The Republican leader said he
wanted to discuss several concrete
problems here, and that he would
pay serious attention to the recent
price rises in China. He plans to
talk to both Chinese and American
financial and economic experts.
Everybody is helping me to learn
the truth about China" he said,
and he added that he had met no
obstacles even though he had ap-
preached several delicate problems.
Willkie said it had been arranged
for him to visit the fronts in China,
as he had done in Egypt and Rus
sia en- his way here.
He lunched today with Brig. Gen.
Claire L. Chennault, commanding
the American army air force in
China, and planned to talk at
length later with Chennault and
Lieut.. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, COM

day

Willkie said Chang talked with
amazing frankness and showed a
wide grasp of world affairs.
He said he was impressed also
by the simple way in which Chang
lived
"Only a truly great man could
present such an humble outward
appearance and yet remain great"
he said.
Chinese officials, commenting
that Willkie already had seen
Chang three times in two days,

LOBBYISTS
FOR THE PEOPLE
"a Newspaper Week EditoriaD

Labor union lobbies farm lobbies, man
ufacturers lobbies, retailers lobbies -
every sort of lobby you can imagine
exist in Washington for the sole purpose
of putting pressure on congress and the
executive branch for more or less selfish
purposes.
Like everybody else, congressman and
governmental executives are vulnerable
to the right sort of pressure, applied in
the right way. The miracle is that they
have not Succumbed far more than they
have.
There is one reason, and one only.
They are too we'll aware of public opin
ion-so we'll aware of it that every action
they are tempted to take is Judged in the
light of the effect it will have on the Vot-
ers, the people back home.
Yet public opinion has no lobby, as
such, in Washington. Ask the average
congressman, and he would tell you there
is no lobbyist in Washington looking out
for the peoples interests alone.
He would be wrong.
Every newspaper reporter in Washing
ton is lobbyist for the public. Every
newspaper in the nation lobbies daily SO
llldl Jll6 pCOplC llioiN nave
resentation in the course of the national
life
This lobbying is not thing of pres
sure as SUCH 1t makes no specific de-
mands, seeks no special concessions. 1t
is not an actively aggressive lobby, but
one that is more often than not quite pas
sive. Yet, for all that, it is the most po-
tent lobby of them all
There are individuals in national life
who, if they could act and have their ac
tions remain secret, would depart very
far from the goal of serving the people.
They are ield in check because they know,
without any doubt, that the press of the
nation will tell the people of their actions.

drive is under Way
A communique issued on Sept 10
reported that on Sept. four-
engined Consolidated bomber, es-
corted bytwo army fighters, strafed
shipping. aircraft and shore install
lations at Kiska. That was Che
first time fighters were used in an
attack on the enemy in the Aleu-
tianS.
JAP SHIPS SUNK
The next attack was made Sept.
IA, when a large group OF bombers.
accompanied by the cannon-firlng
Airacobra fighters and Lockheed
lightning pursuits, bombed ana
strafed Kiska with telling effect.
In that attack they sank two
minesweepers, damaged three cargo
ships and three submarines, shot
down four Zero fighters and anoth-
er small plane and destroyed large
patrol plane in the water. In ad-
dition, 500 troops were killed or
wounded by our ground-strafers.
But those two attacks, coming
10 days apart, did not in them
selves indicate that they were part
of a new campaign. Evidently, the
time was being used to develop the
bases in the Andreanof islands SO
that sustained operations could be
carried on.
CONTINUE
Then, on Sept. "a, army heavy
bombers attacked Kiska in bao
weather and the sesults could not
be observed. The following day,
a strong force of army bombers
and fighters, accompanied for the
first time by Canadian airmen, at
tackled Kiska again. Two subma-
rines were strafed, seven planes
destroyed, a transport set afire and
$50 Jap troops killed or wounded.
On Sept. 81, two attacks were
carried out. The next day there
were three, with still another tse
following day. Then on Sept. 80,
came the 18th attack for the month
and the ninth in a week.

the Japanese can continue for long
to pay the fearful rent" being ex-
acted for their occupancy OF the

Nazis Can't Find
Any Soft Spot in
Flying Fortress

U. S. BOMBER COMMAND
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Oct.
5-(UP)-For six weeks now Ger
many's crack fighter pilots have
been attacking Boeing flying fort
resses and they haven't been able to
find soft spot from front to
tail.
The flying fortresses are the
planes from which hilarious
group of American boys have shot
down approximately 40 German
pilots while going and coming from
daylight raids over France.
The planes bear such names as
"Stinky, Jr.," and WAR Eagle" The
Luftwaffe has raked them from
every angle, utilizing every meth
cd known to fighter pilots but al
ways with the same lack of success
ONLY TWO LOST
Only two of the fortresses have
been lost, although many have re-
turned from fights against over
Whelming odds with their fuse
lagos and wings shot full of holes
and sometimes with dead filters
aboard
On one occasion 80 fortresses
were forced to fight their way to
the target through $50 Focke Wulff
1905 and Messerschmitt 109 fight
ers but dumped their bomb loads
in the target area and returned
home.
Capt. Robert Coulter, of La
Grange, ILL.,, leader of one fort
ress squadron. said: "Those Ger
mans play rough game but we are
giving them hell. They are a cagey
lot of fighters but they do not like
the concentration of heavy machine
gun fire from the flying fortresses
If they try to come in close to our
formations we knock them eff like
ducks. Sometimes 1 almost feel
sorry for them"
In general, the crews of the fly
ing fortresses are happy -go-lucky
lot. They are interested in their
jobs and contented with their roles
in the war.

ISLAND BASE RAIDED
In the only offensive activity out
side the New Guinea zone, Consoli-
dated medium bombers raided the
enemy airdrome on Buka Island,
northernmost of the SolomonS, by
night and without meeting aerial
opposition, starting fires and cauS-
ing explosions on the runway and
in dispersal areas. At least one enc
my grounded plane was destroyed.
In addition to capturing much
Japanese equipment the Austral-
ians were now starting to retaKe
equipment which their own troops
had been compelled to abandon last
month when the Japanese advanced
to Ioribaiwa village, 80 air miles
from PolI Moresby.
The few Japanese whom they had
met had been disposed of and doubt
increased here I'hether the enemy
would elect to MAKE a stand on the
Port Moresby side of the mountains.
FEW JAPS SEEN
Allied aviatorS were puzzled by
the absence not only OF japanese
plane activity but at the lack OF
life on the trail leading back to
Buna, the enemy invasion base on
the north coast.
There was some belief that per-
sistent Allied plane attacks had
sent the native porters whom the
Japanese had pressed into service
fleeing their jungle homes, to the
further embarrassment of the enemy
supply problem.
The few Japanese whom the Allies
saw showed they we're good fighting
men. Maj. Don Hall of Corpus
Christi, Texas, reported sighting a
single japanese soldier who stood
in the open blazing at his plane
with a pistol.
THAT bird certainly had CUTS y

but I had to give him a burst of

man situation as regards reserves.
On all other sectors in Stalingrad,
the defenders held firmly, although
dispatches said more than 1000
planes and several dozen tank and
motorized divisions had intensified
their pressure in the entire battle
zone.
Generally, dispatches indicated,
| the situation was not changed.
Marshal Semyon Timoshenko was
driving steadily, but slowly. thru
the left German flank, northwest
of Stalingrad, in an effort to drive
to the city limits and trap those
Germans fighting inside the city.
