This one.of the graphic pictures taken on Tarawa by Frank Filan, 39-year-old Associated Press photographer, and 'still pool representative in the Pacific, and they go a long way toward explaining what happened in the Gilberts campaign.

The pillbox picture more than any expresses the theme of the Tarawa fighting. It is a picture of death and destruction. Trees have been sheared off probably by naval shelling. The concrete emplacement is shattered. The Americans had to inch their w'ay toward this murderous position virtil the last defenders were cleaned out.

There are more dead Japanese than the picture shows; they are buried in the sand. The camera-reveals other evidence of the erpe fighting that begar Nov. 20 In a campaign termed by its officers as the toughest in the 168 years of -the United States marine As the battle moved on, an American tank wras disabled by Japanese guns and came to ai halt amid shattered oil drums. In another picture, Filan shows the seared bodies of three Japanese who fell before American flame throwers. Other Japanese lay sprawled in their field kitchen.

Filan, Brooklyn born, landed with the marines on Tarawa and got his initiation into hazards of warfare long before he wrent on a war assignment. In July, 1942, Filan was in an army bombardment plane to take pictuies of routine maneuvers near Calif. His plane crashed with another and Filan parachuted to safety. bookie establishment to operate, wa secured by Dr. William.

PLASTIC INSOLE tempo rrilr by electricity. Thca at you take a few ttept the primary weapon in medium tanks. Now the 75-millimeter' has taken to the air, where it can fly about ten times as fast as it can move across the ground. So far as has been disclosed, the heaviest caliber guns used on American planes heretofore were the 37-millimeter guns carried by P-39 Airacobra fighters just half the caliber of the new gun. Russia acquired many PA-39's, using the 37-millimeter guns for ground staling and anti-tank patrol.

The new heavier-armed Mitchells accordingly would be planes after the Russians fondest dreams. Talk or Using 105. Disclosure that medium bombers are carrying 75-millimeter guns naturally raised the question how a heavy gun might be mounted in a 4-motored Flying Fortress or" Liberator, or the new B-29 super bomber which is even larger. Some observers said they might be able to mount 105-milli-meter weapons. Recoil probably is the governing factor.

Recoil of such a gun would be many times that of the 37-millimeter whose gun shell weighs one-and-a-half pounds. The 75-millimeter howitzer shell weighs 22 pounds and the 105-millimeter howitzer shell 51 pounds.
