 They could make fires only in daylight when the flames wouldn't show. and even then they had 10 keep them small for fear of smoke. They slept in their clothes without tents Of any kind. They couldn't smoke after dark and had to move always with the Idea that some Jap was probably looking down at them from the next foggy peak. Their or ders were simply to scout the island and engage and destroy any enemy found. They could not use the' radio 10 summon help. unless a big. Of enemy troops was discovered.
 And their job was far more than simply to exist When the Colonel ordered a private 10 find a gun pos ition he meant that the private should sfrsl 1aeife where the gun ought to be. its range and fire con- cealment possibilities. the praetica- 5iIity of setting up a camp nearby, and finally. whether a road could be built there and how long it| would take.
 The Colonel one daF told a scout lc locate such a position and when the scout returned he was able To trace on map the road route. but. il was quite crooked. The Colonel asked why and the scout replied.

HEADQUARTERS. ALASKA DE- TENSE COMMAND-The scouts are home again-and probably taking a rest by climbing a couple of mountains just to keep in shape.
 The fact that they are home is not news in itself. but it does make possible 10 reveal that the success ful army occupation of an island in the Andreanof group last month was largely due to enc work Of one Of the toughest outfits in the ser vice. a mere platoon to whom a 40- mile hike is just a Warm-up for the days work and a slice of dried sal mon almost as good as 3 full meal.
 These scouts officially are known as the combat intelligence platoon of the Alaska Defense Command but that name seldom arises in Conyer- sation about them. Here and every where in the lonesome places Of AL aska they rapidly are becoming known as the near fabulous Cast ner's Cutthroats."
 Their name arises from Colonel Lawrence V. Castner. son of famous Major General Joseph C. lBulD Castner. who retired as commander of Fort Lewis in 1888 after a long army career which included map ping some sections Of Alaska
 A Tough Bunch
 With that background, as well as West Point. former membership on the |. s. Olympic games fencing team and military service in many parts of the world the Colonel says flatly that these are the best sold iers in the army. He shorts at any comparison with the Commandos and says these men are so much tougher they make the Commandos look like sissies ans the Marines like schoolboys
 Here's what the platoon did to earn it's commanders enthusiasm:
 Late in August after months of training. the entire platoon board ed vessels at a western Alaskan port and took off across Boring sea with homemade boats lashed to the decks and rubber boats inside. ready for imitation. The vessels ev- entually arrived off the island to be l occupied. At that time nobody in the United States army knew whether the Japs were occupying that fogbound shore in force. whether it might be sprouting machine guns. or whether a small force was there ready 10 flash the warning which would bring bomb CTS from Kiska within a matter of hours.
 The vessels were unable even to enter the harbor, because it is un- eharted and probably full of rocks, so instead they hove to in an open sea which was running so high that occasional waves lapped over the. deck In the dead of night. more than a mile from shore. the platoon launched a series Of clumsy rubber boats with stubby oars and a few extra paddles. The boats contained

T dug holes all over the valley. That route offers the best roadhed. Il Is the right grade so that guns of that ealiber can be hauled into position with trucks with such and such power in such and such time
 When the guns finally were in position the Colonel checked and found the scout had been loo per cent right on each item, although he spent only q few hours looking over the ground and never had been either an engineer or traction ex= pert
 After more than a week fhe First large contingent of soldiers arrived in what they thought was miserable weather By then. most Of the scouts had been without sleep for at least aS hours Nevertheless. each took over the job of guiding some unit 10 it's new position. then returned To the landing scene to guide an- other unit That went on for two days How well il was done was il- lustrated by several protests to Gastner by the commanders of the new units. who said that the guides were going across the tundra so last their troops were unable to keep up.
 When that job was done thel scouts gathered around their firesI and took time out to wash theirI faces. They even enjoyed a fewl

Control Differences

OTTAWA, May 9 canadian
Press ).-Canadian beef cattle ship
ped to the United States from Janu-
airy / to May 7 numbered 94,859
head against 35 ,e86 for the same
period last year, the Agriculture
Department reported today.
From April l. the date on which
Canada started filing a quota Of
81, 100 head for the second quarter
of the year, 47,269 head were shipped
to May 7.
yesterday, the Agriculture De-
partment announced the United
States now is collecting full duty
of three cents a pound on beef
cattle imports, subject to rebate on
cattle which enter before the quota
has been filed. The preferred duty
on which the quota is based Is Ia
cents a pound0
Receipts Again Normal.
In contrast to recent beef short
ages on some Eastern markets, the
department reported a normal run
of cattle on the Toronto market,
while Montreal had a demand suf-
ficiently strong to force prices high
er. Any sharp declines at Winni-
peg were checked by demand for
domestic slaughter although buying
for export was light.
A summary Of cattle sales at
public stockyards and direct to pack
ing plants showed an increase from
332,818 head in 18 weeks Of 1941
to 380,914 head in 1912
The livestock market review, is
sued by the department, placed hog
carcass gradings at 2,226,043 for the
first four months Of this year against
2,065,377 for the same period in 1941.
Price Differences Cited.
The record flow of cattle across
the border this year has been due
largely to attractive prices prevail
ing there, officials said.
Farmers organizations recently
made representations for a relaxa-
ton of the price-ceiling regulations
in Canada to permit farmers to OBJ
tain higher price for cattle which
are fed grain during the winter
month and go to market In the
early part of the year. They said
the price ceiling on retail beef prices
was applied on the basis of Septem-
Der 15-October II prices when grass
fed cattle which cost less to produce
were being marketed.
1t was understood Canadian au-
thorities are watching price ceiling
steps now being taken in the United
States, with the possibility some
adjustment in Canadian beef prices
may be made to keep them In line
with those across the border.
An arrangement may be made for
slightly higher prices to be available
to farmers for granted cattle, with
the additional cost passed on to the
consumer during the winter and
spring months. For the remainder
of the year, the existing price CELL
ing on the basis Of grass-fed cattle
prices would be continued.
