BIG LAND PLANES
NEED FOR RAID ON N.Z.
ADMIRAL GHORMLEY'S VIEW
(0.C.) WELLINGTON, this day Admiral Robert L. Ghormley, commander of the Allied Forces in the South Pacific, received pressmen to-day, and for an hour answered questions mostly with the preliminary warning: "This is off the record. He was asked whether New Zealand ran a risk of heavy bombing raids, and pointed out that this would necessitate the using of heavy land planes. "But the land is not here for their use." It was suggested that a likely form of attack if it comes would be tip and run raids. "I would say." replied Admiral Ghormley. "that that would probably be the line of attack, unless there was a tremendous naval force to clear the way ahead." Admiral Ghormley stated that he had been promised most hearty cooperation from the New Zealand chiefs of staff.
