BORS I. N. 8. Staff Correspondent Washington, July 15 ins) The navy's official summary on the Battle of Midway left no doubt today it was S. defenses hi the Pacific as well as on the west coast from Alaska to Pan ama have been reinforced.

Japanese losses in the furious three day battle in the mid Pacific were listed by the navy communique as four aircraft carriers sunk and at least 16 other warships and Auxiliary vessels destroyed or damaged, against U. S. losses of one destroyer sunk and the carrier Yorktown "put out of action." In addition, Japanese personnel losses were set at 4,800 killed or drowned against 307 American officers and men lost, and enemy plane losses were put at 275 while this nation apparently lost 33. Nip Attack Foreseen Tucked away in the battle report was the statement that prior to the Midway battle, American officials anticipated a Nipponese attack in force possibly on Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama Canal or even the Pacific coast and that preparation were made accordingly. Indicating the brilliant strategy which led to the complete rout of an enemy invasion force of at least 80 ships, the communique said: "The enemy had learned In tha BatUe of the Coral Sea that the sea approaches to Australia were strongly defended.

It, appeared logical, therefore, to assume that the enemy's next thrust would come in some other area possibly Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama Canal zone, or even u.e Pacific coast of the United States. "In accordance with this estimate, United States naval surface forces were deployed in the area between Midway and the Aleutian Islands. Bases in the outlying islands (presumably hi the midPaclflo were reinforced by long range, shore based aircraft. Similar precautionary measures also were taken on the Pacific coast and in the vicinity of the Panama Canal." L. S.

Master of Pacifio Despite the fact that since the Battle of Midway the Nipponese have ocoupied the Aleutian Islands of Attu and Kiska, naval experts nava contended that the smashing American victory in the midPacliic gave the U. S. virtual mastery of the vast ocean area from Dutch Harbor to Australia. A battle chart issued with the navy communique gave a clear picture of how American forces set the trap for the Japanese defeat off Midway with ar. onslaught that may have paved the way for the decline of Nippon's sea supremacy except in home waters The diagram showed that on June 3 a gigantic Jap occupation force protected by warships was sighted approaching Midway Island from the west while the next day a Japanese carrier force was seen steaming toward the outpost from the northwest.

Jap Armada Split Before these two invislon arma das could converge on Midway the American carrier force swept hi from the Aleutian area, split the Jap force in two and U. S. army, navy and marine corps pilots in land and carrier based planes riddled the enemy fleet with shells and torpedoes in day and night attacks. Although the Coral Sea battle resulted in the sinking and damaging of 37 Japanese warships and auxiliary vessels, the Midway Island victory was greater in scope and importance because more important units of the Jap fleet were destroyed and crippled.
