 The Indianapolis (IndD News argues that i've must do more than play for a stalemate in the Aleutians,' and asks for the op- ening of an "Aleutian front" The News adds: Any sizble establish ment of Japanese bases in the Aleutians would positively men ace no tonly Alaska, but Canada and f-o U. 5. mainland
 Though the Japanese may not plan to use the Aleutian base as springboards for attacks against the United States or Alaska, the Buffalo N. " Eveneing News (Ind. Rep) says they consider them most valuable, as "indicat- ed by the high cost they have been paying for them" What ever their purpose may be, the News continues, If they are use ful for the enemy they are use ful for us"
 Tt would be rankest folly to gamble on their presence being harmless, as some say" asserts the Philadelphia Record IndD Let's not treat this thrust as a minor matter. The Japs are on our doorstep. And if they think that's important, we dare not think otherwise
 "The Western Aleutians are vital American territory warns the New York Times (nd DemD Tt would be follow to allow the Japanese to hOl dthem. There is widespread dismsy that they have been permitted to stay so long"
 ''Basically," says the Christian Science Monitor (Ind), the most disturbing feature of the Aleutians picture is the apparent casualness with which Ameri- can officialdom regards it." As serting that the Aleutians are the shortest road from America to Japan" and form a vital link with Russia, the Monitor adds: "No variety of fog can hide the fact that parts of them are in enemy hands"
 Several editors commend on the scarcity of the news from that theater of war, and the diff culties of the public in following developments. The Idaho States man (Rep.) declares: Its misty muddle," and refers to the is Hands as "the Illusion Islands
 And the Richmond (Va) Times Dispatch (Ind. Dem.) adds: ''The question remains whether fogs and gales in the Aleutians are really as severe as is claimed, and whether the Jap foothold isn't more serious than is official ly admitted"

Press Demands For Early Move
 To Recapture Alaskan Islands

Japanese forces occupying the Aleutian Islands must be dislodg ed immediately, a majority of the commenting newspapers assert. though few editors argue that an all-out attack can be safely postponed until later in the sum- mer.
 It is agreed that Japanese strongholds in the islands of Attu, F-lsNa and Agattu menace our communications with Russia, threaten our Western Coast, ane may seriously interefere with eff fective attacks on Japan.
 Many newspapers contend that military censorship makes it i'm possible for the public to form a picture of the seriousness of the situation.
 For purposes of both offense and defense, it Is highly desir- able to boot the Japanese off these islands as soon as possible" maintains the Rochester (N. Y.) Times Union Gnd). If frequent fog hampers our bombers it may be necessary for the Navy to send task force to do the job before the Japanese improve their positions.
 At Kiska," observes the Chic ago Daily Tribune (Ind), they are half way across the Pacific, and in that sense they are about as far along as if they had taken Midway The newspaper says further, the way to stop the pro cess of gradual approach to our shores is to drive them out now before their foothold is secure"
 Now is the time to finish the job,' says the Troy (N. Y.) Record (Ind), ito purge the AL eutians of our willy enemies. Give the Japs no rest until they rue the day they though they could take a single spot of Am erican territory and get away with it."
 How ever, the Worcester (Mass.) Eveneing Gazette (Ind. Rep.) recalls the effective timing and action of the Navy in the South Pacific and contends: Our naval leaders know that this string of islands is both a po- tential asset and a potential strength. Their strategy, as well as their power, will accomplish a liquidation of the enemy forces that have had the temerity to go there" The Gazette suggests that submarine action will soft en the enemy up for the strong CT attacks our forces will make on them when August and Sep tember bring clearer weather"
 And the Billings (Mont.) Gag ette (Ind) declares: 50 long as the Japs retain only a tenuous hold on the islands, all is well. We can repeat submarine attacks and nibble off more of the foes

LOLNDON, Sept. - Winston Churchill told the House of Com mons that storming Hitler's Flu ropte at Dieppe was an "indis- pensable preliminary to bigger undertakings.
 He said that Britain's army in Egypt is now stronger actually and relatively than 1t has ever been"
 Britain, he reported in war summary as Parliament recon vened, may be confident of our ability to maintain a successful defense of Egypt not for days and weeks but for several months ahead
 Continued Trend
 These specific details fitted into what Churchill termed the con tinQing trend in the Allies favor since the last report, with com plete accord between Britain and the U. $. on waging of the global war.
 The accord, he said, has exist ed since the end of July. At sea he also gave a cheering news re- port, saying that though losses are still heavy, they have drop ped so sharply that they are now slower in rate than the replace ments through new building, Still he acknowledged that the NazIs are building subs faster than the Allies are able to sink them. Nevertheless, he said, bombings of German shipbuild- ing yards ''have had an increas- ing effect on the output and as sembly of U-boats."
 U. s. Air Might
 With a direct reference to Am erlcan air cooperation in the Flu ropean theater, he commented that United States daylight bombing is a new and increasing ly important factor no doubt both in the accuracy from high level aim and an mutual defenS- i've power.
 New possibility of air war fare are being opened by our American comrades in their Fly ing Fortresses."

NEW COMEDY TO
 OPEN TOMORROW
 ON CAPITOL BILL

A custard pie is a better bandit stopper than blazing bullet!
 Upon that novel premise, Colum- .bia is said. to have hung one of the most delightful Westerns ever filmed, Go West, Young Lady, which packs mirth, music, melo- drama and oomph into motion picture entirely new and novel Penny Singleton, Glenn Ford and Ann Miller top the featured cast of the comedy, which opens to- morrow at the Capitol Theatre.
 Miss Singleton takes a brief sab batical from her popular appear ances as ."Blondie," to appear in Go West, Young Lady" as the lovely young heroine who losses off pie or a song with facile aban- don, who handles a six-gun or a dance routine with delightful ease
 As her romantic lead, Glenn Ford tops even his superb performance in the recent, and only a bit less boisterous, Texas Ford is seer as the gum totin' frontier marshal whose efforts to round up Pecos Pete, the worst villain west of the Mississippi. lead to one blithe con- edy situation after another, and the toe-twinkling Miss Miller com ports herself with lovely graceful ness as the dance hall entertainer who is Pecos Pete's prettiest aide
 From all of which it may be gathered that Go West, Young Lady is slightly different" Ac- cording to ecstatic Hollywood com ment, it's as different and as de- lightful as Here Comes MT. Jor- dan"
