By the Associated Press.
In an apparent effort to pre-
pare the japanese people for bad
news from the fighting on Attu
Island, Former Minister of War
Gen. Sadao Araki was quoted by
the German radio today as hav-
ing declared that "setbacks there
and at home will only increase
our strength
At no point in the broadcast,
which was recorded by the Associ-

predicting a Japanese victory on
Attu. He said, merely, that what
ever happened there lin no wise
could affect the will to victory and
certainty of victory of the japanese
people
For our great aim we put in all
we have" Araki was quoted. Our
grateful thoughts are always with
our soldiers at the front"

LONDON, May 15.-The larg-
est force of American heavy
bombers ever dispatched over
Germany attacked harbor in
stallations of Emden and other
targets in Northwest Germany
today.
The results were reported good
despite adverse weather.
Showers of incendiaries were
dropped.
Six bombers we're missing.
It was the third consecutive day
In which the American planes had
been on the prowl a period in which
they blasted eight targets.
First Large-Scale Fire Raid.
The raid on Emden was the first
large-scale fire raid by American
planes and one of the first big day
light incendiarv attacks of the war.
It was the first time the Ameri-
cans had attacked a whole city as a
target, rather than pinpoint OBJ
jectives.
Clouds and smudgepots prevented
an immediate assessment OF the
damage, but flyers made this COM
mem:
"l, e were right over the city
we couldn't have missed
Heavy Interception.
1t was indicated that today's raid
was intercepted by one of the
largest forces of German fighters
yet encountered and they resorted
to the fruitless stunt of trying to
bomb the FortreSses in flight from
above. Numerous bitter combats
were reported.
Intelligence officers said the Ger
mans had been strongly reinforced
in fighter protection along the
north coastal area, and the flyers
encountered we'll over 100 Focke-
Wulfs and Messerschmitts.
1t was the fourth American raid
on Emden.

Attack Seen as Start of Drive
On Japanese in Pacific
By the Associated Press.


The beginning of a barrage OF
blows against major japanese posi-
tions throughout the Pacific was
seen by some strategists here today
in the American drive to wipe out
enemy forces in the Western Aleu-
tians, starting with Attu Island.
And the belief that subsequent
stabs soon may strike at South
western, Southern and Central Pa
ciflc strongholds of the enemys
ocean empire seemed at least par
TALLY borne out by:
1. Recent conferences between
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, COM
mander in Australia and the South
western Pacific area, and Admiral
William F. Halsey, jr., commander
in the Southern Pacific.
2. Emphasis on the Pacific situa-
ton by choice of high officials sit
ting in on the conferences here of
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill.
3. Expressed opinion Of qualified
authorities that no major Pacific
move would have been started unless
joint Army Mayfair power was set
to continue the offensive series all
along the line.
Attu Attack Satisfactory"
While reports of the Macarthur
Halsey meeting were couched in the
most general terms, authorities
stressed that they were held at a
time when American positions in
both areas have reached the point
where joint Army Mayfair opera
tions of the most complex sort are
required for further offensive ac-
tions.
Secretary of the Navy Knox made
it clear yesterday that just such
joint action made possible the am
phibious attack on Attu last Tues
day. Army troops were put ashore
from transports guarded by war
| ships and their success in land
| fighting on the island itself depend
ed on the Navy's ability to keep
supplies and reinforcements moving
| in.
AS the Attu battle moved into its
fourth day, Secretary Knox said sit
is going very satisfactorily. From
other informed authorities came the
opinion that the admlra1s and gen.
erals in charge OF the operation,
having full knowledge of enemy
strength on the island, must have
struck with force sufficient to as
sure complete victory.
Weather Foe in Aleutians.
This optimistic prospect increased
the tone of confidence already in
jected into the Roosevelt Churchill
conferences by the Allied triumph
in North Africa. At the same time
it gave fresh support to specula-
ton that prosecution Of the Pacific
war will not be allowed to lag be-
cause of the concentration of major
forces in the European theater.
The attack on Attu, requiring
many ships and thousands of men,
was regarded as conclusive evidence
that ships and men are available
in great numbers for offensive &C
ton against the Japanese, since for
such an objective the American
command could not afford to weak
en- its positions elsewhere along the
5,000-mile battle line.
The island battle unquestionably
was bitter, with weather and ter
rain aiding a tenacious foe in op-
posing successful landing and
subsequent push inland. Aleutians

CLEVELAND, May 15.-The
CIO Executive Board today
asked the National War Labor

Lewis United Mine Workers.
"Only in this manner can the
board realistically discharge its re-
sponsibility to determine the case in
manner that will best serve to
aid the successful prosecution Of the

adopted unanimously at a special
policy meeting on the current eco

Some leading members said the

union once was part of the CIO.
THE board must not repeat its
unfortunate errors of the packing

equities were denied over the oppo-
sition of the CfO," the wage adjust

claims must be recognized and sat-
isfied by the board.

rious countries I visited. In this
hotel the water is good on the lower
floors but very bad on the upper
ones.
1t is hot here, really hot. That
is to say, it is almost as hot as when
I left New York. Soon after dark
one of my colleagues said:
Pop of to bed now. You'll need

Another said: Last night was
like Guy Fawkes Day famous for
the. 'Gunpowder Plot in England,

We climbed up the dark stairway
and an American general turned on
a hashlight for a second.

Axis shipping still bringing a trickle
of men and material to the be-
