the Marianas, the west by the Philippines, the south by Palau and the north by Japan itself. Nimitz told his press conference that he hoped the Japanese fleet would remain in the area and “give us a chance to get at them.” “I don’t know anything else we can do to provoke fleet action,” he _|said. “We have already attacked their key position in the Western Pacific. :

Explains Lack of News

“Unfortunately, I don't control their movements. If I did, then there would be a fight.” He explained the lack of up-to-date news on the naval situation by saying - that developments in the war at sea must of necessity remain obscure for long periods.

“In the fog of war, we know the Japanese are confused and I like to wait until the operation is completed,” he said. “Then you see, Saipan is a very tough operation. We felt and hoped the Japs would attempt to interfere—for that reason, we went in in great strength.” Nimitz disclosed that he intends to seize other baces, in addition to Saipan, in the Marianas to challenge effectively Japanese control of the last big area of the western Pacific they still dominate. Possession of the Marianas, he said, would be “money in the bank” to protect operations hundreds of miles westward toward the Philippines and China and northward toward Japan itself. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces will be able to cover the southern portion from bases in the Southwest Pacific, he said. Though Nimitz did not specify his next objectives in the Marianas, he issued a communique ' several Nours liter disclosing that American alr and surface forces had bombarded airfields on Tinian island Just south of Saipan Monday.

advance kept the Germans reeling back constantly. “The area held by the enemy is steadily diminishing,” the spokesman said this evening,

war correspondent, reported from the vicinity of Cherbourg that German demolition squads were blowing up the harbor installations and quays this afternoon. As further evidence that the Nazis were preparing to yield the prize port, he said some sources reported that they already had started pulling out northwestward on the Cape De La Hague.

The American spearhead driving northward toward the path of any such evacuation attempt seized Teurtheville-Hague, four miles southwest of Cherbourg and five miles from the sea. Another column driving in against Cherbourg from the southeast reached a point well north of Valognes, known as La L The vanguard of Lt. Gen. Omar M. Bradley's army closing in on Cherbourg had crashed through the German first defense line, and was reported approaching the city’s outskirts in steady gains rolled up under cover of a heavy artillery bombardment. United States artilery, including the 155-millimeter Long Toms which had been shelling Cherbourg, set fire to a forest southeast of Cherbourg in a bid to smoke otit the Nazis blocking the approaches to the port. American troops spurted six miles northward from captured Valognes, 10 miles southeast of Cherbourg, during the night in an advance which Gorrell described as #very fast,” indicating that the resistance on that flank had crumbled.

were humiliated. The blast by the 72-year-old secretary of state could have had no other effect than to make a chastened man of Lyttelton, who boasted in his address yesterday

that “frankness bordering on indiscretion is the right way to treat our American allies.” He then went on to say that Japan “was provoked into attacking the Americans at Pearl Harbor.” :

Even after Lyttelton had issued a

should not be construed as implying that “Japan was forced to make war on America,” Hull took the unusual step of issuing a formal statement to comment on a speech. Lyttelton’s statement, Hull said, was “entirely in error as to the facts and failed to state the true attitude of the United States . . . (which was) actuated by the single policy of self-defense.” “Japan for years had notoriously pursued a program of widest con{quest . , . and finally, in 1941, she launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor,” he said. Look to Lend-Lease

While the state department was angry at what it considered an inexcusable indiscretion, lend-lease officials privately were concerned lest the controversy affect the lendlease appropriation now pending in congress. Britain has been a major

But the violent reaction here continued and Lyttelton's office last night felt compelled to issue another statement. This time it termed as an “obvious misunderstanding” any suggestions that Lyttelton had meant to say Japan was forced to make war on the United States. Lyttelton, it said, meant that the Japanese had regarded American aid to Britain in the war against Japan's |X axis partner—Germany—as a provocafion for their “unjustified and treacherous attack at Pearl Harbor.”

LONDON, June 21 (U.P.).—Capt. Oliver Lyttelton, British minister or of production, apologized in commons today for extemporaneous|wg remarks which yesterday aroused |X.¥ official indignation in the United! States and asked the house “to believe that the fault was one of expression and not of intention.” Explaining his remark that the United States provoked Japan into war, Lyttelton said he only was

Allison Announces -

THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL AIRCRAFT ENGINE

Now it can be told. The world’s most powerful aircraft engine is going into America’s new planes. * It is an Allison liquid-cooled engine—of approximately 3000 horsepower. It is already in production—ina ° new Allison plant which vies in size with many bomber plants. * Virtually all the engine’s parts are the same as in other Allison engines. Thus, plane crews around the world are equipped to service it right now. % Like all Allison engines this one is economical with fuel — gives long range. It increases the power of single-engine planes by hundreds of horsepower — gives our fighters more than a third greater power to work with than the huskiest engine they had before. In their hands it will be a mighty weapon to use in striking their climax blows against America’s enemies the world around.
