Battle Says Adm. Mitscher
By Kebert Geigerj
ABOARD VICE ADM. MARC. A. MlTSCHER'S FLAGSHIP,
Western Pacific, March 4-(delayed)-P)jIn the next six months
anything can happen in the. Pacific, said Vice Adm. Marc A.
Mitscher commander of famed fast carrier task force 58, because
the Japanese admirals have 'changexi. their tactics, still have a
strong naval force and air force and the Japanese afmy is
scarcely touched.
Mitscner expressea tnese opin-1
ions today while sitting on his fa
mous windward view deck cnair
aboard his flagship as we were r
turning from th second successful
Tokyo carrier plane strike, Feb-
ruary
"It -is true the enemy has not
attacked us on this strike with the
to displayed in many other
attacks he has made against this
task, force," Mitscher said.
Defeat Net Certain
"This does not mean that his
usea tnem against us tms trip ana
that alone Is evidence of a change
m tactics.
"Naval strategists agree the Jap-
anese fleet now cauld not over-
whelm even a fraction of our ever
growing fleet. Its only sanctuary
uuw w uic nuaiiu seas vm. uac frxu i
pire. tt has been driven from the
South China waters.
"I am not ready yet to say we
can move at' any tlnie ' without
fear of losses 'In Jap 'waters, but
well give the Japs a good battle
and that's what will end the war.
"It wasnt always this way. but
it is very pleasant with the Jap I

uica. wiuwuk ujing 10 ao .any

boasted" they can expend 10.000.-

of the present situation.
"They'd probably like to aet

"Even assuming that the wrong

that their names were improperly

does not follow that, by reason
thereof. !the election would be null
