their armed strength reduced to morta ma chine guns and small weapons, were said to be contained in pill box defenses ringing the field itself.) Over Madang, New Guinea iwin enginea Ljgntnings won a smashing victory against a much greater Japanese force. The bat tie took place during an intensive, low altitude attack by our bomb ers. "Enemy planes in force were engaged by our fighter escort," the communique said.

"They were defeated and dispersed, 19 being shot down and destroyed and 11 probably were destroyed. Two Enola engine Amboy crews first to go after 12.01 p. ra. 323. Enola train crews first to go after 12.01 p.

Japanese forces launched nine counterattacks against Mount Tambu which Aus tralian jungle fighters captured several days ago.

Bridge Destroyed A delayed dispatch from the Fifth Airforce told of heavy bomber attacks last Tuesday on bridges spanning the Gum, Gogol and Gori rivers in the Madang area. The Gogol bridge, an important link in the Madang Lae supply route, was destroyed. One Liberator, intercepted by nine Zeros, was lost after it had shot down two and probably three of its attackers.

Other Allied bombers yesterday attacked Penfoei airdrome on Timor; started fires in Rabaul, New Britain; bombed the Cape Gloucester, New Britain, and the Fin schhafen, New Guinea, airdrome areas; bombed and strafed enemy barges and the jetty area at Lae, causing explosions along the waterfront; and set fire to two Japanese oil barges at Vella La vella Island.

Kelly, 25, now stationed in England, has sent to his mother, Mrs. Margaret Bland, 651 Camp street, a glowing ac count of the classic U. S. Army football game, which his team won, 19 6, played in London on May 8. His letters included pictures of the team, and clippings from British papers.

Kelly was one of the two Harrisburg men on the team, called the "Crimson Tide," made up of members of the Field Artillery from Pennsylvania and nearby states. Opposition was furnished by the "Fighting Irish" of the Engineers, recruited from mid western states. The other Harris burg leather toter was Sergeant Paul W. Dennis, who was re sponsible for one of the "Tide's" three tallies. Enlists in 1941 The uptown soldier enlisted on April 2, 1941 and received training at Camp Shelby, Sutton, N.

and Kilmore, N. Kelly was sent to Ireland September, 1942 and spent five months there before going on to England. A star athlete at William Penn, from which he was grad' uated in 1938, Kelly was em ployed by the York Motor Ex press Company of Harrisburg prior to his enlistment. Kelly, who played end on the team, wrote a letter to the Editors of the Harrisburg Telegraph recently enclosing a copy of the game program. The picture of mm snown nere was taicen in England.

Sgt. Deanis is the son of Mr and Mrs. Lloyd Dennis, 2207 Berryhill street, and it was his touchdown in the last period of the game that gave the "Crimson" a comfortable lead. He married the former Miss Anna Mae Miller, 32 North Thirteenth street, and is now the father of twins of which he has seen only a picture. He was in ducted into the Army in April, 1941, and has been stationed in Ireland and England for the past ten months.
