in the Aleutians, where the Army
has had an air base for more than
a year. Amchitka is 81 miles SOUTH
east of Kiska, now occupied by the
Japs, and is $50 statute miles east
of Paramushiro.
Attu 725 Miles Eastward.
Attn Island. which has been re-
captured by the Americans, is 725
statute miles to the eastward Of
Paramushiro but 1t has not been
disclosed whether the United States
has runway there large enough
for Liberator bombers of the size
which carried out the Kurile Island
raid. The Japs had constructed
small runway there, however, before
it was retaken by the Americans.
The air action in the North Pacific
is the first against the enemy re-
ported since July 80, when an Amer
ican surface force bombarded the
japanese installations on Kiska.
Since that time there has been an
ominous quiet IN the area, attributed
in some sources to the bad weather
prevailing there and in others to
the belief that preparations were be-
ing made for an amphibious attack
Oh Kiska
The earlier japanese announce
ment of the raid, which was broad
cast by the Toxic radio and recorded
in New York by the Federal Com
munications Commission, also said:
Raid Repulsed. Japs Claim.
Further appearances of enemy
planes from the north are to be ex-
pected."
The TOXIC announcement had
said that japanese antiaircraft
promptly repulsed" the American
attackers.
The broadcast warned the Japa-
neSe that the raid must be regarded
as resulting from positive meas
ures' that the United States had
taken to raid our mainland, Japan,
from the north"

Grange Leader Warns
Some Areas Of u. ).
Face Milk Rationino

Albert S. Goss, master of the
National Grange, this afternoon
warned of serious milk shortages
in the Nation resulting in part
from Office of Price Administra-
ton ceilings on milk, and pre-
dicted that milk rationing will
be inevitable in some sections of
the country.
Speaking at a meeting of the
Junior Board of Commerce in the
Annapolis Hotel, the farm leader
said the dairymen's plight was one
Of the most serious in agriculture.
Producing food is fast becoming
the No. problem, but increasing
production cannot be achieved by
"directives from Washington" or by
price controls that actually throttle
production, Mr.. Goss declared.
Farmers, he said, are ''unalter-
ably opposed to Government sub
sides. Civilians must realize, he
dQQeQ, t1at Tie COSt OI producing
food must be borne now and not
after the war Subsidies, which he
claimed would create an "unbal-
anced price structure" will be taken
from farmers soon after the end of
the war, and when that is done
farmers will have to cut production
he said
There will then be a break in
prices and panic worse than In
1929" Mr. Goss asserted.
The farm leader maintained that
food costs in this country today
were the lowest of any nation. He
cited figures showing food costs had
risen 10 per cent, while industrial
wages had jumped ls per cent.
Despite the fact farmers are the
lowest paid Of any group, they ARE
going to stay by their guns and
produce food for us ALL" Mr.. Goss
said Too many persons picture
farmers as lone big, greedy group
which, Mr.. Goss said, was far from
the truth

room until Capt. Melchen and an
other Miami officer, Capt. James o.
Barker, arrived on the scene.

cutor. asked Maj. Pemberton
whether De Marigny went upstairs
during the 10 hours that the officer
remained on duty at the estate after
the crime was discovered.

swered emphatically.
The small courtroom again was
crowded for the continuation of the

Churchill
Continued From First Page.>

Tuesday between Mr.. Churchill and
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King of Canada and their chiefs of
staff naturally have been directed
toward problems and war strategy
of interest primarily to their own
countries.
Not until Mr. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill sit down at a conference
table in Quebecs ancient citadel are
the consultations expected to get
around to the point of final deter
limitations of the next steps toward
victory to be taken by all the Eng
disappearing Allies.
When the American Chief Execu-
tive will reach Quebec is military
secret. Obviously his arrival may be
anticipated soon, inasmuch as Mr.
Churchill could not be expected to
remain away indefinitely from Brit
ain.
War Boards Confer.
1t was not until late yesterday
that censorship bars were lifted and
Canadian officials announced what
the people of Quebec had been TAX
ing for granted-that Mr.. Roosevelt
would come to Canada's oldest city
for the strategy parleys.
The tapering off in Anglo-Cana-
dian discussions also began yester-
day. Under the direction of Mr.
Churchill and Mr.. King, the first
joint session ever held by the Brit
ish war cabinet and the War Com
mittee Of the Canadian cabinet took
place at the Chateau Frontenac
But later in the day, although
British and Canadian chiefs of staff
continued win-the-war talks at the
chateau, the two prime ministers set
out on a round of official calls whose
greatest Importance lay in adhering
to the niceties of protocol
They dropped in on Sir Eugene
Fiset, Lieutenant Governor of Quebec
Province. at his summer home and
visited Premier Adelard Godbout of
Quebec at the Legislative Building.
Premier Gobbout presented the
British Prime Minister to members
of the provincial cabinet assembled
in the Executive Council chamber,
the group chatted informally and
then Mr.. Churchill addressed the
cabinet at some length in French.
Further Sessions Planned.
The War Cabinet-War Committee
session was more serious business.
1t lasted almost three hours.
The field of the war was surveyed
and questions of special joint in
terest to the two governments were
discussed" Mr.. Churchill and Mr.
King said in formal statement
afterward. "A further joint session
will be held at later date
Britain had only two representa-
tives present--the Prime Minister.
who also is minister of defense, and
Sir John Anderson. a cabinet men,
Der without portfolio. Canada had
nine participants-Mr. King and
eight cabinet ministers who COM
prise the War Committee.
The impending Roosevelt Churchill
conferences. which may chart the
Allied invasion route into the Euro
pean continent, may be expected to
extend over several days, as have
their five meetings in the past. And
if past performances offer any guild
ance, they also may be expected to
culminate in a joint press con-
ference
But the real meaning of the dis
Gu ssions probably will become known
only when new sledgehammer blows
are swung at the enemy on the
