LONDON. May 2?r—(AP)-—A strong U. S. task force spearing be- hind Marcus Island struck that Japanese outpost bastion only 1,200 miles from Tokyo in u two-day as- sault during the weekend, the Jap- anese High Command announced today, and later broadcasts suggest- ed the defenders were caught nap- ping by a decoy force feinting from the east.

There has been no Allied an- rrouncsment of‘ such all attack.

Tokyo said 132 carrier-based planes attacked in seven waves Saturday and Sunday, but ack- nowledged only "negligible" dem- age and claimed 32 planes were shot down.

Marcus Island itself is 1,200 miles southeast of Tokyo, but the task force pierced rnuch closer to the Nlpponese mainland in east of the Bonin Islands to at- tack Marcus from the West. The

‘the commodious Riverside Apart- ments. on Water Street, is likely to be acquired for the use of the Navy League, it was reported unofficial- ly yesterday.

Questioned last night Chief Jus- tlce Thane A. Campbell, president of the League said that the River- side Apartments was one of the several properties being consider- ed. However, it had one outstand- ing advantage in that s. lot at the rear sloped downward to the water- front. A building could be erected on the lot for the storage of boats and other gear by the Sea Cadets and for use as a recreation hall. However. the executive was still open to suggestions from other owners of properties.

Before anything definite is done the approval of the Department of Naval services must be secured. the Chief Justice said. A man will be sent here to inspect the choice of the local executive.

The Prince Edward Island Divi- sion of the League was re-organ- ized recently. At that time it was announced that every effort would be made to obtain Sliltliblg cuart- ers for a Navy League hostel and flilgl other purposes as soon as pos- s e.

UITAWA. May fl-(CH-Ag- riculture Minister Gardiner said today in the Commons that the export of Canadian livestock to the United Stairs simply would corn- plicatc a handling problem already severe in that country.

Answering questions by opposi- tion members during discussion oi his department's war appropria- tion estimates. the minister said:

1. lie was glad to hear members state the real difficulty was in handling the food produced by Ca- nada. Earlier in the war they had

be produced in the amounts requir-

ed.

2. Marketing records indicated that farmers had not slaughtered their brood sows as some opposition members had suggested. The per- centage of high quality hogs mark- eted compared favorably with other years.

s. Farmers had not killed off their breeding stock in the fall of 1942i. because today there were so many hogs that the problem was in slaughtering and processing them.

4. Farmers‘ representatives hsd been pieced on government boards ea-riy in the war. They were men born and raised on farms who had been trained for administrative work. The opposition seemed to think that when a man was em- ployed by the government he ceas- ed to be s. farmer. The president of the Federation of Agriculture. (l-i. i-f, Hannam of Ottawa) was chair- man of the advisory committee to the food board in consfnnt consult- ation with agriculture department officials.
