Battle Not Over Said ADJ
n1iraI Nimitz; Care Taken
for Jap ''Trap"
VICTORY BIG ENOUGH
FOR MUCH REJOICING
Losses of Japanese Fleet
Have Been Terrific; u. S.
Setbacks Very Small
BY EVERETT r.. HOLES

BY EVERETT II. HOLES
UNITED Press Staff Corresponding
United States forces seek
ing a "kill" pursued Japan's
main fleet somewhere west Of
Midway Island today, deter
mined to turn the tide of the
war in the Pacific and
achieve the "momentous VIC
tory" forecast by Admiral
Nimitz. Admiral Nimitz said
in a communique issued at
his Pacific fleet command head
quarters at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
that the American naval and air
forces had "lost contact" with the
enemy in the Midway battle Satur-
day night after inflicting more loss-
es upon the japanese fleet.
Losing contact" did not neces-
sarily mean that the battle was over
and both Admiral Nimitz and the
navy department in Washington was
refraining at this stage Of the
struggle from claiming a definite
victory-although the odds clearly
were in our favor.
The enemy fleet, although bait
tered, is withdrawing instead OF
having been destroyed and there
always was possibility that enemy
reinforcements would appear in such
strength to shift the balance.
However, it was the Japanese who
risked the greatest losses because 1t
was they who had the big fleet in
the battle-perhaps go or more war;
ships of all types up to battleshtpS
and 20 or 80 other vessels-while the
American forces involved appeared
to be NASTY carrier based and land
based planes.
Chased Toward Japan
Latest reports indicate that the
Japanese fleet was being pursued
westward toward Japan. after Suf-
fering casualties amounting to 16 or
Is ships sunk or damaged, but Adj
miral Ernest J. King, commanders
in-chief of thief leet, made it clear
that the U. S. forces are not going
Admiral King pointed out that U.
to be drawn into any trap.
S. forces could not be expected to
continue the pursuit within the
range of enemy bombers based on
the Japanese mainland. Thus any
pursuit may be broken off within
1000 miles Of Japan or perhaps IL
500 miles west of Midway.
Admiral Nimitz in his latest COM
munique said the Japanese fleet
was Withdrawing after losing an
additional destroyer, which was
sunk, and damage to perhaps two
additional enemy cruisers.
Thus the official score now stood
at two or three japanese aircraft
carriers and all their planes and one
destroyer sunk and 10 or IA ships,
including three battleshipS, dam
aged.
The U. S. losses were announced
as one destroyer sunk by a japanese
submarine, but with only light cas-
ualties, one aircraft carrier dam
aged and an undisclosed number Of
planes lost.
AS the battle continued in its fifth
day hope rose that the tide had
been turned against Japan six
months after the sneak attack on
Pearl Harbor-and it was becoming
clearer that the Japanese already
have suffered the greatest defeat
OF thir brief naval history.

Cairo, June 8-(UP)-British ar
tillery has hurled back a strong
counter-attack by Col. Gen. Erwin
Rommel's armored forces in the
KnightSbridge area of the Libyan
battle front % miles southwest OF
Tobruk, a Middle East headquarters
communique revealed today.
At the southern terminus Of the
45-mile main imperial line, Free
French forces under Gen. Pierre
Koenig are holding their positions
after repulsing another attack by
enemy infantry and tank units, the
communique said.
The Axis counter-assault at
Knightsbridge was stopped yester-
day, frustrating Rommel's efforts to
offset mounting British pressure
against his position in the British
mine fields between coastal Ell
Gazaala and Biz Hacheim.
The communique gave no details,
but front dispatches said Rommel's
armored columns had been forced
to fall back slowly in the greatest
tank battle of the Libyan war.
Observers here interpreted the
Axis move on Knightsbridge as fur
ther indication that the Germans
and Italians were in danger of being
dislodged from the l2-mile gap In
the British mine fields.

Howard Hughes started casting
for "The Outlaw" the agent sent
in her photograph with some
others. I|B
Mr.. Hughes was interested and
asked the agent to arrange for
an interview. 1t took some
work finding Jane Russell. for
Russell is by no means an un-
common name. After the first
screen test, Jane was accepted,
but she hadn't been told exactly
what was expected Of her. She
thought she might be lucky
enough to get a bit part, but
when she was hoisted to star
dom. she couldn't quite believe
that her golden coach wouldn't
turn back TO a pumpkin.
The real credit for grooming
Jane into somebody who will
captivate American motion-pic-
ture audiences goes TO Russell
Birdwell, her publicity counsel,
who, when he found he had done
a first rate job was ready then
to turn her over to Howard
Hughes for special training in
screen acting. Now, she is

you will agree, the camera has
done superbly well by our Jane.
The story OF Jack Buetel, who
has been chosen by Hughes TO
take the male lead in "The Out
law" is no less surprising. Jack,
too, was an untried novice, a kid
from Texas. who liked TO act.
Zeppo Marx. the agent, sub
mitted his photograph along with
others to Hughes and Jack was
selected.
Jack and Jane were bundled
off TO a ranch for some play be-
fore the shooting of the picture
started. They had a chance to
help celebrate the birthday of
"Jadaan." the famous white stall
lion ridden by Rudolph Valentino
in Son of the Shiek." Jack
resembles Valentino.
Riding horseback was nothing
new TO Jane and Jack. Both
come from horse country and are
as easy in the saddle as most
young folks of their age are be-

counts on strong support not only

ers but also in rural districts.
Neutral observers rate the election

Betting Odds
Betting odds, though not a reli-
able barometer, give Mr.. Talbot a
slight edge, an average figure be-
ing 6-5 on the Republican candidate
the outcome depends on several fac
tors. One is the weather; another
is whether city Democratic organ
izations will get out alb etter vote
than Republican small town organ
iZations; another is the size of the
vote going to the independent can
didate, Ryan.
A careful analysis of district fig
ures would make it seem that Mr.
Monagan will have to carry Water

district. In November, 1910, Mi

cast in that election, many more
than are expected tomorrow.
Tise observer believes that the
total vote in the district tomorrow
will run between $4,000 mad 10000,
Waterbury. The lighter the vote, the
better for Mr.. Talbot-so it shapes
up.
Heavy Talbot strength in Itch
field county can be expected. The
Republican candidate will also take
many normally Democratic votes in
Waterbury. Mr.. Monagan, on the
other hand, may furnish a surprise
by showing some of the other towns
of the district, perhaps in that re-
spect emulating ex-Congressman
Smit, who biennially received much
quiet Republican support.
Waterbury Must Come Out
Unless the Waterbury vote should
be over $4,000, Mr.. Monagan will
have an extremely difficult vote. In
the city election last November
Mayor Vincent A. Scully CD was
reelected by margin of almost T.
900 in total ote Of $4,000, but The
conditions in tomorroW's special
election are far different.
All signs point to a close contest,
with the possibility that Mr.. Ryan's
vote will decide the issue, SINCE a
large percentage of the ballots cast
for him will come from Democrats.
The polls in the cities and towns
of the district will be open from a.
m. to 6 p. m. The outcome may not
be known until late at night, since
some of the Litchfield county towns
are slow in compiling their returns.
