Sees Dead Japanese ’

Cmdr, John T. Hayward, Great Neck, L. I, who commanded the , | Liberator force, said he saw many Japanese dead, at least 15 to 18 burned-out twin-engined bombers and more than a dozen Zeros on the ground. The task force, he said, sank an enemy tanker athwart the only enfrance to the lagoon and set fire 10 a number of installations. “The Japs were lying unburied where they fell, and wreckage was everywhere,” he said. “Apparently they made no attempt to repair the morning's wreckage.”

Photographs Are Taken

The Liberator crews fneluded Lt. Allen Seaman, Coronado, Calif., who fought at Bataan, Also aboard, as a passenger, was Capt. C. W. Styer, S8an Francisco, Cal, senior . American submarine commander in the Pacific who went along “to see what_an air raid is like.” He took photographs which were used to guile the carrier planes in their second attack the following morning. Hayward said reconnaissance before the attack indicated the Japanese had built up Wake island “considerably” in the last six months. The Japanese, he said, had built trenches and tank-traps along .the beaches against a possible landing. Also in evidence was the hulk of a Japanese destroyer sunk by the American . marines during their heroic defense of the island in December, 1041.
