This Week. At War
By Albert Reddhh
Routing the imperial Japanese
navy, the American Third and
Seventh fleets this week relieved
the danger presented in a massive
challenge to American liberation
of the Philippines by the Nip fleet
as it raced out of hiding.
Tho outnumbered and at first
placed in a perilous situation, the
U. S. units succeeded in repulsing
the Japs and inflicting the "most
crushing defeat of the war." Mhc

the Jap navy "can only be on a
dwindling scale."
