993,000 enemy aliens are registered in U.S.
Baltimore, Md. –
Immigration Commissioner Earl G. Harrison disclosed today that 993,000 enemy aliens were registered in the wartime identification program, but he said only a small segment were disloyal to this country.
He told the 25th conference of the National Association of Secretaries of State that this nation must not succumb “to any hysterical distrust of the disloyalty minority in any manner that would leave needless scars on the loyalty or faith” of the thousands of others.
I cant see the picture, but it must be somewhere else than Midway. Only few planes attacked Yorktown, and the Japanese lost most planes when the carrieres went down, and the rest had to ditch.

The picture has been posted! And, no, it was from the Battle of Midway.
I still desagree. As I see it, the planes on your picture are flying towards you, which means it should have been taken from Yorktown. On the official picture from the attack on Yorktown the planes are clearly flying from left to right, and the smoke pattern are quite different.
Is there and content somewhere that deals with the problem the 20 mm had with taking a plane down, thus shifting later to 40 mm? And I guess the VT fuse will get its own story?

It wasn’t.
It was actually photographed from USS Pensacola, June 4. The Yorktown was not captured in the photo.
