 So. Pacific Sky
By Associated Press

Damaging new air attacks on Japanese bases in both the Solomon area of the South Pacific and the western Aleutians of the North Pacific were reported today by the Navy.
 In the Guadaleanal Canal area in one of the greatest and possibly one of the most significant air bat ties of the war in the South Pacific, TT Japanese planes were knocked out of the sky. Six U. s. planes were missing There were no indications as to the Japanese objective in risk ing so large a force of bombers and fighters in the area where they have been consistently and badly defeated in the air. Total strength of the enemy was not reported.
 In the North Pacific, the Nayy's new Vega Ventura medium bombers attacked the Jap base on Kiska and scored hits in the camp area, along the airfield runway and among an ti-aircraft batteries.

 BERN-Allied promises to break German resistance through heavy bombings are beginning to be ful- filled German newspapers reaching this Swiss city indicated this week. for mass evacuation of cities in western Germany is underway, with sanction of the Nazi government.
 The result of 180 heavy raids by Allied planes and 500 air alarms has been the issuance of orders of removal of hon-essential civilians from the target area The Nazi press was engaged in a campaign to impel rural residents to open their homes to the refugees.
 Adolf Hitler's paper, the Voel- kischer Beobachter, said: Comfort must bow to the demands of ne cessity," adding it was better to take in refugees than to have "a few fine homes when many don't know where they can live"
 Much-bombed Dusseldorf. target of a recent 2000-ton RAF raid, is one of the chief cities being evaeu- ated, the German papers said. Com muniques issued at Berlin have re- ported very heavy losses there, and damage to publ i c

SACRED LEAF OF KIRI
 HELPED TO TAKE ATTU

WASHINGTON-American forces employed phychology as well as firearms in subduing the Japanese garrison on Attu island, causing a premature" falling of the much feared kiri leaves over Attu to con- vince Nipponese defenedrs that their luck was against them.
 he story came out this week after Arthur w. Schuett Jr., Naval Avia- tion machinist's mate back from the Aleutians, told in St. Louis how American fliers dropped maple leaves on Attu.
 The Office<of War Information, however, whose experts dug into Japanese mythology to plan the physiological attack said they were not maple leaves but genuine kiri leaves" from the tree known officially as paulownia tomen tosa.
 Their magic power Is the basis for a Japanese play, "One Leaf Kiri'', which tells how power-grab- ping militarists met their downfall because the kiri leaves fell too soon.
 Although enlarged somewhat, this plot as re-enaeted on Attu may have caused wide alarm. The leaves were made of paperandcolo red to. resemble kiri leaves.
 All kinds of misfotune are sup posed to befall any village where the sacred leaves drop from the trees before their season.

REWARD OFFERED TO
 FINDERS OF RUBBER BALES

Finders of bales of crude rubber, which have been found washed a. shore on Southeastern Alaskan is- lands during the past year, are to be rewarded for their finds, it was announced in a communication to The Sentinel from Donald K. Shing- Ter of the Coast Guard. MT. Shing Ter has been appointed acting rub Der development agent.
 The rubber, which apparently came from some ship sunk in the Pacific, is a vital material in the battle against the Axis, MT. Shing- Ter said. Several bales, which weigh ed in excess of 100 pounds, already have been recovered in the Ketch- ikan district during the past year and a report from the States dis closes that exposure to salt water and the elements does not prevent the rubber from being proeessed-
 The bales, the first of which was found on Prince of Wales Island by Al Miller, are similar in shape to bale of hay but smaller. They are composed of layer upon layer of brownish, high-grade crude rub Der.
 MT. Shingler urges everyone, es- pecially men on boats of the fish ing fleets, to be on the lookout for these bales of rubber which will not only bring them a reward, but also give them the satisfaction of know ing they are contributing material ly to the nations war effort. The rubber will go into tanks, planes and jeeps that will defeat the Axis
 All bales, he pointed out, should be markedgto establish the name of the finder and sent to him at Ketch- ikan.
 Payment of 10 cents a pound will be made to all finders, including those who have located the bales in the past, he said. Payment will be made by the Federal Reserve Bank in Los Angees.
 MT. Shingler said that the bales may be shipped collect by conner cial transportation, be turned over for shipment to any Coast Guard or Forest Service boat or station, or any other method of transportation may be used

Jittery Axis Sends Out Peace FeeIerS
 As Allies Close In
By Associated Press

A sure sign that a bad case of big filters" is gnaWing at Rome and Berlin as increasing indica- tions of Mountbattan's promised new amphibious weapon for future use against the Axis grows. is shown in dispatches coming from Axis and Axis-held territories this week.
 The first Hitler-Alussolini head ache came from Ankara where semi-dfpiomatic sources said that the country of Rumania. an Axis satellite. had extended peace feel CTS to learn how her withdrawal from the war would be received by the AEAes. Allied authorities in Turkey said they had been ap- preached through the medium of a neutral diplomat with a purported peace feeler together with the in timation that the Rumanians would like to leave the Nazis flat at the start of the 1943 campaign in Rus sia if permitted to retain at least portions of Bessarabia and Buko- yina, which also are claimed by Russia.
 But the looked for German sum mer drive on Russia apparently has fizzled out
 From London and Washington today's reports attribute the failure of the German drive to materialize to German front-line shortages born of Allied air blows at their com munieation and supply eenters on the continent.
 Meanwhile, the Rome radio to- day reported anxiously that a fleet of many Allied landing craft was concentrating from African coast points toward Pantelleria and Madrid dispatch from La Lfnea told of 75 Allied ships including a bat tleship, two aircraft carriers and 10 destroyers which had arrived in the harbor at Gibraltar.
 To add further to Axis anxiety all is not well between Germany and Turkey From Bern. switzer- land, comes the information that Turkey has recalled Behic Erkin. it's ambassador to France. in pro- test against strong German restrtc- tions on his Embassy.
 In Vichy, a Turkish diplomatic source said that Erkin's recall to Ankara was not yet considered as a rupture in relations between Fur key and German-occupied Vichy, but that it "could be a step in that direction"

Thoughts
On Love,

BY HELEN ROWLAND

A MANS FACE always
wears that surprised look, when
he faces the marriage altar be-
cause, somehow, up 10 the very
last moment he has vaguely
hoped for a reprieve.
Love IS what makes girl
want 20 scratch a mans eyes
out when he lets them hnger
too long on another girl.
THESE SUDDEN marriages
which are too fiImSy 10 last
more than a week, may not be
a brilliant success. But the fact
that two people got as far as
the altar proves that, al least
for few moments, they meant
well BY each other.
4 grintstone is the stone
which many a wife sometimes
suspects that she got in her en-
gagcment ring. and which
husband sometimes thinks that
the clergyman hung around his
neck
