Second Time Friendly C raft Touched Off Alarms In Canada.

VICTORIA, June 0-(0?) -_ Un- identified planes approaching the northerly port of Prince Rupert to- day caused a sudden "imminent danger" alarm-but it was lifted when the aircraft were identified as friendly.

It was the second time in Canada in a. month that an aircraft touch- ed off alarms. An unidentified bomber flying over the lake St. John area in Quebec May 26 caused a- larms to be sounded in various points before the plane WB-s identi- tled as "friendly."

In a statement tonight, western air command of the R. C. A. F. said:

"Owing to presence of unidenti- fied aircraft off northern coast of British Columbia, an at: raid alert was imposed at Prince Rulxrt at. 12:30 p. n1. June 9. The aircraft were later identified as friendly."

The sudden wailing of the immin- ent danger signal at 2:05 p. m. PD. T. (6:05 A.D.T.) caused schools to close and some industrial work to shut down some school children went into the woods, but there was no alarm among the population of the northern port,

Stores remained open, but most shopkeepers stood at their doors, looking toward the sky, and there was a general unwillingness to go indoors, A. R. P. wardens turned out, and stood by their posts, fu‘.y equipped for emergency.

The all clear was sounded two hours and five minutes later at 4:10 p.m. P.D.T. (8:10 A.D.T.)

Indications were that the north- ern rt would be blacked out. to- nigh and henceforth indefinitely Last night was the first night since June 3, when Japanese planes raid- ed the united States naval base at, Dutch Harbor. Alaska, that Prince Rupert had not observed a precau- tionary blackout.

During the imminent danger p01‘- iod, A. R. P. wardens were instruct- ed by police to clear the streets, because some pedestrians were un- vrilllnrg to go inside.

Military headquarters was guarded by a sentry and the area ccm- mflndflill. Col. S. D. Johnston. gave order that no one was to enter.

War Situation Last Night

(By KIEKE L SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst)

Whatever else Premier General Hidekl Tojo, the real ruler of Jap- an, told Emperor llirohito in his report on the war yesterday, he had only bleak tidings from the Midway Island area. The scope of the Jap- anese disaster there has swelled day by day, hour by hour as the re-

turns come in.

Tokyo's failure even to admit there has been s battle st all is proof

positive that u Jlrring blow has been struck not only in grim retaliation for Pearl Harbor; but at the very foundations of the Japanese conquest dream. How serious a blow Tlojo himself may not have known yet.

U

That the Japanese sea force fled the field under a radio blackout to Wfllle further American vengeance is wholly probable, There are strong indications its losses have not. yet been fully scored up. It: flight was so desperate once the Midway trap was sprung that. its inggard sea units, battered lame-duck craft, must have become a menace.

Thcy were the spoor of the sen trails. Falling behind uninjured or less damaged craft, they gave clues to the far-ranging American air scouts as to where their more fortunate fugitive comrades might be SB-elfing refuge. That could bring American submarines on scouting duty

into their path.

Nor could Japanese prllde permit surrender of Injured craft even

_when hopelessl out off. What happened to those enemy lame-ducks may

118W!‘ be known; but the ancient Samurai code to which Japan's mili- tary caste still clings suggest wholesale Bari-Kiri for ships and crews

somewhere in those wide waters. U U Q

Face-saving by self destruction when confronted with defeat or dis- grace still is a. functioning relic of Japanese feudalism, it is the fate that seems certainly in store for the Japanese who commanded or planned thlt ill-fated sortie against Midway Island. It. could have been ordered for wounded ships to blind the trail of those still able to run for refuge

somewhere.

Whatever happened to break American contact with the for: west o! Midway, the results of the battle cast a new and ominous shadow on

the "victory" summary of six Isld before the

puppet Emperor. Like the Coral
