 SINCE JUNE
U. 5. Airmen Hitting with 12 Tons Every Day on
 AIeutian Base

HEADQUARTERS ALASKA DE- TENSE COMMAND, Oct. 23.-Am- erican airmen are about ready to drop their one millionth pound of projectiles on beleaguered Kiska since the middle of June when the aerial attacks began against the occupied island.
 The tempo of our bombings, tor- pedoing and machine gunning has increased steadily until dropping l2 tons of bombs daily has become not at all unusual.
 Ordnance experts here are sweat ing under the task of loading the planes with enough bombs to drop, getting enough bullets for the ma- chine guns to shoot. But they have kept exact records of the ammuni- tion used and the million pound mark is just now visible.
 The exact figures are subject about which the Army prefers to let the Japanese guess. But this much can be said:
 If the aerial craftsmanship had been spread out instead of con- centrated, there would have been at least one bullet for every 20- yard square in the comparatively small section of the 4O-mile long island which the Japanese are us- ing.
 Similarly, if the bombs had been patterned instead of clustered at specific targets, there would have been one for every 22.15-yard square.

Why Did FOR Make
 Recent Secret Tour!
 Simple Answer Given
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. = Now that all the tumult and the shout ing has died down, let's examine the record for an answer to the one question that generally was overlooked: Why did President Roosevelt take that 9,000-mile trip?
 Was it to find how the war pro- duction effort is really progress ing? Certainly not. There isn't a time of day or night that the President couldn't call for certi- fled production figures and give more accurate percentage on pro- duction efficiency than he could by glancing over such plants as he could visit in two-weeks tour.
 Was it for political reasons? Hardly. Political tours aren't made in secrecy. We have the Presidents own word for it that he saw no state chairmen or political candi- dates; visited with only II gover- nors -four of whom were Republi- cans) made no speeches. If his visit with former Vice President Garner has any political tinge, it could only be that the President and Cactus Jack" were laying the ghost of an old political feud that no longer has any meaning.
 Was it to get finger on the pulse of the people? In some small measure, perhaps. But travelling IA days by train, moving on secret schedules, riding in closely guarded car, the President is not going to feel many more pulses than he is right here where the mail, visitors, editorial digests, and such keep him in constant contact with what is going on OUTSIDE Washington.
 Any one or all of these interpre- tations may be tagged onto the Presidents trip. Only the President himself knows really why he went and he doesn't need to explain But the truth of the matter prob- ably is just as simple as some of

RED FORCES CONTINUING

Germans Attempt to Esdb- fish Lines as Snow
 Starts

MOSCOW, Russia, Oct. 23.-The Russians announce the capture of an important tactical position northwest of Stalingrad, and the Germans, although using 9 divis- ions, totaling about 250,000 men in the siege, are reported to have been thrown on the defensive in a number of blocks in the city.
 Red Army counter r-attacks have forced the Nazis to defend their newly-won positions in number of sectors. The army newspaper Red Star said the defenders have seized the initiative at several points where the enemy has fever ishly started to fortify it's posi- tions in the ruined skeletons of buildings.
 Hand Over Clothes
 Meanwhile, wintry storms swept the steppes and the Nazi prepara- tions for winter are reported hast ened since the snow began flying.
 The newspaper Pravda said that civilians in the German occupied town of Buddenovsk have been ora dered to hand over their warm clothes to the invasion army Diso- bedience to the order is punish able by death.
 Large Trench Raids
 The noon communique today re- ported the conquest for the major position northwest of Stalingrad without details. The drive, how ever, is in an area where the Rus sians are conducting a series of large scale trench raids.
 Signs of weakening of the Ger man forces in the Caucasus was reported. Pravda reported that some lines in the Mozdok region now are being held by special troops, such as electricians n d engineers.

Persistence Wins, Curl
Russell, Newsie, Finds

Carl Russell, 1O-year-old Mime
apolis newsboy for this paper, be-
lieves persistence wins the day.
For months Carl, who helps his
brother, Harlan T. Russell, sell
papers in the Humboldt Ave. N.
residential section in Minneapolis,
tried to sell a certain housewife
the paper.
Finally, just to help the newsie,
she bought a paper. She did not
plan to continue to buy, but she
thought Carl had tried to sell her
so many times he deserved a sale.
Carl went to her house the next
week prepared for a refusal but to
his surprise the lady bought a
paper and has been buying one
each week since.
She explained to Carl that she
had never realized how much in
teresting news she could obtain by
reading her local paper.
Carl is happy and the paper
folks are happy that they have
added another member to the grow
ing family of readers.

Frank Peoples
Acquires Lake
Shore Property

Frank Peoples, veteran Mime
apolis real estate man and con-
tractor, has acquired eight acres of
real estate on Long Lake with a
lakeshore frontage of 951 feet.
The property is 10 miles from
Minneapolis on a main highway
about two blocks from the amuse-
ment place formerly called Stew
arts Place.
Mr.. Peoples is considering the
possibility of subdividing the land
into lots and selling them to the
public for a summer colony. IF he
decides to do this, it will provide
Minneapolis and St. Paul with
summer recreational opportunities
for boating, fishing and swimming
a short distance from the Mime
apolis loop.
The beach at this place is sandy,
nice for swimmers, and the land is
so arranged that there is ample
room for golfng, trapshooting,
picnicking.
The owner and avid fisherman
reports that Long Lake is full of
fish. He pointed out that he felt
that there was real need for a
fishing place close to the cities. He
said that with the spread Of race
prejudice in this area many lake
resort keepers have refused con-
sistently to rent boats to colored
people.
The closest resort operated by
colored people, he added, was al
most $50 miles from the Twin
Cities.
Since Peoples acquired the prop
erty much effort has been made to
get him to sell by whites in that
neighborhood. He says he hasn't
made up his mind as yet but he
thinks if the colored people would
support the development of the
subdivision he will keep it for them.
