United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. June IL. -
Military and naval scources, scott
ing at Japanese claims of troop
landings in the Aleutian Islands,
today believed the japanese prob
ably would try more hit and run
raids in the Alaskan area.
Those sources indicated that all
was quiet in the Alaska area for
the present. but emphasized for
the present"
The Axis propaganda claims
were pretty well exploded by a
navy spokesman. He said:
1--WE have no information
about any laps landing on Alas
kan soil. Certainly, none of our
inhabited areas, islands or rocks
are troubled with any unlimited
visitors up to this time"
The statement did not, however
preclude the possibility that the
Japanese may have landed or
some of the isolated, uninhabitec
islands.
There appeared to be no basis
for the statement by Japanese
sources that as a result of the
Aleutian operations Japan is now
threatening the United States.
An account of the Midway en-
gagement was presented by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Pacific war
council, and here are the reactions
of some of its members:
New Zealand Minister Walter
Nash:
Full of good news right
through-as good as we have
had and perhaps the best we've
had"
DR.. Alexander Loudon, the Meth
erlands minister:
r Every encouraging In all
respects"
Australian minister for external
affairs, Herbert V. Evatt, however.
warned in a radio address here
last night that the Pacific war
must not be considered a side
show; that overconfidence grow
ing out of the American fleet
victory at Midway would be
suicidal"
"The task OF conquering Japan
has only commenced" he said.
