Secretary of Navy r. Knox Says Movements Be-
 Iieved Satisfactory
ARMY, NAVY INv0Lv WE'D;
 NO MARINES ENGAGED
Former War Minister of Japan BroadCasis Stafe-
 ment on Fighing

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Belief that the American landing forces on Attu Island In the Aleutians are going ahead satisfactorily Is ex- pressed by Secretary of Navy Frank Knox but he declined to give any details regarding the cam paign which is today starting on the fourth day.
 The Secretary declined to venture any prediction as to the length of time it will take to clear the enemy out"
 IL is stated only the Army and Navy is involved in the landing and no Marines are in the attack as they were in the Solomons where they battled the Japs in the jungle for several months.
 IL is also announced the landing on Attu was made under cover of dense fog.
 The size of the landing force is not officially known, neither is the size of the defending forces.
 Secretary Knox did state that when details are received from the North Pacific action, they will be made public,
 In an apparent effort to prepare the Japanese people for bad news regarding the fighting on Attu. former Minister of War Araka is quoted in German radio broad cast picked up by the Associated Press here as saying that "setbacks there and at home will only in- crease our strength
 At no point in the broadcast is Araka quoted as predicting Jap victory at Attu. He said merely that whatever happens there will "in no wise affect the will of the cer- tainty of victory for the Japanese people,
 Officials in Washington are of the belief the Japs at Attu are be- ing defeated and possession of the island may now be in the hands of the American invading forces.

The W ashing ion Merry Co.,, Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-You can mark it down as definite that the coal mines will remain open for the duration.
 John L. Lewis will not resume the strike when his 15-day truce" with the operators expires.
 At the same time, don't be sur ,prised if there is no real settle ment of the coal wage dispute in the form of a new contract between Lewis and the operators.
 This may sound like a paradox for the mine labor boss has stated repeatedly that members of his union won't "trespass' on the prop erty of the operators unless they have a contract. However, to insid- CTS who have been close to the coal crisis from the beginning, the an- swer is obvious:
 Lewis is willing for Interior Sec retary Harold Ickes to continue as czar of the nations coal mines after the 15-day truce expires, in which case the mines still would be the property of the government
 When Ickes, in his capacity as Solid Fuels Administrator, an- nounced, two days after a long con- ference with Lewis, that he was retaining control until the coal business is going concern" he meant until he was assured of con- tinued production-or for the du- ration, if necessary.
 While Ickes didn't say so, he as sumed that Lewis might not sign a new contract with the operators while the War Labor Board had jurisdiction of the case. This has been borne out by developments since.

us. Maneuver ai Aitu Causes Speculation of
 Direti Attack on Japan

WASHINGTON, May 15.-There is no indication, according to Army and Navy authorities, that any at- tack has been made by land forces on Kiska following the landing on Attu.
 This led to speculation that the United States maneuver is designed to outflank the more strongly held enemy base, if possible, and place a garrison in an untenable position before attacking there.
 Attu has been used as a supply point it Is said, for Kiska
 Presumably, possession of Attu will greatly reduce the usefulness of Kiska by the enemy as a po- tential airbase and submarine op- erating base
 The possession of Attu will also give the American Aleutian's Com mand a weather observation station vest of Kiska, fact of supreme importance in the Aleutians be- cause no weather moves from west to east
 Possession of Attn, provided Kis- ka is knocked out, will speedily afford an American base within $50 nautical miles from Japan's great base at Paramushiru, at the northern end of the Kuriles. ex- tending between Japan proper and Kamchatka.
 If the Japs succeeded in carrying an airbase out of Attu's mountain ous landscape, Americans undoubt- edly will devote full energies to complete it as speedily as possible in order to bring Paramushiru un- der aerial bombardment.
 The sudden action in the Aleu- tians comes as specialization of re- cent suggestions that the war in the Pacific will be intensified.
 Prime Minister Winston Church. i'll brought with him for the con ference with President Roosevelt. Marshal Wavel, British Command CT, Lieut.. Gen Stillwell, U. s. Con- mander in China and Major Gen. Chennault, Commander of the Fourteenth Air Force in China, are also in this country where they can be summoned for conferences with numerous high-ranking American military men from Australia, the South Pacific and Pearl Harbor.
 Attu is l,778 miles from Tokyo as bombers fly and about 500 miles west of Dutch Harbor. Alaska.

DOESN'T LIKE VILE

The mine labor boss not only has refused to negotiate with the War Labor Board, which he sus- poets of being prejudiced against the miners, but he and his advis- CTS have decided privately to sign no contract with the operators as long as the VILE has jurisdiction.
 Lewis would rather take h. s chances with Ickes, who has shown no great love for mine operators in the past and who already has made two concessions to the min CTS since taking over-a guaran- teed six-day work week and a pro- mise to clean up profiteering by operator1owned commissary stores
 Also, Lewis would like nothing better than to hold the VILE up to public ridicule for failing to settle the coal strike. This, appar- ently, is part of his strategy, since he knows that Ickes will be com pelled to retain control of tn Q mines, whether the Interior Secre- tary likes it or not, if there is no settlement.
