THE INVASION OF OKINAWA
Conferences at Guam ended, Pacific Fleet Commander, Admiral Nimitz sends an armada of 1,400 vessels to Okinawa in the Ryukus. En route, the men of the new U. S. 10th Army stage their own deck entertainment, and secure their issue of invasion money.
Land sighted, the big guns of the fleet bark into action, and tons of rockets are sped shoreward. Landing craft race in, and unopposed landings are made. Inland, Jap dugouts and pill boxes are destroyed with grenades. Past broken forts, natives climb down from the hills, the Stars and Stripes are run up, and the Yanks prepare for their campaign on Okinawa--360 miles from Japan itself.
ADVANCING WITH THE U.S. 3RD ARMY
From hill positions, the Yanks are confronted with blistering fire from the Nazis in the valley below. When Yankee tanks, tank destroyers, and machine guns silence the enemy, the U.S. 3rd continues its victory advance, rolling by miles of burning and wrecked Nazi equipment. And a flood of Nazi prisoners streams to a collecting yard.

PRESIDENT TRUMAN AT WORK
Early in the A.M. President Harry S. Truman leaves Blair House, his new temporary home, and briskly walks to the White House.
Mathew J. Connelly, his confidential secretary, and Leonard Reinsch, his press and radio relations man, are busy at their tasks. The President nominates John W. Snyder, St. Louis banker, to become Federal Loan Administrator. Mr. Truman confers with the U.S. delegates to the forthcoming Golden Gate conference, then later, in the presence of Congressional leaders, he signs a bill extending Lend Lease.
348 members of the press, a record number, crowd into his office to attend his first press conference. In the evening, the President goes on the air, to talk to U. S. service men all over the world. He explains he is an ex-serviceman, and that he is carrying on, as the entire country expects them to do.
EISENHOWER'S ARMIES ADVANCE
Supreme Commander Eisenhower personally observes the attacks of his armies. He sees terrific artillery bombardments. U. S. infantrymen advance into towns, and blast out Nazi snipers. White flags are everywhere.
The German military road system of super-highways, the Autobahns, are utilized to race Yank infantry into advanced attacks, and as improvised air fields for light observation planes. Miles of wrecked and burning Nazi equipment are passed. Rail lines are torn and twisted, munition factories are utterly destroyed. And the flood of Nazi prisoners continues to mount to staggering proportions.
ERNIE PYLE KILLED
Ernie Pyle, the G. I.'s favorite writer and comrade, is killed on I(illegible text) Jap island off Okinawa. Our record shows him very recently, modestly living with the doughboys on Okinawa.

ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
REDS ROLLING TO BERLIN
As Marshals Zhukov and Rosokofskey direct wide flanking attacks on Warsaw, Red tanks and cavalry wheel into line to carry out the orders. Heavy artillery opens its murderous fire. The infantry advances using machine guns and heavy grenades. Die hard Nazi snipers are wiped out.
Ruined Warsaw is entered, Chopin's conservatory is ruined, in fact all buildings are mere shells. Warsaw had been Germanized, even the street cars had been reserved for Nazis.
The same story is repeated at Poznan, but here there is human ruin--a horror camp. Disfigured people walk about. The courtyard is filled with corpses and wailing women relatives. A chamber is loaded with torture implements including a guillotine. A parade of Nazi prisoners is attacked by frenzied Poles who punch right and left indiscriminately, just so they land on Nazis. Warsaw and Poznan are freed, and the drive for Berlin is on.
ARGENTINA INVITED TO S. F. PARLEY
The question of Argentina's entry into the United Nation's Security Conference causes the most dramatic floor discussions which have occurred there thus far. Ezequiel Padilla, Mexico's able Secretary for Foreign Affairs speaking in behalf of the Latin American Nations, pleas for Argentina's entry. Russia's Foreign Commissar Molotov, through an interpreter, speaks against the plan, adding that Russia will ask nothing else of the conference. Secretary of State Stettinius pleads with the conference to admit Argentina and get on with the other matters on the agenda. When Chairman Anthony Eden calls for a vote, Argentina is invited to the parly by a vote of 31 to 4.
U. S. NAVY VS. JAP LAND PLANES
Jap planes, desperately trying to defend their homeland, rise from their air fields to attack the U. S. fleet off Okinawa. Some of the most vivid and spectacular action of the war takes place. U. S. guns completely fill the sky with their fire; low flying Jap planes are picked off by highly accurate fire into which they fly.

THE NAZI WAR LORDS IN DEFEAT
With Germany's complete capitulation, her various leaders present diverse pictures as they are forced from their habitats, into surrender.
Hermann Goering, Number Two Nazi, seems dazed as all the dangling medals are removed from his broad chest and he is subjected to a blistering press conference with British and U. S. correspondents. Discovery of his vast collection of stolen art treasures at Berchtesgaden, only adds to his discomfiture.
Field Marshal von Runstedt and his son are studies in unflinching Prussian militarism, before they are whisked away for internment. Field Marshal Kesselring, defence expert from the Italian campaign, seems deliriously amused at the prospect which awaits him.
While Adolf Hitler, the arch criminal, has not been taken into custody yet, a painstaking search of his many haunts is being made. A visit to Ladsberg Prison, in which he wrote Mein Kampf in 1923-4, merely reveals that his cell had been made into a Nazi shrine. And Berchtesgaden, Hitler's beautiful Alpine retreat, lies in virtual ruin, a place where proud ex-Nazi guardsmen are busily engaged as yard men, sweeping up the rubble which was left by R.A.F bombings.
BRADLEY AND SPAATZ RETURN
LA GUARDIA FIELD, N.Y.C. -- General Omar Bradley, Commander of the 12th Army Group, and General Carl Spaatz, Commander of the U. S. Strategic Air Forces in Europe, land in the U. S. from their victory abroad.
OPERATION P.L.U.T.O
The Pipe Line Under The Ocean was an engineering miracle by which the British pumped gasoline from the Isle of Wight to Cherbourg, France, a brief two months after D-Day. Huge drums floated and laid the specially prepared pipe line. Camouflaged pump stations at both ends of the line handled millions of gallons of oil each day, enabling the Allied mechanized armies to overrun Europe.
HYDROPONDICS IN TROPICS
ASCENSION ISLAND--On this lava ash island in the South Atlantic, fresh vegetables are raised in soil-less gardens composed of water and chemicals. The cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce compare favorably with any which are raised in the orthodox manner.
THE U.S.S. "LAKE CHAMPLAIN"
PORTSMOUTH, VA.--A giant new aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Lake Champlain, is christened and commissioned at the same ceremony. Mrs. Warren Austin, wife of the Vermont Senator, christens the vessel, after which Captain L. C. Ramsay is given its command.
