Rayon. Cotton Yarn
for Synthetic lire
Production Boosted
BY sftER FREEMAN

The War Production Board
has ordered expansion of high
tension rayon yarn production
by 41.000,000 pounds to meet
requirements Of manufacturers
of military and heavy-duty civil
ian synthetic rubber tires in
1914 and 1945. This will boost
total output of rayon to 1885,
100000 pounds.
Cotton tire cord production
for 1914 is scheduled for 275,-
100000 pounds.
To meet this goal. the u. S.
Rubber Co. has reconverted two
more of its textile mills from
the manufacture of duck to tire
cord. The mills are at New Bed.
ford. Mass, and Shelbyville,
Tenn.
This makes four mills of the
company now devoted to tire
cord production. Chafer fabric,
another important item in maxi
ing tires, will continue to be
made at Shelbyville.

booklet just issued by Du Pont,
Take Care OF Your Cooling
System. 1t tells how the cool
ing system works, how to pre-
vent troubles and the value Of

The booklet points out that
good antifreeze compounds do
more than keep the water from
freezing up. They also guard the
system against rust, corrosion
and scale. The rust inhibitor In
the anti-freeze is a valuable
weapon.

forward position for Amchitka,

field for the aerial campaign on
Kiska, and a rear position for Attu,
of to the northwest. But as a
naval base Kiska is regarded as
something entirely new in that sec
ton OF the Pacific-a sort Of 16-inch
gun pointed at the head OF Japan.
Mr.. Early indicated that Mr..
Roosevelt and the Prime Minister
had been aware of the Kiska de-
velopment for some time.
THE President asked me to say

that he is very happy to be in Que

Landings August Is.
Allied forces moved in massively.
The announcement said that word
of the action had been withheld
pending the unloading of trans
ports" The first landings were
made August Is. six days ago. OBJ
viously many thousands of troops
have been put ashore since.
The troops were transported by
ships heavily protected by American
and Canadian naval units. The
bombs of Allied airmen and the
guns of Allied warships joined to
clear their path. Since this huge
amphibious force had to spend
neither bullet nor soldier in COM
bat on Kiska, there was much dis
cussion here as to what 1t might
do next.
Geography indicates that the next
offensive thrust will be almost due
west from Kiska, nearly 1000 miles.
There lies Paramushiro, northern
most of the Kuriles-a vital de-
fensive position for Japan, a place
OF great offensive possibilities in
American and Allied hands.
But there was no notion here
that the Allied high command would
run headlong into any such new
adventure. The islands, which al
ready have been raided three times.

ton aimed at Selling an Allied base
on the Japanese side of the Pacific,
in the Kuriles Islands.
The joint announcement here also
emphasized the cooperation of
American and Canadian forces.
Since no British were involved, Mr..
Churchill did not join in the Kiska
statements.
In the absence Of any announce
ment to the contrary, it was gen.
orally assumed that Mr.. Churchill,
the President and the Canadian
Prime Minister were continuing
their planning today with emphasis
on political aspects of the war.
The grand strategy for victory
over Germany in Europe and for
advancing the campaign in the
Pacific-Asiatic theater to the point
OF final drives was believed to have
been laid out in its complete form,
bur subject hereafter to changes
necessitated by events.
Strategy Not Rigid.
Military experts say the great
genius of the British American
strategy is that it is never rigid and
can always be tailored to fit the sit
uation. This fact applied particu-
larly to the bloodless victory at
Kiska.
The official announcements, here
and in Washington and Ottawa,
made it apparent that a terrific
fight had been expected. The Jap
anese were believed to have had
10000 men on the island. Under
the leadership of Vice Admiral
Thomas C. Kinkaid, a combined
force of Canadian and American
troops, nodded into hardened in
vaslon force, had hit the beaches
ready for trouble and, as the Presi-
dent and Prime Minister put it, mo
