A sheet of flame rolled over the cruiser's decks and the vessel began to list. At almost the same moment, bombs connected with an adjacent tanker and another fire raged.

"The ship was swinging sharply to the left when a big bomb, probably a thousand-pounder, hit the stern. Somehow the cruiser managed to complete the turn, then two more explosions rocked the vessel amidships.

There was no antiaircraft fire from that cruiser. That baby was dead in the water and really in bad shape." At Kwajalein, Hampton's squad had been detailed to attack scores of brilliant flares and winking float lights. They came in singly, in pairs, in threes and in fours. Even the bright moonlight was on their side, but they failed miserably. This attack might be likened to a movie scene of pioneer days with Indians circling a convoy of covered wagons.

Further indication that it will be a naval war was seen in current reports that the U. S.

Most of the Lt. Cmdr. William S. Guest of Rome, admitted candidlv however, that the Marshalls wili be a "tough nut to crack" whenever the United States attempts to extend its mid-Pacific conquests. One Pilot Saved Guest said the pilot of one of the five planes lost in the operation was saved.

(Admiral Chester W. Nimitz' communique Wednesday said that one American warship suffered minor damage in the raid which resulted in the damaging or sinking of 10 enemy ships, including two light cruisers, and the shooting down of 72 aircraft.) "Our object in attacking th Marshalls was to destroy aircraft and shipping which had been moved in as a result of our capture of the Gilberts," Guest said. "We went right in under tht enemy guns and aircraft for a long period. We effected complete surprise much to our surprise. Tht Japs apparently were too engrossed in what we were doing in the Gilberts at the moment.

"We launched our aircraft within a short distance of Roi and remained within range of their search planes for three days." One Main Sortie Guest said the American plan made one main sortie, with all-torpedo planes, divebombers and fighters going in together. The two cruisers and an oiler at Roi were hit and sunk within a matter of minutes. The oiler, about a vessel, exploded, sending flame and smoke thousands of feet into the air. He said the aircraft were over the targets, including land installations, for about an hour. "Our boys struck a hornet' nest as the attack progressed," he said.

"Zeros appeared at about 9,000 feet. It was amazing that we lost only a few planes five in all. "The antiaircraft was intense but we swept the targets quickly. "The cargo transports appeared to be loaded, according to the pilots. They were undoubtedly engaged in reinforcing the Marshalls.

"I am convinced from what we saw that the Marshalls will be a tough nut to crack." Guest did not estimate the number of Japanese planes destroyed on the ground, although he said all seaplanes on the ramp at Ebeye (Kwajalein atoll) were destroyed along with hangars. around us circling just out of 15 or so Zeros which managed to plane production and a 215 per cent increase in naval vessel production.

It was like a American staff officer who participated in the Cairo conferences revealed Tuesday that the Allies are planning to defeat the Japs by "other means" than costly landings on the shores of Honshu, the main Japanese island. The officer, who participated in framing of whatever Pacific strategy was mapped at Cairo, said plans call for encircling Japanese bases, cutting them off from their supplies, blasting them by plane and navy bombardments, and then landing troops and seizing them, making the operations relatively cheap.

Nazis Expect NAZIS MAY HAVE TO ABANDON U-BOAT TACTICS, SAY EXPERTS WASHINGTON, Friday, Dec. 10 (UP) Naval experts said today the heavy losses inflicted by Alliedyea and air forces on the German U-boat fleet may compel the Nazis to abandon completely their submarine wolf-pack tactics. This possibility gained strength after a joint British-American announcement that in November for the second successive month the number of U-boats sunk exceeded the number of their victims.

Furthermore, U-boats were said to have sunk fewer Allied merchant ships in November than any other month since May, 1940. Experts said the speedy development and application of new Allied counter-measures evidently foiled a threatened U-boat resurgence in the Atlantic a comeback which the Germans hoped to accomplish through new submarine weapons and tactics. These innovations involved the continued use of pack attacks. But now, it was said, because of its heavy losses in group operations the U-boat fleet may return to its old hit-and-run tactics, spreading its forces over a wider area. By the same token, this might force the Allies to spread their anti-submarine forces.

The joint British-American report noted that U-boats, which heretofore have been daring and aggressive, especially while fighting in packs, now are growing more careful, thereby decreasing the chances for Allied retaliation. It also was noted in connection with the successes against U-boats that the fact the Allies now have bases in the Azores, gives them a new advantage.

The London Daily Herald said today that Gen. Sir Bernard L. Mont, gomery had written a book on "the use of airpower" which "shook the War Office's older generals."

In this joint warfare the air force must if anything have the bigger say." To Lt. Cmdr.
