Japanese Squadron
May HaveCom
From Truk Islands

WASHINGTON, Aug 25-tUP)-
Naval observers believed today the
Japanese counterattack against the
American occupied Solomon islands
may have originated in the Truk
islands, site of important Japanese
naval bases and about 1000 miles
northwest of the Solomons.
Although the attack came from a
ENTHUSIASTICALLY direction, it was
believed the enemy approached in
long arc from the Truk islands
in an attempt to surprise United
Nations forces in the Solomons.
The Truk islands are the largest
group of the Caroline islands. They
extend about 35 miles in an east
west direction.
The Truks formerly were owned
by Germany, but were placed under
Japanese mandate by terms of the
Versailles treaty. They are believed
to have been secretly converted in
to huge naval base.
The islands are mostly composed
of basalt, and are covered with
tropical trees. They have many
conspicuous SUBMITS. Lands near
the coast are low, and covered with
cocoanut groves. The shores are
swampy and covered with mangrove
trees.
Most of the Truk islands are of
coral sand from 3 to feet high
and covered with a thick growth of
cocoanut palms
The Kuop islands-a part of the
Truk group-lie on a smaller atoll
south Of the main Truk group and
are separated from it by deep and
clear channel a mile and "a half wide
in which flow strong tidal currents
The Kuops are four low islets Of
coral sand covered with cocoanut
palms.
