quarters announced today that
80 enemy planes had attacked
Minamitori Shima, e Japanese
island about 1900 miles south
east of Toxic, killing eight per-

japanese fighters engaged the
raiders, shot down seven Of them
and drove OF the remainder, a COM
munique said. The announcement
did not give their nationality.
The German radio quoted
Toxic newspapers as saying the
attack was made by United

ganda purposes. After a jap

coast of California United States
forces had to have a similar

Minamitori Shima is about 900
miles northwest of japanese
occupied Wake Island. It is about
5000 miles from Honolulu.
There was no indication from
Washington that United States
planes had carried out such a raid
1t was recalled, however, that on
Tuesday an official Washington an
nouncement said naval task force,
including airmen. had shot down IS
japanese planes west of the Gilbert
Islands"
The Gilbert group is some 1000
miles southeast of Minamitori
Shima Both the Gilbert and
Marshall Islands were attacked by
United States naval forces a little
more than a month ago in an often
sive sweep.
Little data on Minamitori Shima
are available. An old British ad-
-miralty pilot book described the is
land-once known as Marcus, or
Weeks Island, as about one-and -one-
half miles long and two-thirds of a
mile wide.
Some old maps showed Marcus as
United States possession, and a
mild dispute as to its ownership con-
tinued for some years before the
japanese occupied it in 1899 At
that time Japan's eagerness to eX-
tend her Pacific island outposts had
been increased by the United States
annexation of Hawaii and occupa-
ton of Wake, Midway and other is
lands.
Marcus Island lies near the direct
air route between Hawaii and Japan

Way Will Be Found,
Henderson Sure, to
Travel Sitting Down
BY the Associated Press.


Leon Henderson believes
American ingenuity will pro-
duce something to enable mo-
torists to travel sitting down"
even If they can't get rubber
tires.
Testifying before a Senate
committee today. Mr.. Hender-
son said he thought ingenuity
would produce new type of
wheel or tire for automobiles
which would be used even if it
bumps, even if it destroys the
peace of the night, and even If
it only goes Is miles"
This native urge-as Bill
Knudsen says-to go from one
place to another sitting down,
is not going to be destroyed by
a shortage of tires" he said.
