Jap Fleet Is Whipped; 14 Warships Knocked Out

The Tokyo radio fell silent on the progress of the battle after broadcasting a lone Domei dispatch yesterday claiming that a 45,000-ton Iowa class. battleship had been sunk near Guam last Friday and that two 35,000-ton North Carolina battleships, three 27,000-ton Essex class carriers and one 10,000-ton Independence class carrier had been damaged in other actions. Nimitz’'s communique disclosed that carrier-based reconnaissance planes of Spruance’s fleet sighted the Japanese fieet sprawled over a large expanse of ocean midway between the Marianas and Luzon, northernmost of the Philippines, Monday afternoon. “Aircraft of our fast carrier task force were immediately ordered to attack and made contact with the enemy before dusk,” the communique said. Refererice to a “fast carrier force” in the 5th fleet was taken as an indication that it included crack ships of the new Essex and Independence classes mentioned by the Japanese. The carrier force supporting the Saipan invasion previously had been described as the largest in history and also was revealed to include battleships.

While the Germans had been or-

dered by Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt to fight to the death for Cherbourg and many were prepared to follow orders, front dispatches indicated that the quality of the resistance might not be uniformly high. Henry T. Gorrell, Press war correspondent outside the city, said a stiff fight was in prospect.

was assessed here as a sizeable victory, but observers tempered this with notation that the long-desired showdown battle with the enemy's fleet still remains to be fought. “Navy operations in the Marianas,” Stimson said, “have carried the war into an inner_Japanese defense line at a point 1450 miles from Tokyo. It is natural that the Japanese should not allow us a foothold in this area without a mighty struggle; for a foothold in turn means American domination of the islands to the north and south.” Observers meanwhile emphasized that the Japanese formation encountered between the Philippines and the Marianas was strong, but hardly the whole or a major portion of the enemy's navy. While greatly pleased by the results of the engagement, naval observers also noted some disappoint ment among those who had hoped that a large part of the enemy fleet could have been disposed of in this engagement, They pointed out that of the ships definitely known to be sunk only one was a combat ship, a new type Hayataka class carrier.

In Washington, Adm. Ernest J. King, commander of the U. S. fleet, disclosed that the 3d fleet under the new command of Adm. William F. Halsey also was in the Central Pacific. ‘ American marines and army assault troops on Saipan island pushed farther north along the west shore of Magicienne bay and “made progress” against an enemy strong point at Nafutan point, at the southeastern tip of the island. “Severe fighting” continued, Nimitz’ communique said. (Radio Tokyo, in a broadcast recorded by United Press in San Francisco, said that Japanese troops, supported by a (“powerful tank column,” were delivering crushing blows in 'what it called a counter-landing move that carried into the rear of American positions. The Japanese also have been bombarding the Americans from positions on Tinian island, | just to the south, the broadcast said.)
