When the white South
found itself confronted with
the federal status of equality
for ColOred people, the former

denial of presence and of SER

A Moscow dispatch last December

Stakhanov, a young Donbas miner,

Grim Intensity Marks
Army Maneuyers in

WITH U. S. ARMY ON DESERT
TRAINING MANEUvERs, Sept. /.
American fighting men, deployed
over vast expanses of sun-baked
California desert, spared for new
openings today with which to drive
home telling blows in a training
battle whose simulated character is
belied by its grim intensity.
Whether the Red or Blue army
is ahead after the opening days
warfare is something only the
umpires know.
On the one hand the Blue forces,
striking from the air with seasoned
parachute troopers. knocked out an
enemy base at Needles for seven
hours, but the chutists figuratively
paid for their coup with their lives.
On the other, the Red troops
made important advances on two
salients. In the center sector they
drove forward almost 40 miles in an
advance evidently aimed at rail
center at Freda. En- route they An
ished of two tank destroyer units.
The Reds made another 20-mile adj
vance in the eastern combat zone,
the objective OF which was not
known
Although they paralyzed the Red
airfield, the Blue paratroopers
missed connections with their bomb
er escort, and the umpires ticketed
the 120 attackers as annihilated.
1t was a great sight as the trans
port planes came over the field, and
the paratroopers went oversize, 60
on each side OF the runway. Their
chutes snapped open, and in = few
seconds the men were on the
ground, armed with demolition
bombs, mortars, anti-tank grenades,
machine guns, tommy guns and
hand grenades. It was this mass Of
fire power that enabled them, theo-
retically. to overwhelm the Defend
ing garrison, although the chutists
were outnumbered some 8 to /.
The Blue army, commanded by
Maj. Gen. Robert C. Richardson, is
predominantly an armored force,
while the backbone Of Maj. Gen.
Homer c. Browns Red army Is mo-
torized infantry.

chance that this may have heen a
type of exceptionally heavy, potent
destroyer that the Japs are known
to possess-had disappeared along
with everything else. The command
of our destroyer division reports that
his ships fired for three or four
minutes on the warship thought to
be the light cruiser. as she got under
way and headed toward open water
and our formation as we let fly. A
few minutes later, observers aboard
one Of our heavies saw the same
Jap warshlp turn over on her side
in South Pass. the seldom used
harbor entrance between Kiska and
little Kiska Islands.
The extent of our damage to land
installations is less definite. For one
thing. weather has not yet permitted
the taking of satisfactory air recon-
naissance photos. Those which have
been obtained show great damage
to the main Jap defense installa-
tions-big gun and AA emplace-
ments-on North Head For the first
time in weeks, planes flying back to
klska for reconnaissance experienced
no AA fire from that direction.
Many Shells Find Mark.
Less certainty exists concerning
the installation of the main camp
area on the west and northwest
shore of Kiska Harbor. Hundreds
of shells were pumped into this
region by our cruisers. The de-
'stroyers had an excellent line of
vision to this sector through South
Pass as we opened fire from the
lights and they report that many
OF our shells found a mark. This
would mean sure death for thou
sands of Japs living there in tents
and barracks and would probably
have wrecked their big seaplane
ramp and serving facilities on the
beach. This may be one reason
why so few of their planes 60
into the air.
On two other sections of the
island development had been in
progress, which seems, in photo
graphs, to represent efforts to hack
land plane runways out of Kiskas
stubborn soil. Both were within
the target areas assigned to various
of our ships, and these areas were
likewise heavily hit.
Notwithstanding the great amount
of damage we inflicted on their
Evening star., 1942-09-01

shipping, it is possible that our
most important accomplishment was
this barrage we put down on the
runways. If at all near the mark,
it would be enough to nullify weeks
of Jap labor. Once the Japs are
allowed to complete even a small
runway on Kiska-and 1900 feet
would easily accommodate their nim-
BILE little Zeros-the job of retaking
the island and the prospect of re-
peatlng raids such as we pulled on
the 9th will be rendered infinitely
more hazardous.
Total Casualties Two Men.
Our total casualties in the action
now stand tentatively revised up
ward to two men-the pilot and ra-
dioman Of little cruiser observa-
ton plane. The pair took on into
the fog just before the battle with
the other cruiser planes to perform
spottlng missions for our gun di-
rectors. All the other planes re-
turned safely to the ships or. the
United States shore bases eastward
along the chain. No ore knows
what happened to the missing plane.
Conceivably it may turn up yet.
Aside from the brief fire directed
at our cruisers by the Jap shore
battery on South Head-quickly ST.
lenced by our own port battery
the closest they came to hitting any
OF us was an enormous bomb, un-
doubtedly 1000 FOUNDER, dropped
of the port quarter of one Of our
cruisers. by Jap our-engir1ed f1y-
ing boat. Two lighter bombs were
dropped 400 yards short of a de-
stroyer, and another destroyer was
strafed by Zero float fighter, with
out damage or casualties. Some of
the gunners were quite sure they
shot down this Jap plane and the
one that dropped the lighter bombs,
but this Is not confirmed.
Some 400 tons of shells were
pitched onto the island during l8
minutes Of firing. No wonder the

from the Tenleytown section of the

and Maryland wardens along Wis

minutes whether they should halt
traffic.
In Brookmont, Md. the warden

two violations, which they said they
handled satisfactorily. Most job
holders in Brookmont waited until

was stopped but when the all clear
sounded, some reported the side

sembled race tracks with speeding
cars driving toward Washington.
A traffic tie-up occurred at
Memorial Bridge when the all clear
sounded. Outgoing traffic to the
Pentagon Building was met by other
automobiles from the Mount Vernon
Memorial highway at the traffic
circle at the Virginia end of the
bridge 1t was noted, however, that
a grade separation carrying Lee

averted a conflict that has hereto
fore existed by the crossing of these
two lanes.
e. Traffic likewise was backed up on
Arlington Ridge road from the Lee
boulevard traffic light back to
Tenth street and on Lee boulevard
from the traffic light back to Fort

Abnormally heavy traffic was
noted after the all clear on Reservoir
and Canal roads and at M street and
Key Bridge, apparently caused by
Virginians who waited until after
the test before starting to work.

KODIAK, Alaska, Aug. IS tDe-
layed) Reports on the battle
of Kiska are nearly all in and it
becomes possible to Judge the
real results of that spectacular
action with something approach
ing accuracy.
Almost certainly, we sank at least
half of the 10 or II ships seen in
Kiska Harbor just before we opened
fire All were in areas of the
harbor assigned AS targets for our
cruisers.
(Thus far, Navy communiques
in Washington have claimed only
four Jap ships sunk or damaged,
one destroyer damaged, one cargo
ship sunk, and two cargo ships
damaged)
Victims included a heavy trans
port, light cruiser and four or five
good sized supply ships On August
9. the day after our attack, Ply fly
ing boats returned and obtained
direct hits with 500 Founders on a
cargo carrier, plus near-misses that
landed between another cargo ship
and a destroyer and almost surely
took care of them
In the process, the PHYS observed
that the transport, described as
huge" by our cruiser pilot, who
spotted it on the day of the battle,
was down by the stern few yards
from the beach inside South Head
with decks awash. She was obvi-
ously resting on the bottom.
Four Subs May Have Been Sunk.
Nothing else was visible except
one smaller cargo ship. AS the Navy
understatement presents the case. a
strong assumption is that everything
else was sunk. This may we'll have
included four Jap subs, also spotted
near the large ships inside the
harbor on attack day.
The light cruiser-and authorities
are careful to stress the outside
