Jap Losses 10 Times
Those Of Americans,
kimitz Declares
Air Power Being Bolstered.
Pocific Fleet Told in
ConerotuIotory Address
p, tht Associated Press.

1s tht ASsoclated Press.
PEARL HARBOR, June 49,
American air power exacted a
stunning toll of 10 Japanese men
and planes for every one lost by
the United States in the Coral
Sea and Midway Island battles
and rapidly is being bulwarked
for even greater sledge-hammer
blows.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz made
the cheering disclosures yesterday
aboard a fighting ship in an address
to his Pacific Fleet during which he
urged the heroic veterans of the two
titanic sea-air fights Ito hold the
line until our reinforcements are
ready to take over"
Acknowledging that losses tc
United States carrier air groups
have been heavy since the wal
opened, due to initial japanese air
superiority, the commander in chief
of the Pacific Fleet strongly limited
that the picture was changing rap
idly.
viii Rotate Carrier Groups.
Whereas the personnel on air.
craft carriers had to fight on with
little rest or relief in the first stages
of the war, Admiral Nimitz said lit
will soon be possible to organize ad-
ditional carrier groups and to rotate
them
Although we feel keenly the loss
of many fine officers and men, we
take pride in knowing they gave
their lives to turn back grave threats
to our country" he declared.
I'VE can take satisfaction In the
knowledge that in every meeting
with the enemy since December 7
his losses have greatly exceeded ours,
and that in the Coral Sea and Mid
way actions his personnel losses
were at least 10 times greater than
ours, and his plane losses in almost
the same ratio.
I'VE are greatly increasing our
battle strength. Our ships, planes
and pilots are being added IN con-
stantly increasing numbers"
Admiral Nimitz praised the team
work OF the Army, Navy and
marines in achieving the Midway
victory. and announced medal
awards to personnel of the Aviation
Corps and the submarines.
But he pointed out that air power
has played the leading role both in
the Coral Sea and off Midway "and
will continue to do so as the war
progresses.
Knox's Message Read.
THE Coral Sea and Midway bat
Ties are the first in history in which
great aerial duels were fought by
carrier fleets" he added.
Our air groups have proved, by
their skill and courage, the superior
ity of our forces. They have shown
that in our ships, in our planes and
in our personnel is the stuff that
makes for victory" Admiral Nimitz
read a message Of congratulation for
a magnificent victory" of Midway
which was sent by Secretary Of
Navy Knox.
The battle of Midway will provide
one of the most inspiring pages in
American naval history for all time, /"
Secretary Knox observed.
The crushing defeat of huge
japanese feet off Midway thwarted
capture of that island defending the
approaches to Hawaii and con-
stituted one phase of the masterful
strategy of Admiral Nimitz in cut
ting the Japanese Navy to pieces.

PITTENGER
SAYS
BY Rep. william A. Pittenger.

Correspondence from various Sec
tons of the District point clearly to
the fact that the America people are
following closely international devel-
opments and domestic procedure in
connection with the war that has
now enveloped the entire world
People are demanding that those
charged with the conduct of the Gov
eminent in the war field and at home
function efficiently and make no mis-
takes. The responsibility rests upon
the War Department, the Navy De-
partment, the Air Forces the War
Production Board, and other Govern
ment agencies to carry out the wishes
of the American people.
Congress has voted to appropriate
huge sums of money for war purposes
and has passed legislation which has
enabled our defense agencies to
"carry on" The American people will
not stand for repetitions of the catas-
trophies of Pearl Harbor, the destruc-
ton of the Normandie, and other un-
fortunate occurrences, which may lead
to disaster to our Nation.
