Direct Hit on Sub.
He said that during another night
action, an American destroyer
scored direct hit on a submarine

japanese from Kiska.

THE completed chain of air and
naval bases also will protect our

Maj. Gen. William o. Butler of
Tucson, AriZ., commander of the
18th Air Force, added the comment
that the victory has released the
11th Air Force to strike directly at

Credits Bombing Tolls.
Admiral Kinkaid credited the
bloodless victory to our Jap-killing
bombing tolls.
1T was expensive to fire so many
rounds of ammunition and to drop
such large number of bombs and
to keep up our constant patrols, but
we saved thousands of American
lives" he declared.
The Kiska battle, Admiral Kin
kaid said, actually was fought on
Attu.
BY the recapture of Attu, we
obtained the means of preventing
supplies from reaching Kiska Island
and the means of bombing Kiska
by the 18th Air Force from bases
to the westward, thereby insuring
the fall of Kiska ITSELF" he ex-
planned.

Admiral Kinkaid added, was dis

Russians PRODUCING
10000 Planes Yearly
Now, German Says
By the Associated Press-


A German aviation correspondent
estimated last night that the Rus
SLAMS are building 10000 planes a
year and admitted the Soviet air
strength in battle has surprised
many experts, most of whom did not
want to believe that the Soviets have
arisen to a position where they can
produce so many planes
Only 5 per cent of the Soviet
planes shot down recently were
fighters and bombers of British and
American manufacturers, the CORE
Spondent, Karl Zeppelin of Trans
ocean News Agency, said in a Berlin
broadcast recorded by the Associ-
ated Press.
According to German figures, he
asserted, the Russians lost $500 first
line planes from January to Au-
gust /, 1943. In 1912, the Germans
downed 16,486 Soviet first line
planes, he declared.
The SoyietS, now as before, are
throwing strong air formations, es-
pecially fighter planes. into battle"
Most of these, he said, were single
engined, with only 10 per cent of
those shot down being multi-engined
bombers. This, he went on, indicated
that "the Soviets are almost ex-
clusively specializing on the building
of single-motor planes which are,
of course, produced much quicker
and require much less production
effort but which also have much
smaller fighting value than two or
four engined bombers."
The Russian planes are almost all
built of wood and their equipment
comes nowhere up to the standards
of other belligerent countries. **+
The Soviets are striving at any cost
for large quantity at the expense of
quality"
The foreign planes piloted by Rus
slams and shot down by the Germans
included Curtis, Airacobra and
Hurricane fighters and Boston and
Hampden bombers, he said.
