Some Congress members expressed
uneasiness yesterday upon hearing
the Navy's estimate that 10000
Japanese were in or near the west
ern Aleutian Islands.
A Navy spokesman made the esti-
mate, at the same time reporting
that aerial reconnaissance had
failed to disclose any of the enemy
on the Pribilof Islands in the Ber-
ing Sea, 3 group $50 miles north
west OF Dutch Harbor There had
been indirect reports that Japanese
had taken over those undefended
islands.

mate of the total number OF Japa-
nese either on the western Aleu-
tians or on ships in the area. Sena-
tor johnson, Democrat. of Colorado,
asserted that that's 10000 too
many"
However" he added. "the occu-
patton of these rocky islands is more
OF nuisance to us than 1t is OF
any military value 10 the japanese
since air bases are not possible on
those islands"
Senator Thomas, Democrat OF
Utah, added the comment that he
regarded the presence Of the jap
anese there with grave misgivings.
He suggested however, that globa
strategy might be such that no move
could be made to oust the Japanese
until more favorable conditions pre-
vail elsewhere.
Anthony j. Dimond, congressiona
delegate from Alaska said he as
sumed the Navy knew what 1t wa!
talking about" in announcing 1T
10000 figure. He added, however
that his own information indicated
the Japanese force to have beer
much larger in late June, perhaps
as many as $4,000.
