en- the lions snare today in the
humiliating defeat OF the japanese
invasion fleet that was beaten back
from Midway Island.
The part played by the Army
multi-motored bombing planes was
revealed in the personal stories OF
the pilots OF these big ships-stor-
les that emphasized the devastating
fire power packed by fleet OF Fly
. ing Fortresses.
Tokyo made mighty boasts today
that its navy had occupied Ameri-
can bases in the Aleutian Islands
and could carry out raids on the
United States mainland-should the
need arise" But these claims were
flatly denied in Washington.
Naval observers said the enemy
reverses at Midway and in the bat
tie of the Coral Sea had effectively
blunted Japan's attacking power
and secured our coasts from attack
for the time being.
Australia. Hawaii and Alaska are
in no immediate danger of attack,
they declared. although the Japan
csc may try to strike again when
they can reorganize their forces.
The greatest blow to the enemy
fleet was said to be the loss or

Terrific Fighting
Terrific fighting has flared again
on the Kharkov sector OF the Rus
sian front where the Germans have
launched a large-scale offensive.
Meantime Nazi attack on Sevastopol
continued with undated fury. but
the Russians claimed to be holding
firmly. There was no confirmation
of Vichy radio report that the Ger
man assault had penetrated the
Soviet defeuses around the Crimean
port.
The Axis was also reported to
have increased the intensity of its
attacks on the British lines in
Libya. Free French forces holding
Bir Hacheim, on the southern flank
of the 60-mile defense line, were
said to have repulsed all Axis at
lacks with the aid Of British rein
