Still In Enemy Waters
Allied Fleet Units By Telegraph—N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright (Received 8.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, July 22. THE Guam correspondent of the Associated American * Press says that Admiral Nimitz’s communique partly answers the mystery of the whereabouts of the American fleet since the Tokio strike. Light units smashed a fourship convoy only five miles from the very mouth of Tokio’s outer bay, while a similar task squadron shelled Omura, 550 miles south of Tokio. The fact that the fleet is able to separate into small units for various missions in the heart of the enemy’s seas itself is significant of the lack of opposition. The whereabouts of the British and American heavy units are still wrapped in a security blackout.
