forcements to peachnea0. weeks of darkness and defeat. Then, on Friday morning. May the 8th. Americans received their first great good news of the war.
 Victory Route
 Their fleet had struck back in the battle of the Coral sea. When the full reports were in weeks later, America realized that it at last was on the way toward victory. The Japanese lost IS ships sunk, includ- ing a new aircraft carrier, and 20 ships damaged.
 And the Japanese also lost their best chance to invade Australia.
 Our losses were the famed air. carrier Lexington, one destroyer and one naval tanker.
 Radio Tokyo blamed the defeat on the weather.
 A month of silence followed while our navy built up to its next great battle-the battle of Midway.
 On the morning of June the third. naval patrol planes on a routine scouting flight saw something that changed the course of the war. They saw a strong force of enemy war ships about TOO miles off Midway Island heading east.
 American air power in the Pacific still was painfully limited, but nine Flying Fortresses were dispatched to intercept the Jap fleet units. Our warships and other planes followed when available. And in the next two days, 10 Japanese ships went to the bottom. including four aircraft carriers.
 In addition, the enemy had eight other ships damaged and 275 planes destroyed. Some 10000 Japanese were killed. Up to that time, 1t was the greatest naval defeat in the l,000-year history of Japan. Our losses in the sea battle which saved Hawaii from invasion were one carrier and one destroyer. The victory, beginning with the discovery by the patrol planes. was summed up by an American air general: "The navy found the enemy atns ,,,a.,s army, s.r,, 7 navy and marines gave Break Jap Backbone The back of the Japanese navy had been broken.

UNITED TR0LlERS WANT FACILITIES
 MARINE REPAIR

The long fight by local fishermen to obtain additional marine repair and storage facilities for Juneau was revived at last nights City Council meeting when a letter was read from the United Trollers of Alaska Local 56, stating the case of the fishermen and asking that the City make available a lot, between 10th and 11th Streets, to anybody who would install such facilities.
 Mayor A. B. Hayes pointed out that the city could not sell the lot without the voters permission and that the council could not tell the buyer what use he should make of the property.
 Carl Weidman, who has fished out of Juneau for the past Is years, told the council and mayor that three fishermen had moved out of Juneau lately because of lack of re- pair facilities. He then stated that in Ketchikan's Thomas Basin fisherman storing his boat for the winter, could plug in on city power at a very low rate and have his boat heated during the winter, thus preventing the vessel from becoming too damp.
 The letter also pointed out that costly gear should be stored in a loft and in many cases, local fisher men had to leave it on the boats all winter.
 Benefits Cited
 The trollers say that 255 addit- ional boats would come into Juneau to outfit if they could get their boats repaired here. They pointed out that the present fleet of ITS trollers represents a $2,O00,000 industry, which includes repair, payroll and equipment"
 Mayor Hayes said three firms were negotiating now to put in marine ways in Juneau. One of these is the Juneau Marine Supply Com pany.
 It was decided after further dis cussion that the matter of disposing of the lot would have to come be- fore the voters at the next municipal election.
