FLEET: LOSE
27
WARSHIPS
(Continued from Page One)
aged an enemy light cruiser In
tne Mindanao sea.
But, without the continuing
achievements, the already ac
complished blows promise to lift
Japan's losses beyond the 35
warships sunk or damaged off
Guadalcanal in November, 1942.
27 Confirmed
Several enemy destroyers are
bnnwn to have cone down which
are not included in the confirmed
27.
Todav, Vice Adm. Thomas C.
Kinkaid, whose outnumbered
seventh fleet turned the tide
irom threatened disaster into
history-making triumph in Lcyte
suit, made clear much more re
mains to be catalogued official
ly. Splits Fleet
It was Kinkaid who split up
his fleet, took on two enemy
warship forces converging on
the Leyte invasion scene and
trounced both while submarines
and warships and carrier planes
of Adm. William F. Halsey, Jr's,
third fleet surprised and dealt
mortal blows on enemy flattops
attempting a sneak punch Irom
Formosa waters.
Today Kinkaid told Dean
Schedler. Associated Press war
correspondent in the Philippines,
that the Japanese risked from 39
to 46 warships in the two battles
near .Leyte and only 211 retired.
That general summary suggested
from 19 to 26 enemy ships were
bagged, although it did not dif
ferentiate between sunk and"
damaged. But the 23 which got
away were pursued by planes
and, doubtless, as yet undisclosed
damSge was heaped on them.
The 27th confirmation was the
light cruiser hit by Liberators
in the Mindanao sea, a sector
through which one segment of
Ihe Japanese fleet naturally
flee after being forced back
through Surigao strait. This
was the fleet group which ap
proached Leyte from the south
east and actually penetrated the
gulf.

conference, Churchill spoke only
about 30 minutes. Commons
granted his previously expressed
plea that it refrain from using
tne report as tne basis lor a gen
eral policy debate.
Brief Conference
He touched but briefiy upon
the military situation.
Asserting that "we are in the
last lap" of the European war,
Churchill declared:
"Let all hope die in German
breasts that there will be the
slightest division or weakening
among tne lorces that are crowd-
ing in upon them and will crush
the life out of their resistance."
While he said recognition of
the French provisional govern

on the world stage," Churchill

world in the next few vcars de-
ponds upon united action by the
