Japs Say Fleet Fleet In Action as B-29’s Attack Formosa For Second Time.

There was no immediate word of

their last raid on Formosa Friday with another Saturday, but it was quite possible. On the outcome of the air-sea battle off Formosa may hinge in part the length of the war in the

May Shorten War Tokyo, claiming officially that 40 American warships already had been sunk or damaged in the alrsea battle, said a “crippling” blow had been dealt the American fleet assigned the task of landing in-

vasion troops in the Philippines. Premier Gen. Kuniaki Koiso said that “the long-awaited opportunity of Japan's battle in the Pacific has

was developing. Dispatches Jittery A series of jittery and. contradictory reports poured quit over the

Japanese radio and in dispatches|guage

from Tokyo quoted by the Berlin radio, Adm. Kichisaburo Nomura was quoted as calling the continuing engagement “the turning point for the offensive in the war in the Paeific” with the Americans seeking to isolate the Philippines in order to clear the way for an offensive. Nomura said the “Japanese victory” was not sufficient to throw American strategy out of gear. Koiso, however, asserted that “the decisive battle that had been foreseen has finally taken place” with what he called “annihilatory blows on the great enemy aeronaval task force.” Claim Annihilation Radio Berlin in’ a Tokyo dispatch quoted the Japanese governor-gen-eral of Formosa, Adm. Hasegawa, as saying “there is now no longer any question of defense against the British-American large-scale attack, but of the annihilation of the enemy fleet assembled before the island.” Another Berlin report claimed the American task force “has practically been wiped out.” Adm. Chester W. Nimits confirmed in a communique yesterday that “strong Japanese air formations were counter-attacking the 3d fleet, which sent its non-stop offensive against Japan's inner bases through its fifth straight day Friday (Saturday, Tokyo time) with punishing new raids on Formosa and Luzon, the latter the main island in the Philippines.

Fight Is Continuing Though not mentioning the presence of any Japanese surface warships Nimitz added: “This fight is continuing. Further details will be released as they become available.”

Radio Tokyo reported that the Japanese fleet, aided by land-based |

planes, had put the 3d fleet to flight east of Formosa and was attacking it in pursuit. “The Japanese air force is in close teamwork with surface units now attacking the doomed task

Interrupts Broadcast

Tokyo, in reporting earlier that its surface units had gone into-ac-tion, interrupted an English lanbroadcast to the U. 8. to say: “Word has just been received that the Japanese naval fleet is now in pursuit of the fleeing enemy task force; . . , The Japanese fleet has at last commenced its activities, after waiting patiently for the op-

enemy task forces.” Despite official American silence on Japanese claims that its fleet was seeking battle, it was evident that at least a major air-sea battle had developed between Japanese planes and the 3d fleet with control on the northern.approaches to the Philippines at stake.

Giving Money Is A Lot Easier Than

Ringing Doorbells

Ask the first man you meet this question: “Which would you rather do: Take two weeks of your time, making calls and soliciting subscriptions to the United War and Community F und ; issor s 3 3 escape that task by giving the Fund a little money?” » You know the answer. » Nothing is quite so hard and unpleasant as sacrificing your personal comfort and convenience, even in a worthy and necessary cause: It’s a lot easier to give money than to give time and energy “‘ringing doorbells” for two weeks: » But somebody has to ring the doorbells. So, some 5,000 of our town’s good citizens are doing it for us. Our compli. ments to them. » The rest of us can plan to make their

call pleasant when they come 3 : : to be

as we can;

ready to give promptly and generously ::3 to make their self-sacrificing work as easy

» And itis good to remember that those 5,000 workers do more than give their time and energy. They join with the rest

of us, and give their money, too.

> You kuow all about this Fund and its

necessities; It cares for the physical needs of our community’s unfortunates through 45 worthy and accredited relief agencies: And to the customary needs of the past is now added the duty of service and help

for our men and women still fighting our

war abroad, and those who will be coming home in ever-increasing numbers;

» The time is now—October 9-21. Why

not open the wallet, unleash the check-

book? The “doorbell ringers’ are coming.

Let’s not make them ring twice.
