Dispatches from

ep
orter aboard

Liberator
over Iwajalein described the air over the island as bein
filled
with
American planes, while the sea is literally

Uncle Sam's fi hting ships.
So far there is no confirmation
from
Admiral
Nimitz of the Japane

In f

have been the principal sources of argument between
