PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, June e.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz commander Of
the United States Pacific fleet, announced
today that "a momentous victory is IN the
making IN the Far Pacific where at least
two Japanese plane carriers have been sunk
and IL to Ii other Japanese warships have
been damaged in raging air and naval
battle.
All the planes on the sunken carriers haze been
destroyed The damaged warships, including four
cruisers besides the battleships have been damaged
so badly that some may not be able to reach their
bases"
Great numbers of planes reported destroyed per
haps 100 of them aboard the sunken carriers and aboard
damaged carriers in what appears to be the greatest
navaair struggle of the war;
Admiral Nimtz said 'the battle is not over . all the
returns have yet been received but he predicted

that some of the men on strike are
aliens who have not been cleared
by the war department and tina,
these men would not be allowed
to go back to work until they
were cleared.
az also reminded them that
some OF them were eligible for
the draft and that N they did
not care to work on war mate
rails, the army would be able to
find a good spot for them In the
service" Major Strong added.
They were also reminded
that they have n proper tri-
bunal to which TO take any dis
putes they have--the War Labor
Board and the NLRB and that
they were going too far In their
present actions"
1t was pointed out by a selective
official that TIE law sets
up occupational deferments only in
the national interest and that
under a policy formulated over q
year ago. any one who 'impedes
the war effort" is not eligible for
the deferment.
1T Is obvious to any one" this
official added, "that In this or
any like case, the policy could
be invoked"
