two yeals may pass before peace

men and women who have finan-

ALASKANS COMPLIMENTED

The jap attack on Dutch Harbor June proved
to be the first time civilian defense organization
had been called to operate in an actual raid, ac-
cordng to the report received recently by Director
James M. Lands of the Office Of Civilian Defense
from Mayor John w. Fletcher of Unalaska
Fletcher said in his report that the IS whites and
natives of his air raid warden service deliberately
posed themselves standing the open amid the din
of bombs antiarcrait fire to spot possible in
cendiary bombs.

workers carried out their instructions to the letter

Director Lands praised the calm efficiency of the
civilian workers and the entire population of the is
land adding that the example set at Unalaska should
any who fear that well-organized American
communities will become pancky in case of attack.
In describing the RAID Mayor Fletcher said in his
report:
I'VE ready, with back pack pumps. shovels
and sand, but no incendiarieS were dropped. The
pump tanks had arrived just few days before We
had begun preparations air raids right after Pearl
Harbor. Both civilians and soldiers began digging
sheters-we call them duRouts-months in advance
of the Dutch Harbor raid We had collective dug
outs covered with planting and camouflaged with
sod, and hollow L-shaped trenches for one person In
of these person could lie crosswise what
ever direction in which planes might come, giving
protection against strafing
I'VE had assigned five to each four hours,
fire watchers, wardens and fire fighters Each
had his special duties his special to cover,
and had been trained to fight incendiary bombs.
Many also had first aid training We lucky
to have lots of help in training from soldiers
mo one in Unalaska killed or injured in the
raid During the attack the military authorities sug-
geSted the women and children tabout 125 persons)
would be safer in nearby valley than in a dugout
So I made six or seven shuttle trips with my car
loaded with women and children, and other cars
joined me. All the men stayed on the job though.
Il surprised at the way my town took the
raid. There overwhelmingly some people
were aware how grave the situation was as anyone
would be with death at his door, any possible min
ute. But they carried instructions to the letter

7la cent hourly increases, Gilbert
was told

If necessary, the OPA can keep

In the end. it was Chairman
Davis VINO talked Gilbert down. The
War Labor Board executive argued
that wage increases should be based
solely on relative increases in liv-

behind TIE sterilization policy Davis
announced few days later.

While in the White House, Pres
