 OFFICIAL HERE

William B. Ihlanfeldt, assistant general manager of the Alaska Spruce Log Program, now is ir Juneau conferring with Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman before returning to his Seattle headquarters after visiting the site of the program at Edna Bay
 Ihlanfeldt spent three weeks at the operation and reported that production is progressing very sat- isfactorily in spite of the fact that all camps are operating with a shortage of manpower which pre- vents maximum production.
 During his stay he saw many rafts of logs going south to Puget Sound mills, three large ones leav- ing one day within 20 minutes of each other. He said the three rafts contained the best quality of air plane spruce brought into Puget Sound mills since the war started.
 Eight camps are operating at present and one large road build ing crew for truck logging from the middle of Kosciusko Island.

yet on Axis shipping and direct hits
were scored on at least eight vessels
including a light cruiser and two
destroyers.
Doolottle's Mitchell bombers en-
countered enemy war vessels OIL
Cape Bon and raked the cruiser
with hits, forward, amidships and
astern and left it mass of flames
and apparently sinking.
The bombers then hit destroyer
and sent it down and soon after
a direct hit was registered on a
second destroyer and it was also
seen to slowly sink beneath the sur
face of the water.
The other vessels were tanker
and several supply craft.
Wien the sun set off Cape Bon,
The sea was mass of flames as
the bomber craft were only burning
hulks.
Raids, said to have been success
fully executed, were made on other
concentration ships of all varieties
as the Axis made desperate efforts
to rush supplies to North Africa,
especially the Tunisian front.
