WASHINGTON, Sept. rs (UP).
The weather in the Aleutians Is
giving the Japanese there a ter
rife beating" infiicting as much
damage on them as the army
and navy bombardments, naval
sources said today.
Indications were that the ter
rifle storms which strike the
Aleutians during most Of the year
already were being felt by the
japanese now entrenched on Kiska
and Attu islands and that their
position was exceedingly uncom-
Portable"
The weather, coupled with
aerial and naval bombardments Of
the Japanese bases. is expected TO
weaken those positions SO much il
will be difficult for the invaders
to rebuild them.
II was pointed out that when a
bombing plane destroys barracks
or other buildings, the weather
makes IL most difficult TO rebuild
CLOSE TO ARCTIC
Later when billiards sweep In
from the north - the Aleutians
lie close to the Arctic Circle
the japanese positions will be
worsened.
The weather alone will not be
enough TO drive the Japanese out.
II was emphasized. but IL helps
prevent consolidation OF positions
they have gained.
Meanwhile. Rep. Warren Mag

would be extremely costly 10 dis

he said. What they say about
those fogs Is true. I've never
seen anything like II. Many
times our fliers can not see the

things difficult for the Japanese.

pro and con. in regards to the public
dance hall now In question, and. II
has been my original intention to
keep silent on the matter. and to

efficient and only wise policy that

in. and that IS in definite NO.
However. while | was down town |
quite by accident overheard a dis
cussion Of this subject, and the
statement made which set my blood

was that. we have too many
churches in Ypsilanti, but not a
single place OF amusement for our
young people" "Churches are tax
free institution and therefore are of
no benefit 10 a community; whereas
public dance hall would contrib
ute financially to our community
treasury"
or all the rotten. filthy propa-
ganda have ever heard. this Is the
worst and / think It Is about time
that the citizens OF Ypsilanti take
o hand in this matter and insist that
our capable chief Of Police Mr. Dan
Patch. our Mayor, Mr. Ross h.
Bower and our city fathers continue
in the wise policy Of maintaining
/ that NO" TO the dance hall ques-
ton.
