Washington, June 16.— Strik-
ing again at the Japanese, this
time far north in the Aleutians,
American air power has sunk at
least one cruiser and damaged
seven other vessels, including an
aircraft carrier, it was officially
disclosed Monday night
The Idows were delivered upon
a Jap force striving desperately
to break into the Western Hemi-
sphere by conquering a few bleak
islands far out in the northern
Pacific.
While officials refrained from
making any decisive claims, it ap
peared to many authorities that a
third great American sea-air vic-
tory was in the making to add to
those which only recently repelled
the .enemy, in destructive routs.
