 Is 1t soulful? 1 wouldn't know, These late evening crooners have way Of singing too alarmed soft and low. All the folks are gathered round the mike, They like this slow motion croon, Strauss and Beethoven have no part In white Christmases and moon There it goes again, only slower,
 I can't turn it of and be mean, B11t who cares about someone's heart In blackout at the stage door canteen!

While the Navy was using the village as a temporary base the native Aleuts scattered to fishing camps. Navy pilots left the home base and a vessel took the Me Gees and 62 natives.
 The Jap attack on the island was described by Steve Gardner, young native chief, who was among the A left behind by the vessel. He and his tribesmen were hiding Tn a sod hut near the village. Gardner sighted 5 4-mot- ored Jap bombers coming in from the East. He said "the planes first target was the island har Dor used only the day before, and stores of gasol ne. Next the bombers made two trips over the village and scored a direct hit on the vacant schoolhouse, and then dropped 6 bombs, all of which were wasted "
 Returning, enemy planes swooped low and machine gunned 'the tents in one of the fishing villages, then left, roaring direct ly over where the natives hid, unharmed.
 Gardner and his 23 compan- ions were flown out the next day in 2 Navy planes. None of the Aleuts had been on planes before. Said one native, 6S, livery good ride. Ala same like duck"

Wage Settled

Washington (R)-An author itative source said that the War Labor Board awarded a wage in- crease of A cents a day in the Little Steel case, instead of the one dollar asked by CIO United Steel Worker. The decision is re- garded generally as keystone to wartime industrial wage structures
 Employer members joined with public members in 8 to 4 vote, according to the source, who said the labor members had served notice they were filing a dessenting report.
 The case directly effects about 157 ,000 employees of Bethlehem, Republic, Island and Youngstown Sheet and Tube companies, but it IS generally believed wage will apply to about 100000 other workers drought the steel in- dustry, and will have immediate bearing upon the one dollar day wage demands of 100000 auto mobite plant workers whose bases are now before the board.

Kisko Described

From an Alaskan port (R) In the first eyewitness account of operations against the Japanese occupying Kiska, evacuees described the courageous work of young Navy fliers who blasted the enemy forces with 1000 ID. bombs in continued attacks They told too of futile Japanese bombing of the unprotected Aleutian island which was wit messed by natives hiding in near by sod huts. While awaiting evacuation, Mir. and Mrs. Char les R. McGee, Indian service teachers, said a force of Navy pilots dropped their flying boats in their little harbor one evening after the Japs occupied Kiska, and then for two days and nights MoGee said the Navy pilots working in two hour shifts, drop ped bombs on the Japs at Kiska sinking large transport, a sub and other shJps and downing two defending Jap zero fighters. Sink ing of Jap warships by Arm and Navy aircraft has been announc- ed by Navy communiques.
 McGee continued "the young Navy fliers got tougher each raid The procedure was to fly high over Kiska, dive through clouds, level out at sight of the objective and then dive bombed from about 300 feet Some pilots were pug zled when they scored dircted hts on a large transport and It failed to go under. Later they found out that rocks were hold ing the smashed vessel up."

Most planes came back with bullet holes in the pontoons The McGce's remedied that by donating the schools stock of pencils, which were broken and stuff into the pontoons to keep them floating.
 Then the McGee's reported that a Jap reconnaissance plane sight ed them and the Navy ordered their evacuation. The fun was over with the score much in the Navy's favor.
