 Engagement
BY c. YATES MCDANIEL Associated Press Writer

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Aus tralia, May 9-Announcing categor- ically the basic outline of a clear cut United Nations naval victory in the greatest sea fight of the war, Gen. Douglas Macarthur declared today that American losses in re- pulsing the proud Jap invasion Ar mada in the Coral Sea are relatively light. In successive communiques Gen. Macarthur declared:
 l. The great battle temporarily has ceased.
 2. Our navy forces fought with admirable courage and tenacity. The enemy has been repulsed.
 3. Our attacks will continue.
 4. "The enemys version of the battleline is entirely fictional and has no semblance of a true com munique.
 5. Jap claims of damage if,- fiicted on our naval forces are fan tastic.
 6. Our losses, compared to the enemy's, are relatively light. The only reason they are not published at the present time is because they would reveal to the Japs informa- ton of value"

E N EM Y IS CAUGHT IN
 NEW MOVE
Was Apparently Moving for Attempted Inyas-
 ion of Australia
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, May 9--The Japanese battle fleet has been repulsed in the Coral Sea, and the greatest air and sea battle ir which an Ameri- can fleet has ever engaged has temporarily ceased, according to the communique issued today by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head quarters here.
 The report announced the cessation of the terrific battle, coming on the sixth day after Allied air and naval forces had gone out to meet the Japanese fleet which was bear ing down toward the Australian mainland.
 Pointed To Southwest
 The communique said that the action represented the continued effort of the Japanese to extend their aggressive conquests towards the South and Southwest"
 It was pointed out that the Jap anese have been building up their forces with the emphasis on naval transport clements for a coordin- ated attack of the combined forces.-. This attack was initiated several days ago"
 While cautiously saying only that the battle had ceased "temporar- fly" MacArthur's headquarters nevertheless said flatly that the Japanese had been repulsed.
 The British Reuters News Agen- cy says that the Japanese have lost even more ships than Washington claims thus far.
 Reuters, in dispatch from Syd- ney late last night. said that the vast Japanese invasion fleet off Northeastern Australia had been smashed and that the remnants of it were on the run. Reuters claimed that the toll of Japanese otd iONooCo lltd lotii to ID oAAiPo sunk, four damaged including the certain destruction of two aircraft carriers, one cruiser. six or seven destroyers and other vessels.
 Only four hours before the cheer ing news had been received from Australia, the Navy Department in Washington had said the tissue IS still in doubt
 The Navy claims only II or more Japanese warships sunk, and six or more damaged.
 Presumably with these losses hitting heavily and thousands of it's finest warriors at the bottom of the Coral Sea, the battered Jap anese enemy is reported to be limp ing northward with United States and British Imperial units in hot pursuit.
 The Allied communique said that in the sixth day of the epic en- gagement: Our attacks will con- tinue."

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT $. ALLEN

WASHINGTON Here IS one inside reason why Roosevelt leans toward labor. Basically, the PreSl- dent always has been pro-labor, ana continues to be, even though he has become fed up with some iaoor activities in the past year.
 But in addition, U. s. war strate- gists are convinced that the chief hope of revolution in Europe comes from labor. And most of the psy- choloey warfare strategy being de- vised here is aimed at influencing ,ahor in Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria and the occupied countries.
 Although not generally known, the nucleus of the old Social Dem \ ocratic Party which tried to create a real Republic in Germany is still intact. When Hitler came into power, they moved to Czechoslo- vakia. After the Sudetenland seiz- ure. they moved to Paris. After the downfall of Paris, they moved to the, U. S. A.
 Fifty Social Democrats from the old Reichstag are now III thiS country cooperating with U. s. of- ficials.
 Furthermore, it is labor in the European occupied countries which is abe to assemble or make radios. German labor listens to the radio far more than other classes. Some labor groups even have published very small underground" news papers on hand presses and these are distributed by hand.
 German labor resents the long hours in munitions factories. the small pay and the lack of food, more than any other group. Also labor is about the only group which was not taken over completely by Hitler. The Communists, his chief opponents, now have long been underground, but secretly active.
 To European labor Roosevelt al- ways has been one of the worlds greatest leaders. And one thought in the minds of war strategists is to show Europe that the rights of labor here will not be thrown com- pletely overheard during war.

Mccormick, chairman of the Cas- tineau Channel War Savings Com mittee, said today. The people at home must get into this war and fight by the only methods which are available to us: by taking active part in civilian defense; by doing Red Cross and First Aid work, and, above all, by regular purchases of War Savings Bonds and Stamps.
 Serious Problem
 T think the people of Alaska have not yet realized fully just how serious problem the financing of the war has become This drive is intended to insure that they find Out-and in no uncertain terms. They can rest assured that if the voluntary plan for the selling of these securities does not meet all expectations, the Treasury will find other means of putting over it's program"
 The Voluntary Pledge Campaign will begin on Monday morning. Tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, Fred erick w. Aver, Deputy Administra- tor of War Savings for Alaska, will speak to the residents of Gastineau Channel over station KINY at 5:15 o'clock.
