PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALI-S. OREGON June 5, 1042 HEM LOSSES REPORTED FOR JAP FORCES 1 (Continued from Page One) : casualties were Inflicted on de fenders of the tiny U. S. outpost, 1149 miles northwest of Hawaii ' and 2600 miles southeast of Tokyo, a communique said. Turning the surprise attack into a staggering defeat, Amer ican fighters including marines, sea and air forces were official ly credited with damaging a Japanese battleship, an aircraft ' carrier and possibly other war , ships, as well as taking a heavy ' toll of planes. - Thousands of miles to the west, other naval actions marked . the growing struggle for con ' trol of the seas: Jap Subs Sunk Australia Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's headquarters an nounced that allied planes guard - ing the vital lanes in which U. S. ;, war supplies are flowing to Aus- ; tralia have sunk two more Jap anese submarines and probably third off the east coast of the "Down Under" continent. The new successes made a total of six and possibly seven Jap- ' anest understas raiders destroy- . ed in the Australian theater in ' . the last five days. Four enemy : midget submarine swere sunk in '. an abortive raid on Sydney Har bor on Sunday. Madagascar Raided .' Madagascar Imperial Tokyo ' headquarters asserted that Jap .' anese "special" (two-man) sub marines had torpedoed and se - riously damaged a 30,600-ton British battelship of the Queen ; Elizabeth class and 5220-ton , British light cruiser of the Are ' thusa class In a surprise dawn ': attack on Diego Suarez naval . base, Madagascar. Tokyo's claim met a swift de :, nial by the British admiralty, . which said Japanese submarines attacked the British-occupiel base on May 30 but added: "There wer no casualties in Bis Majesty's ships." British sea-borne forces cap tured the French colonial base, off the southeast coast, of Africa, an May 7. As the far Pacific conflict : surged toward the end of its ; sixth month, Washington experts viewed the Japanese attack on Midway and the "feeler" raids on Dutch Harbor, Alaska, as foreshadowing more violent en- my action on the American side of the Pacific. These quarters said Japan now was apparently bent on weakening America's rising of fensive power in the Pacific a threat to Japan s own island empire as well as to her far flung invasion armies and -pos sibly hoped to bring the war within striking distance of the Pacific oast. ' Blows at Midway and Alaska might be intended to clear the way for "a new attack on Pearl Harbor, the western U. S. coast and the Panama canal. Midway Attack May Signal General Onslaught (Continued from Page One) upon its course depends in major degree the outcome of the entire World war, both in Europe and the Pacific. Private advices state that the nazi chief has ready for action some 200 divisions of fresh troops say in the neighborhood Of two and three quarter million men. These are in addition to the million and a half who have been holding the long Russian line during the past fierce win ter of Napoleonic tragedy. They are resting on new arms which have been pouring from the hard pushed factories of Germany and the occupied countries. Then we have that vast nazi air fleet which has been largely idle for months. Hitler ently has been husbanding and eaaing to his aerial striking pow er for coming events. The strength of this armada is, of course, problematical but mil itary experts are agreed that It is a mighty force. All this sounds formidable nd Indeed it is. Any allied com placency because of recent suc cesses certainly would be badly mispiacea, ana it should be em phasized that the allied high command is in no way under rating Hitler's strength. He is dangerous enemy. What we can note with satis- years S2.40CT. 11.1 tlHTUSr ttlUlN te.,M0SIA.

Whether the Reds are equipped to with stand the mechanized German onslaught cannot be answered In advance of the event We can say, though, that If the Russians can hold the Ger mans keep them from breaking through to the resources of the Caucasus and Middle East then the allies will have Herr Hitler neatly speared on the toasting form. In other words the Reds don't have to roll the Hitlerites back and invade Germany at this juncture in order to achieve ultimate victory.

The blast, heard for a radius of 50 miles at 2:45 a. m., Central war time, destroyed the shipping building of group two of the El wood ordnance shell loading plant, which had been described by its director as the largest in the world. Captain Tunstall said there was no hint of sabotage, but that its possibility would be invest! gated by a board of inquiry. " Tunstall emphasized that oper ations in the one group wouid be interrupted only a short time The plant was designed with the view of preventing and minimiz ing explosions and was scattered over a large area of southern Will county south of Joliet. The bombs that Gen. James Doollttle dropped in Tokyo pos sibly came from the Elwood loading plant and its companion plant, the Kankakee ordnance TNT works, a government spokesman recently said. The two plants were in pro duction some time before Pearl Harbor. Tunstall said the wrecked building, a brick and concrete one story structure about 75 feet wide and 275 feet long, housed only the shipping facilities of one unit of the vast plant. Load' ing operations, in three other buildings in the vicinity, will not be interrupted, he said. Under censorship, there was no information about the total number of units in the $30,000, 000 Elwood arsenal, which cov ered a 1650-acre manufacturing area and has 85 miles of rail road tracks within 44 miles of fence.
