The Enemy
Says Today:

BERLIN - German broadcast
recorded by United Press at LON
don)-A Tokyo dispatch Tuesday
reported that an American naval
force attempted to attack Japa-
nese inundated islands in the Pa
cific last Friday.
(The United States navy in
Washington has made no an
nouncement OF a second raid
by American warships upon
Japanese inundated territories
In the Pacific.)
The Tokyo dispatch by the DNB
news agency reported that Japa-
nese planes prevented" effort by
a strong naval unit" of the u. s.
Pacific fleet to attack the islands.
THE Japanese air force
noticed strong naval unit,
composed of United States
cruisers and aircraft carriers
which approached Japanese
island territory from the
direction of Hawaii" the re-
port said.
In their immediate attack
said the report, the japanese air
force inflicted heavy damage on
the enemy which fled in an
easterly direction"
The DNB report quoted Japa-
nese naval circles as asserting
that this second attempt to at
tack the Japanese islands must
have shown Washington that it is
quite impossible to attack JAPAN
TOKYO - broadcast recorded
by UP in san Francisco) Tokyo
radio declared Tuesday Presi-
dent Roosevelt's fireside address
last night was AN apparent ef-
fort to subdue growing public dis
satisfaction over the governments
failure to take effective measures
in the face of the Axis victories"
and said he "impudently" cooked
up stories TO conceal the true
situation at Pearl Harbor.
The radio said Mr.. Roosevelt
admitted the impossibility of an
early victory for the United
States and that he pointed to the
task Of maintaining supply routes
to the Soviet union and to Chung
king.

Ia. Police Shoot
Down Five CoIore<I
Soldiers In Riot

ALEXANDRIA, La. = At least
five colored soldiers we're be-
lieved shot, two of them seri-
ously wounded, in a clash here
with 60 white military police, 20
white city police and ten white
state police who used tear gas
and firearms freely.
Men Unarmed
The colored soldiers, about
1910 of them, were in the city
the day after pay day for simple
recreation. All were unarmed
and the group had its own COL
ored military police and were in
the colored neighborhood.
According to the reports, the
white military police, a so-called
rowing patrol of so men look
for trouble, entered the colored
area and created the riot by ar
resting one of the colored men
who. should have been under the
jurisdiction of the colored mill
tary police. Immediately a free
for all fight broke oht and the
whites summoned more armed
police.
In spite of the fact that the
colored soldiers were without
weapons, the fight lasted half an
hour as fully 500 soldiers Joined
in the fracas. No reports were
issued on the number of whites
injured and at the conclusion all
Of the colored troops were or
dered back to camps. Many col
red civilians joined in the fight
to help their soldier boys but
1w details were Immediately
given as to their injuries or ar
rests.
The Alexandria riot Is only
one of several that have resulted
here in the south between col
ored troops and white police.
