BY EUGENE BURNS,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
SEATTLE, June 2 Delayed -
I'm scared of the Jap. After flying
more than $4,000 miles in Is days
over and around Attu and landing
at both Massacre and Holtz Bays
fronts, am convinced the Jap is
the toughest foe in the world. The
Nazi doesn't come any tougher.
Essentially. Attu was the easiest
Jap-held or Jap-owned island in the
Pacific we will ever take away from
him. It took us. with overwhelming
force, three weeks-and yet the Jap
Is fighting in the hills to the last
man. Kiska, where the Japs are
about five to ten times as strong,
will be harder.
Many strategists have said "the
Japs will fold up in six months once
tie have unquestioned air superiority
and have sunk the Jap fleet"
If Attu is an example, that is
buncombe.
At Attu we had the air and we
had the sea and, with fog helping,
an unopposed landing. That will
not happen often.
Air superiority is not enough to
beat the Jap. Both Kiska and Attu
have been pounded numerically. It
did not deter the Jap at Attu and
1t does not seem to faze him at
Kiska, He is still digging in.
Naval superiority is not enough.
We had the sea to ourselves excert
for few submarines. Our invasion
fleet was perhaps the biggest we
have ever assembled in the Pacific
for such a job. Too, the naval bom-
bardments of Attu did not lift the
Jap out of his revetments as we
might have wished.
At Attu the Jap was whipped at
the point of the bayonet.
When I left Holtz May % two
Jap prisoners had been taken. Even
with Chichagof in our hands today
the Jap is fighting in isolated out
posts, although the resistance is
hopeless. Is there anywhere a pos
siblity of mass Jap surrender as
at Tunisia?
III NCll. ouIlOll oOHpdE buCkQGI,
r., head of the Alaska Defense Com
mand, told me:
The Japs are tough. We must
take a corkscrew and jerk each one
out of his rat hole.
That prediction was true at Attu.
Considering what We had to throw
at the Jap at Attu, our casualties
were severe. Battle casualties do
not tell the complete story because
We do not include those who were
evacuated due to frozen feet and
exposure
If Attu, Guadalcanal. where saw
him fight in the jungle with equal
determination. and New Guinea
where I was bounced in an airplane
by his fack, are examples of Jap
tenacity and will to fight, then we
must expect similar resistance else
where-and more These we're re-
Gently acquired outposts of his en-
pire and least defended.
That scares me.

That's me-" said Hall bitterly
II was only in Guatemala 10 days

you didn't ever reach the

II was on my way there when

Barry said thoughtfully, Can
the Clutches be behind all this?"
Il thought so at first" Hall ans
wered soberly. But since then
I've changed my mind. I've had
plenty OF time TO think, you know.
Then what is the ansWer?"
Il think there's somebody u lot
more worldly than this primitive
Indian tribe behind the whole
scheme. Every night as I've lain
here on my cot I've heard the
rumble OF cart wheels going up
and down the slope. l think they re
working some Of the cinnabar
mines and hauling the ore TO a
hidden smelling place near the
coast"
Barry stared at him. You're
kidding!'
Neither kidding nor drunk" re-

Barry thought rapidly. II that's
true it isn't the QUICKEST" ne cried.
They don't give rap for money.
But where do you suppose they're
selling their quicksilver? Gov

aren't getting any from down

The Axis nations need it as
badly as We do, you know" Hall
said quietly. Fishing boats could
carry it out TO larger boats out
Of sight OF land On this coast it
would be a cinch."
"Of course the CLUTCHES have al
ways mined some quicksilver,
Barry suggested.
Yes. / checked that when first
arrived here but it was only a
little and the only use they made
Of it was to trade it TO the coastal
Indians for fishing rights. They
liked it as a curiosity, not for any
commercial purposes They wouldn't

Above the souNS OF the wind as

could hear the distant rumble OF
heavy cart wheels as they bounced
over the rock stIeWn slopes,
Let's see what We can hnd,"
Hall whispered.
Barry nodded.
Tony led the way on foot while
Allison rode behind him on his
mule. Barry and Hall each led a
pack mule. The night was lnky
black and the going was rough

The distant rumble grew slowly
