BRIEFS:

OFFICIAL - Although congress
had several weeks earlier passed
joint resolutions of war against Hun
gary, Rumania and Bulgaria, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has now formally
proclaimed a state of war with these
Balkan countries.
DISOBEYS-Although he had re-
ceived orders to change his course,
British submarine commander An
thony Miers, continued to trail an
Axis convoy into a heavily guarded
harbor. Without damage to his sub
or it's crew he torpedoed two ships,
ran a gantlet of enemy planes and
warships and later for his act of
"disobedience" he was awarded the
Victoria Cross.
RATIONS-A London news report
says that fish is now being rationed
in Norway and that the food situa-
ton in that country is growing "pro>
gressively acute"
FIFTY-Britain has been shipping
so tanks a week to Russia, says
Oliver Lyttelton, British minister OF
production, and further his country
has to date fulfilled all war material
contracts with the Soviet, he said.
DEATH-Death came to George
Sutherland, 80-year-old jurist and
former member of the U. S. SUI
preme court. He had been one of
the conservative bloc on the high
bench in the famous ''5 to 4" deci.
sions of the early New Deal days

ALEUTIAN:
Blind Mans Buff

For more than a thousand miles
through the fog-shrouded waters of
the Aleutian islands, mammoth
game of blind mans buff is being
played between American air and
naval forces and the Japanese in
vaders who may be preparing
major push against continental
North America.
Bad as well as good news con-
corning the fortunes of this grim
game was contained in reports from
the Aleutian sector. On the debit
side was the navy's announcement
that at the same time they landed
at Attn and Kiska, the Japs also
occupied third island-Aggatu, $50
miles west and slightly north of the
United States base at Dutch Harbor,
on Unalaska.
On the credit side was a COM
munique revealing that the landings
on the three small islands had cost
the japanese Is ships sunk or dam
aged. This total included one heavy
cruiser, three destroyers and q
troop-laden transport sunk and an
aircraft carrier, four cruisers and
three destroyers damaged.
The communique disclosed that
the Dutch Harbor base was attacked
twice on June 3 and 4, instead of
once, and that in the second raid
an old United States station ship,
the Northwestern, which had been
beached and converted to use as a
barracks, had been destroyed.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1942-07-30

This is Maj. A. F. Kalberger Of
North Hollywood, Calf, who led the
attack of the u. s. army's four
motored bombers on the Italian feet
in the central and eastern Medi-
terranean sea recently. 1t was the
first participation by u. S. air forces
in that theater of war.
In Egypt Nazi Marshal RommePs
drive for Alexandria and Suez had
been slowed down for over two
weeks and the British were busily
at work keeping his hard-hitting
forces off balance.
Then the word began to sift
through to the outside world that
the U. S. army air forces were also
in there pitching-and bombing. For
it was announced from Cairo that
Maj. Gen. Lewis Brereton had as
sumed command over these U. S.
forces in the Middle East and for
some time been directing a series
of terrific bombing raids on the
chief Axis supply ports of Tobruk
and Bengasi.
In driving through to establish
himself some IS miles to the west
of Alexandria, Rommel had danger
ously extended his supply and COM
munication lines. It was the job
of the United Nations to harass
such supply and communication &C
tivities with all possible fervor. Not
only were American planes blasting
the Axis forces, but the British had
called into action many of their
navy planes to fight against the land
based enemy.
Meanwhile on the ground British
Imperial and Axis land forces bat
tied back and forth for new foot
holds on the barren wastes near FL
Alamein. Tanks and truck-borne in
fantry tangled day in and day out in
the non-ending fury of desert war
fare that is Egypt in midsummer,
1912.
General Brereton had been in
command of American air forces in
India and came to the western des-
ert area with large numbers of big
four-motored high-altitude bombers.
He described these as being more
than suitable for action on the Egyp-
tan front because of the cloudless
skies. An announcement from his
headquarters indicated that the U.
S. bombing units were depending on
Raj facilities and ground crews to
keep their ships flying. He spoke of
splendid "RAF cooperation" and
said that 1--WE also depend on the
Raj for intelligence :"

MAC ARTHUR ON WAR:
off the Record

In an extremely frank" two-hour
off-the-record talk to more than 100
newspaper editors and correspond
ents, Gen. Douglas Macarthur out
lined his views of the entire World
war picture and the southwest Pa
cific area in particular.
The conference was Macarthur S
second since his arrival in Austria
liza. The first was held March %.
Macarthur answered all questions
with surprising freeness after being
assured that everything he might
say was strictly off the record. As
usual, Macarthur used sports termi-
nology in illustrating his points,
making reference to prize fighting
and baseball in his explanations. He
also made frequent references to
his experiences in World War 1,
when he was chief of staff of the
And division in France.

ALIENS:
More Arrests

AS the Washington military COM
mission trial of the eight Nazi sabo-
teurs drew to its close the FBI ar
rested IA persons in New York and
Chicago charging them with acting
as contacts and assisting the eight
on trial.
Formal charges had been filed
against six Chicago persons alleged
to have aided the saboteur Herbert
Haupt. Four others will also be
charged with unlawfully and know
ingly assisting the Nazis: three with
being dangerous alien enemies; and
one is being held in custody pending
further Investigation.
During the saboteur trial it was
revealed that they had been sur
prised by John C. Cullen, 2l-year-
old coast guardsman, when they
landed from a submarine on the
coast of Long Island in June. Cullen
was on six-nile coastal patrol at
the time. When he discovered them
they threatened him and he pretend
ed to accept bride but rushed i'm
mediatey to his headquarters to
spread the alarm.

CHINA:
Fighting Back

The Japs learned something more
of the Chinese ability to fight back
as the defenders of the Hangchow-
Nanchang railway front wiped out
three weeks of the enemy's gains
in a concentrated drive that netted
them a 25-mile wedge into Jap lines
plus two important towns.
In this fighting in eastern Kiangsi
province the Jap was virtually
cleared out of the southeast Cheki-
ang coastal area and the Chinese
recaptured the two vital ports of
Julian and Wenchow.
Taking the Japs by surprise, the
Chinese captured several villages
along the railway before smashing
through to the coast. Continual thin
ming out of Jap garrisons in the new
ly occupied regions of Kiangsi and
Chekiang provinces helped the Chi
nese in their victories, according to
military experts on the scene.
This thinning out was viewed as
being most important for some
sources indicated strongly thattroops
leaving the area were headed for
Inner Mongolia. And this was inter-
preted as meaning that preparation
for the long expected Jap invasion
of Russia was actually making head
way.
But the Chinese were intent on
keeping their minds on the task at
hand-regaining the entire 403-mile
Kangchow-Nanchang railway-and
refused to be diverted entirely by
the movement to Inner Mongolia.
The official communiques from
Chungking said that attacks all
along the line were in full swing
and limited that the Jap positions
were far from secure.

RUSSIAN FRONT:
BLoOdiest Battles

When Russian troops evacuated
Voroshilovgrad, largest city in the
Don basin, it was plain that the Ger
man drive southeastward along the
Donetz river was threatening to join
Nazi troops striking near Millerovo
along the railway leading to Rostov,
100 miles to the south.
A Soviet communique said that,
aside from the loss of Voroshilov-
grad, the Russian army still was in
fiicting heavy blows on the Germans
IN two other areas. At VoroneZh,
from where the Nazis were thrust
ing eastward toward the Volga riv-
er, the Russians killed 1000 more
Germans and blasted a path into an
other town which the Germans had
captured in their initial break
through. The main Nazi drive south
of Millerovo also was slowed up.
The Russians now are defending
an east-west line situated north of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
grad railway, which is approximate
ly IS miles north of Rostov.
A Russian dispatch stated that
American and British built tanks as
well as planes were bolstering the
Red lines in the imperiled south. A
second war bulletin said that the
Nazis lost I'll planes in the previous
weeks fighting. Russian losses were
placed at 1876 planes.
Reports indicate that the battles
in the lower Don basin are as bloody
as the world has ever known. The
extreme southern section was the
scene of the most furious fighting,
placing Rostov in grave danger.

BAN:
On Civil Flights

Within the eastern U. S. defense
zone, the army has now established
a "vital defense area" extending
along the Atlantic coast from Maine
to the Carolina capes and all civilian
and military training and "miscel-
laneous" flying has been barred
within the zone. The step was TAX
en-, said the army command, as nee
essary to the "war effort because
much of such flying ''jeopardizes the
air defense of the area"
