Jap Fleet Ablaze In 1,000 Plane Raid Continued from Page 1 batteries threw up a terrific flak and swarms of enemy fighters rose to battle the raiders, but Johnston said the American Helldivers pressed their attacks home with "excellent" results. United Press War Correspondent Ernest Hoberecht, also with Halsey's fleet, said at least two Japanese warships were hit directly by heavy bombs and that a number of other enemy creft were left burning fiercely.

Forts Hit Osaka, Nagoya. The carrier strike kicked off a day of unprecedented American aerial offensive during which perhaps 2,000 Yank warplanes, ranging from fighters to giant B-29 Superfortresses were over the enemy homeland. A record fleet of over 600 B-295 bombed Osaka and Nagoya, and Tokyo said another 400 army fighters and light bombers also hit Honshu from their bases on Okinawa and Iwo Jima. The main blow at Kure opened at dawn, when Halsey launched his first waves of fighters, dive bombels and torpedo planes from a fleet rendezvous that Tokyo said was somewhere off the southeast coast of Honshu. Jap Planes Join Battle Caught flatfooted in the opening minutes of the American strike, the Japanese reacted at first with a terrific antiaircraft barrage.

Then, for the first time since Admiral Halsey began his fleet assault on Japan on July 10, Japanese fighters rose to meet the attacking Americans. Climbing through own blazling flak screen, the enemy fliers put up a desperate but apparently futile battle to defend great naval anchorage. The Kure strike apparently was still in progress long after mid-day, almost 12 hours after it began. Equally successful results were expected from the Osaka and Nagoya raids, where a record fleet of more than 600 B-29s from the Marianas unloaded 4,000 tons of demolition bombs on the second and third cities of Japan. They were practically unopposed in the air.

Tokyo said Kobe. Okayama, Tokushima, Himeji. Wakayama and Kuwana Valso were brought under attack. In all perhaps 8.000. American airmen were riding the skies over Japan, splattering more than 5.000 tons of bombs and tens of thousands of machine gun slugs into the enemy homeland, Other Pacific Actions Elsewhere on the vast Pacific battle lines these developments, too, pointed up the accelerating decline of Japan's war power: 1-The isolated Japanese army in Malaya girded for an expected invasion of Singapore.

Radio Batavia admitted that a mass evacuation of civilians from the captured British naval base was under way. 2-An American task force under Rear Admiral John H. BrownTokyo said it numbered seven destrovers-broke loose in the Okhotsk and bombarded Paramushiro in the northern Kuriles, without opposition. 3-Other American warships steamed unchallenged off the China coast on a commerce-raiding foray that sank or damaged several Japanese vessels. 4-U.

S. Navy planes sank or damaged seven enemy ships off Korea and in the Yellow Sea, and aircraft of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's command sank 13 more and damaged 109 other craft. 6-Enemy accounts said three Allied submarines surfaced off ChiIsland in the Bonins at 3 a.m. this, morning (Tokyo time) and shore targets for 30 minutes.

would closed, within the limits of the housing site. The map is a link in the chain of plans leading to construction of the Civic Center and beautification and utilization of the surrounding areas. Plan Pushed by Cashmore Mr. Cashmore has sought for years to have this borough's approach to the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as Borough Hall, serve as a modern "front door entrance" to Brooklyn. The first step was acquisition of the area bounded by Prospect, Washington, Tillary and Fulton followed by elimination of dilapidated buildings on these blocks.

Subsequently, the area was improved as the Parkes Cadman Plaza Since then the Borough President's office made numerous studies and plans for the ultimate improvement of the Civic Center. Engineers on Mr. Cashmore's staff have collaborated with the City Planning Commission from the start of the postwar planning program. Last April the commission adopted a master plan for the Civic Center and downtown area. Meanwhile, a group of banks entered into an agreement with the city for construction of the housing site.

NEvins 8-5253 Dignified Service Plus Economy Continued from Page 1 Continued from Page 1 nomination, but made it clear that the indorsement would not cause him to alter his political philosophy. This was followed by an article written by Mr. Davis in Sunday's edition of the Daily Worker reviving the Communist proposal of an independent Negro Soviet Republic to carved out of America's southern States.

The proposal had been used in the past as part of the Communist recruiting campaign among American Negroes, Mr. Davis, in his Daily Worker article, expressed regret that the plan had been allowed to fade. This happened, he explained, a under the influence of the "revisionist errors" which Earl Browder had permitted to filter into Communist doctrine. The Communist State Convention voted to eliminate Browder's "errors" and overwhelming sentiment made it clear that the State Communists favored re-establishment of the Communist party, which was dissolved under Browder's leadership in favor of establishment of the Communist Politi- cal Association. Back to Marxism The delegates voted to return to first principles of Marxism in the class struggle.

Mr. Davis said acceptance of the "error" in the Communist position under the influence of revisionism had led to acceptance of others until the Communist Association in Harlem was "deeply infected with liquidation tendencies." In the pre-Browder period the Communists were on record as favoring establishment of a so-called Black Belt extending in a semicircle from Virginia to Texas, abolishing existing "artificial" State lines and setting up a Negro soviet. Appeal Co 0'Dwyer Leader Loughlin's announcement last week touched off A steady stream of protests direct peals were said to have been made to Mr. O'Dwyer to intervene, A8 he did when threatened to deny its indorsement to Manhattan District Attorney Frank S. Hogan.

Part of the opposition to Mr. Davis' designation appears to be spearheaded by Bronx Leader Edward J. Flynn, who was originally reported opposed to Mr. O'Dwyer's nomination because of his American Labor party backing. Mr.

Flynn called in his Bronx candidates several weeks ago and ordered them to refuse A. L. P. backing if offered. Leaders Visit Flynn A delegation of five Tammany leaders yesterday visited Mr.

Flynn at his law office, 60 E. 42d Manhattan, and upon leaving said he would make a statement in 48 hours. They included Michael J. Kennedy, former leader of Tammany and present leader of part of the 3d A. George W.

Thompson, leader of part of the 6th; Joseph H. Broderick, leader of half of the 7th; Fred Dickens, leader of part of 'the 13th, and Herbert L. Bruce, leader of part of the 12th. Mr. Broderick, in a telegram to Mr.

Loughlin made public before the conference with Mr. Flynn, had declared that "real Americans of all races, colors and religious beliefs are shocked at your selection of the Communist Davis." "This arrogance of Neal (head of the Tammany elections Stand (secretary of Tammany) and yourself will sabotage the successful election of the Democratic ticket in November and drive God-fearing Democrats out of the Democratic party." Mr. Davis' nomination was also denounced by Queens Leader James A. Roe and Queens Representative William B. Barry.

Mr. Roe declared that "nothing can justify the designation of a Communist by the Demcratic party in this city and it will prove damaging to the ticket, particularly in my country." He said he was "thoroughly disgusted." Resigns in Protest Former State Senator Brennan yesterday resigned as head of the East Side Democratic Club, of which Mr. Loughlin is executive member, ill protest. Mr. Brennan said "in taking this action I am not unmindful of your promise to me of political preference." "However." he continued, "I am an American and nothing you or anvone else can offer me will induce me to put a price on Americanism." The Queens Democratic executive committee yesterday designated for City Council, James A.

Phillips of Middle Village and Hugh Quinn of Flushing, both incumbents, and L. Gary Clemente of Ozone Park. Joseph A. Lambe of Queens Village and T. Harold Kessler of Jamaica.

The 7th A. D. Liberal party yesterday elected Raymond Schmidt executive committee chairman. Hit 'Dwyer's Silence The Democrats for Judge Goldstein, through their temporary chairman. Thomas F.

Dunigon, Lie. mony at 4 p.m. He was on the stand three and one-half hours, Charges Him With Plot He accused Petain of heading a "plot" to get France's separate armistice with Germany signed in 1940. Even before the armistice, he said, Marshal Petain had schemed under an aura of false prestige to seize power for himself.

Petain, he charged, opposed an extension of the Maginot Line along the Franco-Belgian frontier. It was in that section, at Sedan, that the Nazi hordes sliced through in 1940 to overrun France. Gen. Maxime Weygand had advocated continuing the Maginot fortifications to the northwest along the Belgian frontier, M. Reynaud testified.

do not believe France could live if led by a man inspired by a spirit like that of Petain and his accomplices," said the former Premier. He charged that both Petain and Weygand conspired to prevent the French army from going to North Africa to carry on the war after the fall of France. He recounted the strife within the government Bordeaux, to which the had fled from Paris. That led to M. Reynaud's resignation and Marshal Petain's opening of negotiations with the Germans for an armistice.

Branded a Defeatist "It would appear that ever since Feb. 6, 1934, when he was summoned by Premier Doumerzue, Petain was eaten by a desire for power." he declared. In February. 1940, he said. Petain told a delegation of workers that "in five months you will have defeat and dictatorship." "We must each day that we He said Petain, had once said: have been beaten." Indorsement Seen For Mrs.

Earle Continued from Page 1 advanced for the G.O.P. indorsement. According to word from the G.O.P. camp the most telling argument working in Mrs. Earle's favor is that the Republicans, going out in favor of the GoldsteinMcGoldrick-Pette ticket on the good government issue, could not consistently deprive her of their indorsement in view of her record.

Petitions Out Sunday Members of the Citizens NonPartisan Committee will begin circulating Mrs. Earle's petitions Sunday, the first day under the law when the signing of Councilmanic nominating petitions is permitted. The Republicans are expected to name three or four candidates for the Council from Brooklyn. The Democrats are expected to nominate nine. Three have been placed in the field by the Liberal party and the American.

Labor party, meeting tomorrow night, is expected to decide whether it will nominate more than one candidate. Milton Goell, attorney, housing expert and one of Brooklyn's foremost civic leaders, has received the Labor party's indorsement as its nominee. He is actually a Democrat.
