Senators Told
Of Alaska Peril
By Gen. Dewitt
Group on Way TO Probe
Aleutian Occupation Talk
With Areas Commander
Special to THE DETROIT TIMES

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. s.
Three of the four United States
senators of the Senate military af-
fairs subcommittee going TO Alaska
to find out why the Japs are able
TO cling TO the fog-covered toe
holds they achieved several months
ago have conferred with 1t. Gen.
j. L. Dewitt, head of the western
defense command, which includes
Alaska and the Aleutians.
Senator A. B. Chandler ID OF
Kentucky and chairman of the
subcommittee. said he and Sena-
tors Harold II. Burton (R) Of Ohio
and Mon c. Wallgren CD OF
Washington. had talked with Gen.
eral Dewitt for four hours about
the situation in Alaska"
MILITARY SECRETS
General Dewitt" said Chan
dler. talked frankly and freely
with us. Naturally I can't d.
vulge what was said, for much
OF 10 was military information
that the enemy would like To
have. was very much I'M
pressed with General Dewitt. In
my humble opinion, the man has
a remarkable knowledge OF this 4
whole situation and I have every y
confidence In his ability to cope
with IL.
Our talk was entirely satisfar-
tory. General Dewitt put no re-
strictions on where we may 90
and I didn't expect him TO. He's
not that kind of man. He told
us we might find some things
up there we don't like. He wants
to know about them.
Were going up there 10 find
out what goes on and to offer
constructive criticism to help
remedy any bad situations We
find. Then we're coming back to
push and see that they are rem
edied. We've got 10 kick those
Japs out OF there"
Chandler also said he and his
subcommittee would investigate
military defense and civilian de-
tense preparations all along the
West Coast before returning 10
Washington.
The Kentucky senator said he
was particularly interested in see
ing that the West Coast gets ade-
quate civilian defense equipment.
II missed Governor Olson but
I talked TO several members Of
the state council OF civilian de-
tense and I've promised to help
them In their attempts TO get
OCD equipment and priorities
for other equipment from the
War Production Board"
Senator Wallgren left for his
home in Washington Immediately
after the meeting with Dewitt
and Senator Burton went on 10
Seattle.
Senator Rufus c. Holman. Ore
gon. and George w. Malone OF
Reno, New. consulting engineer
and now special consultant for the
subcommittee, will be members OF
the group when they take off for

NAyY's RECOMMENDATION

The torney generals an
nouncement said that the inveS-
litigation was being made as result
of the preliminary inquiry and
upon the recommendation of the
navy department.
Robert Horton. chief of the
news bureau of the Office of War
Information, said the investigation
involved THE Chicago Tribune
and other newspapers. He de-
|clined further comment.
The Washington Times-Hefald,
in reporting the justice depart
ment announcement, said that the
story in question had been circu-
lated by the Chicago Tribune and
reprinted in the Times-Herald and
New York Daily News on July Z.
According to the Times-Herald,
the Tribune story described IN
detail the strength of the Jana
nese fleet as it approached Mid
way only TO be repulsed by a
combined air and sea attack of
United States Navy and Marine
forces"
A navy department spokesman
said the investigation had been
asked by that department, but
that now the matter is out OF
our hands," and there was no fur

~ ~ahNAhff ehAHf ~ -
Loy Maloney, managing editor ol
the Chicago Tribune, today char
as Outrageous and
the calling of federal
grand jury to investigate the
story June 7 on the
Battle, written by wal
correspondent Stanley Johnston.
"In spite of repeated injus-
tices visited upon the Chicago
Tribune by Frank Knox, secre-
tary of the navy, in his efforts
10 favor his Chicago newspaper
(the Chicago Daily News), the
Tribune has meticulously re-
Trained, both in It's news columns
and editorials, from printing
anything that either reflected
upon the navy or might aid the
enemies Of the navy" Maloney
said
RIDICULOUS CHARGE
"The thought that Stanley
Johnston would offer informa-
ton To the Tribune for publica-
ton which would be of use To
the nations enemies II as out
rageous and ridiculous as the
charge that the Tribune would
or did print such information.
Johnston joined the Austral-
ian army at the age of 14X In
World War I. He was through
the Battle of Britain as an OBJ
server for the Tribune. Johnston
would sooner cut off his right
arm than give information to the
enemy.
"When the Tribune hired
Johnston ID had every reason TO
believe he was a man Of fine
character, large experience, ex-
ceedingly well-informed on the
weapons Of modern warfare.
especially ships and airplanes,
and that he was loyal to the
cause of the United Nations, and
ID still so believes"
ESTIMATE OF ENEMY
Maloney accounted for Johns
tons comprehensive estimate o
the number. type and names o
the Japanese naval vessels en-
gagged in the Midway Battle from
the circumstance of his lonl
study of information Of this sor
and the facts he CLEANED from
James Fighting Ships, STANDARD
work of reference on the world
navieS.
During his stay in London"
Maloney said, Ibis office was
adjacent to the office of editor
McMurtie's of James Fighting
Ships. Johnston knew Mr.. Nc
Murtie well and frequently dis
cussed with him In detail the
naval strength of the worlds
navies.
ut was Johnston's general
knowledge Of the Japanese navy,
together with his discussions
with naval men and officers of
Jap naval losses, which enabled
him to give an intelligent opin-
ion of the probable names and
organization of the Jap war
ships which later latter the
Coral Sea battle) attacked
Dutch Harbor and Midway
Island.
SAW CORAL SEA FIGHT
THE story was printed along
with Admiral Nimitz' announce
ment OF the great American VIC
tory I'm this sea fight"
Johnston had returned to the
United States June 2 after wit
lessing the Coral Sea battle from
he deck of the aircraft carrier

series Of stories on the Coral Sea

STRONGEST IN FRANCE

The Germans are most strongly
fortified IN France. They have
erected deep coastal defenses and
even restored some of the last
wars points Of defense. Beyond
that is their own West Wall.
But they cannot he sure tho

There is a possibility that the
Allies will move through Holland

CALLED TO RUSSIA

There can be no doubt that the
Germans have drawn on their
forces in France and other occu-
MED countries for service IN the
east. The Russians say they have
fewer than 375 900 men IN France
and this estimate was repeated the
other day by the British Broad
casting Company
German nervousness IS marked

me occupied countries, whose PEG

lenses In the occupied countries,
particularly France and Norway.
Forced labor apparently is being
used.
NOT ON BIG SCALE
Continued German daylight air
raids over widely separated points
in England and Scotland are not
on a scale to suggest that the Ger
mans are trying to return blow
for blow in the air offensive which
Britain is waging against the
Reich. Nor do the raids seem TO
be directed particularly at mill
tary detectives.
More probably they are for
reconnaissance, TO spot any par
ucularly heavy concentrations of
land forces and equipment, or ship
ping. II will be extremely diff
cult for the Allies TO make any
such concentrations without the
Germans getting a warning.
However. the Allies have the
advantage of being able 10 choose
their spot for attack The Ger
mans cannot tell whether the blow
will come in Norway, the Neither
lands. or in any part Of France,
