WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. = From the tropical Solomons to the chill Aleutians, the United States forces have dealt the Japs a terrific beat ing on land, sea and in the air in the last six days, the Navy De- partment disclosed today in three communiques.
 The Army's huge four-motored bombers showered incendiary and demolition bombs on the Jap base at Kiska in successive raids on Oc- tober 8, 9 and 10.
 New fires were started on Kiska, which has been bombed steadily now for several weeks. No Jap planes took to the air to attempt to intercept our airmen. Anti aircraft fire was light and none of our planes were lost, although sev- eral were damaged.
 At the same time. task force of our cruisers and destroyers way laid Japanese force trying to land endorsements on Guadal- canal Island in the Solomons Sun- day night.
 The results were terrific. We sank a heavy Jap cruiser, four de stroyers and one transport in a sudden attack.
 One unidentified United States destroyer was lost,
 Torpedo planes and dive bomb CTS, chasing the battered and flee ing Japs on the next day, badly damaged at least another enemy cruiser and probably sank another destroyer, the Navy related.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. - Life for the fighting man of World War II is no downy couch. He has to be rough, tough and smart jack of more trades than one. But he can go off to the wars knowing that never in history has Congress taken so many precautions to see that service men (and women)
 get so much in pay, legal protec- tion, benefits for dependents and assurance of economic security when they come marching home.
 Probably everybody knows that the service mems base pay now starts at $50 a month; that with the exception of a few grades in the Australian army, the US. sol- dier is thesbest paid in the world, receiving more than four times as much as British soldier; 12 times

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

WASHINGTON - The President called Scott Lucas of Illinois to the White House the other day to thank him for his two-fisted support of the administration's anti-inflation bill.
 He also told the able young Illi- nolan about some of his experiences on his cross country inspection tour, one of which was apropos of the imitation fight in Congress. It dealt with the problem of manpower-es- pecially the farm bloc's argument that there would be a disastrous shortage of farm labor and resultant crop shortages unless farm parity prices were raised.
 "The manpower problem isn't as serious as a lot of people are trying to make us believe, Scott" the Pres ident remarked. I'm convinced we'll be able to lick it in the American way-if we all put our shoulders to the wheel"
 To illustrate, the President cited a story he had heard while on the West Coast. The California fruit crop was seriously threatened tnis year due to labor shortage after the evacuation of Jap fruit workers.
 "No crop was harder hit than prunes,' the President said. Tt look ed for a while as if no prunes would be picked, and they would be left to rot. But just in the nick of time' the people of three or four towns in the area got together and resolved to do something about it.
 Almost everybody in those towns, young and old, city officials and business people rich and poor alike, grabbed buckets and headed for the orchards AS result, the prune crop was saved. That's the spirit of CO., operation America was built on, and the kind that will win this war"

Soviets Continue to Roll Germans Back in Volgd
 River City Battle

MOSCOW, Oct. l4-The blunted German salient reaching in toward the Volga has been hemmed in tighter by new Russian gains north west and south of Stalingrad, battle front dispatches report today.
 Even in the debris-strewn streets of the city, Red Army counter at tacks rolled the Nazis back.
 Thus in the fifty-first day of Stall ingrad's siege, Hitler's mightiest 1942 onslaught appeared to have lost it's momentum.
 It is barely another month until the present biting chill of autumn on the steppes gives way to second winter of the war in Russia. Aside from sharp street fighting in which Stalingrad's defenders re- claimed positions, the fight for win ter shelter" in the ruins of the city is reverting to artillery dueling.

REPUBLICANS RUN WAR

Two close advisers were complain ing to the President about the num- Der of Republican dollar-a-year men, in the War Production Board.
 These fellows, by and large, were the backbone of the Republican op- position to you in 1892. 1886, and ls4O, and they haven't changed their spots," the President was told. They devote more time to hating you and your economic principles than they devote to winning the wal"
 There may be something to what you say" replied the President. But what can I do? We can't conIlne jobs in the war agencies to Demo- crats."
 With a grin, the President added that he was reminded of William Knudsen, when the latter was head of the old OPM.
 One day Knudsen submitted Tor White House approval a list of "A appointments to key jobs in the

HEADQUARTERS, Alaskan Army Air Force, Oct. 14.-American and Canadian airmen apparently have run the Japanese fighter planes out of the Aleutian skies.
