Australian Ship Damaged.
Presumably 1t was this action in
which the HMS Australia was su-
perficially damaged. Gen. MacAr-
thur reported extremely light losses
in Leyte Gulf. saying several PIT
boats were sunk or damaged and one
destroyer was damaged.
The fiercest though shortest Of
the three battles began Tuesday
morning when Admiral Halsey en-
gagged the Imperial carrier force
from Formosa about 300 miles north
east OF Luzon.
Repeated carrier plane attacks
took the Japanese so completely by
surprise they were able to launch
only few aircraft.
Aerial bombing and torpedoing
was followed Tuesday night by
cruiser and destroyer bombardment
of japanese cripples.
Admiral Nimitz's first incomplete
report on this action listed two car
riers and two light cruisers as def
nitely sunk, one carrier and two bat
tleships probably sunk and two bat
tleships, three cruisers and number
OF destroyers damaged.
He said none of the American
ships was damaged although at

OF course, the figure Is much

Donald Nelson Urqes
Roosevelt Reelection
To Bar Future Wars
Ey the Associated Press,


Donald NJ Nelson, describing him
self as an independent voter, SAYS
the Nations chances of preventing
future wars depend largely on Pres
ident Roosevelt's craftsmanship.
In radio address last night the
former War Production Board
chairman urged the Presidents re-
election and said "his (Mr. Roose-
velt's) actions and words play a
big part in shaping the attitude OF
our Allies, the attitude of neutrals
and even the morale of the en-
emy
The Presidents decisions can 90
long way toward assuring postwar
Jobs for all and good wages for all
We need to elect a man who
we know-not guess but knows
able to work out the great problems
which lie before us"
Mr.. Nelson described the Presi-
dent as the man with the best
know-how for that job"
The President, he said, has shown
how deeply he is devoted to democ-
racy and the American way of life"
In his relations with the WPB bv
backing WPB policy of fair play
for business" This policy, Mr.. Mel
son said, kept controls at a mini
mum and kept intact the basic
institutions of the country"
In describing himself as an indie
pendent voter who had voted Re-
publican in the past more often than
Democratic, Mr.. Nelson said he
picked candidates just as he would
pick new business employees.
Il don't know any other man who
measures up to him (Mr. Roosevelt)
for that job" he said. Our chances
OF preventing future wars and OF
improving our trade with other
countries depend largely on his able
craftsmanship"

anese battleship units from the
Sibuyan Sea.
Both Japanese battleship forces
were attacked repeatedly, Monday
afternoon by planes from Admiral
Kinkaid's escort carriers. In the
larger northern force from the
Sibuyan Sea, American pilots dam
aged all four battleships with bombs
and torpedoed one of the battleships
and one cruiser. In the Sulu Sea
force, they bombed both battleships
and severely strafed all lighter units.
Despite damage, both enemy
battleship forces continued toward
Leyte with suicidal desperation
and a suicidal move 1t became.
The Sibuyan Sea battleship force
steamed through San Bernardino
Strait between Luzon and Samar
Islands Monday night. Tuesday
morning 1t engaged one lightly pro-
tected Kinkaid escort carrier group
in the first surface battle since the
Battle Of Empress Augusta Bay in
November. l943.
Allied cruisers and destroyers re-
turned the fire, supported by planes
from both the Kinkaid escort carrier
force and a strong group of large
carriers which we're rushed over by
Admiral Halsey. The combined
aerial-surface attack routed this
Japanese force, which Tuesday
night fed back through San Ber-
nardino Strait.
This battle cost the Japanese one
heavy cruiser sunk by aircraft and
one by ships gunflre, four battle
ships heavily damaged by bombs

destroyer left dead in the sea.
