develop, leaders of the- opposition
brought into Monday's twenty

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as one
of the sponsors of the bills.

US Figlilera Win
Against Long
Odds Battle
WASHINGTON, M i y
Desperate counter-attacks bjj;
the Japanese in an attempt t
regain control of Attu appeared
in the making Monday as tha
navy announced a second larci
scale enemy air assault on th
litUe Aleutian island.
' Twice great flights of twin
engine enemy bombers have
roared Into the Attu area. Twice
they have been turned back.! Each
time, presumably, they were pre
vented from accomplishing their
objective battering of Ameri
can land troops who are steadily
wiping out Japanese forces on
Attu.
Raids on 2 Days ' i1 , ,
The raids came on successive
days, the navy reported, w i t H
about 15 bombers participating
Saturday, and 16 Sunday.
In each Instance they met op
position that apparently was so
strong that their missions were
interrupted. Two naval units, at
tacked by the first flight of bomb
ers, turned them back. Army
lightning .fighter planes rose to
battle when the second group was
reported nearing Attu. The light
nings possibly came from the
American airfield at Amchitka,
some 200 miles to the east, in
dicating that efficient systems
have been set up on Attu to call
for air support when needed.
Fighters Win
' The fighters went into the aer
ial battle on the short end cf a
long odds engagement, but came
out definitely on top. Five of the
16 bombers were shot down in
fierce fighting. Two American
fighters were lost, one shot down,
the other listed as missing. One
pilot was rescued. . "
Whence-the bombers cams re
mained In doubt Many observers
believe -they-were based at Para-
mushiro, a Japanese sea and air
base 630 miles to the west in the
Kurilo islands. The possibility ex
ists, also, that they might have
come from Japanese carriers hid
ing behind fog banks in the north
Pacific, j i " 1 -
Sea Battle Possible
In the event they were, carrier-
based, a naval engagement is at
least a possibility, for it is un
likely carriers would ' be'; there
without escorting, warships.
The extent of US naval forces in
the area never has been officially
disclosed. However, the Japanese
in broadcasts have claimed with
out confirmation to have damag
ed seven United States vessels in
air and submarine activity. Those,
claims assert that one battleship,
two cruisers, a destroyer and two
warships of unspecified type have
been damaged and one destroyer
sunk. ;
Land Fight Pressed
Meantime in land fighting on
Attu, the navy said, American
brces are continuing hard pres
sure on beleaguered enemy units.
"A number of enemy points of
resistance have been liquidated,
the communique added.
