1942. Pearl Haroor still was an open wound. Thirteen Allied warships went into battle against 99 .Japa- nese vessels.
 Disastrous Battle
 The thirteen American, Austral- ian, Dutch and British vessels made up our so-called Asiatic fleet. In the three-day holocaust which fol- lowed, our Asiatic fleet was sunk, One thousand Americans died.
 The news was hard for America to take. It was our most serious naval defeat since Pearl Harbor But when the full story was told later, America was proud. The Asi- atic fleet was revealed to have been in reality suicide squadron, with out capital ships, and without iIl- tention of fleeing. Its mission was to delay the enemy as long as poS- sible and to die gloriously.
 It fulfilled that mission, sink ing at least one Jap cruiser and one destroyer before its last mast dipped below the waves.
 That the American naval officers and men in the squadron knew they were expendable was proved in a letter one of the officers wrote his family before the battle. The let- ter spoke of death, duty and des- tiny.
 It ended with these words: T don't believe I would want to he any place but right here"

 The next real showdown came at Guadalcanal.
 From Aug. 8. 1922. through the six months of the Guadalcanal campaign, the Japanese forfeited GA ships, including two battleships sunk. Our losses were half those or the Japanese.
 Tn one three-day battle of the Solornons campaign, American fleet units pulled one of the most daring raids in naval annals. Several, Amer ican cruisers, locating Jap Arr mada split in two lines, raced m between the enemy vessels. firing full blast at both columns. The Japs at first refrained from firing back for fear of hitting one another.
 Night was falling rapidly, and It was raining hard. Under cover of the rain and duck, the Americans plowed clear through the Jap coi- umn, leaving the Jap ships finally to blaze away-at one another.
 Hit Invasion Attempt
 On March 2, 1943-Another Jap anese invasion fleet was bounced upon and destroyed-this time by airpower alone in the battle of the Bismarck sea. General Macarthur announced that American planes had scored a complete victory

 The Duke reached the White House six minutes ahead of his 11:45 a. m. appointment. He was greeted by William Simmons, ex- ecutive office receptionist. Sim mons shook hands with the Duke, smiled and said:
 "Kow do you do, Your Royal Highness?" 7.
 "Fine, thank you" the Duke re- piled.
 "What do you have to say for publication?" a reporter asked.
 "Nothing!" the Duke replied with a grin.
 He walked quickly through the narrow aisle of newspaper and ra- dio correspondents on the Japanese surrender vigil and disappeared into the Presidents office.

Formal Surrender flakes Place Soon

11ndon, Aug. lG-CUP)- British lourcss understood today that Jap tn'e formal surrender will take H|nce either aboard an Allied bat t|eship or at Okinawa.
 (Reports have been circulating in fhc United States for some time that the surrender will be signed ahoofa the American hattleship Missouri, named after President Humans home state. It was ex- pected that either Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Admr. Chester w. Nim- itz or both would accept the Jap nnese surrender.)
 sRadio Melbourne quoted a Guam broadcast as saying that 1t was believed American and British war ships soon would steam into Jap atiese ports.)
 Formal Ceremony Soon
 The ceremony will be held as soon as possible after Japan's decision to surrender has been confirmed, informants aid.
 Authoritative quarters in London believed the imperial message prom ised by Tokyo would be Japan's out right surrender. They cautioned, however, that a possibility remained that the enemy rer'..' might include some new qualification.
 Allied plans for announcing the surrender were in state of flux, British sources said. If the Japanese radio announces an outright sur render, a joint four-powear an- nouncement probably will be made at later date making the surrend- CT official and giving details.
 Tokyo radios broadcast that Jap an has decided to s''rrende2 was re- ported in London shortly before ' q. m. and too late for the morning paper.

 the last weeks of the war.
 The battle began when American submarines located major Japanese fleet units in the China sea two days before the actual clash be- tween ships. The underseas craft kept our Third informed on the course of the enemy vessels.
 The Jap task force consisting of about 60 ships-Steamed on down from the China sea, through Sur agao Strait and into the trap. F1f- ty-eight of the vessels were sunk or damaged in the battle that fol- lowed. The enemy ships blasted to the bottom included two battle wagons, six cruisers, four carriers and at least 10 destroyers. Seven other battleships were damaged. Only one or two destroyers escaped.
 We lost six ships and ten planes
 The second battle of the Philip pines was rated by the navy as one of the most decisive of modern times. A United tSates correspon- dent reported from Admiral Mit- chers flagship: "The Jap fleet had come out in one last reckless plurge and somehow we all could sense itS suicidal intent to do or die in Q glorious attack against our Philip pines offensive"
 The Japanese fleet never showed up again. If there was any of the Japanese navy left. it apparently was being saved to fight the sea battle that never came.

London, Aug. 14-CUP)-The first trial of Austrian war criminals be- gan in Vienna today when four Austrian members of the Naxf SS Corps appeared before the Peoples Court, cnarged with the murder of 102 Hungarian Jews, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch.
 The accused men were guards ct the Engerau concentration camp on the Danube opposite Hratislavs, Czechoslavakia. where the Mass murders were said to have occurred.

 His air coverage Is decimated with 55 planes shot down.
 And his ground personnel of i5.- 900 men destined to attack New Guinea were sunk or killed almost to a man."
 It was the greatest victory ever scored by planes against ships.
 The Japs were defeated so thor oughly during the Guadalcanal and Bismark sea battles that it was more than a year before large enemy fleet units again came out of hiding.
 Then, on June 19, 1944, off the Philippines the Japanese lost l1 warships sunk or damaged 37s planes. We didn't lose single ship.
 But another great battle was in the making.
 The second battle of the Philip pines made the first look like a yacht club outing. On October 2S. 1924, our Third and Seventh fleets were on the prowl off the Philip pines much as the Third Fleet haunted the coast of Japan during
