Saturday night for publication lunday. hey Attack ren G. Magnuson Wash.) reports that Japanese naval forces escaped destruction at Dutch Harbor because a standing navy order was not interpreted "liberally" by the army, but "there is no possibility of this happening again. Failure on the part of one army-command to i nterpret liberally standing naval orders regarding enemy contact resulted in a delay which gave the enemy an opportunity to remove itself," said Magnuson who returned yesterday from an aerial inspection of Alaska bases." A navy PBY patrol plane had a Japanese carrier under continual observation soon after the attack on Dutch Harbor and its crew awaited the arrival of the army's land-based bombers to make the kill, Magnuson said he had been informed. "The army command, however, believed its orders were not broad enough to warrant sending out a bombing force at this stage of the battle without definite instructions," Magnuson said.

"As a result, army planes remained on the ground and before naval authorities could straighten the matter out, the Japs had slipped away from observation."

It has a wing spread of 133 feet as compared to the Lancaster's 102 and the Stirling's 99. Experts said it was believed Germany did not have many super-Hcinkels now.

Kelly, strong Bennett backer. He said the rank and file of Brooklyn residents is behind President Roosevelt and others who have chosefl Mead. The general Democratic voters, he said, "feel more strongly than ever that we must have in the Governor's chair in Albany a man whose loyalty to the President and support of his war policies cannot be challenged. That man is Jioi Mead. I'm for him, and I'm confident that most of my fellow Brooklyn delegates, whose loyalty to our leader, Frank Kelly, can no more be challenged than my own, will also be with Senator Mead when thevotes are counted." Kelly, however, declared last nieht that no district leader in the borough has indicated any tendency toward additional defections.

And Farley, certain of Bennett's nomination, reiterated his statement that Mead's name will not even be brought up at the convention. It was pointed out that delegates now pledged to the Senator, when they realize Bennett's strength, will swing over to the Attorney General's support. Meanwhile, Alex Rose.
