Two American naval vessels bore

assault and may have forced them

the raid only this:
About Is twin-englne japanese
bombers unsuccessfully attacked two
United States surface units operat-

Use of the word "unsuccessfully"
indicated that the vessels themselves
were not damaged. 1t was assumed
that they replied to the raiders with
anti-aircraft fire, but no hint was
given of whether they shot down or
damaged any enemy planes.

In the event the raiders returned
to Paramushiro they demonstrated
in reverse that such bombing raids

torist bishop said. "and you will
find American soldiers, sailors and
marines fighting to protect and to
preserve the very things this Un-
known Soldier died for. You will
find them keeping faith with these
dead"
The bishop quoted from letter
sent him by chaplain. 1t read:
The serviceman of today is a Sc
rious thinking young man.. He feels
that the fundamental cause of the
disaster to our Nation and to the
world has been the rejection or at
least the ignoring of God and the
teachings of his Divine Son.
One Path to Peace.
"Only through return to the
teachings of Christ can peace
through justice and charity be re-
stored to the world At present he
has deep conviction that he is en-
gagged in struggle not merely for
his country, but for God.
He is convinced he is on Gods
side, that he is fighting for God as
we'll as for his country and conf
IDENTIFY places himself in Gods
hands"
The bishop continued:
I'VE are here not only to honor
these dead, but to pray for them.
And, as Judah, before the time of
Christ. sent to Jerusalem to have
sacrifices offered for his fallen SOL
diers. knowing as he did that it was
holy and wholesome thought to
pray for the dead that they might
be loosed from their sins, so today
we gather here to offer the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass for the repose
of the souls of our own American
heroes"
