SECRET WEAPONS?

Recent dispatches indicate that the
Germans may also be saving up new Sc
cret Weapons to combat our planes when
the zero hour finally arrives. A new
rocket cannon" mounted on the Ger
man FILTERS has already been put into
operation against the big bombers Of
the Raj and the USAAF. The effec-
tiveness of the rockets has not been an
nounced yet.
The obvious strategy of withholding
newer type planes and weapons until the
all-out assault begins would be to take
a disastrous toll of our aircraft before
counter measures could be provided by
our experts. The aim would be to de-
stroy the necessary air umbrella" which
is now necessary for successful inva-
sion.
But whatever the reason for the disap-
pearance of thousands of divebombers
and other craft which previously were
active against the Allies, our soldiers are
now taking advantage of the situation.
In Russia the forces of Premier josef
Stain are advancing almost unimpeded
by attacks from the air. Unescorted
bombers are able to attack factories in
France almost at will And the advance
of our troops in Italy is made consider
ably easier due to the preponderance of
our air power.
But such expediency can only be truly
exercised if our leaders are making plans
to take care Of any eventuality, including
the introduction of secret weapons.

PULLING QUESTION

The most puZzling question of the Eur
opean war nowadays is: Where is the
German airforce"
The infamous and feared Luftwaffe
which led the Nazis to an early conquest
of Poland, France, Belgium, Holland and
the other occupied countries is nowhere
to be seen
Over the peaks bordering the Naples
plain in Italy, along the Dnieper river in
Russia, over the western edge of the con-
tinent Hitler's bombers and fighters are
conspicuous~by their absence.
Can it be that our pilots have destroy
ed the major portion of the enemy's first
line planes? 1t is hardly probable.
Although our filters have taken a heavy
toll of the foe in the air and our bombers
have destroyed a great number of plane
producing factories the loss has not been
great enough to account for the total lack
of opposition.
What is much more likely is that the
Axis birdmen have been ordered to re-
main in their nests" and not to tangle
with the deadly Spitfires, Mustangs,
Lightnings, Thunderbolts, Liberators,
Flying Fortresses and other Allied craft
The Nazi strategy seems to be to hold
the Luftwaffe in reserve until our troops
begin an attack on the continent in
France or on the outer edges of the Reich
itself
Then the Nazis will turn loose the
pilots who blasted the heart of defense
less Rotterdam and Warsaw and attempt

WONDERFUL WORK

l would like to say word of
appreciation here for the wonder
ful work the regular navy and army
doctors and the great number of
reserves are doing. Their work is
magnificent and accounts for the
small percentage of the loss in men,
once they have reached a hospital.
The administrative work, which has
been done at home, and which has
sent these units out SO we'll equip
ped that it has been possible to
set up hospitals and to receive pa
tients in record time, also deserves
our gratitude. This great business
is not just initial planning, which
in itself is great job on an un-
precedented scale, but in keeping
the flow OF necessary requirements
arriving on time. All equipment
deteriorates quickly in the tropics,
but the home administration soon
found that out and now a shortage
of anything is very rare.
Wherever there are nurses, they
do a wonderfully good job and
mean great deal to the men. But
even where there are no nurses,
the hospital corpsmen or orderlies
are remarkable. They are as gentle
and as patient as a woman with
the wounded and the sick. The Red
Cross is another vitally important
agency for the wounded, who arrive
with nothing but the clothes they
wear and Identification tags. A
toothbrush, comb or any little COM
fort looms large, and smile and
word of cheer from a Red Cross
man or woman is even more i'm
portant.

GUADALCANAL, September 18th,
Delayed had an interesting
experience the other night, the first
and only one of its kind I've had
on this trip. We were spending the
night in a hospital, not like Ernie
PYLE who lay in a tent where the
wounded are brought in and lie on
stretchers and wait for the busy
doctors to get to them, but very
comfortably and safely, if somewhat
primitively. The hospitals on Quad
alcanal have had time now to eS-
tablish themselves and, since it is
the first stop for many of the SER
iously wounded it is important that
their installations and equipment
be as good as possible and provide
as much comfort as is competible
Mrs. Roosevelt is now back in
the United States but her report
on her South Pacific tour SHAH
continue for several days.
My Day was subscribed to only
for the time Mrs. Roosevelt was
away but if enough readers would
care for the continuance Of the
column il will be inserted daily
hereafter.

become a daily feature, drop a

with the conditions near the front
under which they still must live.
GO TO SHELTER
An alert sounded as we were
driving into the hospital area after
supper. A motorcycle military po-
liceman dashed by calling out AIR
raidl" We were driven Immediately
to a shelter. They made us go in,
though many people, including the
patients, still were standing out
side. 1 think the officers felt it
would prove to be false alarm,
for it was early, just barely dark,
and the moon was not yet up. ToJo
likes a full moon, the boys told me,
and later in the night it is almost
as clear as day.
We sat with some patients and
hospital corpSmen in the dark and
two more men on crutcheS hurried
in and seats were found for them.
lMurmurs of conversation began and
one man whiStled, but none seemed
even to sense tension. I wondered
if they all felt as I did, that this
was just kind OF routine and had
very little to do with my real life,
which was going on very calmly
in my mind.
Very soon the all clear sounded
and I proceeded to make the rounds
of the eleven WarGS which / had
been unable to cover before supper
Here 1 looked for some effect of the
air raid alert on the men, but found
only two patients disturbed. In
both cases, think, it was because
they had been under long strain
and any noise in anticipation of a
disturbance was too much for them.
I noticed earlier in the day, when
l was talking outside with a group
of ambulatory patients, and a blast
went off where they were putting
through a road, some men just
faded out of the crowd and went
| outside, unable to take the noise
and the unexpected flash, even
though they knew it's source. Some
OF these boys go through great
hardships after being wounded and
before help can reach them. I have
seen some who had craWled to safe :
ty in spite of broken legs and other
wounds.

Dean Allen, Back from AIeutidns, Not Allow
 ed 10 See Folks

Because regulations are regula- tions, Dean Allen, l7-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Tom Allen of Ju- neau, probably won't be able to visit his folks on his l5-day leave after spending 10 months in the Aleutians, although he was at the Juneau docks last night.
 Young Allen, with the Army Transport Service as a machine gunner, spent the latter part of his service at Attu and received his leave in Seattle. He didn't know that he had to have a travel per init and the Seattle ATS office ar ranged for his passage home to see his folks.
 He picked up his ticket and boarded the boat But when he ar rived here last night Juneau au- thorities would not allow him to leave the boat because he had no travel permit. The local authorities say Dean must return to Seattle and get his permit if he is to enter Alaska where he has lived all his life. But, of course, by that time his leave will be over.
 Capt R. A. Boaz, in charge of the travel office here, said noth- ing could be done. He said the regu- lations and orders he has been told to carry out say that no civilian may enter Alaska without travel permit. Therefor Allen cannot enter Juneau because he has no permit.
 Boaz said that his office is very strict about seeing that no one leaves Juneau unless that person has a travel permit. He said he did not know how Allen was allowed to board the boat at Seattle with out a permit
 Allen had papers with him, in- cludng his birth certificate and a Coast Guard pass.
 The authorities permitted MT. and Mrs Allen to board the boat last night and visit with their son before the boat left for SkagWay.

HOWARD DIES MONDAY
 AT PLATINUM
Suffers Heart Attack = Re- mains to Be Brought

Howard Case, engineer for the Goodnews Bay Mining Company and well known in Juneau, died suddenly Monday night as the re- suit of a heart attack, according to advices reaching here from Plati- mum, Alaska.
 MT. Case, with his wife and 10- month -old-son, spent five months in Juneau last winter, returning to Platinum for the opening of work this spring.
 Born at Skagway in June, 1904, he spent his early youth in Ju- neau, attending school here and was graduated from the local high school. Later he attended the Uni versity of Washington, where he was a member of the zeta Zi fra ternity He was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Juneau.
 In February, l941, he was mar ried here to Margaret McFadden, former Juneau school teacher.
 Besides his wife and young son, he is survived by his mother, Mrs. w. H. Case and sister, Mrs. Hugh J. Wade, both of Juneau.
 MT. Wade, who is in Anchorage, will bring the remains here for burial.
