So last night, in territory which is still considerably isolationist, Mr. Dewey waded into it. The Republican presidential ,candidate repeated his “no reservations” pledge and went on— “That” means, of course that it (U. 8. participation) must not be subject to a reservation that wotld require our representative to return to congress for authority every time he had to make a decision. Obviously congress; and only congress has the constitutional power to determine what quota of force it will make available, and what discretion it will give our representative to use that force.” But, it has been charged, even if elected Mr. Dewey could not do

Carrier Princeton Lost After Attack By Shore-Based Enemy Aircraft; 134 Officers, 1227 Men Saved.

By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent

PEARL HARBOR, Oct. 25.—The American 3d feel has sunk at'least one Japanese aircraft carrier, two cruisers ‘and a destroyer and damaged a dozen other warships, ins cluding five or six battleships, in a showdown battle with three enemy naval forces for control of Philippines waters, 3 it was revealed today. - “General action is.continuing,” Adm. Chester W. Nimitz; commander of the Pacific fleet, announced in a communique disclosing that probably the greatest air-sea battle of th war had been joined northwest and north of invaded Leyte island.

MacArthur's Men Gain

Other developments in the quickening battle of the Pacific included:

1 Gen. Douglas MacArthur's invasion troops on Leyte captured their third airfield in a thrust nearly a third of the way across the central Philippines island and also liberated 14 villages and hamlets. v 2 American B-29 Superfortresses again carried the war to Japan itself with a raid today, Tokyo time, on “stra=

tegic targets” on Kyushu, southernmost of the enemy’s home islands and heart of his steel industry. Tokyo said

men were vescusd, Nimitz said. He listed no other Americar losses. The communique said Adm, William F. Halsey’ fleet, at last bringing the Japanese fleet to battle, so had sunk at least one large aircraft carrier, severely dams two others, and bombed, torpedoed or strafed five or battleships, two cruisers and four destroyers, as well . other undisclosed craft.

Japs Admit Loss / Japiheie imperial headquarters voluntarily added to the toll by acknowledging in a communique that two of th cruisers and one destroyer had been sunk, but said nothi of the aircraft carrier and did not mention any damage to other fleet units. Nimitz's communique indicated that contact betwee the opposing forces so far had been limited to aircraft, but Tokyo said surface units also were in action and a German Transocean dispatch from the Japanese capital reported the fleets closed to within 25 miles of each other at the climax of the battle this morning, Tokyo time. : Some 150 Japanese planes were shot down during t 3 enemy attack which resulted in the sinking of the Princeton, Nimitz said, but other enemy aircraft losses were not listed. The Japanese communique claimed that 16 American ships had been sunk or damaged including aircraft cars riers, two cruisers, one destroyer and “more than” four transports, were sunk, Tokyo said, while two more carriers, a battleship and two cruisers were Te damaged. Enemy Ships Sighted Two of the enemy naval forces were sighted yesterday Philippines time (Monday, Pearl Harbor time) sailing through the central Philippines, one proceeding through the Sibuyan sea about 100 miles northwest of Leyte and the other in the Sulu sea about 150 miles southwest of Leyte

Roaring out to the attack, Halsey's carrier-borne planes damaged three or four battleships in the Sibuyan sea with bombs and torpedoed at least one of them. One of 10 cruisers in the force also was torpedoed, but, there wert no reports of damage to 13 accompanying destroyers. 5 The entire enemy. force ited in the Sulu sea southwest of Negros island was damaged in varying degree by Halsey's planes. Two battleships were hit with bombs and a cryiser and four destroyers were strafed severely, Nimitz said. Late yesterday afterngon, search planes sighted the third enemy force between the Philippines and Formosa moving south from Japanese home waters. It was brought to action today, Philippines time. “Reports which are as yet incomplete indicate that severe damage has been inflicted on the enemy, that at least one of his large carriers had been sunk and’ that two others have been damaged severely,” Nimitz’s communique said.

Princeton Is Sunk It reported that Japanese
