(ADVANCE) - GENERAL
f NJ NJ ON S HEADQUARTERS,
TERRITORY OF II A w All,
June ll-lP)-Part of the epic
story Of the battle Of Midway
was told today by American
Army pilots who with Navy and
Marine flicrS smashed Admiral
YamamotO'S fleet and saved the
Hawaiian Islands from invasion.
General Willis II. Hale, of
Colorado Springs, commander
of the Hawaiian bombardment
command, told how Americans
got in the first decisive blow
Arm bOmbers made their first
contact with the enemy far to
the west of Midway the after
noon of June g. Bombs. dropped
in a medium altitude attack, hit
and damaged one cruiser or bat
tleship which was left in flames.
as were also one transport and
one destroyer.
The following morning, Army
planes took off anticipating that
Japanese planes from the sec
ond enemy fleet - which was
much closer than the force
bombed the previous afternoon
would hit the island. Marine
filters also hoped off and we're
in the air when the Japanese
arrived.
Twenty minutes later, marine
dive bomberS swarmed down on
Japanese ships, adding further
destruction Navy die-bombers
and torpedo planes also at

the details have not been re-
leaSed.)
ATTACK FLEET
At $50 am. Army heavy
bombers-flying fortresses-at-
tackled the Japanese battle fleet
from a high altitude, hitting one
carrier POSSIBLY the Army
bombers also damaged other
enemy vessels, inasmuch as at
the time of writing all the re-
ports still were not received).
Meanwhile, Japanese planes
from carriers were attacking
Midway.
Their first attack made at a
high level with heavy demoi-
ton bombs, lasted 38 minutes
and was directed against both
Sand Island and the nearby
Eastern Island, which together
comprise Midway.
Japanese dive-bombers then
slipped out of the sun and at
tackled Midways ground install
lations while pursuit planes fol-
lowed with strafing attacks. At
least $50 enemy planes partici-
pated in the attacks.
Marine fighters engaged the
enemy planes and the Marine
ground defenders cut loose with
everything from anti-aircraft to
sidearms.
The Japanese did not bomb
runways, apparently expecting
to occupy the islands and use
them for an airbase.
RETURNED TO REFUEL
Shortly after the Japanese
withdrew, the American planes
returned to refuel and take ON
more bombs.
This was the critical period
of the entire battle for our land

| Lose Plea to
| Stoy in Canada
Rx the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
AN EAST COAST CANADIAN
PORT, March 16.--An old Chinese
custom that rescued person be-
comes forever afterward the ward
Of his rescuer received a rude set
back today when immigration au-
thorities ruled that 54 Chinese saved
from torpedoed ships could not re-
main IN Canada.
The seamen argued that when
U-boat explosives tossed them into
the icy Atlantic they were dead and
were reborn again only when a
rescre boat landed them in Canada
Thus, they contended. they were
Canadian citizens by birth and en-
titled to stay in this land of SYM
pathy.
Before advancing the reincarna-
ton theory, the Chinese had refused
to leave port unless they sailed on a
ship bound for Hong Kong, their
home, although there would be no
such ship because Hong Kong has
fallen to the japanese.
The immigration Office has ruled
they must either 60 to sea or face
deportation.
