(P) A new chapter in the stirring story of last month's Coral sea battle was unfolded today by Ameri can land-based army fliers who told how they delivered the first of a series of blows that sank IS Japanese ships, set more than 20 afire and sent the scat tered remnants of a great inva sion armada fleeing northward. For four solid days, the fliers disclosed, they ranged the sea in relays, striking at the Jap anese fleet and returning to their bases only for fresh loads of bombs and gasoline. Over Wide Rang. In adding new details to the accounts already given from naval and other quarters, the fliers said the action was fought out over a wide area, with the rival surface squadrons at least 200 miles apart, probably a rec ord range for a naval engage ment, and with the aerial miss iles entirely replacing fleet broadsides for the first time in history. Had the Japanese failed to turn back, declared Capt. Harry Spieth of Portland, Ore., not one of the 70 to 80 vessels which originally composed the armada would have survived. Credit for striking the Initial blow against the Japanese fleet was given to Lieutenants Maur ice Hargan of Joplin, Mo., and Willis B. Campbell of Chicago, pilots of a plane which sank a large transport in a harbor where the enemy was massing for the Coral sea thrust. It was Capt. John Roberts of Beebe, Ark., however, who was credited with spotting the main Japanese fleet after it took off while he was flying ahead of a Coral sea patrol formation. "Roberts sighted the Japan ese ships 15 minutes before we did," declared Capt. Spieth, leader of the formation. Discoverer Excit.d "He was pretty excited as he radioed back the information that a big force, Including an aircraft carrier, was dead ahead. "When we arrived they were sitting pretty 20,000 feet below us. There was one aircraft car rier, a seaplane tender, several cruisers and a number of de stroyers. A way off we could see another large convoy. "We came in right behind Roberts and let them have all we had. We scored near misses and a direct hit. One of the cruisers which erupted smoke started to blaze furiously. "As our bombs dropped, the Japanese aircraft carrier did a 180-degree turn. He really was trying to escape . . . and so were the others. "Their wakes looked like wriggling white worms as they lurnea in an directions as if a hen was over them trying to pick tnem up. "Those Japs threw every thing they had at us. They were rocking our plane lm a feather. "Soon our naval dive bomb ers appeared and let the carrier we learned later it was the Ryukaku have it. They sank her in five minutes with 15 bombs and 10 torpedo hits. Fled To Rendeivou. "On our way back to bomb up (load more bombs) we saw most of the rest of their convoy coming in pairs or threes in a loose string formation. We sighted about 25 ships in that convoy alone, proceeding to a I MS EitfffiA &a'& t -miiiar-l FOR W.A.

"On our way out again we saw part of our fleet coming to ward the Japanese fleet, then 200 miles away. "That was the last time I saw the Japanese going southward. They lost heart when they lost their carriers, and they were easy meat without aircraft pro tection. We got two transports this time with direct hits. "The next day we went out again. The main units of the Japanese navy had disappeared. leaving the transports to fend for themselves. "We continued to bomb the stragglers. During that day there wasn't five square miles of ocean we traversed that didn't have a Japanese ship of some kind streaking northward CALENDAR SfiturHjiv 10:45 a. m.

' An estimated 15 recruits from Jackson county will participate in the celebration and parade to be held in Portland June 25, marking an all-time record in enlistments for the U. S. navy for the fiscal year. Plans for the celebration have been an nounced by Lieut. Commander G. F. DeGrave, in charge of Oregon navy recruiting head quarters, who said it is hoped that Oregon's record will reach 9,000 enlistments. It was explained by Jack M. Carpenter, CEM, Medford navy recruiter, that each recruiting sub-station throughout the state will accompany their men to Portland. Enlistees from Med ford will be announced later. War Bond Aid Asked Lieut. Commander DeGrave has asked support of all chair men of war bond committees for the sale of enough bonds to figuratively outfit Oregon's en listees with their initial equip ment. Carpenter stated that about $7,862 in bond sales would cover the cost of equip ment and transportation to San Diego of men taking part in the event, who enlisted in Medford. William Gates, Jackson coun ty chairman of war bond sales, has promised the navy recruit ing service that an extra effort will be made to sell additional bonds over the regular county quota to pay the expenses oi these new recruits. Not only that, Mr. Gates said, "but enough also to pay the expense of the group who took the pledge to the navy on June 7 at Jackson county Victory cen ter." Mean. Extra Buying Mr. Gates explained that thl: means an extra purchase of at least $20,000 of bonds should be sold in the next few days. He said "no finer tribute to these young men could be given than when purchasing these exira bonds at your bank or post, of fice to state that your purchase is a tribute to these young men." All men who enlist prior to June 25 will be returned home until that date so they may par ticipate in the celebration and parade.
