JAPS MAY GAMBLE
NAVY OFF LUZ0N
Continued from Page One)

WOHtluueu from rage Oue)
Since the Leyte beaches were as
saulted, Fleet Admiral Nimitz has
given the Pacific Fleets full power
to supporting the Philippines cam
paign.
There is the closest kind of col
laboration between Macarthur
and Nimitz. They conferred at
MacArthur's headquarters Christ
mas week to work out final details
of the coordination of their forces
for the conquest of Luzon. Nimitz
will back Macarthur with h e
Third Fleets carrier planes until
the Japanese Luzon garrion is ov-
ercome.
Nimitz' first responsibility in the
coordinated Luzon campaign is to
prevent Japanese planes and
troops from reaching Lpzon from
Formosa. The Japanese can be
expected to deliver both at Luzon.
They were perfectly willing to
expend large numbers of troops in
reinforcing Leyte and Guadalcan-
al.
In this campaign, however, the
Third Fleets control of the sea
north of Luzon should be complete.
Any transport convoy would be a
profitable target for Third Felt
carrier pilots.
The only way the japanese would
have a fair chance of reaching Lu-
ION with troops would be for their
remaining battle fleet to come out
to cover the transport convoy and
engage the Third Fleet.
Any battle force the japanese
now could send out would not be
powerful enough to destroy Adm.
William F. Halsey's Third Fleet.
In fact, under the right circum-
stances, Halsey might have a good
chance to wipe out most of the
first line naval strength which ia
pan has left,
In the second battle of the Phil
ippines, some damaged japanese
battleships escaped to the empire.
These ships now may be repaired
and ready to go to sea again.
Whether the Japanese have any
new or repaired carriers ready for
action is uncertain.
But the Nipponese likely could
send out a battle force of several
capital ships. Such a force would
be strong enough to make a seri-
Gus try at reinforcement of Luzon,
with the Third Fleet ready to in
tercept.
That is the kind of action the
next engagement between h e
American and Japanese fleets is
likely to be.
| The Japanese reaction will be
more immediate in the air. They
could commit virtually all bombers
and fighters available in the home
land to the defense of Luzon. Their
| bombers can attack Macarthur S
troops and transports from Formo-
sa bases. 1t is about 600 miles
from Formosa to Manila.
Already Halsey's fleet has stuck
hard at Formosa' air bases to cut
down the enemy's air power there.
But the Nipponese can fly planes
from Japan to Formosa in half a
day.
The Third Fleets carriers don t
have an easy job in the assign
ment Of curbing Japanese air re-
Inducements at FormoSa.
The strategic import of t h e
American invasion of Luzon IS
plain. Manila Bay is a magnifi-
cent fleet anchorage for naval
base. Luzon and the Philippines are
the first large land area with a
friendly population properly locat-
ed for staging ful1scale military
operations that the Americans
have tried to capture.
A base like that is essential for
mounting future attacks against
the real power of the japanese
army in Formosa, in China or in
.Japan's homeland.

ment Of just under 1000 stu

Prof. Atlee L. Percy, director, re-
vealed today that certain defin-
lite trends Of interest on contem-
porary subjects are predominant
throughout the 400 different
courses Of study.
Professor Percy attributes the
high enrolment to three definite
factors. the acceleration of reg
u!ar University students in their
studies, the return to summer
study by teachers who have
spent their vacations in war
work during the past several
seasons; and the ambition OF
World War II veterans to secure

Catholics Blast
BiIbO's Attacks

NEW YORK - Accommodating
wrath over Sen. Blboa's "slurs"

Italian-Americans attended the
demonstration.
Bilbo was again assailed for
his grave diSService to national
unity in letter made public
last Thursday by the Commit
tee of. Catholics for Human
Rights. The letter denounced
his conduct as "a chilling deter
ent to the belief that America is
the symbol Of democratic free
dom and human rights"
The committee explained that
the letter is reply to "3ilto's
attacks against Catholics Jews,
colored people and italians who
support a fair employment prac-
tees act"
The national chairman Of the
committee is Senator Murray

members are Gov Lausche Of
