rust bursts, apparently to gauge the accuracy of the individual bat teries.
 The around the clock bombing began at 7:50 am. and kept the Japs on tenterhooks until 6:30 pm.
 Returning raiders reported many fires in the camp area among the patches of snow, the first really good days bombing in two weeks.
 ALEUTIANS NO SIDESHOW
 AN ADVANCE BASE IN THE ANDREANOFS, April 14--(Delayed) Don't kid yourself The Aleutians are no sideshow. Kiska and Attn will both be hard nuts to crack when and if American forces want to expel the Japanese.
 At Guadalcanal the Japs were taken by surprise in beach landings which were made with little oppo- sition The Marines were not shot at in the water.
 Kiska and Attu are all set.
 When the Japs moved onto Kiska and Attu, they did so because the general staff envisioned Attu as a supply base for Kiska which would be a submarine base
 They expected attacks and backed their positions with guns.
 The reasons why it will cost blood when the Americans decide to shoot down the Rising Sun flag here are: .
 First, the United States policy apparently is to deal with Ger many first, then the Japs, and the Japs have been developing their Pacific outposts.
 Second, dislodging the Japs from Kiska and Attu means beach land ings with the beaches few an d heavily covered with light an d heavy enemy guns. The other beaches are cruel and rocky, man killing and opposed to beach land ings. They would cost blood-lots of it.
 Not Experienced
 Third, the Army is little experi- enced and opposed to beach land ings which require perfect coor- dination of land, sea and air forces.
 Fourth, the weather, if it follows the Aleutian pattern, will not favor the United States and may prevent accurate surface and air soften ing" April to date, is an example We were set to dump 50 tons of bombs daily on the Japs and have had just one such day.
 Fifth, the Japs are ready and it will be difficult to take them by surprise or to catch them away from their guns as on Guadalcanal
 So far out, our pilots have dropped millions of pounds of bombs and drawn perhaps a nose bleed, The pilots reported today the air was black with ack-ack over; Kiska and that it was not in conceivable that the enemy was holding eback with some so as not to reveal all placements of bat teries. a,
 iaii Be Long Fight
 Eight and a. half months ago, the Navy estimated there were 10000 Japs there. Some who know the is- lands estimate if landings are made, fighting will still be under way in six months, the same time as Guadalcanal.
 However, the Japs know fear. When bombs fall, it is not like bayonets coming at you. We can give him plenty of bombs and plenty of sharp steel. That done, Kiska and Attu can be regained.

between State Senators John F. To-
hin .D) and Francis J. Summa, as
to who should be chairman Of the
state commission appointed by the
last legislature to investigate Water

ported as the reason for the delay
whereby the commission has yet to
formally organize.
Other members Of the commission
stated today that as yet they have
received no formal notice whatSo-
ever as to their duties or the exact
responsibilities Of the committee.
The commission wa appointed al
most nine months ago as result of
the passage Of q bill in the last
legislature sponsored by Sen. Sum-
ma and demanding the investiga-
ton.
A city commission was already in
force ct the time the state group
was appointed, and had already tax
en- comprehensive steps toward a
6efinite program to look into the
pension system, for possible i'm
provementS and changes.
Members of the city commission
today stated that they had held two
or three conferences with actuaries
for the purpose of organizing a def
mite investigation into the pension
schedule. However, this local COM
mission was given to understand that
they were superseded in authority
by the appointment Of the state
commission and for that reason
were forced to discontinue their
program.
It was stated however that If the
leaders Of the state group did not
come up with a definite program

be revived and put into operation
again.
