Glowing Words of Praise for Tommy Reeves of ThOmastOn Who Was Killed on Board Battle
 ship Arizona at Pearl HarbOr

Hartford, Conn, June 5-(UP)- Nothing that can be said or done can ever quite capture that divine spark that was in Tommy Reeves when he went to his death."
 That was Gov. Robert A. Hurley's tribute today to the first Connec- ticut man to lose his life in World War II-Tommy Reeves of Thom- aston, chief radioman on the bat tleship Arizona when it was blasted during the Japanese sneak raid on Pearl Habror last Dec. 2.
 Reeves, with "A years of service in the navy, received the Congress sional medal of honor posthumously for his heroisnl in keeping gun crews supplied with ammunition as they biazed away at enemy planes.
 "Of all the acts of heroisn, such an act as his is the most heroic" the governor wrote today to Fred Dewey Reeves, Thomaston, one of the four surviving brothers of the naval hero.
 Last Act on Earth
 "He knew for certain that the task he had assigned himself would be the last of his life on earth. He was not essentially a fighting man, but a technician. And when that ship was bombed from the air as it lay at anchor in . Pearl Harbor, Thomas J. Reeves helped to keep

MORE INDUCTEES
 TO LEAVE SOON
Two Large Groups Ex- peCted to Answer Call
 From Local Boards
(NEA Telephoto)

Each of Waterbury's four Select i've Service boards will send two large groups of men for induction into the Army this month, 1t was learned today. The June total of sel- ectees called up for active service is the largest here since the Selective Service went into effect, exceeding the records previously set in April and May.
 Induction of the men will take place under the new Selective Serv- ice procedure whereby they will go to Hartford for their physical exam nations before actually beginning their Army service. The men passed by Army doctors at Hartford will re- ceive automatic l4-day furloughs to wind up their personal affairs. Any farewell demonstrations will be with held until after the furloughs have been completed.
 The only names to be released for publication will be those of the men who are accepted for the Army. Tn the past the practice has been to re- lease the names of all the men called, before their physical exami- nations, This has resulted in embar- rassment on the part of the scores who have been rejected by Army doctors.
 Under the new plan, there is no danger of any of the men honored at farewell programs being sent home the same day or in a day or two.
 The June orders mark the first time in many months that two cons tingents have been called up the same month. Additionally, when this has happened in the past, the groups have been comparatively small.

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, June 5.-(UP)-A major navalaeral battle developing in mid-Paci6c to. day after United States forces had damaged Jap. battleshp and an aircraft carrier, probably damaged other ships and shot down many planes in beating off carrierbased plane attack Midway Island. Victorious in the first phase of big engage ment, the United States naval and air forces were continuing their attack the enemy forces off Mid way.
 MAY BE ONLY DIVERSION
 It was believed here that the Japanese attack on Dutch HarbOr had been dversOnal one and that both the Dutch HarbOr and Midway attacks might be designed to divert attention from another major drive possibly against Hawaii the United States the supply line to Australia. The possibility foreseen that the Japanese were making major thrust eastward which likely meet the full force of United States naval units in the Hawaiian area and the ArmyS island-based air power materially strengthened since the attack Pearl HarbOr December ,.
