 Lieut.. Conway, who served year in the Aleutians before getting leave, praised newsmen for then accurate reporting of the Aleutian campaign. He was stationed at Am chitka during the early days of the move to oust the Japs from Attu and Kiska and told of the rapidity with which that island was de- veloped into a formidable base.
 Conway also praised the work ot the men on Attu, saying that they aren't stacking at all in their work at present but are working to de- velop this westward island into a great offensive base. He said that it took only l9 days for Navy con- struction battalions to build a dock capable of berthing Liberty cargo ship. A steady line of supplies is flowing to Attu, he said.
 Lieut.. Conway stated that practi- cally every island of any size in the entire chain now has some sort of an airfield, adding that Attu offers fine accommodations as base
