 The first two numbers of 'En Guardia" were put out entirely by the Rockefeller office. They were something of an experiment.

Bad Weather Apparently Stops HostiIiiies-Sfa
 ments by Observers

WASHINGTON, June 17-Devel- opments in the warfare in the North Pacific, especially in the AL eutian area, are shrouded in bad weather, especially fog.
 Latest reports unofficially an- nounced, were that Kiska was being bombed by Army planes in an effort to dislodge the invading Japanese and Attu had also been raided.
 No reports have been received, 1t Is unofficially stated, regarding tho size of the Japanese fleet, after the recent attack on the Nippon unit in which it was officially stated one enemy cruiser was sunk, and and a torpedo had been dropped on an aircraft carrier and also three Japanese cruisers, one des- troyer, one gunboat and one trans port had been damaged.
 It is considered feasible that the damaged vessels might have left for a repair port in one of the Japan csc islands, unless repairs were made on the high seas.
 Observers take cognizance of the report from Chungking that. the Chinese fear an invasion of Russia is imminent and if there is any basis for this belief, the Aleutian Island Japanese fleet might have started on this move, abandoning a further move on Alaska. Other observers believe the attack on the Northern territory air bases has only subsided temporarily and has not been abandoned.

The w ashingtUn Merry Go Round
Bv DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON - Only those on the inside realize it, but most tragic neglect of the war probably has been our failure to send bombing planes and munitions to China.
 If the situation continues, China will be to the LISA. what Singapore was to the British Empire. And we will have to do some very empar- rasing explaining as to why we sent China desperately needed mu- nitions too little and too late"
 Tragic fact is that although the average American has read Tn the papers about U. s. supplies being carried triumphantly into China by U. s. airplanes. actually mere driblet of munitions has arrived III China in the last three months.
 It is also a tragic fact that of the 100 big transport planes taken from U. s. commercial airplanes to carry munitions to China, only about a dozen actually were sent to China. Many of them still are in the U.S.A.
 Meanwhile, the Japs are taking advantage of U. s. indecision by staging a drive designed to put China out of the war, meanwhile holding up their attacks on India and Australia.
