all too often even inadvertently the purveyors of information to the public are not prone to exercise any discrimination in regard to giving 'aid and comfort' to the enemy In this respect I feel very strongly that military considerations outweigh the satisfying of a great natural and proper curiosity 4tek 4 i These three beauty culturists had a prominent part in the war bond selling rally Sunday Left to right are Mrs Faye Garner 1 communiques and you know that the operations beyond r--777-7---- Midway are still in progress However I feel that the information at hand at this time permits me to give you a little bit of background that led up to these operations In the first place after General Doolittle's raid on 1 Japan General Marshall and I both felt knowing the Japanese psychology that some reprisal in kind was inevitable in order that they might "save face" Secretary Stimson knowing the Japa- nese has also emphasized this point The Coral Sea action which was another decisive setback to the Japanese was AD5111 an additional reason to be on guard The details of the Coral Sea action have not as yet been made public but you will shortly be in possession of all the essential facts After the Coral Sea action we lost touch with the heavy Japanese forces engaged They disappeared beyond the radius of our immediate means of reconnaissance But as you know and as the Japanese know we have considerable numbers of submarines sprinkled about the Western Pacific and they were able to give us a good deal of at least negative information ADMIRAL 'Looks Doctors' Turn to War Front at Convention KING KING CHUNGKING June 7 (rP)--Japanese forces throwing their entire strength into an attack on Chuhsien Chekiang Province have penetrated the walled city where the Chinese defenders engaged them in a hand-to-hand struggle it was announced Sunday night Before making their stab Saturday Into the town 120 miles from the starting point of their offensive at Hangchow the Japanese succeeded in taking one of their main objectives the airfield which they apparently believed would be used for United States air raids on Tokio As the war with Japan entered its sixtieth month Sunday the Chinese found themselves battling not only on the east in Chekiang but also in Kiangsi to the west and Hupeh to the north of Kiangsi where the Japanese were beginning a new drive They were also engaging in incessant skirmishes in Shansi in North China and combatting a Japanese naval bombardment of the Mamoi forts which guard the approaches to Foochow in Fukien to the south of Chekiang Chinese Offensive In Kiangsi where the Japanese were spearing toward a junction with columns in adjacent Chekiang the Chinese launched a sudden counter-offensive to the west of Nanchang the base of the Japanese thrust The Chinese were striving to prevent the junction which would mean entrapment for large Chinese forces Concerted attacks were made on Anyi Tehan Wushanpu and Juichang west of Nanchang and these were said to have achieved considerable success especially by Anyi and Wushanpu where many casualties were inflicted and war materials captured The Japanese driving southeast of Nanchang along the destroyed inter-provincial railway made continued progress however advancing from Likhiatu 30 miles from Nanchang and penetrating into Linchwan (Fuchow) 20 miles farther along the road Japs Push East Spread eastward of that main route the Japanese also pushed eastward of Tsinsien 25 miles southeast of Nanchang reached Chiangchulin and moved toward Tungsiang 20 more miles along the road Westward of the main route however in the formed by the Yu and Kan Rivers the Japanese were halted on a line running through Futowfent Tachlenlin and Takiangkow Chinese units were detouring to attack these forces from the rear and inflicted 500 casualties at one place The only news from the southwestern front along the Burma Road was that six Japanese planes have bombed Paoshan east of the Salween River War bond buying was the highlight Sunday of the opening session of the eleventh annual convention of the Texas Association of Accrtxlited Beauty Culturists at Hotel Texas At the opening luncheon program of the state meeting 61 association members from cities and towns throughout Texas subscribed fcr $7500 worth- of bonds The total sales almost doubled the amount subscribed at

Vernon Grizbard of Dallas spoke on sales methods The convention will elect officers Monday and the two-day meeting will be concluded with a dance at the Lake Worth Casino A breakfast for officers and committeemen was held Sunday morning at Colonial Club and there was a reception Sunday afternoon at the Texas I'LOOKING AT THE MAP' I Island chain this section of the Pacific is quiet" The mention of the loss of a 171'- ed States destroyer was the first rt: port of the sinking of an Amerir warship in the battle It also was to first mention of a Japanese destroyer being lost in the engagement The triumphant United Stau Navy continued to deal fire and vengeance to the remnants of powerful Japanese force from the opening attack on Midway Wedne-- day until contact was lost with fleeing enemy Jap Losses Enormous Admiral Nimitz fleet commandec significantly reported the sinking cf two and perhaps three Japanese aircraft carriers and the destruction (1' damage of 11 to 13 other enerry warships He added also significantly th-t all the planes on the two definitely sunken carriers were lost that one or two other enemy carriers were damaged and most of their aircraft gone In the middle of his communique he quipped that the victory had put the United States ''midway" in is job of reducing the Japanese naky to impotence Among the other Nipponese warships listed by Nimitz as casualticl of the great battle were three battleships damaged one heavily four cruisers damaged two badly and three transports damaged Some of the Japanese ships were so thoroughly battered that they may not be able to reach their bases Nimitz added and remarked that the battle was not yet over The American admiral reported one United States aircraft carrier had been hit and that some planes had been lost He said casualties among his personnel were light The fact that the only enemy ships definitely mentioned as sunk were aircraft carriers disclosed at least one detail of the battle Loss of the carriers and many planes leave the remaining force with reduced or possibly inadequate aerial protection Surface ships unprotected by planes often are choice targets for aerial bombers Full Reports Waited The full import of the American victory obviously can not be gauged until the battle is over and all reports are in but in some quarters it already is being regarded as one of the most significant naval clashes in modern war (Military observers at Allied headquarters in Australia viewed the Japanese defeat as removing temporarily at least the threat of an Australian invasion and as paving the way for a new front against Japan They considered it likely that Japanese losses were so great that the enemy no longer could control Western Pacific waters which virtually have been closed to the United Nations since December) There was no surprise for the Americans in the attack on Midway first reports of which were received Thursday Before the advance raiders even could begin to soften the defenses of the tiny island westernmost in the Hawaiian group the American defenders took command of the air From the heavy toll of Japanese carriers and planes it appeared that the United' States forces struck fast and hard at the air arm wresting from the enemy the particular superiority he had enjoyed in all his conquests of the southwest Pacific Troop transports never got close enough even to attempt a landing There was no question in the minds of observers here that the attack on Midway had as its ultimate objective Oahu Island site of Pearl Harbor The battle demonstrated the power of co-ordinated action by the armed forces News of the Japanese defeat was received joyously throughout the Hawaiian Islands I 'JIG-SAW PUZZLE' 1400 Texas Sons Take Navy Oath 12326 on Nation's Roll of 'Avengers' office of the navy recruiting station where most of the men had applied for duty Across the street to the northeast on the tenth floor of the Electric Building was the Coast Guard recruiting station which sent a number of the men who were inducted including 10 negroes to the ceremony There was no weeping little sadness as speaker after speaker told the recruits of their responsibility and praised the actions of the Pacific Fleet Optimism resulting from success reports of the past few days was rife "No one asks any longer what the navy is doing" Rev Frank Norris asserted "What we need and are getting in our navy is more of the spirit of Paul Jones and of Nelson" Msgr Joseph O'Donohoe told the recruits and the crowd that "We'll storm the enemy with prayer for your success" He delivered the invocation Rev Harrell Rea of First Christian Church the benediction Mayor McCrary who presided told the group "When you get into the navy you're going to have a feeling you've never known before" An ex-navy man was graduated from the United States Naval Academy at sang "Anchors Aweigh" solo over the public address system and stated that even yet the song never fails to give him a pickup and a thrill Platform guests included District Attorney Brown George Smith president of the Brotherhood of Loyal Americans and Pat Kveton Dallas judge advocate of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Also present on the speaker's platform were Rev Charles Smid Denton Rev A Pieper rector of Holy Cross Hall St Edwards University Rev Francis Meisch assistant at St Patrick's Church Rev Sebastian Rubi Wichita Falls: Rev Paul Charcut Pilot Point and Rev Frank O'Hara St Edwards University all members of the Catholic clergy Maj Seth Barwise of the Texas Defense Guard third air squadron stationed here spoke briefly of his appreciation of the occasion Lieutenant Norris stated that immediately alter the Dec 7 Hawaiian bombing "Pearl Harbor" became a watchword and that "you who are being sworn in today are the Avengers of Pearl Harbor The navy welcomes you You can protect your heritage with all your might and main" He charged the recruits to remember that those who went on before did not die in vain As a parting gift to the recruits James Case of the Gideon Society presented each man with a New Testament "A scant four days before Pearl Harbor we placed one of these volumes in the hands of every man in the Pacific Fleet" he said Members of the Navy Mother's Club went to the buses on which the men were leaving to give them a final word of cheer and to hand them cigarets and candy Present too were relatives and immediate friends of most Music at the induction ceremony was furnished by the WPA band The negro enlistees from the Coast Guard were the first of

was apparent shortly after the Coral Sea action that the Japs would have to go somewhere and do something Looking at the map almost anybody could see that among our various important outposts Dutch Harbor and Midway offered them the best chance of an action either in the nature of a raid or an invasion with some hope of success or of a nature that in case of a reverse would allow them to retire without too great loss or complete annihilation At the same time we were fully aware that they might renew the actions in the Coral though they had recently been "stung" there So to this extent we were prepared for the assault upon Midway and recognized that Alaska might also be attacked You know in a general way of the line of communications we have to protect to Australia But you probably do not realize the large forces that it takes to protect a line of that length All of these several factors had to be evaluated Decision to act had to be taken on the basis of "calculated risk" "I assume that you and your colleagues know that the piecing of information the manner of a jig-saw common military practice which we ourselves carry out to the best of our ability It is not necessary to complete the 'jig-saw puzzle' in order to gain vital information but only to fit together a key part or parts thereof in order to become possessed of important military information "Certain circumstances have prevailed during the last few weeks particularly in regard to onerations in the Pacific which have made it advisable to withhold information from the public There is now no reason why release should not be made of actions which took place prior to May 1 except as to how the planes which attacked Japan were enabled to reach because we have every reason to believe that the Japanese do not yet know how it was done "It appears that information relating to the so-called 'Battle of the Coral Sea' can soon be released perhaps during the coming week depending upon certain developments related to the actions now going on to the westward of Midway Island" False Rumor AU ccratj gathe ion 3 the i Jerry Comn James 1 prima 1 ernor 1 cept I Hov I die I a state by 1 hopef
