rail BIozed for U S. Forces in AIeutiuns
BY Costner's Cutthroots, Hardy Alaskan Scouts

Of volunteers from the Alaskan back
country, both natives and whites.
Late tn August, after months of
training. the scouts set out across
Bering Sea for their island destina-
ton, with homemade boats dashed to
the decks Of their vessels and rub
Der boats inside, ready for imitation.
Nobody then was sure whether the
Japanese might have a large force
on the island or q small one, ready
to call in the bombers from Kiska,
Their boats couldn't even enter the
uncharted and tricky harbor. High
seas washed over the decks. The
homemade boats had failed to stand
the trip.
So in the dark Of night, the scouts

boats, fighting . wild sea that was

Coast Guard Cutter,

Overdue in Atlantic
Navy Also Reveals
New Air Ruids on
japanese at Kisko

The Coast Guard cutter Mus
keget, formerly the S. S. Cornish
of the Eastern Steamship Lines
is overdue in the Atlantic and
must be presumed lost, the Navy
announced today.
Although the Navy did not dis
close the complement of the ship,

titled.
In the same communique the Navy
said that on October Army Lib
orator bombers, escorted by Aira-
cobra and Lightning fighters,
dropped approximately seven tons of
bombs on the area surrounding the
seaplane hangar used by the Japa-
nese at Kiska, In the Aleutians.
Eight more tons of bombs were
dropped on the camp area and fires
were started.
Ships Attacked in Harbor.
At about the same time two enemy
cargo ships were attacked in the
harbor off Kiska and one was left
on fire and sinking. The same at
tack destroyed a seaplane on the
water and damaged another. The
radio station also was strafed. and
fires were started In the camp area.
This brings to 80 the number of
Jap ships sunk and damaged in and
around the Aleutians since the Jap
anese entered the islands in early
June. The Navy pointed out that
the two cargo ships mentioned in
today's communique were not the
I two that previously had been re-
ported as beached, following an
American raid.
The communique reiterated that
the Japs have abandoned Attu and
Agattu and said reconnaissance has
failed to reveal any enemy activity
on these islands"

Navy May Scrap Oregon
And Other Ancient Ships
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy reported today that its
decision not to scrap the old bat
tleship Oregon, a historical relic,
probably would have to be recon-
sidered.
The announcement cleared the
way for possible reversal of the
Nays objection to the scrapping
of any historical naval relic, a po-
tential change in policy which
might bring about scrapping of old
ships in various ports.
The intention to reconsider the
Oregon decision was announced by
Undersecretary Forrestal in letter
to Gov. Charles A. Sprague of Ore
gon. Mr.. Forrestal previously had
written Gov Sprague that the Navy
was opposed to scrapping the Ore
gon and tossing the scrap into the
current metal drive because cit
regards this vessel as one of the

1t was on the last stage of his

enemy shells came screaming across
the Yellow River in the general di-

landed some distance ahead of the
handcars, but the party left the
railway, walked for a half hour
along a sunken road for the sake
OF safety and then motored the rest
OF the way to its destination.

Nazis ManacIe 1876
Prisoners, Threaten
To Bind 5000 More
Italy Also Enters Bitter
Controversy, Charging
British Slew Coptives
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The Ger
mans, announcing they already
had shackled 1876 British war
prisoners, threatened today to
manacle three times that num-
Der at noon tomorrow if the
British carry out their an
nounced determination to take
countermeasures against Ger
man prisoners in Britain.
The new threat from Germany
and another by Italy. aggravated an
already bitter wrangle over the
treatment of captives and threat
ened to undermine all restraints
against inhumane handling of war
prisoners
The issue between Britain and
Germany is based on the Nazi con-
tention-which the British repeat
edly have denied-that the British
handcuffed Germans captured dur
i, ing the battle of Dieppe August 10
and in a Commando raid on the
Channel island of Sark last Sunday.
1t already has reached the stage
OF reprisal and the threat of
counter-reprisal and counter -coun-
ter-reprisal. .t
The entry of Italy into the ex-
change of accusations came with a
Rome broadcast today that Fascist
forces had found a document during
British attacks on Tobruk which, it
alleged, stated that all Italians in
a certain sector were to be killed"
1t contended that this supposed
order was for the integral suppress
sion" of Italians without discrim-
ination and that "our more than
legitimate reprisals have thus been
rendered inevitable
There was no immediate indica-
tion of what measures the Italians
contemplated or on what authority
the Rome broadcast was based.
The Germans threatened Wednes-
day to fetter British prisoners cap
tured at Dieppe: announced yester-
day that they had carried out the
threat, and said today that the
shackles had been placed on 107
British officers and 1869 non-com-
missioned officers and men.

flee declared that if the manacles
wer not removed an equal number of
Germans in British custody would be
