LONDON, Oct. 19.-German day light raiders, taking advantage of the low clouds, attacked several points on the east coast of England and caused considerable damage with some casualties and giving Lon don three brief alerts.
 Nazi planes, flying singly and far apart in an apparent attempt to confuse the ground forces, machine gunned and bombed scattered areas and even the shopping district of one town was bombed by a low-fly- ing plane that circled and sprayed the main street with machine gun fire.
 It is believed a number of per- sons have also been trapped in the wreckage.
 The area east of Anglican, near the Thomas Estuary, was the hard est hit.
 One low-flying raider machine gunned a train from low altitude as the train was pulling out of the station and several coaches were damaged but there were no casual ties reported.

MacARTHURS HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, Oct. 19.-A com munique issued Sunday morning said Allied Nations units on Sat urday heavily bombed the Solomon Islands where the Japanese forces are attacking the American-held in stallations.
 It is disclosed that MacArthur's air forces are giving powerful sup port to the Americans in the Solo, mons by hampering Japanese base ships and this is accompanied bf the announcement that Allied ground troops have captured Templeton's Crossing, high in the Owen Stanley Mountain Range, of New Guinea.
 Detailing the air action, the com munique said that a big Jap trans port was attacked by bombers off Shorthand Island in the Western Solomons but the result of the at tack was not then known.
 The communique also mentioned that attacks were made on the Jap anese bases on Buka Island, and also at Buin, at the northern tip of the Solomons on Bougainville Island.

NEW ENEMY CAMP SEEN,
 KI5kA ISLE

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DE- TENSE COMMAND, Oct. 17.-(De- layed) )-The Japanese are still re- inforcing the Kiska Island garrison and are building new installations on the south side of the island at Gertrude Cove where a medium sized cargo ship was hit by American bombs in raid carried out last Thursday.
 The possibility exists that some Jap troops may have been brought from the other Aleutian Islands which the invaders found inhoSptt- able and unfit for bases.
 Army planes already have bombed and strafed the nen shore installa- tions which resemble those aban- doned at Attu Island.
 Last Thursdays attack on the car go ship by B-26 bombers left the vessel flaming in column of smoke which was about 500 feet high when our fast planes visited the Jap tn- stallation again three hours later. flying at about 100 feet,
 The Gertrude Cove installations are separate from the main enemy camp on Kiska. and the possibility also exists that the new location may have been chosen because parts of the main camp have proved un- suitable, especially under repeated American attacks.

NAzI FORCE REBELLING
 IN NORWAY
Two Concentration Camps Sci Up : Mutinies,
 Suicides Grow

LONDON, Oct. 19. Mutinies, assertions, suicides and general lowering of morale are on the in- crease among the 100000 German troops of occupation in Norway, the Norwegian government in exile has been informed in fresh reports brought out of the homeland
 Two large concentration camps have been opened for the mutineers along the Finnish frontier, and at least 1,400 Nazis are said to be confined in them.
 One authoritative account said that 1000 German soldiers stationed at North Kirkenes mutinied against an order for them to go to Russia and one out of every ten was order ed executed.
 Order Changed
 But the order had to be counter manded, the report said, because Nazi firing squads refused to shoot down their own men. The rebels were sent to the concentration camp instead.
 Suicides are declared to be mounting at an alarming" rate. Deserters are reported to be leaving in increasing numbers and making their way across the Finnish border along routes outlined in leaflets dropped from Russian planes.
 Accounts of Hitler's troubles with his own army. coupled with the growing unrest of the conquered peoples of Europe who are rebelling against the Nazi campaign of re- cruiting labor for war industries, both in occupied and unoccuped France, amplify the increasing pres sure being brought against the NaziS.
 Many New Agents
 Five hundred Gestapo agents are reported to have been assigned to the job of rounding up workers in the Vichy ruled zone, alone.
 This report followed on the heels of dispatches from France which told of wholesale rebellion by French workers who had been ordered to German war Industries. Several hundred Frenchmen were killed in riots in several cities.

 Score Heavily

BULLETIN Washing ton, Oct. 19.-The Navy reported early tonight that American surface ships have bombarded the Japs in northwestern Gua- dalcanaI Island, causing heavy explosions and fires with direct hits on ammunition dumps.
 This is the first mention of the presence of American naval ships in the Solomon Islands area since the Japs began land ing heavy achievements on Guadalcanal on October 13.
 POSITIONS POUNDED
 The Navy announcement also said that Jap positions are being pounded heavily and steadily by American planes, with Allied heavy bombers slashing at a concentration of enemy warships in the Short land Island area, and Navy and Marine planes joining the attack on enemy positions in an attempt to deal the renewed Nippon Offense a knockout blow that may decide the war in the Southwest Pacific.
 One flight of approximately 20 enemy bOmbers, escorted by an equal number of fighters, bombed American positions on Guadalcanal yesterday. The Navy said the raid resulted in the destruction of eight of the Jap bombers and II of the es- corting Zero fighter planes.
 SMASH AT LAPS
 On last Friday, the Navy said, our dive -bOmbers smashed at the Japs at Rekata Bay, bombing several anti-aircraft batteries and leaving fuel stor- age facilities burning, strafing and burning up 12 enemy sea planes, apparently on the water.

Crdfed Planes Are Noted Aboard Invaders
 Battle Wagons
By WILLIAM L. WORDEN Associated Press Correspondent


 HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DE- TENSE COMMAND, Oct. 19.-Dar- ing United States pilots of B-26 bombers, flying so low they had to pull up to clear the masts of Jap ships. have reported the probable destruction of two Japanese destroy CTS in an attack a few miles west of Kiska.
 As the swift medium bombers zoomed low across the water the Nippon warships desperately were trying to steam out of range, but the first destroyer was struck with at least five bombs loosed from almost at deck level, and the second enemy destroyer took at least four hits from the same level.
 Planes on Decks
 The American fliers, after press ing the attack for 45 minutes despite heavy anti-aircraft opposition, said that as they left their quarry, the decks of both Jap destroyers were filtered with large crates of planes and the crew of the first destroyer was clambering overheard to escape explosions. one of which was es- pecially heavy and occurred just be- hind the smokestack.
 The crew of the crippled ship could be seen in the water, strung out in the wreckage.
 Some of the crew of the second ship also could be seen in the water when the bombers left.
 Both Left Burning
 The first destroyer was burning with heavy blanket of smoke poll luting the air and explosions adding to the havoc. The second enemy vessel was loosing smoke through holes in its stern and was lying dead in the water.
 Five bombers carried out the smashing raid. The pilots included Warren A. Beth, of Fremont. Michi- gan, and the leader of the flight was Capt. Richard Salter, of Elm house, Texas, whose hits on the first destroyer immediately preceded the heaviest explosions.

Archie ShieIs Gives Alaska Day Speech in
 BeIIinghdm

The following Alaska Day speech was delivered in Bellingham on the date of the seventy fifth anniver- sary of the celebration of the for nal transfer of the Territory to the United States. It was written and presented by Archie w. Shiels, President of Pacific American Fisheries:
 Last year there was celebrated the o-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Alaska by Bering and Chirikov. It is strange thing how, from time to time, history has a habit of repeating itself. June 1741 was the month that Ber- ing and Chirikov sailed from Ram chatka on their voyage of discov- cry. A few days later they ran into dense fog and the vessels became separated. For three full days they endeavored to locate each other, but without success. then each Commander decided to continue on his voyage independently The re- suits are too well known for fur ther discussion here.
 It Fits
 June 1942 brought to the Aleu- tian Islands a force of Japanese invaders. It seems strange, does 1t not, that they should have chosen the Rat group of islands as their landing place; at least nothing could be more appropriate. An q here again, is where history re- peats itself. Fog made it well nigh impossible for our boys to locate the invaders, and greatly hampered their work.
 There was much criticism over the Aleutian Islands affair in its early stages, but not from those who knew the country and its con tinuous fogs from June until Sep

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

WASHINGTON A desperate backstage tug-of-war has been talk ing place in Chile for the past two or three weeks to prevent President de los Rios from making his sched- uled visit to the United States.
 Chief wire-pullers in this tug war have been Axis agents, many of them working through pre-Axis Chileans and Argentines. They an- ticipated that President Rios trip would lead definitely to Chilean break with the Axis, leaving Argen- tina as the one country still on diplomatic speaking terms with Ger many, Japan, and Italy.
 Until the last two or three weeks President Rios did not take very active interest in foreign affairs; saw everything through the pre- judiced eyes of his Foreign Min ister, Barros Jarpa. a strong isola- tionist.
 But the other day, young Nelson Rockefeller, head of the Cultural Committee for Latin America, called upon President Rios and gave him a first hand picture of the American attitude toward the war and.toward those countries which did not CO., operate toward winning the war.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-10-19
HARMFUL GOSSIP SPREAD


 Immediately after the Rockefeller visit all kinds of gossip spread along the diplomatic grapevine as to how the young millionaire had bull-dozed the President of Chile, threatening him with dire consequences if he did not break with the Axis. Chief spreader of this gossip was Foreign Minister Barros Jarpa, who reported that President Rios was so unified with Rockefeller that he virtually had decided to cancel his trip.
 This story, however. seems to have been generously smeared with the Axis propaganda brush. Actually, Rockefeller's talk was frank and friendly. He pointed out that the United States naturally would CO., operate with those who cooperated with her. But he made no threats.
 Furthermore, President Rios seem- ed to appreciate his frankness. He had never received very clear pie ture of the situation through the somewhat distorted vision of his Foreign Minister, and he wrote a letter to a friend expressing his ap- preciation of the Rockefeller visit.
 However, the back-stage wire-pull- ing to keep President Rios away from the charm of F. D. Roosevelt con- tinues.
 When Sumner Welles last week in Boston said that Argentina and Chile had permitted secret infor- nation to leak to the Axis, the anti American bloc in Chile bounced upon this with alacrity. Twisting the Spanish translation of permitted
