sunk include one destroyer, two large whale tankers one large transport, 10 large cargo ships, 12 medium cargo ships, one floating drydock and two barges.
 Other Damage Done
 Adm. Nimitz reported that in addition to this heavy damage in- flicted on planes and ships, much damage was done to military ob- jectives adjacent to the Clark Field, Nicholas Field and to the fields themselves. "Our loss in this su- perlatively successful attack, that apparently caught the enemy com- pletely by surprise, was Is air craft. Several flight personnel were rescued. There was no damage to our surface ships"
 Powerful Strike
 The powerful strike taken is an indication that Adm Halsey, also charged with protecting the am- phibious forces engaged in captur- ing the southern Palau Island, is that the Palau operations are pro- ceeding so well it is safe to leave the large forces there lightly pro- tected from sea and air attack, and to renew his bold thrust against the Southern Philippines which began September 8.
 Terrific Destruction
 Destruction wrought on Japa- nese aircraft and shipping since the Halsey- -Mitscher team went hunting the Japanese in earnest in widely spaced raids are given in these amazing totals for the period from August 30 to Septem- Der 20
 Japanese losses of ships sunk, 90; probably sunk, A; damaged, AT; small craft sunk or damaged, IT.
 Japanese losses of aircraft, 869; probably destroyed, 29 damaged 10
 American losses are 20 flight planes, personnel loss IS, plus the yet unknown number missing II the Manila strike.
 No Ships Damaged, Lost
 Almost unbelievable is the Hal, sey- -Mitscher perfect record of no single ship lost or damaged de. spite the fact many vessels of tht fleet were within binocular viev of the Southern Philippines earlier in September.
 Raids were all within striking distance of land based Japanes' aircraft.
 The Japanese obviously have nt naval force based in the Philip pines capable of resisting the Am ericans. Presumably the Jap flee is nursing the wounds inflicted il the Philippine Sea battle of Jun' 19 and 20. The Japanese have of fered no naval opposition for near ly one month.
