Keenile (United Pnw War Editor) American land, sea and air forces were engaged today in flanking Truk, keystone of Ja pan's Pacific defenses, in the wake of the initial heavy assault on the big naval base itself. The beachheads established on Eniwetok, in the outermost Mar shall 750 miles northeast of Truk, were being extended rapid ly, it was believed at Pearl Har bor In the absence of official an ' nouncement since the first com munique of Admiral Chester W, Nlmltz. On the other main world battle- fronts, the Russians appeared to have the Germans in full retreat toward the Baltic states, and in Italy the heaviest fighting since the allied landing was reported In progress at the Anzio beachhead. Big Force Used The invasion of Eniwetok, like that of Kkajaleln, apparently was carried out with overwhelming force, the landing of marines and soldiers being covered by battle ships, carriers, cruisers, destroy ers, and swarms of bombers and fighters. The feeling in Hawaii was that complete occupation of Eniwetok would be accomplished quickly, perhaps with less difficulty than that of Kwajaleln. Possession of Eniwetok would give the United States another excellent naval anchorage and an airplane strip with a runway nearly a mile long. It would insure the further iso lation of the remaining atolls in the Marshalls and Wake, to the north, and bring land-based bomb ers within much better range of Truk. Situation Obscured The situation at Truk still was obscured by official radio silence. but Secretary of Navy Frank Knox called the attack an impor tant victory whose full results will not be known until radio re ports can be sent. He disposed of the Japanese attempt to mane it appear that the Americans had tried to Invade Truk, saying that It was strictly an air blow by car-tier-based forces. It was assumed in Hawaii that the American force was retiring after - delivering the smash at Truk. The task fleet's report was awaited eagerly to learn what damage was - done to Japanese warships there and particularly to Important shore installations, such as dry docks, naval repair establishments and air bases. Big Convoy Hit In complete co-ordination with the operations In the central Pa cific, American forces proceeded with the flanking of Truk from the southwest. It was disclosed that allied bombers, in a three-day attack, had virtually annihilated a Japanese convoy which was try ing to reinforce the hard-pressed Japanese at the bases of Kabaul on New Britain and Kaviang on New Ireland. Fifteen of the enemy ships were sunk when the supply convoy was caught off Massau island, north of New Ireland. They comprised a destroyer, two corvettes, an 8,000-ton tanker, a 7,000-ton tank er, a 6,000-ton transport, five cargo ships of 2,000 tons each, three 1,500-ton cargo vessels and a 500-ton freighter. Enemy casual ties were heavy. On the Italian front, the sec ond German counterattack on the Anzio beachhead apparently was reaching a furious climax. The ac tion, in its fourth day, was de scribed officially for the first time as an all-out German effort to drive the allies into the sea. Cows were milked from the right side by Egyptians nearly 3000 years before Christ, arche ologlsts state; the practice is still generally followed.
