SECRET AIRFIELDS:
Held Dutch HarbOr

The story behind Japan's fail
ure to seize Dutch Harbor, the
navy's Alaskan stronghold, is due
largely to the existence" Of two
imaginary salmon packing COM
panies. The facts have just been
revealed.
The two packing firms were no
more than covers for one of the
Alaska defense commands most
remarkable jobs-the secret con-
struction of two airfields to guard
Dutch Harbor, When the Japs sp-
preached the naval base last June
3 with two carriers, three cruis-
ers and four transports-perhaps
as strong as the forces which
struck at Pearl Harbor) they un-
derstood there was no airfield
within 500 miles of Dutch Harbor.
In the midst of their assault the
Japs found themselves hit from
behind by land based planes and
bombed and torpedoed by land
based planes, Their spy work--so
successful at Pearl Harbor-had
failed.

TUNISIA:
AeridL fiction

Bad weather which has slowed
ground activity in Tunisia has
been no barrier to the growing AL
lied Air force.
As a prelude to General Mont
gomery's expected push against
Mharshal Rommel, Allied planes
have been pounding the Mareth
line. An elaborate system of forti-
fications hewed into the mountains,
this line stands between the bulk
Of the opposing aries.
After a month of offensive op-
erations against the American and
British lines in central and north
Tunisia, Rommel has pulled in his
wings. Although the Allies restored
much Of their original position
they have concentrated their effort
on softening up the enemy from
the air.
Allied air operations have been
particularly extensive over Sicily,
American and British bombers
have been pounding the great Axis
base at Palermo. Prosinone and
Pobballo were the latest Sicil,an
centers hit.

THUNDER:
OUer Germany

Since the RAF staged its first
colossal 1000 plane bombing of
Cologne last spring, Nazl indus
trial and communications centers
in both Germany and the occupied
countries have been subjected to
concentrated pounding from the
air. Out of 500 bombers, 475 re-
turned after the last shattering at
tack on Essen.
Railroad lines and the big auto
motive center Of Rouen have been
the principal targets in France.
The extensive system of canals
has been bombed in Holland and
Belgium. And in Germany, the
great naval base at Wilhelmshaven,
the big port of Hamburg, the steel
industries of the Ruhr, and the en-
gine factories Of Dusseldorf and
Nuremberg have been steadily
plastered.
In flights into the interior, the
RAF has been using giant Lancas-
ters, Halifaxes and Strings, which
carry the devastating block busters
in their bomb racks. Wellingtons
have headlined in the bombing and
strafing attacks on communica-
tions centers.
The great raids, with hundreds
Of planes participating on a daily
schedule, are believed to have
caused considerable damage to
communications which the Nazis
will need TO shift troops and sup
plies to meet an Allied invasion,
German war industry appears to
have been badly crippled. But with
the American air force joining in
the attacks in increasing numbers,
raids to date may have been only
good beginning.

SKIP-YEAR TAX:

When House Democratic lead

as approved by the ways and

presaged a pay-as-you-go tax bat
tie which may reverberate in the
1914 political campaign.
Party lines in the house were
well defined, for the most part,
Republican leaders were lined up
for and Democrats against the
Euml plan to skip an entire income

cause for worry among opponents
of the skip-a-year proposal. In
addition to the powerful Republi-
can membership which had lined
up for abatement, some Democrats
indicated they would vote with the
Republicans.

Petition for

Increasing tivities of the

Organizational work at the A&P

were until the management, in a
meeting, told them the names of
their organization.

Display Associates Co., where one
entire shift was signed up 100 pei

GIVE AND TAKE:
In Russia

Kharkov had fallen once more to
the Nazis and still they pushed
eastward. This was the story from
the Ukraine sector Of the broad
Russian front. In another impor-
tant sector, further to the north,
the Russians were having the bet
ter of it as their four-pronged Of
fensive swept swiftly through the
area around Smolensk.
This and the fighting around the
anchor poiAt of Orel were more
Immediately important to the Rus
sian cause than what happened at
Kharkov. Fer Orel serves as the
turning point between the southern
and central fronts. Hitler could jill
afford to lose this base.
While Russian sources admitted
that Kharkov was important they
also pointed out that strong de-
fensive had been established be-
yond the city and further claimed
that Hitler's troops found nothing
but dead Germans on the city's
streets when they took it. Military
experts reasoned that Hitler had
thrust about Is fresh divisions into
his drive for that point. Moscow
said that the reason Germany
wanted the city was to atone for
the great losses suffered by the
Nazis at Stalingrad in midwinter.

Rickenbocker's World War
Mechanic Advises Hero
Tells Him to Shut Up
And Go to Work

HARTFORD, Conn. E d d lie
Rickenbacker's heroic outburst of
slander against American workers
doesn't impress Walter Emmons,
ordnance worker at Colt Patent
Firearms Mfg. Co., who served
with Rickenbacker in 1913 as a
mechanic at Issonden.
Emmons, who works six days a
week helping to turn out machine
guns, says:
"Rick would be much more Of a
hero right now if he'd get down
and do a little honest work for his
country instead of drawing a fat
salary for stabbing American
workers in the back while they are
busy working, or fighting in the
foxholes where they can't talk
back"
A member of Local 270, United
Electrical Radio g. Machine Work
ers (CIO), Emmons was glad to
hear of Rickenbacker's rescue in
the Pacific, but when the ex-hero
took advantage of the publicity to
smear war workers, he burned up
Talking for NAM
"Who does he think he is?" EN-
mons wants to know. He wasn't
any more courageous than any of
the others who flew with him. And
they're out there fighting or try
ing to do something to win this
war, while Rickenbacker goes
around blowing his mouth off
against the working people for
the benefit of the MANI"
In regarl to his experience with
Rickenbacker in the last war, En-
mons doesn't say much. 81 used to
see him quite often when he flew
into the field" he relates, "but tc
tell you the truth, he didn't inter.
est me any. He was pleasant
enough, but he never struck me as
any better than any of the others
He seemed to be pretty impressed
with himself" And he adds signi,
ficantly: 81 guess he still is"

many.
First reports from Zurich and
Berne, Switzerland, indicated that
British Raj planes were dropping
guns and ammunition to the men
waiting in the Alps. German
sources soon claimed that many of
the men were deserting because of
the lack of such supplies. This
claim was substantiated by neutral
reports.
Much support and advice to the
movement was given by the AL
giers radio. This source claimed
that Italian troops in the area
were refusing to help pry the pa
triots loose from their positions.
An ultimatum had been issued
by the Germans before the fight
ing began but the French declined
it saying that they were ready to
fight through to the end.
While non-Axis nations were
cheered by the news of the resist

ing principle to wages without OBJ

CI0 Wants Board Continued
A statement by CIO President
Philip Murray was presented by
Van A Bittner, John Brophy, Rich
ard T. Frankensteeh and Delmond
Garst.
"The CIO is still firmly of the
opinion that the National War La
Dor Board as an instrument for
furthering the war program must
be preserved" Murray said. He
charged that recent decisions of
the board are not consistent with
it's publicly announced policies or
those of the stabilization act or
the Presidents stabilization order
Murray charged that while wage
stabilization was effective "there
has been a dismal failure on the
part of congress and government
officials to effectuate the remain
ing portions of the economic stabil-
ization policy"
Still Await Price Control
"The American people are still
awaiting effective price control and
the application of an overall demo-
cratic system of rationing of all
foods and other necessities" he
said "Why, in the face of adequate
authority are the people sub
jected to the ravages of black
markets ?"
"Why do we still have a con-
tinued increase in the cost of liv-
ing? Simultaneous with the an
nounced increase in the price of
milk for New York City the Bor-
den Co. reported for 1912 its
highest record of profits-larger
after taxes than its profits for
1941."
Murray called for tax program
other than 1942's program of "soak
the poor and spare the rich" He
called on the CIO and "other labor
groups and all other Americans"
to rally behind the WLB's program
to assure workers they will have
enough money to meet basic needs
and maintain health and maximum
production. This should impress
congress and government officials
as to the urgency of its immediate
application.

The case was dismissed afl
