INSIDE' ON ALEUTIANS

O1N 4A114NO
The inside story can now be told
of why the Japs were able to land
in the Aleutian islands and bomb the
U. S. naval base at Dutch Harbor
with so little opposition. AS with
most things in this war, the problem
goes back to lack of foresight, and
also, to some extent, lack of army
navy cooperation.
Not generally known is the fact
that the navy in September, 194l,
some two months before Pearl Har-
Dor, refused to let the army build
an air base on Umnak island to
guard the navy's Dutch Harbor
base.
What happened was that Senator
Brewster of Maine, a member OF
the Truman committee and of the
naval affairs committee, flew to
Alaska last September with Brig.
Gen. Arthur Wilson to ascertain
whether Alaska needed further for
tifcations. At Kodiak they met
Brig. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner,
commander of the arrny's forces,
whose father, famous Civil war
commander, once helped to pay
Ulysses S. Grants way home from
West Point and later surrendered to
Grant in Tennessee.
General Buckner wanted to go on
from Kodiak to Dutch Harbor with
Senator Brewster, and although the
navy was willing to supply an am
phibian plane to the senator, they
baked at having General Buckner
go along, referred to him as
'hitch-hiker.
Finally, however, the party, in
Guiding General Buckner, went on
to Dutch Harbor and located an ex-
cellent site for flying field on UNI
max island. Immediately upon their
return, Senator Brewster arranged
for a senate appropriation to build
an air base at Umnak, while the
war department prepared to pro-
coed.
Navy Says No.
The war department also notified
the navy of its move, since the army
is charged with protecting the shore
establishments of the navy. A few
weeks later, however, word came
back from the navy that it did not
want the army to build an air base
on Umnak island to protect Dutch
Harbor.
When senators asked Vice Admiral
Frederick j. Horne why, he replied:
"The navy can protect Dutch Har-
bor.''
This was in late September. Two
months later, after Pearl Harbor,
the navy frantically demanded an
air base to protect Dutch Harbor,
but it had to be started during the
snow and ice of an Alaskan winter.
Therefore the date of completion
was July, 1912.
Probably the Japs knew this date.
They have had fishing vessels cruis-
ing through the Aleutians off and
on for some time. At any rate it
was the first week in June, one
month before the Umnak air base
was finished, that the Japs struck.
And when they bombed Dutch
Harbor, the navy's flying patrol
boats there were helpless. Heavy
and slow, they lacked protection
from the army's fast pursuit planes,
so speedy Jap Zero fighters made
mincemeat of them.
Lack of nearby army air base
from which fighters and bombers
could protect the rest of the Aleu-
tians undoubtedly contributed also
to the ease with which the Japs took
Kiska harbor and the western Aleu-
tians.

Not a House Still Intact
In StoIiazrad, Nozis Say

NEW YORK, Oct. IL (Py.-Not a
house, public building, factory, ware
house or railway station remains
intact in Stalingrad, the German
radio said last night in broadcasting
the account of a German war re-
porter, Oswald Zenkner, from the
embattled city.
I'm the debris of walls and in the
heaps OF rubbish. sharpshooters
have taken up positions. he said.
Every gully had been turned into
stronghold"
Soviet soldiers creep along sub
terranean passages, hide in man
holes, and take up positions in
cellars whose walls have been
strengthened by sandbags, he con-
tinued.
'The defenders are not to be seen,
but their bullets are whistling every
where" he added. Everywhere lie
corpses. but no one takes time to
bury them"
A part of the dispatch sought to
give the impression that the Ger
mans hold the most important parts
of the town.
He described the civil population
with gray faces" clad in rags and
starving, and said German authori-
ties had ordered removal of civilians
from outside the fighting zone.

per cent and will provide an added
incentive to convert or conserve oil.
Suppose home falls within the
range? The cut will be 80 1-3 per
cent below last years purchases.
VIII the very efficient user of fuN
oil be cut less than 80 1-3 per cent?
Yes, but not less than IS per cent.
Then the efficient user will not
have so much need to convert or
conserve fuel oil? No, he would not.
In that way he will be rewarded for
his efficient use of fuel oil. As q
matter Of fact, he is not likely to be
able to greatly improve his heating
efficiency.
What about the allotments of fuel
oil for the fall and spring months,
as compared with December, Janu-
ary and February? That has been
taken care Of by dividing the heating
season into five periods of approxi-
mately equal degree days; that is,
equal in fuel needs.
Five Periods Planned.
What are these periods? They
will vary somewhat among the four
zones. Roughly, the first period Will
include September, October and No.
veinber; period II, December; period
III. January; period w, February;
period v, March, April, May, June,
July and August.
What has this to do with the sea-
sons fuel oil allotments? The sea-
sons ration Of fuel oil will be allo-
Gated equally by heating periods.
What does this mean in terms Of
the issuance Of coupons? It means
that coupons will be issued for each
period. Coupons for period I will
be number /, etc.
Will the coupons marked No. 1
be redeemable in period II? Only
for brief overlap period to facili-
tate delivery efficiency.
Value Of Coupons Given?
What is the value in gallons of
fuel oil, of each coupon? The cou-
pons have an indefinite value, ex-
pressed in terms of units. The first
period value is 10 gallons per unit.
Values for subsequent periods will
be announced later.
Why are the coupons of indefinite
value? To permit periodical ad-
justment of the gallonage value to
conform with the available supply
OF fuel oil and weather conditions.
Explain how this will work out in
practice. If period I in the north
ern zone is unusually cold, the unit
value OF coupons for period II in
that zone will be increased to make
up for the unusual fuel require
ments.
Why is this necessary? Because
none OF us can forecast the weather
several months in advance.
Will any additional allowances be
granted families with small chill
dren? Yes. Families in private
homes with children under 4 will be
eligible for 125 additional gallons
