Representatives of the Unit

today began planning a world set
curity organization which all agreed
must be based on the "sovereign
equality" of large and small na-
tions alike and must be backed by
military forces, available promptly
and In strength.
Sen eta ry of State Cordoil Hull
opened the Initial session of the
historic conference at Dumbarton
Oaks in an address calling for
strong commitments to use force
when necessary, saying it. "must
be available promptly in adequate
measure and with certainty."
Need or Force Emphasized
Ambassador Andrei Gromyko,
chief Russian delegate, responding
to Hull, likewise emphasized the
need for force capable of prevent-
ing a recurrence of world wars.
While lie stressed the responsibility
for world security to be borne by
the great power because of their
strength, he said the foundation of
a world organization must be "the
principle of the sovereign equality
of all freedom loving countries."
Oromyko expressed the convic-
tion that tlie war-created unity

American submarines have sunk
18 more Japanese ships, Super-
Fortresses Jolted tiie home islands
of Japan with a double punch
yederday and General Douglas
MacArthur's persistent airmen fin-
ished off enemy aerial defenses
guarding the southern Philippines.
Making its first report on U. S.
submarine activities in 11 days,
tlie navy said these vessels had
been sunk:
One light cruiser, one escort ves-
sel. one large tanker, three medium
cargo transports, 11 medium cargo
vessels and two small cargo ves-
sels.
Good Results Reported
Tlie aerial blows inflicted in a
week-end series of assaults, from
Japan Itself to her empire’s out-
er rear lies, proved the oriental an-
tagonist was cntagled in an air
war potentially as devastating as
Europe has endured.
In the first daylight operation
against Japan proper since the
1942 Doolittle raid, the Super-Forts
of the 20th air force got "good’’
results in a strike at the in-
dustrial areas of Yawata on Kyu-
shu. Apparently it was the heaviest
rid yet against Japan.
A quick follow-up raid sent a
smaller force of B-29s over the
same northern Japan area Sun-
day night. The two raids cost the
Japs 15 planes destroyed. 13 prob-
ably destroyed and 12 damaged.
Tlie army said four B-29s were
lost.
Huge Fires Observed
Crews of the B-29s on the night
mission reported today that they
could sec fires from the previous
attack burning 30 minutes before
arriving over the target.
A Liberator sank a 14,200-toll
Japanese cruiser Saturday, Gen-
eral Joseph Stllwell's headquarters
