PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, June
25.-The story Of an American sub
marine which played deathly game
OF hide-and-seek with segments of
the Japanese fleet which attempted
to invade Midway was disclosed to-
day by Admiral Chester w. Nimitz
Alternately surfacing and sub
merging while surviving four depth
charge attacks, the submarine sue

aircraft carrier previously crippled
by American bombers.
Heavy black smoke enveloped

of a thousand feet like that above

burned at Pearl Harbor last Decem-
Der. Next day there was no trace
of the carrier"
The submarine had received word
at dawn of June 4 that a large for
nation Of enemy planes was head
ing for Midway Island. Her COM
mander ordered a change of course
to intercept the carriers from which
the enemy planes had been
launched. His watch indicated
am. as the tops Of the enemy masts
came in view OF the periscope.
Immediately the submarine found
herself under japanese strafing
attack. Submerging she drew closer
to the hostile formation, finding a
battleship and three cruisers. The
cruiser spotted the periscope. Un-
harmed by depth charges. the sub
marine still approached the enemy

Even before anchors were over

the place livable and air defense

LONDON, June 25.-The air
war returned to the industrial
West Midlands last night after a
lull of more than a year when a
fairly strong" force of German
planes bombed two towns.
Five Of the attacking planes were
shot down there and over East
Anglia, where lighter enemy bomber
groups scattered incendiaries at
several points.
Britain's big bombers, meanwhile,
were said to have been held aground
by another siege Of bad weather
over the continent.
Some Trapped in Wreckage.
Some persons were trapped in the
wreckage Of buildings in the stricken
Midlands communities, but rescueV
dug many of them out alive by day
break today and it was believed that
there would be relatively few fatal
tiles.
Damage was described as fairly
extensive. Villages near industrial
centers suffered from widely scat
tered incendiary bombs.
The NazS, switching from their
recent "guidebook raids" on centers
of historic and sentimental value to
the English in the south and south
east, attacked with incendiaries and
high explosives at about midnight.
A 10minute burst of anti-aircraft
reused some Londoners from their
sleep when lone plane later flew
low over the capital. 1t dropped no
bombs and no alarm was sounded.
st. Nazaire Base Raided.
The plane was believed to have
been German raider straying from
its homeward course after the Mid
lands attack or, possibly, a scout
preparing for resumption of the
heavy raids from which London has
been free since the spring Of 1941.
While bad weather Kept the Raj
from attacking Germany during the
night. British bombers,ri nj neverthe-
less. raided the German, submarine
base at st. Nazaire. France. -,
In addition, fighter corntpand air
craft operated over enemy airfields.

When the attack ceased she rose
to periscope depth.
The battleship's entire broadsids
battery blasted at the slim PERI
scope.
The commander Of the submarine
elected to make his own attack.
From long range ,be sent a torpedo
after the battleship. The huge jap
anese warship fed. A cruiser de-
tached from the squadron tore after
the submarine. A second depth
charge attack thundered, but the
undersea fighter escaped.
A few minutes later the periscope
again was lifted and revealed q
japanese carrier in the distance
shifting course furiously. Above her
hung a pail of anti-aircraft smoke
with small black blobs Of shellfirs
above that.
The submarine lowered the peri
scope as the japanese cruiser started
another depth charge attack. The
submarine kept advancing.
Came message that q Japanese
carrier had been damaged by bomb
ing. The submarine stalked one OF
the smoke clouds and found the
damaged carrier moving slowly with
a pair of cruisers The carrier was
of the Soryu class.
The submarine commander chose
to complete the destruction OF the
carrier. Torpedoes hit their mark
even as the cruisers bore down on
the submarine with another depth
charge attack, and fourth for the
submersible.

The outlook for steel, particularly
in regard TO scrap metal, has i'm
proved, Mr.. Nelson reported. A lack
Of scrap 80 days ago caused 200

however, and will continue to need

10000 of our projected 10000 ,000-
ton increase will probably be COM

industry has been production OF
