Refuse 10 Take Marie d Men-Protest 10 Con-
 gressmen

SEATTLE, Oct. 23-The Seattle areas 12 Selective Service Boards announced today that they have stopped inducing married men in- to the Army, despite orders from their headquarters in Washington.
 The chairmen of the local boards said the decision was made un- animously in letter addressed to Rep. Warren G. Magnuson and Senators Homer Bone and Mon c. Wallgren. They stated.
 The boards in this area are de- termined that the men in Seattle be accorded the same treatment accorded men in New York City, Philadelphia and St. Louis.
 We are informed that great pools of single men still exist in such cities and other congested areas and no thought is given to the induction of married men in those cities nor is such a step likely for many months to come"

CHARGE MEN FOR TAKING
 LIQUOR HERE
Seattle Case Involves H. legal Shipping 10
 Territory

SEATTLE, Oct. 23.-George Ed mond, Preece Fletcher and Reed Burgan pleaded guilty on Federal Court indictmen charging them with transporting four cases of tax paid liquor to Alaska on an Army transport and selling the liquor to soldiers there.
 Assistant United States Attorney Tom Durham suggested probation ary periods for the men because of the need of manpower. Judge Black however, condemned the men for profiteering in wartime while hold ing government jobs and said that they occupied space in the trans port with something that was of no benefit to anybody.
 He said that there had been gov- ernment expense involved in hauling the liquor to Alaska and if the men were placed on probation because they needed jobs, it would encourage others to violate the law
 The profiteer men were charged with having sold the liquor at $20 a quart after paying $3 for it in Seattle.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. - US. Marines and soldiers on Guadal- canal Island have repulsed sec ond small attack by the Japs on their western flank and destroyed at least 12 enemy planes in re- cent days, the Navy announced.
 The communique said that a small enemy force attacked Ameri- can positions October 21. This was repulsed by the US. troops. On the same day, seven enemy bombers escorted by fighters attacked the Guadalcanal air base.
 Our anti-aircraft batteries de- stroyed one bomber and damaged two the Navy stated, while our intercepting fighter planes shot down six Jap lighters. Two Ameri- can fighters were lost.
 The discovery of additional Jap on the islands near Gua- dalcanal was indicated in the Navy's report.
 It said that American Douglas Dauntless -bombers attacked the enemy on Russell Island, about 30 miles northwest of Guadalcanal.
 Several groups of enemy planes also attacked Guadalcanal airfield during bad weather on the after noon of October 9, but Gruman Wildcat fighters intercepted them and downed one entire group, de- stroying five bombers.
 The communique also reported a second smelling by an enemy ship of an American position at Espi- ritu, Santo Island, New Hebrides.

GENOA HIT HARDEST|N
 HUGE RAID
Biq ur-Motored Planes Slash Out dt Axis
 Partner
tBy Associated Press)

A mighty bomber arm of the Royal Air Force reached across the Alps last night to strike the Italian homn- land the heaviest blow of the war, hitting Genoa with such a weight of explosives that even Rome conceded great damage" was done.
 Turin, the Fascist arsenal city in the north, was also hit but appar- ently the chief assault fell on the harbor and industries at Genoa.
 The British Air Ministry an- nounced this morning that strong force of aircraft" made the attack but did not disclose just how many planes were in the force.
 The Italian communique, issued at Rome, however, spoke of force of notable dimensions" made the night assault.
 Hitler's Axis partner now has ap7 parently got one sample of the fiery devastation of the four -motored bombers that have been scourging the Reich week after week.
 Two air alarms, each lasting from 85 to 90 minutes, were sounded last night at Geneva as the planes, ap- parently the British raiders, passed high in the sky over the city going and coming from the attack on the Italian areas. The length of the alarms attest to the large number of bombers the British flung over the section in the great air move ment.
 The round trip flight of the bomb- ing raiders was 1,500 miles across three countries on the continent, also the highest mountain range.
 The British Air Ministry said not one British plane is missing as the result of the long raiding attack.
 The raid last night was the first assault on Italy by home-based RAF bombers in more than six months.

 NEAR BURMA

LONDON, Oct. 23-The presence of powerful British battle squadron in the Indian Ocean, including at least three battleships and the air craft carrier Illustrious, is disclosed here today authoritatively, as a se- quel to Gen. Waveil's declaration that Burma must be retaken from the Japs.

 All are under the command of Admiral Sir James Somerville.
 The Illustrious is one of the most famous ships of the British Navy and is a veteran of many Mediter- ranean battles. She was last re- ported in April in a northern Brit ish port.

AIeufians Are Fertile
 Land Worth Holding Is
 Claim Made by Residents
By WILLIAM L, WORDEN

AN ALEUTIAN ARMY OUT Wide World The ques- ton, What are we fighting for in the Aleutian Islands?" has been asked many times, and the easiest answers have been negatiye-ther are no people, no trees, practically no animals. few homes, no farms.
 But an assumption that the Aleutians are barren, worthless rocks is unjustified and arouses immediate opposition among per- sons who have lived or travelled extensively in the islands.
 Tn the first place, the soil is extremely fertile, sandy loam. which as @ matter of regularity grows wild. pea vines and various grasses-almost all nutritious to cattle or sheep-waist high on a tall man. Wild rye has heads six inches long, various valuable herbs grow wild, including arnica, dig tails and others. Natives have for centuries lived on the berries of the so-called ptarmigan bush and on the roots of various tubers when other food was unavailable. Carl- bou and reindeer grow fat on the grass and sport some of the finest horn growths to be found any, where.
 National Forest
 In a few places where soldiers or trappers planted tiny victory gardens as experiments, radishes, lettuce and beets thrive. Some of the soil seems lacking in lime. but that is it's only apparent deficiency.
 Trees are lacking. There are several explanations why but wherever trees have been planted, they thrive. On one windswept isle. troops have planted a single sap- ling, surrounded it with a tight fence and dubbed it the Aleutian National Forest. One small juniper like tree grows naturally on some islands. It is dwarf species only 18 to 24 inches tall-but tree nonetheless.
 Contrary to common opinion, the soil is not particularly rocky. True, volcanoes ill places have thrown huge boulders for miles toward the beaches. True, too, that nearly every island is topped with some kind of fog bound, forbidding peak. But around the peaks and between the boulders are wild meadows that would make a Missouri mule chor-
