BIG MARCUS RAID
NEW YORK, Muy 22.
Tokio radio said that 132 American carrier planes participated in seven raids against Marcus Island on Saturday and Sunday. It added that the Americans used decoying tactics, sending out two naval forces, one to lure defending aircraft away from their base and the other to strike. The Associated Press comments that the Americans apparently successfully split the defending forces. American medium bombers attacked Ponape on Friday and Saturday, states a Washington communique. /
