Joint Sea-Air Attack
Brings Kiska lis
Heaviest POUNDING
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
In a communique containing fresh
evidence that the hour of doom Is
rapidly nearing for 10000 Japanese
troops holding Kiski Island, the
Navy disclosed yesterday that the
Thursday assault against the in
vader's Aleutians outpost was a
joint sea and air operation.
The latest war bulletin on the
action suggested that the Japanese
probably took a heavier beating on
Kiska that day than ever before in
the 1871 months they have held
the rocky island.
The attack started with an air
raid by Army four-engine Liberia
tor bombers, Mitchell twin-engine
medium bombers and swift Light
ming and Warhawk fighters. These
planes heavily bombed and strafed
Japanese coastal batteries, anti
aircraft positions and building areas.
This first air attack was followed
Immediately by the naval lombard
ment in which heavy and light guns
of the Pacific Fleet poured tons of
steel and explosives on the same
targets. Then the aerial squadrons
returned to the scene and mopped
up.
The communique reported, with
what was regarded here as great
conservatism, that these terrific air
and surface onslaughts started nu-
merous fires and observers of the
attacks saw at least one terrific ex-
plosion. The attacking groups in
cluded American Warhawks piloted
by flyers of the Royal Canadian Air
Force.
The japanese fired back with
coastal batteries and antiaircraft
guns. But not an American war
ship was damaged by fire of the
shore cannon and only one United
States plane of all those over the
island during the afternoon was shot
down by antiaircraft fire. It's crew
was rescued.
Kiska has been raided 20 times
this month and bombarded seven
times. Neither japanese warships
nor planes has offered any opposi-
ton.

All those good government in

sugar which you were hearing about
so optimistically a month or so
ago have turned into taffy in one
of the most perfect examples Of
bottleneck to be developed during
the war 1t isn't exactly any one
persons or one agency's fault, and
the bottleneck will in time be clear

bination of circumstances which no
one foresaw, tlie sugar situation on
the east coast today looks like this
ball of wax:
There are a number of ships
loaded with raw sugar, riding at
anchor cl tied to the wharves in
several gulf ports, which can't be
unlOaded because there is no
place TO store the sugar.
There is an embargo against
loading this sugar on freight cars
at these southern ports. for rail
! shipment to the eastern refineries.
/ This embargo was slapped down on
Aug. 81 by the Association of Am
erican Railroads, on order or with
the approval of the Inters ate Com
merce Commission, to prevent the
use of freight cars for storage of
raw sugar at eastern terminals near
the principal refinerieS in Savannah,

from the West Indies. But because
i of the submarine menace this direct
! shipment has been somewhat re-
stlicted, making it necessary for
j the eastern refineries to get their
/ raw sugar by rail from the gulf
ports.
Here the sugar shipping ran into
a manpoWer Sholtage Several
manpoWer shortages The railroads
were short on manroWer to handle
switching The refineries were
short on manpoWer to handle un-
loading from box cars, unloading
from shipside normally being
handled by mechanical conveyors.
The sugar boats used to bring in
cargoes of from 1000 to TOO tons.
The average freight car will handle
30 tons, meaning that from 10 to
$50 cars had to be used to carry
each boatload of sugar up the At
lantic coast to the refineries. In
all, this began to tie up some 1900
to 1900 freight cars every day.
The refineries were apparently
willing to pay demurrage charges
for storage, but that began to
clutter up the railroad yards
which were already jammed to
capacity with other war freight.
The railroads were also under OBJ

of freight cars for stOrare simply

LET'S STAY MAD

California Progress Review
Now that Benito Mussolini is back in
the clutches of his good friend" Adolf
Hitler, there is noting we can do toward
bringing him to justice until, and unless,
we again catch up with him-and with
Hitler.
Recently, when the whereabouts of the
former Duce were a mystery, radio
commentator speaking from London said
that the British people We're not likely
to clamor for Benito'S blood, since Italy
was no longer in the war.
We do not know whether or not the
commentators view accurately express
ed the sentiment of the British majority
or how they feel since MusSolini'S res
cue" We do know however, that the
British, and Americans as well, are motor
iously willing to forgive the offenses
against him. But mercy, without justice,
is not really mercy at all To merely
forgive a crime does not in itself guar
antee reformation of the criminal.
Let's look at it this way. The govern
ments of the United Nations have prom
ised to punish axis leaders. Why? Be-
cause it is recognized that if human
rights are to be respected in the future,
those who have Haunted those rights in
the past must be made to answer.
Would we say of a gangster who had
lust shot down some innocent victims,
Lets not punish him now-we've taken
his gun away? If the people of the
democracies are already willing to skip
Mussolini, then there is grave danger
that Herr Hitler and his henchmen may
escape full punishment.
1t is most laudable for people to want
to forgive and forget. But if by so doing
we lay the foundation for future disre-
gard Of law and the rights and lives OF
innocent people, then our conduct is not
laudabe but despicable When this war
is over we have got to "stay mad" long
enough to see that very thorough justice
is dealt to those responsible for interna-
tional crimes

PURE IDEAlISM

This is idealism in its purest form.
Practically does not enter into it. To
Mr.. Myer it is evidently inconceivablc
that anyone would have an objection to
marrying a japanese girl or Japanese
man and bringing into this world hall
japanese, half-American children.
The entire incident has an ironical
undertone when one reads the stories of
Americans released from detention in
Japan in exchange for certain japanese
nationals returned to their native land
AS soon as the war started they, as
the japanese in certain L. S. areas, were
rounded up and put in camps. But they
were not given their choice of three veg
etables on their dinner menus or chance
to work in the fields in the open air
Dingy cells within barbed-wire en-
closed areas, scanty food supplies and
conditions at which the average Ameri-
can hobo would turn up his nose were
their fare.
Somehow the whole thing seems to be
a burleSque.

WPB DECENTRALIZATION

milwaukee JournaD
The War Production Board is appar-
emily preparing to take long overdue
step to improve its efficiency. A sweep
ing decentralization program is to be put
into effect. No longer will everything
be funneled into Washington with the
inescapable delay and red tape.
In effect. there will soon be l3 little
WPB's because each regional branch
will be given far greater authority and
only broad general policies will be con-
trolled from Washington.
INLAND G. Batcheller. operations vice
chairman believes decentralization
will save businessmen a third of their
trips to Washington and will cut paper
work 25 to 40 per cent.
This is move in the right direction.
Such decentralization is needed, not only
in WPB but in almost every other Fed
eral wartime bureau and in many peace
time bureaus.

roads have common law right
to impose a. any time, was the
only answer to keep their cars
rolling.
That solution threw the burden
right back on the shipping inter-
e5ts, who thus found that they
couldn't unload. Shipping space
being at a premium too. the ship
operators are faced with the al
ternatives of leaving their ships in
port, loaded, or sending them back
where they came from to unload
their sugar and take on other
cargo
AGENCIES INTERVENE
This kind of headache would be
funny if it weren't so serious. AS
it is, it has involved half dozen
government agencies - the Com
modify Credit Corporation, which
SuperviSeS sugar imports; the War
Shipping Administration, the Office
of Defense Transportation. War
Manpower Commission, Interstate
Commerce Commission, and the ra-
tioning division cf the Office of
Price Administration, which in final
analysis has to dole out whatever
sugar supplies aic available.
All these outfits have been
huddling on the problem daily for
the las couple of weeks and
eventually hope to bring order
out of the confusion. A permit
system is i'm force now. If re-
finer has r.lnpOwer and storage
space for handling so many cars
of sugar, he can get a permit to
have that many cars shipped to
him. to arrive on specified dates.
ODT is also trying to find places
to store scme Of the sugar in
transit, but that's tough because
warehouses are all bursting.
Thele isn't any sugar shortage
threatened by this pile-up. There's
a million and a half ton surplus o.
refined sugar already in s 'orage
This is normal for this time of yea"
and enough to carry the country
over till the new crop begins to
come in early in the winter But if
this transportation bottleneck cant
be broken, those increased sugar
allowances might have to be de-
layed still further.

TUlE LAKE INCIDENT
HARD TO UNDERSTAND

The Tule Lake episode, in which Jap
anese who had been segregated because
of their asserted disloyalty to the United
States refused to work and seized War
Relocation Authority officials, is hard
for the average American to understand.
The actual strife and terrorism of the
Japanese acts is understandable but the
resiscence on the part of certain officials
at the camp to take stern action is hard
TO comprehend.
Why the army was not called in I'M
mediately, as it eventually was, Is the
question mark.
The answer can probably be traced to
idealism.
Certain Americans, in their desire to
treat the interned Japanese according to
democratic conceptions have leaned over
backwards in their attempt to see that
they get a square deal. In their at
tempt to be fair they often are unfair
to their own people.
1t is certainly foolish and unwise TO
allow trouble-makers who were puJ IN
such camp because they had been clas-
sified as disloyal, privileges which would
allow them to endanger American lives.
And yet some are foolish enough TO
maintain their beliefs of equality Tor
all" in spite of reverberations from such
treatment which almost resulted in bod
lily injury to themselves.
Dillon Myer, director of the War Relo-
cation Center, after being seized by Jap
anese strikers, refuses to give up his
practice of coddling the Japs. In fact, he
has forwarded the idea that the Aneri-
can people should assimilate all Jara-
nese in this country.
By assimilating he means that Ameri-
can boys and girls should marry Japa-
nese mates and by constant cross-brecd-
ing, eliminate the Oriental strain entire
ly.

1t develops that President Roose-
velt, Premier Churchill Secretary
Hull, General Eisenhower and
other high Allied leaders weren't
playing the NaZi game when they
declined to assume that the down
fall of Mussolini was all lot of
hog-wash.
1t develops that the professional
busybodies- and a lot of sincere
amateurs misled by the profess
sionals-were wrong in their con-
tention that Mussolini's retirement
meant nothing, that Badoglio and
King Victor Emmanuel intended to
90 through with the war as Hitler
StoogeS.
While the anti-Hull claque rant
ed and raved, Allied leaders were
negotiating and receiving the un-
conditional surrender of Italy,
under terms dictated by US.
Only a minimum of background
and of logic was needed to make
it clear that General Bado2lio, and
the king himself, were in a very
difficult position, from which it
would take time and ingenuity to
extricate themselves.
We had known for & long time
that German military and naval
and civilian personnel had been in
filtrated into the Italian bureau
cracy so thoroughly that even the
fat boy himself remained Tree onlT
30 long as he remembered to add
''Signor" every time he said "Si'' 10
Hitler or to any of der fuehrer's
personal representatives.
1t was not enough for Badoglio
to say, casually: We're through.
It's all yours now, General Eisen-
hover" The Germans had fore .
seen such a possibility, and had
carefully provided against it. Bado-
Clio had to negotiate on behalf OF
his country, seeking the best terms
possible. No patriot of any race
could have done less. He had to
conduct those negotiations behind
Hitlers back.
Messrs Roosevelt, Churchill, Hull
and Eisenhower were in position to
realize not only the difficulties,
which should have been obvious to
all, but also that steps were being
aiken to overcome those difficult
ies-steps which now have re-
moved the italian armed forces
from the conflict.
The busybodies didn't know what
was going on, but they were i'm
patient. They wanted Italy on a
silver platter, and they wouldn't
wait. Anybody who showed reason
able patience was, to them, a vicious
collabol ator, probably fascist
minded.
We'll, now they have their answer.
Will it deter them the next time
they get angry about something
they don't understand? Not at all.
They'll live, and die, talking out OF
turn.

NOW THEY KNOW

One of those innumerable pieces of

that even the government doesn't like

be reminded of them.
OPA, in this release, is asking coal
mines or dealers who deliver fuel to the
government or its agencies to lump the
federal Transportation tax in with the
rest of the bill.
By way of explanation, OPA says that
