Makes Daring Raid
m Jap’s “Front Yard."
Washington, March 12. (UP)
—Ac American submarine—
attacking boldly in Japan’s
“Front yard”—has sunk four
enemy ships, the navy report-
ed today m a communique
which also gave the cheering
news that Midway island still
stands.
The daring submarine foray,
directed at the root of the long
Japanese supply lines to the
South Pacific, accounted for
three enemy freighters and a
passenger-cargo ship. It was
the third time within two
months that U. S. submarines
had struck in Japanese borne
waters.
Disclosure that Midway still
fights on was contained in a
terse account of action in the
central Pacific theatre, relat-
ing that four U. S. fighter
planes based on that island
shot down one of two big Jap-
anese seaplanes west of Mid-
way on March 1C. This was
the first official word about
Midway since Jan. 29 when
the navy announced two ene-
my submarines had appeared
off the island with the inten-
tion of shelling it, but were
driven off by artillery fire.
Midway, 1,150 miles north-
west of Pearl Harbor, first was
attacked the night of Dee. 7.
In the earty stages of the war
it was feared the island—like
Guam and Wake—would fall
to the enemy. Word from
there has come at rare inter-
vals.
The successful submarine
thrust raised to 88 the numbe.r
of Japanese ships sunk by
American forces since start of
the war. In ail, 149 enemy
vessels have been sunk or crip-
pled by Americans.
American submarines now
are known to have sunk at
least eight enemy craft in
Japanese home waters. Previ-
ous successes in that area
were announced Jan. 17,’ when
a single submarine sank three
merchant ships off Tokyo bay,
and on Feb. 19 when a 5,000-
ton ship was sunk in the East
China sea.
In all three instances, the
attacks were carried out by a
single submarine.
The latest success was an-
nounced less than 24 hours af-
ter Admiral Thomas C. Hart,
former commander of the Al-
lied fleet in the Southwest Pa-
cific, paid tribute to the sub-
marines as "the greatest pow-
er of the American Asiatic
fleet.”

MESSICE TO MEETS
TOM Kill
3ft. S. Winfrey, Jr., native
of Shelby county, has arrived
in Australis and is with'other
members of the American Ex-
peditionary Force sent there in
an effort to stem the tide of
Japanese conquest.
Sgt. Winfrey notified his
parents, in a message by radio
and relayed by wire, of his
safe arrival, stating that he
had “Arrived Ok.” and ask-
ing them “not to worry.
This is the first word received
from their son in about six
weeks.
He has been in the army
about two and one-half years,
enlisting September 19, 1989,
at Barksdale Field, La., where
some months of training was
received. Further training
was received at Scott Field,
Illinois and Lowr;.- Field, Cole
rado. Prior tc leaving for a
port of sailing he was station-
ed at Savannah, Ga. It is
thought that severai other
young men from this plac-
have also landed in Australia,
as they were also located at
Savannah, and it is understood
that they were transferred to
the same port. These men
were: John Motley, son of
Mrs. G. H. Motley, Robert
Bryan, son of Mr. and Mr?. J.
0. Bryan and Phillip Childs,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Childs. This is conjecture and
remains to be verified by in-
formation from these Timpson
boys.
Sgt. Winfrey attended Timp-
sor. high school, and presum-
ably ia one of the first Shelby
county soldier* to place foot
on the Australian soil in the
new war.
