Carrier Planes Bomb
Enemy in Dawn Blow;
Details Not Available
BY RICHARD HALLER

PEARL HARBOR, Oct. z CINS)
"A long awaited Central Pacific
offensive by the United States
Navy was believed under way
today following official disclosure
that a powerful task force had
shelled and bombed japanese
forces on the American island of
Wake.
Announcement of the assault.
carried out by surface units and
carrier-borne bombers of the Pa
cific fleet, was made by Admiral
Ches er w. Nimitz, commander in
chief of that fleet.
ATTACK ON WAKE
The communique said:
"a strong Pacific fleet task
force commanded by Rear Ad-
miraI Alfred T.. Montgomery,
USN, heavily attacked enemy
held positions on Wake Island
with carrier aircraft and ship
bombardment, commencing at
dawn on Oct. 5, west longitude
date.
Further details are not now
available"
The last sentence could be
taken to indicate that the opera
ton is still under way. especially
since NimitZ chose TO indicate
that the dawn battering com.
menced' the assault.
Further substantiating the be-
lief that the Wake raid may be
the opening of a strong Pacific
offensive was the fact that the
operation was launched almost
coincidentally with the announce
ment that Admiral Ernest j. King,
commander in chief of the United
States fleet, had conferred in
Hawaii with his Pacific comman-
ders.
PACIFIC CAMPAIGN
Admiral Nimitz was one Of the
high-ranking naval officers to
confer with Admiral King and
Admiral William F. Halsey Jr.,
commanding the South Pacific,
was the other conferee. The dis
cussionS admittedly were con-
cerned with plans for the Pacific
campaign"
The current raid on Wake. LOSS
miles southwest of the nearest
American base - Midway - was
the ninth Allied operation of the
war against that strategic island.
The present raid. believed au-
thoritatively 10 have been carried
out by the strongest force yet
operating in the central Pacific,
increased the hopes of some OBJ
servers that a campaign 10 re-
take the American outpost may
soon be launched.
