The navy's announcement OF
submarine operations yesterday
said the light cruiser, two small

The navy specified that the
latest submarine successes did not

The submarines have sunk or
probably sunk more than four
times as many ships as they have

effectiveness of torpedo hits. In

Sea Strength
By JOSEPH A. BORIS

BY JOSEPH A. BORIS
International New, star oorre'pond-"'
THE APPARENT hull in
naval operations in the Pacific
since the battle of the Solo,
mons indicated today that
Japan's sea striking power
has been dulled considerably
BY recent American victories
won by a combination of war
ships and carrier and land
based airplsnes.
With the exception of land
thrusts on New Guinea, there
has been little enemy ac-
tivity in the Southwest Paclhc
since American forces smashed
a Nipponese eounter-attack
August "a. designed to re-
capture some of the strategic
Solomons which have been
held by United States marines
for nearly a month.
While the Japs again have
landed troops on the Solo
mons, United States naval
experts asserted that the mere
fact that the enemy has failed
to appear in force since the
famous battle of Midway in
dicated strongly that the Japs
"are taking no chances.
ON THE basis of known
Japanese warship losses and
damage since the outbreak OF
the Pacific war, naval analysts
asserted that the Nipponese
would have to risk a large
part of their entire remaining
feet strength to carry out a
raid of the magnitude of the
one at Midway Island.
Even in the Aleutians, the
Nipponese have made no fur
Their gains since they seized
three undefended American
islands in the Kiska area.
Since that time their forces
there have been pounded badly
by United States army and
navy planes, surface warships
and submarines.
THESE SOURCES warned,
however, that the Nipponese
are still In a favorable position
Ia the central and far eastern
Pacific, because of the many
Islands they control which
have facilities for land-based
aircraft.
With the exception of hit
and-run raids, American naval
forces have made no attempt
70 penetrate the enemy strong
holds in the Marshall and
Gilbert and the CAROLYN e
Islands, from which the enemy
presumably launched its at
tack on Pearl Harbor, Wake
and Guam.
Americas present favorable
situation in the eastern half
of the Pacific Is the result of
a long series of surprise raids
which began with the smash
ing naval and aerial attack on
Jap bases in the Marshall and
Gilbert islands the latter part
of January.
SUBSEQUENTLY, AMERI-
CAN naval and aerial forces
maintained a limited offensive
attitude through the first
Coral Sea campaign and the
Battle Of Midway. and more
recently the offensive in the
Solomons in which the first
important territory was re-
captured from Japan.
War analysts, however, are
watching for new Jap moves
in the Pacific, and while
present Indications point to a
Nipponese attack on Soviet
Siberia. future action is ex-
pected by the enemy in
the Southwest Pacific, the
Aleutians, and possibly even
against the Hawaiian area.
The feeling in official circles
Is that American forces every
where in the Pacific are ready
for almost any move the

200 AIR BATTLES

In an attack by American me-
dunn bombing squadrons, an AXIS
airfield was hit heavily and many
hits were reported on the target
area. causing big fires TO spring
up among Nazi planes parked at
the bases.
American planes were credited
with the destruction of at least
two German planes in combat,
one a Messerschmitt 100 and the
other an ME-110.
More than 200 sorties were car
ried out through the day by the
Allied air force without single
loss. However, II Allied planes
were missing and five pilots were
known safe.
The impact of the Allied air at
tack was revealed by British
patrols, which reported they found
SO Axis tanks abandoned on the
battle-ground. blown up and de-
stroyed by shells or bombs.
Attacks on two conveys by Raj
planes were reported.
2 CONYOYS HIT
Both were made Wednesday
night. The Raj reported direct
hits on one ship in each convoy
and said both were damaged
badly.
The hombers struck as one con-
voy was slipping out of point and
hit tanker with one bomb. The
second convoy was attacked BY
torpedo planes and one ship was
hit by two torpedoes.
The almost complete absence OF
the luftwaffe from the desert bat
tie skies contrasted sharply with
German air action in the initial
days of fighting when frequently
squadrons of 40 or more dive
bombers. escorted by up to so
fighters, ranged over the desert.
