(Signal Corps Rnrtiophoto from NEA Telephoto.) ignalmen move up On Eve of Great Fleet Strike at Jap Homeland By BOB GEIGER ABOARD ADMIRAL MITSCHER'S FlilGSHIP OF THE SPE- CITL TOKYO TASK FORCE, Feb This is the eve of battle night before Admiral Marc A. Mitscher throws his tremendously outnumbered carrier planes in the first carrier strike against the Japanese empire and its hundreds of airfields, daring its fleet and airforce to come out and flght. This great American Task Force 58, made famous by its daring strikes in the South and Central Pacific, is the first war fleet to penc- trale so far into Japanese waters and tonight is heading straight for Grade I Silver Tokyo.

By 7 n. in. tomorrow its ships will be a scant few hundred miles fiom the coastline and in broad daylight will ilug It out with whatever the Japanese have to offer. Everyone from Admiral Mitscher to the seamen are tense, for this is the first great tost of carrier pow- I ft against land based planes and it i is the fiist low level attack in force upon Tokyo. Undoubtedly there are 110 less than 100 Hying fields from which the U.

S. fleet can tie attacked. U. S. ships tonight are deployed in Ions columns stretching for more than 100 miles in length and several miles in width.

The wind is Wowing at 20 knots. The water is rough and the sky black. Fair weather has been promised over Tokyo tombrrow, a good omen for the fighter nnd bomber pilots who will go in low for strafing attacks and bomb rims. Aerologists predicted there will be broken clouds over the fleet giving any attacking dive bombers an advantage against our for they can drop unexpectedly through the cloud holes. Thus, from the standpoint of the weather, the odds may balance.

They riddled it before the pilot could get off a warning message to the empire.

Later a Japanese fishing boat was i surprised by advance scouting forces nnd it Vas strafed. The fishermen were taken prisoners. Shortly before dusk a group of Japanese Bogies was reported heading toward us and the flee', had its first torpedo nlerf. The alert lasted only a Jew minutes and the plane was identified an American scout from land base. A found a mine adrift between two of the American ships and sank said it apparently hud broken away from a Japanese mine field as there was no that Japanese planes were mining waters in front of the fleet.

Dinner tonight was noisy with jokes and laughter, evidence of tenseness. The flag plot room where Ad- rniral Mitscher and his staff plan strategy, was crowded with men bent over charts, desks and reports. The admiral stood over the chart table, his eyes peering intently thrcugh two forward port holes of tlie room. On one side of the Admiral was Commodore A. A.

United States scientists here are I growing white cotton, green cotton and eight shades of brown but they are quick to out that the brown nnd green fibers are of "absolutely no commercial value." The Russians have claimed two additional hues, rose and lemon. And Moscow Radio says 12,000 yards of goveii from colored lint last year. This year, Moscow adds, 700 tons will be grown from which million yards of colored cloth will be produced. But the U. S.

scientists apparently have not hit on toe Soviet technique and up to now, they say, they have not obtained Soviet seed. Of colored lint fibers produced at the U. S. Cotton Field Station here Geneticist J. Winston Neely writes; "Any statement indicating that we anticipate their use in manufacturing undyed, colored fabrics would be a misrepresentation of facts." But another report from the field station discloses that: "These colored fibers have been made into yarn and woven into fabrics by elderly ladies in sponsored organizations at Fnyetteville, and Abbeville, La." Turn Brown Station 'scientists say that brown lint occurs in every known species of cotton.

Only American upland cotton, they say, produces Green fibers which are bright colored when the bolls first open, but on exposure to light gradually fade to a brownish green. But other than for use as "markers" in inheritance studies the gen- I eticists see "little value in the color- I ed cotton they grown. I "The colored fibers are ized by very low yields and very low lint percentages. The brown lints are very short and weak, and I fabrics mode from them are very mottled because of the variation in I intensity of the pigments." the sta- I tion report says. "The green-lint libels have, however, been made into yarn that is ns strong- us the ynm ordinarily obtained from longer cottons.

The iiistiMity of tiie- green pigmentation would prevent the commercial use or green libers n.s a means of obtaining natural-colored fabrics."
