led into a clump of bushes, where
he found most of his crew. They
explained they had stayed with the
raft until dawn was about to break.
Fearing sunrise would expose them
to the japanese, they had decided
to risk swim to the beach, where
they could hide. But Ensign Plant
and two men, who couldn't swim
very well, decided to stay. What
became of them the nine didn't
know, and no one knows for sure to
this day.
But the first thing belong did
was to post lookouts, and all day
they stayed in that clump, with an
eye on the Jap observation planes
which flew over them in relays,
watching a hot little skirmish be-
tween the Americans and the Japa-
nese on the far shore of the bay At
one point the Japs were falling back,
and there seemed to be a chance
that they could make a run for it
in daylight, rejoining the American
lines. But never was it quite posi-
BILE, and in the meantime they had
spotted a couple of bancas, native
boats, farther down the beach.
1.-TWO men who we're sent out to
investigate, crawling on their bel
lies through the grass, returned to
report the bancas were in fair con-
dition. So when the sun had set
they crawled to them and started
getting them in shape. For rowing
they had two paddles, couple of
spades, and board. They had to
work fast and quietly, for the Japs
we're all around them-just as they
we're launching the bancas they
dred yards away.
But heavy wind came up, and
at nine o'clock at night, both boats
capsized. They righted them, but
the shovels and the board were lost,
and they now had only one paddle
for each banca. Yet with these
they continued to fight the head wind
until three in the morning, when
they we're so exhausted that they de-
cided to try the shore. So belong
landed on what he hoped was Napo
Point. They picked their way
through the barbed-wire entangle-
ment on the beach, and then found
themselves up against a steep cliff.
They kept very quiet until dawn,
not knowing whether daylight would
find them surrounded by Americans
or Japanese. But when it became
light, the first thing they saw was
Filipino sentry.

after we parted company at the

around its northern rim as we'd
planned. But just before midnight
he developed engine trouble-the
saboteur's wax had clogged his
strainers. He cleaned them and had

went haywire. They stopped, and
were drifting as they repaired it
when there was an ominous grind
ing sound under the boat-they were
aground on a reef in Subic Bay.
"They rocked the boat, and final
ly started the engines to get them
selves unstuck. But the noise now
attracted the Japs, and a 3-inch
gun on Ilinin Point opened up on
them-splashes coming nearer and
nearer. They worked frantically,

percent increase in the Alaska sal
mon pack is possible, and if given
adequate labor and equipment, AL
aska's vast fishing waters could
furnish an estimated pack OF six to
six-and- one-half million cases in
1943, Harold l.. Ickes, Fishing Co
ordinator said today.
This compares with the 1912 pack
of 5,015,375 cases, indicating an in
crease of 20 to 80 percent is possible.
The greater potential yield would
result directly from wise conserva-
ton measures evolved by the Fish
and Wildlife Service and practiced
in Alaska over a period of years,
according to Ickes, but the Alaska
salmon industry. the most important
of its kind in the world, faces many
problems during the coming season
Main Problems
Chief among these are the taking
of tenders and other floating equip
ment by the war agencies, and the
ack of an adequate labor supply.

Big Thrust by U. 5. Expect

Long Days

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Under
cover of the long Arctic nights,
the Jap invaders of Kiska Island
in the smoky Aleutian Islands APP
pear to be receiving supplies and
reinforcements.
Military authorities, who declined
to be quoted by name, express the
opinion, however, on the basis of
all available information, that the
enemy's hold on the bleak outpost
is little If any more secure than
last fall when the u s Armv's air
attacks eased off because darkness
had set In for the winter.
One of the most recent indica-
tions that the Japs are not idle
came when two Lightning fighters,
escorting medium bombers in
raid over Kiska, were shot down by
forr float-type Zero fighters on
December 80.
Only one Of the Zeros was de-
stroyed and that was the first evil
dence in many weeks that the
enemy had float planes at Kiska.
Officials expressed considerable
surprise that the Japs were able to
move in such reinforcements.

major Robert 8. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON other day,
Lieut.. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell
pushed button on his desk and
sent for an officer of the Real Es-
tate Section of Army Engineers.
That officer had been engaged in
such projects as condemning and
purchasing girls schools for con-
version to military purposes, so he
was surprised, and little amused,
when he heard Somervell's request.
Il want you to find an apart
ment," said Somervell, "for the
Elmer Davises Director of the Of
flee of War Information), and it
must be place where they can
keep a cat"
The officer obligingly secured the
town, first found an apartment in
the Marlyn-only to learn that the
Davis cat would not be admitted.
Somervell kept abreast of develop
ments, and at one point the idea
was considered of condemning an
apartment and taking it over
Finally the officer found nook
on Sixteenth Street, where all the
Davises, human and feline, could
be housed.
Pleased with this success, Somer-
veil promptly gave his officer an
CHER little housing assignment. The
British Government had sent to
Washington their noted Gen. Sir
Walter Venning, to serve as pi.sc-
tor General of the British Minis
try OF Supply Mission. But Sir
Walter and his Lady were having
housing troubles.
They had secured small apart
ment in the Shoreham, but want
ed something larger. Gen Somer-
veil, as Chief of U. S. Services OF
Supply, knew Sir Walter, an &
promised to fix everything.
Promptly. he sent his Real Es-
tate officer to the Shoreham, where
it was learned that larger apart
ment was about TO be vacated. But
there were complications. Two Adj
mirals OF the U. S. Navy had heard
the same news, and their wives
were already competing for the
precious space. One was the wife
of Admiral Thomas C. Hart. Com
mander of the U. S. Fleet in the
battle of the Java Sea, and she
was confident that, on the basis
of rank, her husband being a full
admiral. would have superior
claims.
But Gen. Somervell put an end
to the argument by taking the
apartment for Sir Walter. That was
was that.
