War talk ridiculed by carrier commander Sherman
Rear Adm. Frederick C. Sherman aboard a Western Pacific carrier flag ship dismissed talk of a protracted war lasting 14 to 20 years as ridiculous. He warned Japan faces no safe harbor and must choose unconditional surrender or extermination, as American air power targets Kyushu and other home areas. The exchange underscores belief that a quick, decisive victory is possible through relentless bomber attacks.

The 16,700 CIO United Rubber Workers strike that shut Goodyear Tire plants in Akron for 10 days is back in government hands as the National War Labor Board assumes jurisdiction over major strikes in Marion and Toledo.
