The last report is that fighting still is underway, with indications a battle along the approaches of the Orient is building up to a | tremendous peak.. Jap Fleet In Action The Japanese announce ° their fleet is in action, although there are no indications here that it is 50. An engagement with the Japa- nese fleet has been eagerly sought by Admiral Halsey and his fighting men. Whatever the extent of the present engagement, the going is apparently not unfavorabble for the American forces, despite the fact the Japanese are making the strongest defense since their smash- ing defeat in the Philippine Sea on June 18 and 19.

Carrier planes first hit Formosa Wednesday and the Task Force fought off small groups of enemy aircraft. That night the task force again bombed and strafed island installations and shipping. Jap Counter-attack Thursday, planes of the Japa- nese Imperial Air Force counter- attacked the task force off For- mosa strongly and throughout Thursday night. Admiral Nimitz says his use of the phrase “Imperial Air Force," indicated the Army as well as the Navy planes might have partici- pated in the counter-attack, but he gave no indication whether the Japanese actually sent carrier- based planes into the battle during the Thursday night attacks. Enemy Planes Downed American carrier planes downed 13 Japanese planes and anti-air- craft on the task force vessels de- stroyed seven more. At dawn on Friday, the carrier aircraft of the Third Fleet, feeling sure of themselves, divided forces struck both Formosa and Luzon, encountering little air op- position over the targets. Preliminary reports here are that 11 Japanese planes were shot down and 30 destroyed on the ground. There are no reports on damage to enemy installations. Attacks In Kuriles In a second communique issued he reported widespread attacks against enemy shipping in which 20 small vessels and five barges were damaged. Liberators attacked nine small cargo ships near Matsuwa Island in the Kuriles, and Mitchells bombed Paramushiro and Shimu- shu, also in the Kuriles, hitting installations.
