Dutch Patriots Executed as Others Sentenced

LONDON, May 1l.--The Neither lands News Agency Aneta today quoted reports that a state of siege has been decreed throughout Maxi occupied Holland and 26 Dutch pa- triots have been executed already and ten others sentenced to death
 The siege Is a result of disorders apparently connected with the att tempt to stage general strike.
 Aneta says the state of siege was ordered by Arthur Seysx Inquart the Reich's Commissioner of occu- pied Holland.
 The Stockholm newspaper Sven- ska Dagblhet published an article saying the siege is the result of serious disturbances" following the Nazi order for reinternment of all former Dutch Army members as prisoners of war.
 Aneta also asserts serious inter- ruptions of the supply of food to the country resulting from strikes

 The men found it easier to haul the, four tons of equipment up the steep slope from the river to the camp site on their backs than at- tempt to push the loaded sleds up.

 Organizing Here

Lieutenant Earle Watterworth district Coast Guard Auxiliary di- rector for Alaska, told Juneau Ro- tarians at their weekly luncheon in Percy's Cafe today about the activities of the Auxiliary in Alas ka, disclosing that volunteer Auxil- iary vessels recently have contri- buted vital information to the Coast Guard. He cited instances in which Auxiliary members sighted floating mines, which were later removed, and rescued the passengers from a large vessel in distress. Alaska Aux lliary members also reported two submarines. Formation of a Juneau unit will get under way this week, Lieutenant Watterworth said.
 Col. George B. Norris, Army of ficer stationed in this area and a former Rotarian at Missoula, Mon tana, was introduced by Lieutenant Colonel Frederic H. Nichols. Col.

 Correspondent

ADVANCED ANDREANOF BASE April 30- CDelayed)- Despite al- most daily snow storms a plane consisting of Williams U. s. Army bombing fighters, pilots dumped roc tons of explosives on Japanese Kiska and Attu April II. the Air Force headquarters announce.
 To do this, the American and Canadian pilots made 148 raids comprising 991 sorties with tempo bombing winch is increasing over the Aleutians monthly, since the Nipponese began building runways on Kiska and Attu
 1000 Tons Dropped
 April's high makes a total of B. 91l,720 pounds. or nearly 2,000 tons of explosives which have been un- loaded on the enemy since the Jap's occupation last June.
 However the Japs are still dig ging in, and pilots tell that tough est days of the month were when we were ready at dawn and stood by all day, our planes loaded, but We couldn't take off to sock the Japanese because of the - weather"
 Our months losses were one Lightning pilot, plane crew of nine from Liberator, and one man injured. Thirty-five planes re- ceived battle damage, which, ex- cept in the case of four planes. could be repaired by the village smithy. RCAF pilots made five Kiska raids during the month of April

 | The ancient harbor is filled now with warships and cargo carriers which in 8 few weeks have poured in enough supplies for a formidable .rmy.
 The Jap planes which began 'poradic raids a few weeks ago
 4 aIo float planes, most of them the single float type generally des- i2nated as zeros.
 They have been over this base 10 times and dropped bombs eight times. There has not yet been a raid of any considerable intensity The largest bomb dropped was not more than 500 pounds, most of them smaller.
 Weather Helped
 These planes were able to bomb at all cnly because of weather pe- i {euliarities which sent our fighters back to their bases. Later in the afternoon, Jap warplanes with only short flight back to their Kiska ! base were able to come over Am chitka after the American patrols left
 For the past several days. our ground crews have referred to the hour of 6:30 pm. as "Tojos hour" because of the regularity in which a formation of float bombers ap- peared at that time.
 The Japs never dropped more than a dozen bombs, and those from an extremely high altitude. There were few strafing attacks. A j few times a single Jap strafed an isolated outpost
 Fear Our Guns
 But for the most, anti-aircraft guns ashore and on the ships have kept the invaders high.
 These bombings are the first concerted aerial attacks on Alaskan soil since the bombing of Dutch Harbor last June.
 Only two or three nuisance raids by single planes have been made 1 all year as the Americans have been advancing from island to island for more than 800 miles, building a series of air bases.
 These advance fields will help greatly for until now each of our planes which took off or left a base in the Andreanofs or further east ran great risks simply because it might run into foul weather be- fore it could return. Most of the aerial losses were from this cause, not the Japs.

KNOX GIVES HIS VERSION,
 WORLD WAR
Explains Fundd enta Reason for U. 5. Being
 in Present Conflict

CHICAGO, May 11.-Navy Sec retary Frank Knox said here last night that the Navy's part in the North African campaign has been "a transcendant success"
 Addressing the Union League Club, Knox said that the United States lis in the war for this fun damental reason: to preserve the country, not because of love for the British, Russians, or Chinese The adhesive force which makes the Allies-of which we are a part possible is self f-preservation. After the war we must find a way to maintain peace. We have learned by now that good wishes on paper will not do the job. That requires sheer brute force"

Pan American Engineers in
 Great Battle
Defy BIizzards, Icy Rivers 10 Set Up Radio Std-
 lion in Alaska

Battling raging mountain tor rents choked with ice and fighting fierce Alaskan williwaws to install badly-needed radio station in a remote glacier locked Alaskan river gorge. engineers of the Alaska Di- vision of Pan American Airways have succeeded in setting up a radio guide of inestimable value to mil itary and civilian fliers of the Northland
 The station, located at the foot of rugged divide often lashed by three kinds of weather at once, now is bellwether for pilots flying air borne supplies to Alaskan towns or big bombers winging their way over one of the most vital military air routes in that section of the world.
 For military reasons, the exact location of the station cannot be revealed. but the full story of men successfully battling against time and the clements to move four tons of supplies to the station site, then assembling the equipment within the 28 day time limit allowed can be told
 The work was done by crew of engineers under the direction of Wayne Downie, Alaskan Division communications construction en- gineer, with the help of skiffs, mal- amutes, and human brains and muscles, despite weather conditions that threatened at times to bring disaster to the entire expedition.
 The story begins with Downie's reception of a message from Charles E. Huntley, Communications Su- perintendent of the Division, read ing: Proceed installation glacier base soonest possible Must be op- erative within twenty-eight days. Anticipate difficulties but need ur- gent. Know you can do it.
 The anticipated difficulties were nothing to what Downie and his crew actually faced soon after leav- ing the plane that had flown them to within seventy miles of their destination. With equipment load ed in a 25-foot skiff the party set out in a launch for an easy 40 mile trip up-river to a landing place where dog teams would meet them and transport the load for the remainder of the distance.
 The first trouble came in the form of a raging williwaw piling snow and sleet and great chunks of ice against the boats and final ly sinking the skiff beneath the surface.
 By working like beavers in a race against the rapidly approaching Alaskan twilight the men succeeded in repacking the ice-caked equip ment in the bailed-out skih and making the landing place where all but the most delicate part of the load was stacked on shore. Equip ment that otherwise would have been damaged was taken with the men to a nearby lodge for the night.
 By morning snoWdrifts had bur- jed everything under six feet of powdery whiteness. By the time

AMCHITKA ISLAND AIR BASE -Delayed) Tt is February 16 and despite a series of eight Jap bomb ing raids, this American air base, only a few minutes from Kiska, went into operation today, less than l8 hours after the latest Jap at tempt to bomb the operation to a standstill.
 American fighter planes landed on the new field this morning. By the time they had landed, no trace was left of any damage done py the Japs and casualties were neg ligible.
 This island is only five miles wide. It is the nearest place to Kiska save a few minute dots un- fit for bases.
