 UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS. PEARL EARBOR, Oct. 16-Fighting off strong Japanese air attacks, the Pacific Fleet Task Forces smashed Formosa and Luzon again Friday destroying at least 91 enemy air planes.
 The last report is that fighting still is underway, with indications battle along the approaches of the Orient is building up to tremendous peak.
 Jap Fleet In Action
 The Japanese announce their fleet is in action, although there are no indications here that it is so.
 An engagement with the Japa- nese fleet has been eagerly sought by Admiral Halsey and his fighting men.
 | Whatever the extent of the present engagement, the going IS apparently not unfavorabble for the American forces, despite the fact the Japanese are making the strongest defense since their smash ing defeat in the Philippine Sea on June l8 and 19. Admiral Nimitz says: Our plane losses so far have been light"
 Japanese Claims
 There is no comment on the Japanese claims to have sunk or damaged more than 50 American ships.
 Carrier planes first hit Formosa Wednesday and the Task Force fought off small groups of enemy aircraft. That night the task force again bombed and strafed island installations and shipping. Jap Counter r-attack 1 Thursday, planes of the Japa- nese Imperial Air Force counter attacked the task force off For mosa strongly and throughout Thursday night.
 | Admiral Nimitz says his use of the phrase Imperial Air Force, indicated the Army as well as the Navy planes might have partici- pated in the counter attack, but he gave no indication whether the Japanese actually sent carrier based planes into the battle during the Thursday night attacks
 Enemy Planes Downed
 American carrier planes downed i3 Japanese planes and anti-air- craft on the task force vessels de- stroyed seven more.
 At dawn on Friday, the carrier aircraft of the Third Fleet, feeling sure of themselves, divided forces and struck both Formosa and Luzon, encountering little air opp position over the targets.
 Preliminary reports here are that II Japanese planes were shot down and 30 destroyed on the ground.
 There are no reports on damage to enemy installations.
 Attacks In Kuriles
 In a second communique issued by Admiral Nimitz, he reported widespread attacks against enemy shipping in which 20 small vessels and five barges were damaged.
 Liberators attacked nine small cargo ships near Matsuwa Island in the Kuriles, and Mitchells bombed Paramushiro and Shimu- shu, also in the Kuriles, hitting installations. The Mitchells also sartfed a 1000 ton cargo ship and Iseven small cargo ships in the Suri- bachi Bay, Paramushiro.

THE PRIVATE PAPERS
OF PRIVATE PURKEY


OF PRIVATE PURKEY
Dear Harriet
Well, the first thing I am going
to do when get home from this war
Is to get on a Hudson River ferry
boat and ride back and forth on 1t to
break myself of the army habit OF
jumping overheard and wading
ashore.
The army don't land nowheres no
more. It swims or paddles ashore.
-
If we was dressed for it 1t would
not be bad, but we do all our swim
ming and wading all dressed for
dry land and mountain operations.
=
Half the time I do not know II l
am in the army, the navy or a
Billy Rose bathing spectacle. l am
all mixed up on whether am
soldier or a sailor. I am too wet to
be a soldier and too dry to be .
sailor. Except sometimes like in
these beachhead operations when
I am wetter than they even let sail
ors get except when they get ship
wrecked.
never knew Europe and Asia
was so short of docks and piers.
It seems like no matter what place
we got to land on we got to get off
the boat out in the middle Of the
ocean where nobody never got off
of no boat before except he was
thrown off.
/ should of joined the navy. It Is
drier and swimming is not So COM
pulsory. Also when sailor gets off
a ship he waits until it has locked.
If he gets off before it docks he is
dressed for it. ! wish Mr.. Stimson
would design army pants so q G. /.
can shake them off in the water
like sailor can do with them sailor
pants.
I been all over this war and I
have not yet seen no sailors try
ing to swim from the sea to dry
land wearing clothes for a north
pole expedishun and loaded down
with everything ON their backs but
the ships anchors and trying to car
ry a anchor chain in one hand
and q rudder, steering wheel and
barrel Of bareback in the other.
-
The real secret Of the American
army's success on these beachheads
is this. The G. Is is so fighting mad
when they get ashore that they can
lick anybody and they espeshully
hate anybody who is there ahead
of them all nice and dry.
-
It gets to be habit. II my shoes
amt full of water now don't feel
the battle is offishul and if 1 can
unbutton my blouse and not have a
barrel Of water gush out / know
something is not regulashun alright.
Remember how you warned me to
keep warm and not get my feet wet
ON account Of used to catch cold
coming from the subway to- the fiat
In a April shower with no rubbers
on? Them was the days!, I can't
understand why being half-drowned
all the time now don't put me i'm
bed. Maybe got double-pneu-
monia all the time and don't even
feel it no more.
Well this is going to be a great
war to get out of and take up a
life where will have some idea If
I am a man or a duck. Being a
hero is okay but it feels better to be
a hero who is not always feeling
like he was a basket of wet wash.
I hope all the folks at home are dry.
ALI my love-
Oscar

Half-MiIlion Dollar
ArmOry Now Ready
At College Park

Maryland's new half-million
dollar Armory at College Park is
near complete and final touches
are being put on landscapine
around the imposing structure,
The building, of Georgian Colonial
architecture, is situated between
the Dairy and Administration
buildings.
Plans for the Armory were
drawn up three years ago and
construction was started in 1941.
1t has been in use by the Military
Department for some time though
certain equipment and furnishings
still are to be added.
A War Department inspector,
making a survey of college faclii
ties for military training recently,
declared that he had visited prac-
tically every college and univer-
sity east of the Mississippi River
and that he had seen none that
was better equipped than tire Uni
versity of Maryland for handling
the work.
The main floor includes a spac-
ious drill hall, large enough for
four basketball courts, which is
used by the Reserve Officer Train
ing Corps when unfavorable wealth
er prevents use Of the outside
drill field. When several hundred
Army Specialized Training Pro-
gram men were stationed on the
campus, the drill hall also was
used for physical training pur-
poses. Also on the first floor are
administrative Office of the Mill
tary Department.
The basement contains one of
the most modern rifle ranges in
the country, where ten men can
fire at targets simultaneously, a
-storeroom for 1000 summer and
winter uniforms, projection room
for the showing of training films,
a rifle storage room, a boxing
room, shower rooms, an ordance
store room, a lounge for men, Of
fices for staff members, and a
kitchen.
On the second floor arc ladies
lounge and powder room, and a
checkroom. The lounge is suffi-
cient large to accommodate small
parties and dances.
Fluorescent lighting is used
throughout the 280x160 foot brick
structure.
