 IN NALEUTIANS
Explosives ShoWered on Shore Insia|Iation-Sub
 Base Discovered

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. - Two new bombing raids on Jap install lations, including submarine base on Kiska Island, in the Aleutians, are reported by the Navy.
 Reference to a submarine base is the first mention of such an enemy installation in the island chin. However, the Navy on sev- eral previous occasions has men, tioned that enemy submarines are operating in the Aleutians.
 Both of the new bombing raids were made by Army planes but no report of the damage inflicted is given.
 The Navy reports say that dur ing the raid, anti-aircraft shore batteries were active but no aerial resistance was offered.
 The first raid occurred October 3 when Army Liberator Bombers, guarded by Lockheed Lightning fighters, dumped IS tons of bombs on the Japanese camp area at Kiska and, also on the submarine base
 The following day, Flying Fort resses dropped bombs in the vicin- ity of the submarine base.

MOSCOW, Oct. 27-The Ger mans have lost their foothold in the southern industrial section of Stalingrad and have fallen back to the barren steppes outside of the city under pressure of Red counter-attacks.
 At the same time, Nazi assaults are reported to be beating futiley upon the restored defenses of the north side factory area and Rus sian pressure against German Hanks on both the south n d northwest areas around Stalingrad appeared to be growing.
 The invaders are struggling in effectually to make more than slight gains within the city.
 South of the Volga stronghold, the Russians claim destroying 10 machine gun posts and 26 block houses and dugouts, all on the outskirts.
 The newspaper Izvestia said that the Germans have been thrown back behind the low, rolling hills which rim the southern edge of Stalingrad, facing front l50 yards from the city's boundaries where chimneys of battle-scarred Soviet factories continue to smoke

NEW YORK, Oct. 27-Americans were cautioned today by former Ambassador Joseph c. Grew of Japan to guard against foolish op- timism and complacent self-confi- dence" which he said, would pre- pare the way for unnecessary de- spair" in the war with Japan.
 In his address, prepared for an authors luncheon, Grew listed among psychological minefields and ambushes" to be avoided such assumptions as that the Japs are less formidable because they are not free; that the cities of Japan are flimsy and incapable of stand ing up under incendiary air raids or that the Japs can be starved into submission.

Tokyo Report of Solomon Battle Not Confirm
 ed in U. 5.
KNOX SAYS REPORT
 FALSE LIKE OTHERS
Enemy Says of Our Ships Lost There Since
 Aug. 25
(By Associated Pressl

A Japanese version of the big naval and air battle in the Solo, mons yesterday was picked up from a Tokyo broadcast in New York today and the Japs claimed the sinking of six American war ships, including four aircraft car riers, one battleship and another not identified in type.
 In Washington, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said that the Jap claims were another fishing expedition" This enemy report did recall others emanating from Tok- yo after the Midway and Coral Sea battles which turned out to be greatly exaggerated.
 From Headquarters
 The announcement was credited to imperial headquarters both in Tokyo and Berlin broadcasts and said that American casualties also included another battleship and three cruisers and destroyer heavily damaged
 On the other hand, comparative ly minor losses were acknowledged by the Japs. The report said that the Japs suffered only slight dam age to two of their aircraft car- riers and cruiser in an engage ment said to have taken place Monday to the north of Santa Cruz Island which lies just east of the main Solomon group.
 Was Battle Yesterday
 This would indicate that the Japs are describing the same bat tie which the US. Navy said yes- terday was in progress northeast of Guadalcanal.
 Tokyo also broadcast summary of alleged losses for the two sides in the Solomons area between Aug ust 25 and October 25, admitting for the first time the loss of IT Jap warships and transports. The summary claimed g American war ships and transports sunk in tha, period and total of 28 including the action claimed yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-In a statement issued by Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond, he urges a unified command for Army and Navy activities in Alaska.
 In the statement, Delegate Di- mond said: There is no criticism of either the Army or Navy Com mand there, but if Alaska should develop as an active war theatre it might be regret that we did not have a unified command. As it is now, sometimes the Navy is in command of some situations and in other cases the Army is in command. Sometimes it is oiffi- cult to determine who is in con- mand."

Washington itself the other day, cement forms collapsed and buried workers-11 injured. Multiply these three items by hundreds and you'll have what is happening every week.
 The Labor Department has been fighting the industrial accident battle for years and had made excellent progress until the war came along The terrific speed-up in production, the influx of in- experienced workers, the race against time, the relaxing of super vision, has wiped all that out.
 The Army engineers are now swinging into the fight in earnest. The Labor Department is making available to them all the records and case histories of their long battle. Where the Army engineers are in direct supervision of a job, they are instituting all known pre- cautions against accidents
 Where they are not, they are or ganizing an army of 25,000 super visors and foremen to take up the fight for safety. These supervisors are being trained under experi- enced safety engineers in night classes at universities and colleges in more than a score of states These supervisors will go back into the firing line armed with all the knowledge they need to make their

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-In the War Department, in the Depart ment of Labor and in the offices of the War Production Board these days, they are mapping plans for a nationwide battle against indus trial accidents.
 The rise in accidents in the war plants of the nation since we got into the world fracas has some of our production chiefs groggy.
 The War Department recently issued statement that if the first half of l942 rate is maintained on industrial accidents, the year will go off the calendar with more than 10000 war workers killed, 90,000 more permanently disabled and 100000 others injured The man hours lost probably will run close to half a billion.
