Hull Denounces Statements Of Captain Lyttleton

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21. -(AP-In sharp rebuttal to the inference that America, in the months preceding Pearl Harbor, followed "the single policy of self defense" Secretary of State Cordell Hull denounced what he termed as an entirely erroneous assertion by Britain's production minister, Captain Oliver Lyttle- ton.
 In personal apology, the Cap tain said he had no intention of leaving the impression that he be- lieved American lend-lease to Britain had forced Japan to at tack the United States.
 Reporters claimed that during a passage in his speech before an American Chamber of Commerce in London, Lyttleton made refer ence to America,s entry into the war.
 Captain ,Lyttletonj said today: AS nearly as I can remember, andf it is certainly what I had in- tended to say, I had said: The Japs considered American policy as war-provoking. only because they chose to do SO in their ag- gressor role

Japanese Armada Between Marianas And Philippines
By LIEF ERICKSON

U. S. PACIFIC FLEET
 HEADQUARTERS AT PEARL HAHSOR. June 21.-tAp)-Tne
 Japanese naval armada-'pos- sibiY inc entire Japanese fleet" has moved out between the Philippines and the invaded Marianas. Admiral Nirnitx an nounced yesterday.
 He h;nted dramatically of the history making battle with the American fleet, which may be even now underway
 Already it is possible that damage has been inflicted on the Japanese warships," the Admiral said:
 Nimitz further stated, "There is the possibility that major naval engagement might result earlier than expected, as the Tokyo ra- dio told the Japanese people that a huge naval battale was in the making, and promised them a de cisive victory
 There is the possibility, also that some damage has already been inflicted on enemy surface craft, and these blows might have been dealt by either carrier task force or naval forces. Either way might mark the be- ginning of the first stages of the battle
 "Three hundred planes, pre- sumably carrier-based. signalled the presence of enemy warships in the area, as they were shot down attacking the American task force," Nimitz said, "bringing the enemy plane losses since the start of the Marianas operations to nearly 600."
 The admiral expressed his con- viction that the enemy has thus far been able to replace plane losses to date.
 "Once we take the Marianas. it will be like money in the bank. and we can project our sea power hundreds of miles to the west" said Nimitz, knocking on wood.
 He added: "There have been no major American combatant units lost in the Marianas strike" :"

Eigth Army Hurl Germans From
 Town of Perugiia

ROME, June 21.-(AP)-Eight Army veterans hurled the last stubborn Nazi defenders out of ancient Perugia, communica- tions hub, 85 miles north of Rome, and advanced some four miles north of the city, it was reported today.
 Allied headquarters said the allied drive was still in steady motion, although the Germans had thrown elements of seven divisions against the right flank on the Fifth Army's front in an effort to slow its pace, but the Fifth Army fought through four more villages, making what head quarters termed, minor tactical gains.
 The Mediterranean Air Force headquarters announced that Thunderbolts of the First Tactical Air Force, have severely damaged an enemy aircraft carrier in Genoa, believed to be an Italian ship being refitted.
 Mobilized forces have been greatly handicapped for the past three days, while heavy rains made some roads impossible.
 After clearing Perugia, the Eighth Army troops headed after the retreating Germans in sev- eral directions.

Admiral King Says Naval Battle
 Is A Possibility

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21 -CAP)-Admiral King today ex- pressed his appreciation for the long expected cooperation of the Japanese navy, which is ap- parently moving into battle posi- tions, and he said he was confi- dent of the outcome of the pros pective naval engagement in the western Pacific.
 The sooner the Japanese fleet decides to fight it out" the ad- miral said, "the better we will be satisfied
 Secretary of the Navy James V. ForreS'al reported that, "despite the strict radio silence in the Pa cific, there has been some indi- cation that the American forces have succeeded in catching up with all or part of the Jap fleet"
 Forrestal reported, "The Jap anese fleet has been sighted sev- eral times in the past few days milling around about 500 miles west of Saipan Island, just east of the Philippines
 "Jap planes attacked American naval units near Saipan Sunday, indicating that planes apparently came from carriers about 500 miles to the westward" the sec retary continued.
 He added:
 The Japanese plan seems to have been to launch the craft from carriers with the idea that after the attack, the planes would be able to land at Guam and Rota, Jap-held bases in the Mar ianas.
 We have no further details resulting from the air battle, other than the fact that we are ready for the kill"
 "Our carrier planes, ships, and anti aircraft guns wiped out most of the Japanese planes Admiral King disclosed.
 The admiral added:
 "The plans which have long been under consideration is that the American-British forces are to be directed against Japan when possible, to swing the strength to the Pacific and away from Eu- rope. ~pEx |
