S. marine dive-bomber and army flying fortresses smashed at the Japanese battle fleet ISO miles off Midway and Inflicted heavy damage on the enemy. Full details have not yet been released. Eye-Witneu Col. Walter C. Sweeney Jr., of San Francisco, who led squadron of flying fortresses in attacks on June 3 and 4. gave this graphic description: "There was a big battle line, with destroyers outside, then cruisers, battleships and away back the carriers which we picked for our target. "We picked the biggest car rier and headed for it. . , "The Jap ships started their frantic escape maneuvers but our pattern of bombs blanket ed a carrier. We got at least one definite hit on the port bow of the carrier and saw - flame and smoke of the ex plosion." . Meanwhile, at least 180 Jap anese planes from carrier: at tacked Midway with heavy de molition bombs for 38 minutes but did not bomb the runways, apparently expecting to capture the island and use it as an air base for attacks on the Ha waiian island 1200 miles to the southeast "This was the critical period of the entire battle for our landbased ah force," said Brig. Gen. Willis H. Hale, commacder of the . Hawaiian bombardment command. "But the enemy didn't come back. They , were too busy pro tecting themselves.. From then on, the Japanese 'were with drawing and it -was a series of mopping operations." i Jap Version While Americans thrilled to new details of the crushing Japanese defeat with the full story yet to be told, Japan's version of the battle ballooned to fantastic proportions. Vice Admiral Ichiro Sato, a member of the Japanese naval general-staff, blandly asserted that Admiral Yamamoto's fleet had made "a decisive advance toward absolute mastery of the sea" by inflictine "smashing blows" on U. S. naval forces at Midway, and Dutch Harbor. But the Japanese people were not told that their fleet, bat tered and broken, ' was limping If s MID Satisfyir if u.mi Selected Stock (although not i bond and bottled at 86 proof instead of 100 proof) has all the quality, all the aging of fine 4-year old bonded bourbon.

For Russia, it was signed by Foreign Minister Molo tov himself, who came to Lon don. The London negotiations took only three days, indicating that Britain and Russia had reached already such complete agree ment of views as to make actual signing of the treaty a mere matter of form. That is important for mutual suspicion bad kept Britain and Russia apart for years and prob ably had a lot to do with making the war inevitable. CROM London Molotov flew to Washington, where in a few days more he and President Roosevelt reached "unity of views" on: 1. A second front in Europe. 2. Increasing and speeding up of supplies of planes, tanks and other kinds of war materials from the U. S- to Russia. '3.

The pact was signed on May 26 by Eden and Russia's foreign commissar, Vyacheslav Molotov, at the British foreign office, after the Russian statesman had ar rived in London en route to Washington- Molotov now has returned to Moscow. The United States was kept fully informed of the London negotiations, it was said. Japan is not mentioned in the Brlt&h Russian treaty. United States Ambassador John G. Winant played an im portant role in the negotiations, it was disclosed. The Russians at first asked that the treaty in clude a guaranty of the soviet union's western frontiers in the Baltic region, but the American ambassador dissuaded them from pressing this demand, an in formed authority said. It was announced that Molotov had had "most useful and satis factory talks with the president in Washington. Paralleling the London treaty talks- was a series of military discussions in which the "urgent need" of a second European fr6nt was agreed upon, it was an nounced. - - Talk Second Front Eden said that a "full under standing" had been reached with "regard to the urgent task of creating a second front in Europe in 1942,'.' but whether the actual opening of such a front was definitely decided on was not stated. The ; 20-year treaty, which Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov signed at the foreign of fice here for Russia, provides "for common action to preserve :;3 IF IK liJ -f T I PROOF " 1 I u 2.1 peace and resist aggression In the post-war period." It pledges the nations "not to enter into any negotiations" with Hitler's government or any German government that falls to renounce aggression- The United States government was kept fully Informed of the negotiations for the treaty It was said. Eden said that Molotov had arrived in London May 21 and the 20-year agreement was signed five days later, Just before Molo tov left for the United States. Molotov agreed to the treaty on the evening of May 25 after three days of discussion. The treaty was signed by Eden and Molotov with a gold mount ed fountain pen belonging to Prime Minister Winston Chur chill. Britain and Russia agreed to render one another "nil possible economic assistance after the war" and to avoid participation in any alliance directed aeainat the other contracting power. Molotov has "now got back to Moscow," Eden said. The treaty negotiations were accompanied by a series of mil itary discussions in which the "urgent need" of a European front, although not necessarily this year, was agreed upon. The two countries have agreed, Eden said, that they would "work for the organization of security and economic . prosperity" in Europe, taking into account the interests of the united notions. . Britain and Russia arj willing "to unite with other like-minded states in adopting proposals for common action to preserve peace and resist aggression," Eden said, forecasting a post-war or ganization similar to the League of Nations. Eden said the treaty would remain in force until Russia and Britain recognize. It has been "superseded by adoption of pro posals for a long-term system of international security" but in de fault of such proposals "it shall remain in force for a period of 20 years and thereafter until terminated by either of the con tracting parties. i Powerful U.
