 "I'd rather fly to Berlin nightly than to Kiska once" he said. T tell you, there's hell of war up there. Two wars really, one against the Japs and one against the weather Terrible Weather
 People think our men are sitting around up there. But our army and navy men are flying in weather which fogs their wing tips from view. They're living in a land bar ren of trees, where there is not one civilian To bomb Kiska they must fly farther than from London to Berlin, in weather that has no equal in the world"
 The great comedy" of the Aleu- tian war, Col. Zanuck said, is the Japanese attempt at radio propa- ganda. All United States fighting men hear on their land radios is a station in Japan. And 80 per cent of the broadcasting is done in Eng fish.
 They tell us how insane we are for fighting" he explains. They try to use American slang and they mispronounce it and they use words we haven't heard for twenty years. I don't see how they could sway high school student with it."
 Col Zanuck's job, to supervise the war of the cameras, which he calls Americas secret weapon" is one which has been little publicized.
 Recorded in Films
 In World War I, photographic records were only a few newsreel clips.
 But in World War II, Signal Corps cameramen all over the world are recording in still and in motion pie lures the story of the war. Actual combat, installations, living condi- tions are all going down on film.
 First the films are sent to the chief signal officer and his staff for review by the War Department. Then they are edited, so that mili- tary information will by no chance fall into the hands of the enemy.
 And then the. films are passed on for training of the fighting men who ,,,,,c+ eo,,,o dox, oo r., fba mo tJa- atres of operations. The films may eventually be released in part for public consumption.
 From them some day will come a pictorial history book, the greatest photographic story of war ever made, the greatest document of Am erican courage.
 U. s. Heroism in North
 And they will picture what Col. Zanuck and the men of the armed forces and the people of the little English island, and China, and all besieged countries, already know, but what some of the rest of us may not realize.
 That other war" says Col. Zan- uck, who as boy of sixteen was overseas with the infantry, "was fought in one place and you left it, and came back to it. But this war is everywhere. It's grim and it's bitter and there are no bands marching to the front. And the boys up there in the Aleutians are fight ing the worst part of it."

To Meet Costs
|OfLibeI Suits

Chairman Dies of the House Com
mittee to Investigate Un-American
Activities has asked that Congress
pay the expenses he has incurred IN
connection with two libel suits
brought against him.
Disclosing he had submitted bills
for $6ll to the House Accounts Com
mittee, Representative Dies said his
purpose was to obtain an expression
of policy as to whether Congress de-
sired that legal expenses incurred by
committee members through their
oficial actions should be borne by
the Government or by the individ-
uals involved. r.
"If it should be held that each
member must pay out Of his own
pockets these expenses" the Texan
said, "the first thing you know there
will be thousands of libel actions
filed against us and We will all be
bankrupt"
The $6l1, Representative Dies said,
represented the costs in two suits,
one filed by David Vaughan. Gov
eminent executive, and the other by
J. A. Potts of Richmond. Va. Mr..
Vaughan withdrew his action after
Mr.. Dies apologized. saying it was a
case of mistaken identity when he
accused Mr.. Vaughan Of affiliation

ton" Mr.. Dies said Mr.. Potts case
still is pending in the court.

CHICAGO, July 18.-Grain prices

cent at one time, but then rallied
to about the preceding sessions

Hedge selling and long liquidation
presisted in the wheat pit and the
small amount of mill buying at the
start was insufficient to keep the
market on an. even level. After the
early dip, wheat ran into resting
orders and short covering, which
stopped the downturn.
Corn. oats, rye and soybeanS were
all down small fractions. Along
with the bread cereal, they staged a
slight technical rally from the early
lows, but in most cases did not get
above yesterdays finish.
More anti-inf1ation talk in WASH

asm. Many traders thought the pos
sibility Of House passage of the bill
granting Government loans at 100
per cent of parity was unlikely as
long as the anti-infiation sentiment
persisted. Even If the bill should
pass, there was strong belief that
it would not receive presidential ap-
proval.
There was some feeling that the
anti-inf1ation drive might be di-
rected at farm prices. as we'll as at

To Be Worlds Best,
Gen. Arnold Says
Airborne Troops Troined
For Thrusts Where
Foe Is Leust Prepared

3, the Associated Press.
American air Commands, with
power to reach the enemy, strike
and move on, were fast getting into
trim today for offensive action.
1t. Gen. Henry H. Arnold. COM
mander of the air forces, disclosed
that the airborne Commands are
being trained to strike at the enemy
where he is least prepared"
While carefully guarding certain
details Of the new combat organiza-
ton, Gen. Arnold said that troop
transports and gliders would take
the men to their objectives where
their speed and firing power would
make them the spearhead of action
against the enemy.
The Importance Of swiftly moving
combat teams" said Gen. Arnold,
cannot be overestimated. This
will be a self f-contained force whose
soldiers, equipment and supplies are
all transported by air. 1t can now
be revealed that in size, equipment
and firepower the airborne army
will exceed anything of the kind the
world has yet seen."
Headquarters for the troop car
rier command, which will transport
the air Commands, have been set
up at Stout Field Ind, under the
command of Col. Fred S. Borum
Gen. Arnold said that several tao
tical stations under the command
Of the carrier organizations were
being established. 1t is there that
glider pilots will get flight training
before going into Commando work
"for coordination with the combat
groups"
In the training courses the attack
forces and glider pilots are beina
taught how to withdraw after their
work is done. How this is to be done
is a military secret, but it is known
that planes in flight have picked uI
and towed gliders from the ground
The Army also disclosed that vol

FoiIs to Appear
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, July 18.-The stock
market today continued to reflect
combination of doubtful war news.
anti-inf1ationary talk and threats OF
higher corporation taxes although
real liquidation never appeared.
Prices were hesitant at the start.
Both large-scale buyers and sellers
seemingly deemed 1t advisable to
retire to safety zones pending more
definite developments at Washing
ton and on Egyptian and Caucasian
battle fronts. The result was almost
a market stalemate.
The ticker tape loafed throughout
and, while small plus marks were in
evidence here and there at the close,
minor declines were plantiful. Trans
fers for the two hours of around
100000 shares were among the low
est in the past year or so.
Inflationary psychology cooled ap-
preciably as congressional author
tiles promised speedy consideration
for recommendations President
Roosevelt may make to link wage
stabilization authority to overall
price controls in the campaign tc
stem mounting living costs.
The new wage formula established
by the WLB in the case of little
steel" workers remained as a confus-
ing element for market prognostica-
tors. Acceptance Of the Labor
Boards steel pay award by the
unions was in line with financial
expectations.
Bonds were narrow. Major COM
modities inclined to slip.

SAN FRANCISCO. July i8.-The
United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals will sit en- banc August I to
hear the plea of Thomas Henry Rob-
inson, jr., for release from Alcatraz
Prison on q writ of habeas corpus,
it was announced yesterday.
Robinson was convicted Of kid
naping Mrs. Alice Stoll in Louis
vile, KY, on October 10, 1894. tax
ing her to Indianapolis. and coll
lecting $4,000 ransom. He was ar
rested in California two years later.
Robinson's pleas for freedom on a
habeas corpus writ have gone to
the United States Supreme Court,
which held the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals here erred in refusing Robin
son hearing on the merits Of his
plea.
The kidnaper based his plea on
the grounds that he was insane and
the courts failed to appoint counsel
for him and to investigate his sanity.
Decision to hear the case en- banc
was unusual. The court normally
appoints three-judge panels to re-
view similar cases.
