WASHINGTON with a map-and the Japanese have good maps-can figure out future U. 5. offensive strategy against the would-be rulers of the Pacific.
 l. To strike at the heart of Japan
 with bombing planes via AL
 aska and Siberia.
 2. To use China to cut Japan'S
 long supply line extending down
 below the equator to Java.
 Regarding the latter strategy, the Japanese, if not careful, will get themselves in the same difficult and extended position of ourselves and the British-sending supplies thousands of miles to battle fronts half way round the world.
 That is why U. s. munitions are being rushed to China by air, in- stead of by the old Burma Road, so that China may be used as a base against the extended Japanese supply line. This, however, will take time. For supplies by trans port planes can only go in drib- lets.
 Regarding the first strategy - bombing attacks via Siberia - the Russians have made their position quite clear to us, and both Roose- welt and Churchill agree with them. They point out:
 l. VladivcStok is surrounded on
 two sides by Japanese, could
 be cut off rather quickly, II
 used as a bombing base.
 9 The Russians have sent some
 of their best troops and planes
 from Siberia to Moscow.
 B. Russia will join us in any real
 bomber attack against Japan
 but it has to be sustained
 and continued attack lasting
 for months.
 In other words, if we are merely going to send a few bombers over Japan, then say to Moscow: Gen

Juneauite Shot Through Head While CIedn-

Percy Lucha, well-known Juneau resident, was killed instantly yes terday morning when .33 calibre rifle he was cleaning went off and shot him through the head. He was cleaning the gun, .prepara- tory to going target shooting with friends. Investigating officers said the shooting was purely accident al"
 Lucha was B years old, was man. ager of the Juneau office of the United States Employment Service. He first came to Juneau in 1930, and was a graduate of the Univer- sity of Alaska, Class of 1888.
 The body was found in the room he occupied in the Rod Darnell home, by Mrs. Darnell who notified the police. The barrel of the rifle evidently was so close to Lucha's head when it went off that ths K plosion was muffled. Mrs. Darneil said that she heard a noise but 
 thought he was moving something in the room. She saw the body a few hours later when she happened to glance in the open door of the room.
 officers who investigated the ac- cident are Chief of Police Ken Junge and Police Officer Cleo Commons, and U. S. Deputy Mar shal Sid Thompson.
 No Inquest
 U S Commissioner Felix Gray said that no inquest would be held. Lucha had returned only recently from trip to the States where he had gone for medical treatment and had been told that his ailment was minor and that he was well on the road to complete recovery. Only Saturday he was told that he would get a promotion in his work.
 When the tragic accident oc- cured, Lucha was getting ready to keep a late breakfast appointment with friends, after which he had planned to hike to the Basin for shooting practice.
