ARMY B0NER, ALASKA WAR
 I5 REPORTED
Jap Fleet Escaped Destrue- lion in Dutch Hdr-
 Dor Attack

SEATTLE, Aug. 22.-Representa- tive Warren G. Magnuson of the State of Washington, who recently made a flying trip to the Alaska war zone on an inspection of de- lenses, told a Seattle newspaper upon return that the Japanese sur face forces, including a carrier, which smashed at Dutch Harbor early in June, escaped possible annihilation because of a "tenl- porary and unfortunate failure of Army and Navy coordination at the time"
 Said Magnuson: Failure on the part of one Army command to interpret literally standing naval orders regarding enemy contact re- suited in a delay which gave the enemy an opportunity to remove itself.
 "The Army command was located within operating distance of the Japanese task force. I have infor- nation that it was notified soon after the Dutch Harbor attack that Navy PHYS had a Japanese car rier under continual observation, and that they were waiting for the arrival of Army land-based air. craft to make the kill"
 The Army command, however, believed it's orders were not suf- ficiently broad enough to warrant sending out bombing force at this phase of the battle without def mite instructions.
 "As a result" MagnuSon con- tinued, "the Army planes remained on the ground, and before naval authorities could atraighten the matter out, the Japs had slipped away from observation.
 Later the Army did succeed in making contact, but not under as favorable circumstances as they might have found if the response had been earlier"
 Magnuson said that he under stood this particular Army com- mand has been relieved"

 ON NEW YORK
 NOMINATION
President. Who Backed Loser, Says No Worth-
 while Comment

WASHINGTON. Aug. g. Sen ators were split today over their comments on the significance of the nomination in New York of John Bennett, Jr., for Governor over Senator James Mead, who was supported by the President.
 Most of the legislators begged to be excused from commenting on the victory scored by Bennett who was backed by Jim Farley, but among those who were willing to talk on or off the record some believed that the state convention will result in increasing Farleys political stature in the 1944 presi- dential picture while others said they thought it would boomerang against Farley later
 When asked in today's confer ence with newsmen what effect Bennett's nomination would have in the conduct of the war effort, the President repeated the remarks he made to Robert Patterson, Un- dersecretary of War who sought the Presidents comment on the Com- mando raid on France:
 There is no worthwhile con- ment.'

RAID PROVES POSSIBLE TO
 OPEN FRONT
Foreign Military Experts Say FuII-SeaIe Invas-
 ion Can Be Made

BERN, Switzerland, Aug. g. = Foreign military specialists ex- pressed the belief today that the Allied landing and raid on the Dieppe coast proved that a second front could be opened in France.
 Essential to it's success, these sources said, would be sufficient superiority of land based planes, adequate transport facilities and a strong element of surprise.
 Published neutral descriptions of the recently completed German system of channel Qualifications in- dicated a full-scale Allied invasion effort would cost heavily, but would have a chance of advancing to the Mouse and Rhine provided the defenders could be outweighed in men and materials.

 OF CHIEFS
Asks that Administrators Take Problems to Him
 Instead of Public

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. - De- claring that the heads of some Government agencies are talking too much, President Roosevelt to- day directed that all Government Administrators refrain from public debate on controversial questions.
 The policy asks them to stop criticizing each other in such con- troversies.
 Roosevelt said that such airing of divergent opinions in the public press is being seized upon and ex- plotted by the enemies of the Unia- ed Nations.
 In letters to the heads of each department agency, the President said "Disagreements either as to fact or policy should not be pulp licly aired, but be submitted to me by the appropriate heads of con- flicting agencies. The policy of the Government should be announced by me as the responsible head thereof

ST. PARIS, Ohio, Aug. 22.-Old- timers in this Campaign County village believe that if there was a chance for MT. and Mrs. Foster Jones to evacuate Attu before the invasion by the Japs, "Chalkey" Jones made the most of it.

SEATTLE, Aug. 22.-Don Pickard and his wife, Ginger, former boat operators between Dutch Harbor and Attu, who arrived in Seattle recently, are wondering what has happened to their friend, c. Foster Jones and his 47-man native army" on Attu, when the Japs invaded the Aleutian outpost.
 Pickard disclosed that Jones, em- ployed by the Alaska Office of In dian Affairs on Attu and operator of it's radio station. was drilling the men among the natives as a little military force when the Richards last visited the island in April.
 Jones had rifle and shotgun in his radio station and told the Richards that he and his army were going to fight it out wiGh the Japs if they landed. The Japs landed.
 He showed me how he could ruin the whole radio so 1t would be useless to the Japs," Pickard said. If they landed, he was go- ing to destroy the stores of avia- tion gasoline and diesel oil"
 Pickard added that The had lot of courage but kind of hope that when he saw it was hopeless he didn't fight. If he did, he's prob ably dead"

The W ashingtOn
 Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active dutyo


 WASHINGTON-Behind the Sol omon Islands battle are some op- timistic naval facts, entirely aside from the announcement of victory. These facts had to be very care fully considered even before U. S. naval chiefs started to invade the SolomonS. One of these naval facts is that the Japs have suffered very se- were losses in cruisers. Although it has escaped public notice, U. s. forces have been pumping off this fast, important type of warship with deadly regularity so that Jap crui- ser strength is now cut at least in half, perhaps more
 Another known naval fact is that the Japs have lost approximately half of their airplane carriers. And with air power what it is today, this is the type of vessel they can least afford to lose.
 On the American side of the picture is the fact that U. s. re- pairs of ships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor have been mir aculously swift.
 All this obviously was taken into consideration before the United States started a major engagement and the offensive in the South Pac- fife. For Admiral King had to calculate the risk of the Jap ad- mirals rushing a large force to the Solomon Islands.
 Simultaneously he also had to figure the risk of Jap attack on various other vital points - Midway, Alaska, Hawaii, even the continental United States.
 Top Admirals, these days, do not take chances. Not when the fate of nation depends on them. Therefore, it requires only a mathe- matician to figure that the scale of American strength in the Pacific has turned. It reached it's low ebb just after Pearl Harbor, when the Navy was unable to do any, thing about the Philippines, Singa- pore, or Java.
 But now the Battle of Midway has shown that Hawaii and the
