main striking power.
The Dutch Harbor and Aleutian
Islands attack was only a clever
Jap diversion trick. staged before
Midway, with view to drawing
our air patrol and seapow'er north
ward out of the way Of the main
attack on Midway. The Japs could.
however, capture q few Aleutians
any time.
There are 500 islands in the
group, mostly uninhabited rocks.
The end of the string Is closer to
the Jap islands south Of Kam-
chatka than to our bases In Alaska.
II the Japs occupied any Of these.
as they claimed, they could be used
only for weather stations for sub
activity. Almost continuous fog
will prevent their use for plane
bases.
But II they had captured Mid
way, they would have been q leg
up on invasion of Hawaii. would
have installed a sub and plane
base with which to intercept any

As matters stand now, they are
not likely to come back to Midway

Jap Surprise
New Plane at Midway
Ahead Of Schedule

WASHINGTON. June - tINS)
The navy disclosed today that
one Of the surprises used against
the japanese In the Midway Battle
of the Pacific was q speedy new
type torpedo bomber named the
Gruman Avenger.
Officials said that the new
planes reached the Pacific fleet
weeks ahead of schedule, and only
four months after the first pro-
duction model left the factory.
Tin comparison with existing
torpedo bombers, the Avenger
has . much greater range and Is
% per cent faster" the navy
said.
with q top speed Of more
than 270 miles per hour, a range
OF 1,400 miles, q normal load
capacity Of 1000 pounds Of
bombs, or one torpedo, and
ceiling Of more than 10000 feet,
the Avenger has proved TO be .
worthy battle companion 70 the
Gruman wildcat and the Doug
las Dauntless In tho carrier
based squadrons Of tho navy"
While a speed of approximately
40 miles per hour may seem slow
compared to the speed Of land
planes, some of which exceed 40(
miles an hour, naval observers ex'
planned that carrier-based planes
are necessarily much slower thar
their land-based counterparts.

Thus discovered, the Japs had
to launch their air attack on Mid
way sooner than they had planned
They had to rush their bombers
into the air.. But our anti-air-
craft guns kept them so high and
our planes pummeled them SO Sc
Ivereiy over Midway that the JAP
bombers entirely missed the Mid
way airfield In their attack.
'BIoUn From Water
This was an astonishing break
for us. You could hardly figure
that they would all miss their pri
mary and most important OBJ
jective. This allowed Us to Use
the field throughout the subse'
quent action.
Our light and heavy bomber'
there pounded everything the Jap:
had afloat in that part Of thu
world for three days thereafter
Furthermore, we were able Il
send bombers from Hawaii TO re
fuel at Midway and take OF
from there. In addition, we hae
the use of some heavy seaplane'
and bombers from our own car
riers in the vicinity.
With this heavy concentration
of land-based planes OF the army
navy and marines, and supple
mental naval bombers, we liter
ally blew the Jap attack out o.
the water.
The announced early figures o.
the damage were on the conserva
tive side for two reasons. Tht
announcing was done by careful
naval Admiral Nimitz because M
