AIaska's $ Seals Give Food Clothes, Light
 For AIeutian Bases
By WILLIAM l.. WORDEN Associated Press War
 COrrespondent)

AN ALEUTIAN ISLAND BASE, April 17-Delayed-Out here Am erican soldiers are making use Of everything-from old cracker tins for water buckets to remade boxes for officers desks.
 In the more remote posts, many times, less essential supplies are held up for necessary ammunition. Food and everything else has to wait its turn.
 But at least one outpost here has solved many of its problems with a single solution The solution is to shoot seals which occasionally come ashore on the rocks below point at the outpost.
 Shooting seals on the rocks or in the water may not be sporting but neither is war, and these soldiers shoot them for food, clothing and light, just as the natives have all ways done.
 The sealskins are being used to make home-style mukluks, which may not equal the Eskimo product, but are dry. The hearts and livers are fresh meat on any diet, and the precious blubber is rendered for oil which, in turn, is used as light ing fluid after the fashion of the old whalers and natives-in a bowl with a wick in it, and arrangements to keep the top of the wick above the bowl
 Even unrendered blubber finds its use as a waterproofing agent for boots.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, April 24-Gen. Doug las MacArthur's heavy bombers made solo excursions to the Jap bases in the Southwest Pacific on Good Friday
 One bomber, encountering a small enemy convoy south of Kavieng, dropped a bomb and started an 8,000-ton Jap ship on the way to the bottom. The four-engine Lib orator scored a hit with a 500- pounder directly amidships and the craft buckled, burst into flames and started toward the bottom.
 Three escorting destroyers are be- lieved to also have been hit.
 Two other heavy bombers report actions, one sinking small craft and smashing a Jap base at an undisclosed destination and another Liberator making surprise attack on a hidden airport and blasting craft on the ground.
 Ground Activity
 For the first time in many weeks today's communique reports ground activity, although of minor nature. The report, delayed since April 16, said Allied ground patrols operating beyond the main positions near Mubo, New Guinea, made a surprise attack and wiped out Jap outpost of 20 men.

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active duty)


 WASHINGTON Force off cials in Washington are amazed and delighted with Gen. MacAr- thurs recent blast about the Jap anese threat, and his declaration that air power is necessary to control the sea lanes.
 Here is the highly significant background behind their amaze ment, including reasons for Mac Arthur's switch" as the Air Force calls it.
 Traditionally MacArthur has cried down the importance of air power. Most people have forgotten 1t but he was one of the opponents of Billy Mitchell and sat on the court martial which threw him out ol the Army. But when It. Gen. George Kenney was in Washing ton recently, he warned of a change in MacArthur's thinking.
 "The maestro has switched sald Kenney-"keep your eye on nm.
 Even then, Air Force officials were skeptical. Their skepticlsm vanished, however, when MacAr- thur publicly declared, that ar power rather than naval power was the key to victory in the South Pacific.

ANOTHER CONVERT"

When they read this. champions of air power in the War Depart ment almost threw their hats i'll the air and shouted, Another con- vert!"
 Here is the reason why MacAr- thur came out with this blast. The Japs, still licking their wounoS from naval action, are busily bring ing up force for retaliation. Ana Macarthur knows that force is not naval, it is air.
 Macarthur has reports indicat- ing that the Japanese have con- structed a tremendous number ol new airfields in the long string oi islands reaching down from Ja- pan across the East Indies toward Australia. And they have already used these bases for delivery or a
