Before Surprised Foe

By the Associated Press.
AN ALASKAN ARMY BASE, Sept
7 Delayed. American fighter
planes have strafed Japanese ship
ping and men on Kiska for the first
time since the island was occupied,
The spectacular raid by two fight
ers followed bomber trip made by
Brig. Gen. William O. Butler, COM
mander of the Alaskan Air Force,
who led low-leyel attack three days
previously.
Gen. Buffers three craft straddled
several cargo vessels in the harbor
with near misses, and escaped into
the clouds before the Jap gunners
recovered from the surprise of seeing
planes at almost eye-level.
Raiders Strafe Troops.
The raiders also strafed a column
of troops ashore and hit installa-
tions.
The fighters, which took part in
the subsequent raid, have such small
cockpits that the smaller men OF the
air force are chosen to fly them.
Their report stated they arrived
over Kiska under low cloud ceiling,
machine gunned four-motored fly
ing boat on the water, set afire and
demolished a fighter drawn up on
the beach, and moved down like
straws" what appeared to be line
of soldiers outside mess hall.
They also put out of action an
enemy machine-gun crew which be-
gan firing at them.
Yacht Is Blasted.
The fighters made second dive
on the harbor and raked converted
yacht which they thought might be
a floating command post. They OBJ
served number of seamen fall
under the concentrated machine-gun
fire.
AS the planes swept over on q third
dive, most of the enemy manpower
seemed to be under cover. The fight

ST. LOUIS.-Girls. are you seek
ing the road to success?
Then try to get on as a messenger
girl-they're grabbing better Jobs so
fast it's giving their employers a
nightmare.
Victor Blume, city superintendent
for the Postal Telegraph Co, and
I. I. Simon. in charge of messenger
service for Western Union, view the
quick turnover with pride and an
noyance.
They're quick to say they like to
see a poor working girl get ahead
But they add wistfully, it would
be even nicer to be able to keep
a nice girl for a few weeks.
IT'S compliment to our judg-
ment in selecting girls for messenger
jobs" said Mr.. Blume.
Customers Like the Idea.
But" said Mr.. Simon. Just about
the time we get a girl nicely broken
in she tells us she's going to work
for that new firm where she deliv-
cred telegram last wek."
Only 2 of 20 girls who started out
as Western Union messengers last
March still are with the company,
one Of them no longer as mes
senger. Postal has IL girls on the
job, but they aren't the same IL
who went to work last January.
Despite the quick turnover Mr..
Blume and Mr.. Simon still believe
the girl messenger idea is a good
one.

Better Jobs Turn Up Quickly
For Girl Telegraph Messengers

Any girl who gets job must be
better than average in appearance,

Not Too Fat, Thin.
Neither company takes girls under

to % years. Western Union draws
the age limit at 21.
Both comp panies like them
ummmm-you know-not 100 fat
and not too thin. The ideal ap-
plicant is 5 feet inches high, be-
tween 10 and is pounds. Ap-
plicants must be pretty, but no
glamour stuff-no vamps.
I'VE really prefer girls who can
advance to a better position" Mr..
Simon declared.
Before the war is over both COM
panies expect to have more girl
messengers than boys.
Even after the war, I believe we
will go on hiring the girls Mr..
Simon said.
They're good for business" Mr..
Blume added.

1942 ALASKA SALMON PACK, $45 MILLION
War Conditions Cut Million and Quarter Cases
 Off TotaI

Alaska's 1942 salmon pack totals an approximate 5,000,000 cases val ued at an estimated $45,000,0 ,0OO, Clarence L. Olson, Fishery Manage ment Supervisor of the Fish and Wildlife Service, announced today.
 This compares with last years total pack of approximately 6,7O0, ,000 cases worth $57,000,O00, but Olson states that due to war conditions the 1942 pack has been cut by at least million cases, because the Bristol Bay district would have packed million and quarter cases instead of 450,OO0.
 Southeast Alaska accounted for approximately 2,5OO,OO0 cases, about half of the pack. It is expected that this number will be exceeded. Olson said that the percent over age may bring the 1922 total pack above the 5,0O00O0 mark.
 The Kodiak district has an ap- proximate 485,000 cases this year, the Cook Inlet district, 280,000. The pack in Prince William Sound and Copper River, district already has exceeded the half-million mark.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Senator Albert Chandler of Kentucky ex- presses hope that the High Com mand will be awakened to the ne- cessity of holding Alaska at all costs' He said this upon his return to the nations capital from an in- spection trip to Alaska.

 Senator Chandler, and Senators Mon C. Wallgren of Washington and Rufus c. Holman of New Mexico will also report on their findings to an executive session of the full Sem ate Military Affairs Committee on Monday.
 "The continued presence of the Japs on Kiska,' said Chandler, con stitutes a menace and threat to the safety of the people of the Unit ed States. and they must be re- moved at the earliest possible mo- ment."
 Chandler added that the commit tee had recommended immediate improvement of Alaskan military establishments, including airplane ferry routes to Asia.

LONDON, Sept. B. British and Russian airmen administered a punishing whipsaw assault upon Germany from the west and east last night, the Royal Air Force kindling big fires in Bremen and the Russians scattering bombs over eastern Germany and occupied Po- land.
 Meanwhile, unidentified Allied raids on Eastern Germany, failed to name the cities attacked, but the British radio quoted Scandi- navian dispatches from Berlin as saying that the targets included Vienna in Austria, Koenigsburg, city in East Prussia, and Breslau in German Silesa.
 At the same time, it wss reported that four persons were killed and 10 injured by bombs jettisoned from German raiders being chased over an East Anglican town by RAF fighters. Three houses were demolished.

Marshal T1m0SnenkOS Armies, rallying in the hour of their deep- est crisis, have stopped the Ger mans on the bloody plains before Stalingrad and have even stormed into Nazi lines northwest of the Volga steel city to capture booty and prisoners.
 Further good news for the United Nations came today from tlse Egyptian battlefront. where the British reported new Axis retreat on the southern end of the 35-mile line, Today's dispatches declare that British troops have beaten off three heavy counter- attacks against newly won posi- tions on the center.

 British troops then charged the wavering Germans and Italians and drove them off.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON = Standing out against some of the discouraging developments of the war is one very encouraging factor-the im- proved cooperation between the navies of Great Britain and the United States.
 Naval and military cooperation always is difficult between Allies. Different customs, different train- ing. sometimes different languages makes teamwork almost impossible at the start of any war. And 1t takes real statesmanship-m military naval and political-to improve it.
 To illustrate, cooperation between the United States, Britain and the Dutch touched bottom during the battles around the Dutch East h. dies. Since then tremendous inn provements have been made; but at that time the United Nations hurriedly had thrown together what ships Admiral Tommy Hart had in the Philippines; together with what the British had left after losing the Prince of Wales and the Repulse off Singapore; and finally the very small fleet the Dutch could muster around Java and Sumatra.
 Admiral Hart, then past retire. ment age, but with good fighting record, was placed in command of the United Fleet, and in the Battle of Macassar Straits managed to sink a large number of Jap trans ports.
 After this action, Hart's scouts saw approaching much larger Japanese fleet. including what ap- peared to be 8-inch gun cruisers, guarding great convoy.
 Hart's own fleet was inferior. So he faced one of the vital decisions of war: whether to save his fleet
