JAPANESE AIR ACTIVITY IN
 ATTU AREA
(By NORMAN BELL)

ADAK, AleutianS, Oct. 27.- (APi-The resumption of Japan eSe air activities in the Aleutian area may indicate the increasing nervousness of the Tokyo war makers over what new troubles are brewing for them in the stormy Pacific.
 The presence of enemy planes, probably on reconnaissance over Alaska, was disclosed in Navy announcements of two Japanese craft being encountered and driven off this past week near Attu.
 These air contacts were follow ing the October 13 bombing of Attu which was carried out by high-flylng bombers which in flicted no damage, yet escaped in the fall of night.
 The Japanese are frantically building defepses in the home land and in the Kuriles Islands against the danger of any new American thrust along the north ern shortcut to Tokyo. Param1- shiro on Shimushu, the northern most island of the Kuriles, is less than 300 miles from Attu, and has already been raided four times by the Eleventh Army air force borsbers, since July.
