Japs. Claim Big Sea Victory In Solomons
NEW YORK. December 6. Another smashing sea victory has been claimed by Tokio official radio. It says that Japanese naval planes on Friday night south of Bougainville, northern Solomons, sank a United States battleship, three aircraft-car-riers and two cruisers and set fire to another battleship and probably sank one heavy cruiser and one destroyer. Japanese losses were given as six planes. Last month the Japanese claimed to have sunk 10 carrier's and three battleships, when in fact they sank only one baby flat-top.
