a fight with the Japanese navy in
waters 80 miles northwest of
Biak island Thursday ' night,
routed five enemy destroyers in
a long-range pursuit which
smashed the fifth enemy naval
attempt In less than a week to

Steaming across the sea In the
darkness in hopes of engaging
the enemy force which had been
sighted by aerial reconnaissance,
the Allied destroyers sent the
Japanese warships speeding
northward without an enemy
!shot fired, a Spokesman at Gen.
Douglas MacArthur s headquar
ters announced.
The Allied task force closed
to within six miles of the flee
ing Japanese warships and fired
long-range volleys which were
believed to have, damaged at
least one enemy vessel.
The naval action occurred on
ly a few hours after ten Amer
ican Billy Mitchell medium
bombers had sunk four Japanese
destroyers and damaged a fifth
in Geelvink bay, 10 miles east of
Biak, Thursday afternoon. It
was the fifth action in five days
against enemy warships caught
off western Dutch New Guinea.
No aircraft wer'e involved in
the night action, but Allied

Pearl Harbor, June 10 (U.R)
Hammering at Japanese-held is
lands from Nauru to Truk,
American aircraft staged at least
10 attacks in the central Pacific
in a three-day period ending
Friday, Pacific fleet headquar
ters announced today.
Included in these latest aerial
forays was an attack Thursday
upon Truk the fourth this
month against that once-vaunted
base in which 7th air force
Liberators reported no opposi
tion. The strike against Truk fol
lowed by less than 24 hours
a previous attack in which
"meager" antiaircraft fire was
encountered, and the failure of
the Japanese to defend their
base either with anti-aircraft or
airborne interception in the last
attack indicated that the enemy
now attaches little importance
to Truk.
No other details of the attack
on Truk were released.
In other attacks against the
enemy's far-flung central Pacific
bases guarding the approaches
to Japan's home waters, Amer
ican airmen bombed Nauru,
phosphate-producing Island far
to the south of the Marshalls,
and Ocean island, south of Nau
ru, on Wednesday. Navy search
planes dumped explosives on
barracks and gun emplacements,
encount I ing moderate to in
tense anti-aircraft fire.
